This study aims to prove the effect of the company's status, i.e membership on the Islamic capital market and the status as suspect firm, as a determinant of real earnings management (REM). REM is conducted by abnormally increasing sales, increasing production and reducing discretionary costs in order to achieve a certain earnings target. This study uses Earnings Distribution Analysis (EDA) technique, which refers to the Prospect Theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979) to identify the suspect firms. Suspect firms are companies that have small positive earnings. The samples of this research are companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2011 and 2012. Based on the result of regression analysis, hypothesis testing results show that the suspect firms conduct real earnings management in all three types of activities more aggressively than the non-suspect firms. Furthermore, this study also showed empirical evidence that there are differences in real earnings management actions between companies listed in the Islamic capital market compared to conventional capital markets. Then, this study also showed that the Islamic capital market is more appropriate in response to the REM than the conventional capital market.

Abstract Research background: The literature on the subject matter emphasizes the lack of empirical research on the relationships between accrual-based earnings management (AEM) and real earnings management (REM), while studies conducted so far are characterized by highly ambiguous results. Purpose: The main aim of the paper is to present the results of empirical research on the relationships between the AEM and REM practices used to create financial results in industrial public companies listed on the WSE. Research methodology: The research sample concerns 72 listed companies whose shares were traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) for a minimum 13 years in the adopted reference period of 2003–2017. The estimation of AEM and REM practices was made by using: the Jones model, the Kang-Sivaramakrishnan model and the Roychowdhury methodology. Results: The empirical results allowed showing the existence of a statistically significant, negative relationship between discretionary accruals and the abnormal level of an operational cash flow indicator, as well as between discretionary accruals and the total REM indicator. An in-depth cross-sectional analysis showed the existence of significantly differentiated relationships between the studied variables in individual branches of industry. Novelty: Research on the relationship between AEM and REM practices in the context of the Polish capital market has not been carried out so far, hence it can be considered a new research area in which there is a justified need to deepen theoretical and empirical research on the EM phenomenon.

This study explores the effect of the board of directors’ characteristics on real earnings management in Jordanian non-financial companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. The sample size is 131 companies during the period of 2015–2017. The study uses a board of directors’ size, board members’ independence, board members’ financial experience, number of board meetings, membership in more than one board, and the ownership of board members of company shares to represent the board of directors’ characteristics. Real earnings management is measured using the Roychowdhury model (2006). A multiple regression analysis (panel data) is used to investigate the effect of the board of directors’ characteristics on real earnings management. The study found a negative and statistically significant impact for both: board members’ independence and board members’ financial experience on earnings management through real activities against the previous studies’ findings, this research measured the impact of real activities. On the other hand, the study did not find any statistically significant effect of the additional earnings management variables through actual activities

This paper investigates the effects of the lagged real earnings management on the firms’ future profitability using a panel dataset (for the years 2012–2017) from the Jordanian industrial companies listed in the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). We follow Roychowdhury (2006) to measure real earnings management using two proxies: abnormal sales (REMS) and abnormal production (REMP) in the regression analysis. Our findings reveal that real earnings management through abnormal sales has an insignificant effect on the firms’ future profitability. However, we document evidence that firms’ future profitability is adversely and significantly affected by real earnings management through abnormal production. We contribute to the ongoing debate in the literature of real earnings management and its ramifications on firms’ profitability, specifically in the context of developing countries. This research provides implications for policymakers, investors and managers regarding the potential consequences of channel stuffing practices at the different stages of the supply chain on the firm’s future profitability. Future research is suggested to focus on how real earnings management can possibly disrupt supply chains.

Abstract.  This study aims to determine whether good corporate governance is able to strengthen/weaken the influence of information asymmetry on earnings management. Data collection uses secondary data obtained from financial statements using saturated sampling techniques. The population is all companies listed on the LQ 45 Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) of 45 companies, and all companies are used as samples. The results of this study have tested classic assumptions and data analysis methods using multiple linear regression techniques and moderating regression analysis (MRA).The results show that information asymmetry has no significant positive effect on earnings management, which means that earnings management is no longer determined by information asymmetry but is determined by other factors. While the variable of good corporate governance showed significant negative results. This means that good corporate governance can weaken or reduce the effect of information asymmetry on earnings management. So with the decline in information asymmetry in the company, earnings management actions also decline. Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah good corporate governance mampu memperkuat / memperlemah pengaruh asimetri informasi terhadap manajemen laba. Pengumpulan data menggunakan data sekunder yang diperoleh dari laporan keuangan dengan menggunakan teknik sampling jenu. Populasinya adalah semua perusahaan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek LQ 45 Indonesia (IDX) yang berjumlah 45 perusahaan, dan semua perusahaan digunakan sebagai sampel. Hasil penelitian ini telah diuji asumsi klasik dan metode analisis data menggunakan teknik regresi linier berganda dan moderating regression analysis (MRA).Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa asimetri informasi berpengaruh positif tidak signifikan terhadap manajemen laba, yang berarti bahwa manajemen laba tidak lagi ditentukan oleh asimetri  informasi tetapi ditentukan oleh faktor lain. Sedangkan variabel good corporate governance menunjukkan hasil negatif signifikan. Ini berarti bahwa good corporate governance mampu melemahkan atau menurunkan pengaruh asimetri informasi pada manajemen laba. Jadi dengan menurunnya asimetri informasi dalam perusahaan maka tindakan manajemen laba ikut menurun.Keywords: Information Asymmetry, Profit Management, Good Corporate Governance.

The purpose of this study is to verify IFRS contribution by examining the presence of Accrual Earnings Management (AEM) and Real Earnings Management (REM) in the period pre- and post- IFRS implementation in manufacturing companies in Indonesia. AEM is measured by absolute value of discretionary accrual, while REM is proxied by three measurements of REM, they are abnormal cash flow operation, abnormal production and abnormal discretionary expenses. The sample is taken from Indonesia stock exchange in 2009-2011 and 2013-2015. 2012 is Indonesia adoption period and it is excluded from the sample, because it is considerated as transitory year. This study uses regression analysis and Paired t-test to compare the presence of AEM and REM preceding and following IFRS implementation. The findings reveal that IFRS adoption has significantly negative effect towards AEM and REM. It indicates that the following IFRS implementation, AEM and REM are decrease. Therefore, IFRS is able to reduce earnings management practices in manufacturing companies in Indonesia both for AEM and REM.
