The research data were collected from 81 firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE), during the years 2005-2009. For testing the hypotheses, multiple regression analysis was used. The results show that there is a negative and meaningful relationship between debt and earnings quality.

Moreover, with respect to introduction, in high level of debt, negative influence of debt dominant to positive influence of debt, then the results show, there is a negative and meaningful relation between debt and earnings quality.
