This study examines the influence of earnings management on the value relevance of earnings, that is, the value relevance of level and changes of earnings. The sample consists of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), comprising 606 observations. By using panel data regression, this study provides evidence that the level of earnings has no value relevance; conversely, changes in earnings have value relevance, indicating that earnings have less value relevance. Furthermore, the results of the relevance test of earnings value with the presence of earnings management show that the relevance of the value of the earnings level increases with the presence of earnings management; on the contrary, the relevance of earnings changes decreases with the presence of earnings management. Based on the value of earnings response coefficient, the impact of earnings management on the value relevance of level and changes of earnings appears to indicate that earnings management reduces the value relevance of earnings.

This research objective is to axamine empirically the influence of earnings management on earnings quality. The study motivated by the controversy of previous study about earnings management and earnings quality. Earnings management was measured by Discretionary Accrual and earnings quality was measured by Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC). The units were 128 (16x8) Quartal financial report in manufacturing companies listed in the Jakarta Stock Exchange, started from the year 2005 up to 2006. The data was collected using purposive sampling method. Statistical method used to test the hypotheses was multiple regressions. The result of the research showed that: the influence of earnings management on earnings quality was negative, sig 0.049. It means that the lower earnings management will be followed by higher earnings quality. This study supported the result of Fetham and Pae (2000), Nelson et al. (2000), Scott (2000), Lobo and Zhou (2001), also Teixeira (2002), Pudjiastuti (2006).

Purpose This paper aims to examine the association between earnings management and the value relevance of earnings (the latter is operationalized by earnings response coefficient). Specifically, this study examines whether opportunistic earnings management has a negative impact on the value relevance of earnings for a sample of firms listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange. Design/methodology/approach Different from prior work and due to data limitations in the Egyptian market, this paper first examines for the existence of earnings management based on the whole operating performances of the firms by testing whether firms with low/poor operating performance are more likely to choose income-increasing actions (strategies) than firms with high operating performance. After confirming that low operating performance firms manage earnings upward, the authors then assess whether this opportunistic earnings management by these low operating performance firms reduces the value relevance of earnings. This is performed by estimating a model of the relationship between stock returns and accounting earnings with a dummy variable that allows parameter shifts for earnings of low operating performance firms. Findings The results show that discretionary accruals are positive and significantly higher for firms with low operating performance than those for firms with high operating performance. These results indicate that low operating performance firms increase the earnings management practices by probably increasing their reported earnings opportunistically to mask their low performance. Furthermore, the results show that the earnings response coefficient is significantly smaller for earnings of low operating performance firms than that for earnings of high operating performance firms. These results suggest that earnings of firms with low operating performance (that are engaged in opportunistic earnings management strategies) have less value relevance than earnings of firms with high operating performance, i.e. the informativeness of managed earnings is lower than that of non-managed earnings. Practical implications Based on these results, it is plausible that the presence of opportunistic earnings management adversely affects the value relevance of accounting earnings. Originality/value Consistent with previous results from developed countries, this study shows that earnings management is a significant factor that affects value relevance of earnings in Egypt.

This study aims to prove whether institutional ownership can reduce the impact of earnings management practices on firm value. Earnings management is proxied by accrual management, real activity manipulations based on abnormal production costs and abnormal discretionary expenses. Meanwhile, firm value is proxied by the metrics developed by Rhodes-Kropf et al (2005) which have the advantage of detecting misvaluation. The sample is manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange which have institutional ownership. The research period for 2010-2018 with panel data 410 samples observation. The findings show that institutional ownership can mitigate the effect of earnings management on firm value. Surprisingly, finding is that real activity manipulations based on abnormal discretionary expenses have the potential to destroy firm value. In other words, the market is penalizing the value of the company. These results contribute to the insight that the importance of the role of institutional ownership is to reduce information asymmetry in preventing the destruction of firm value. Furthermore, this finding is a supplement for investors, regulators and researchers in estimating the value relevance and improving the quality of accounting numbers in the context of firm value.

There is an academic discussion about the value relevance of deferred tax, which aims to find out the effect of deferred tax on the investors’ decisions. In light of this discussion, the first question is about the impact of deferred tax on management practices to manipulate earnings, which is called earnings management, the second question is about the value relevance of earnings management, the third question is about the value relevance of deferred tax, and the fourth question is about the mediating effect of earnings management. The paper focuses on listed firms in the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX), especially firms that were recorded in EGX 100, for six-year period (2013–2018) for 107 firms and 642 completed observations. The findings are as follows: management uses deferred tax to manipulate earnings, since an increase in deferred tax amounts increases earnings management practices; there is no value relevance of earnings management, which means earnings management practices do not affect the investors’ decisions; there is value relevance of deferred tax, which confirms that deferred tax is one of the determinants that affect the investors’ decisions; there is no value relevance of deferred tax through earnings management as a mediator variable since investors are not interested in earnings management practices to make their investment decisions. This paper investigates the relationship between deferred tax, earnings management, and value relevance in the Egyptian context.

The objective of this study is to examine whether corporate governance influence the relation between accounting conservatism and Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC). The accounting conservatism proxy used in this research is accruals obtained from differences between net income and cash flow. Sample consists of 31 manufacturing companies that listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange since 2003­2006. Hypotheses are examined by using multiple regressions. The result shows that there is a negative influence of accounting conservatism to Earnings Response Coefficient. Managerial ownership as a moderating variable did not affect the relation between accounting conservatism and Earnings Response Coefficient, but independent board of commissioner composition as a moderating variable affected the relation between accounting conservatism and Earnings Response Coefficient.
