摘　　要：Based on the samples of mandatory accounting changes （MAC） and voluntary accounting changes （VAC） of our country in 1999 and 2001, this research explores the relevancy between MAC and VAC and its specific performance. The results of this research are shown as follows： （1） The timing relationship exists between MAC and VAC, and the frequency of VAC rises significantly in MAC year; （2） The relevancy exists in the earnings effects between MAC and VAC, and the combined effects which MAC and VAC have on earnings are in direct correlation with the earnings effects of MAC in the same year; （3） The supervisory factors of the securities market together with MAC influence the direction of VAC. Different from Pincus and Wasley＇s conclusion, when MAC is used to decrease profits, the part of VAC in our country counterbalances the effots of MAC; the listed companies with a special purpose will be against the direction of MAC and apply to VAC with a particular purpose.
