This study aimed to measure the impact of the quality of financial reports on investment efficiency. Depending on a sample of (96) companies listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange for the period (2013-2018) and the two-way fixed effects method, the study concluded that high-quality financial reports could reduce moral risks and negative choices between managers and investors. As a result, high-quality financial reporting can reduce underinvestment or overinvestment. Finally, the study found a medium practical indication in the Egyptian accounting environment of the quality of financial reports on investment efficiency (underinvestment and overinvestment).

Key words: Financial reporting quality, investment efficiency, underinvestment, overinvestment
