In recent years, a large number of studies have investigated the accuracy of forecasted profits made by company management. In this study, we investigate the effect of nine variables on accuracy of management earnings forecasts for firms in Tehran Stock Exchange Market. These variables include Growth Profit, Growth Sale, Growth Assets, Past Forecasted Profit, Dividend, Company Size, Leverage, Stock’s Price and Industry.
