| Abstract | ||
| This research investigates the influence of investors' biased expectations on the opacity of financial reporting. Excessive biased expectations reflect optimism or pessimism of investors toward certain security or a particular financial market. Sample size consists of 83 companies listed in the Egyptian stock exchange. Three measures can be used to measure investors' biased expectations: Share Turnover, E Share, and dividend premium. Three measures can be used to measure financial reporting opacity: earnings management, quality of auditors and the type of audit opinion. Results imply that, companies with greater opaque financial reporting environment are more affected by excessive biased expectations of investors. | ||
