Description
Summary:The main purpose of this study is to investigation the relationship between financial distress and restatement of financial statement for listed companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). Consequently, in this study a sample of 107 nonfinancial listed companies on the TSE from 2010 to 2016 were investigated. Emerging Market Scoring (EMS) model was used for determining the financial distress and bankruptcy risk. In conducting this study, two main hypotheses were proposed. Comparison of means tests (t-test) and multiple linear regression analysis on panel data were used to test these hypotheses. The research results showed that there is no significant difference between the magnitude of financial restatement in financially distressed and non-distressed companies. However, bankruptcy risk is positively related to magnitude of financial restatement. That is, the more the bankruptcy risk, the more magnitude of financial restatement.
