Universally, accounting information provides a vital service for broad and diverse users. Investors use financial or accounting statement for investment decisions; government agencies need it particularly for tax purposes while regulatory agencies use it to determine whether existing statutory pronouncements are complied with, among others (Kajola and Adedeji, 1998). According to Meyer (2007), β€œaccounting plays a significant role within the concept of generating and communicating wealth of companies”.

Financial statements still remain the most important source of externally feasible statement on companies. Nevertheless, in the wake of the recent accounting scandals and economic meltdown where billions of naira of investment and retirement wealth have disappeared, the very integrity and survivability of the value relevance of this service has been called to question.

Accounting data, such as earnings per share, is termed value relevant if it is significantly related to the dependent variable, which may be expressed by price, return or abnormal return (Gjerde, Knivsfla and Saettem, 2007)
