Disclosure through corporate annual reports is intended to enhance transparency and reduce information asymmetry during public issues. Ritter (1991) revealed that there is something fishy in the financial reports of the companies coming out with public issues. Earnings management has been recognised as a foremost contributor to such misleading financial reports. The short term overperformance of initial public offerings (IPO) of companies increases the expectations of potential investors and leads to a subsequent decline of performance in long run leaving the investors in distraught. The observed phenomenon is omnipresent and thus affects the investors across the globe. The present article empirically investigates the presence of earnings management in IPOs in India. The study is based on Modified Jones Model, the best known model to measure accruals earnings management. Preliminary results exhibit that earnings management in Indian IPOs is much higher than in developed countries. The study further discovers that the earnings performance of IPO companies is abnormally higher in IPO year as compared with post-offer period. Both the results taken together reinforce that post-issue earnings performance is a derivation of issue year earnings management in India.

The objectives of this research is to examine the effect of qualitative and quantitative factors to underpricing ( Y1 ), long-run underperformance ( Y2 ), and underpricing effect to long-run underperformance ( Y3 ) with ROA, DER, ROE, Age, Size, Underwriter Reputation, Auditor Reputation and Gross Proceeds as independent variables. Initial Public Offerings ( IPO ) is one of alternatives for companies to get fund from external sources in fulfilling it needs. Three phenomenons related with IPO’s are underpricing, hot-issue market and long-run underperformance. The most frequently happened phenomenon is underpricing which is a phenomenons marked by lower offering price compared to 1st day closing price. The second phenomenon, hot-issue market, is marked by abnormal higher IPO’s frequency, high abnormal underpricing rate, and stock’s oversubscription. Under this condition  investors become more optimist and become an advantage for companies to get external funds through IPO’s, but in secondary market stock price will be corrected naturally and it’s long term performance oftenly worst than non-IPO’s company. This is what so called as long-run underperformance. This study use underpriced IPO’s stocks in Bursa Efek Indonesia for period 2012 to 2015 as sample and use e-views 7 to analyze it. The result shows that only DER don’t have effect significant to Y1, only Auditor Reputation and Gross Proceeds variables don’t have significant effect to Y2 and finally  Y1 have significant effect to Y3. R-squared shows for Y1,Y2 and Y3 indicates that still many independent variables gives significant effects to Y1 and Y2.

The present article aims to examine the impact of underwriter reputation on underpricing and long-run returns of small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) initial public offerings (IPOs) over a 12-month period in an emerging country like India on a sample of 403 IPOs issued from 2012 to 2018 and subsequently listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) small and medium enterprise (SME) platform and National Stock Exchange (NSE) EMERGE. However, the migration of 27 SME IPO companies to main platform has resulted in reduced sample size of 376 IPOs for measuring long-run performance. The current study has utilized ordinary least square regression technique to investigate the concerned relationship. The robustness of the findings has been further ensured by checking for endogeneity bias using two-stage least square regression (2SLS). The results unveil that while underwriter reputation positively influences underpricing of SME IPOs, it has no significant impact on their long-run performance. This analysis may provide some meaningful information for policymakers responsible for reforms of Indian equity market. For SME issuers, the findings may provide some insights on the importance of hiring reputed underwriters in IPO process. The results may further assist the investors in improving their equity valuation and taking informed investment decisions.
