The objective of this study is to examine the relevance and reliability aspects of accounting with respect to earnings' usefulness which is measured as the association between earnings and share returns. Motivated by the lack of this research in emerging markets, this paper is focused on the companies listed on the stock exchanges in the Visegrad Group (V4) countries. Multiple regression analyses are used to establish links between accounting attributes on the sample of 64 listed firms for the time period between 2005 and 2017. This study shows that relevance is a more dominant accounting attribute than reliability. Companies listed in the V4 markets share this feature with companies listed in more mature markets. However, neither trade-off between relevance and reliability nor any trend in these accounting attributes was detected. The lack of these dynamics may be explained by different financial statements' information needs of users in the V4 countries compared to users operating in more mature markets.

Using price model, it is found that companies with larger stockholder numbers, listed on Amman Stock Exchange primary market, and that are older in age yield greater value relevance for per share earnings and book value. Book value has the greatest value relevance being the best predictor for firm value, while cash flows showed insignificant results. Finally, we concluded that closing price is the most dependable among the three stock price measures in detecting the accounting information value relevance in Jordan. The paper presents the ability of valuation theory/model to interact with other theories by including the effect of non-accounting information on the accounting information value relevance. Our findings might present evidence that can serve the educational institutions in their courses and provide a guideline to investors, managers and financial analysts to better summarize the firm value.
