The aim of this paper is to explore the conservatism in the Algeria companies and measure its level; the hypothesis assumed the existence of conservatism in the financial statements of Algerian companies. The study used an unbalanced panel data of 152 firm-year observations that concern 21 Algerian companies during the period 2007-2019, using Ball and Shivakumar’s (2005) model to measure the conservatism. The results are consistent with the expectations indicating the existence of conservative accounting practices in the Algerian companies.
