| This Study examines the impact of accounting conservatism on mitigate creditor-shareholder conflict over dividend policy in 266 listed firms of Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) over a 10-year period from 2001 to 2011. Using correlation method and multiple linear regression technique, the results of this study show that accounting conservatism cannot mitigate as an effective contraction mechanism in creditor-shareholder interest conflict over dividend policy. Research evidence show that there is a negative significant relation between interest paid to creditors and dividend paid to shareholders. Also, that there is a significant relation between dividend payout in last year, firm size and operating cash flow with dividends paid. |
