Abstract

Investors are particularly sensitive to how financial reporting and discretionary disclosure of information by business units are about making financial decisions and analyzing economic events; But in recent decades, abnormal behaviors have emerged in financial markets that classical financial theories are unable to explain. Therefore, concepts such as mental accounting in the financial-behavioral context are more common. It has already attracted the attention of researchers. Although the theory of mental accounting was developed to explain customer and household decisions, its ideas are applicable to the preparers and users of financial statements and disclosures. The three main features of accounting theory (ie, coding, classification, and valuation) are consistent with the main features of financial reporting and discretionary disclosure. The statistical population of the present study is all active companies listed on the stock exchange, which was selected by systematic elimination method in the period 1390 to 1396. By performing regression, it was found that mental accounting has a negative and inverse relationship with the quality of financial reporting. With mental accounting.
