【摘要】 文章通过分析企业盈利能力和经营成果在会计信息系统中的集中反映和体现，因而是企业各利益方进行相关决策时关注的焦点。如何正确衡量会计盈余质量成为会计学科的一个重要研究领域。

一、对会计盈余质量维度的逻辑演绎
要分析会计盈余质量，首先要厘清会计盈余与相关范畴之间的关系。笔者认为，与会计盈余密切相关的范畴主要有企业盈利事实、公司价值和投资者决策三个关键因素。因为盈利事实是会计盈余生成的“雏形”，投资者决策是对外披露盈余信息的目的，而公司价值则是相关利益者关注的核心。那么会计盈余与这些范畴之间存在怎样的关系呢？可以用图1表示。在图1中，笔者标示了三个逻辑链条，下面就针对这三个链条对会计盈余质量维度进行逻辑归纳与分析。
