Corporations pass every stage of their life cycles through different ways. At each point of these stages a company has the possibility to turn into decline. When this occurs, a company has the incentive to manage earnings in order to maintain its performance reflected in reported earnings. The objective of this study is to examine whether earnings management choices are different in corporate life cycles from growth to mature and mature to stagnant. The differences in earning management behaviour were indicated by negative and positive discretionary accruals. The sample was taken from manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2006 to 2013) in different life stages. The results show that firms in growth-mature and mature-stagnant did manage earnings through discretionary accruals, as indicated by significant differences as compared to those in other corporate life cycles.

This study investigates discretionary earnings management practices, tracing the changes over the years in selected top performing and highly liquid listed Indian firms. It empirically measures the impact of corporate governance, financial legislation and global reporting standards on the firms’ earnings management practices. The study analyses a sample of 712 firm-year data comprising 89 listed Indian companies across 7 different sectoral indices of the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) over 8 years (2011–2018). The Modified Jones model was used to compute Discretionary Accruals to measure Earnings Management based on data obtained using Bloomberg terminals. Statistical results and plots generated in Stata offer evidence that instances of earnings management have significantly reduced after the enactment of the Companies Act 2013 and the adoption of Indian Accounting standards which are converged with the IFRS. Findings suggest that services firms are engaging in relatively higher levels of earnings management compared to manufacturing firms. This study reveals the positive impact of improved corporate governance, regulation, and enforcement by significantly reducing the levels of earnings management among listed firms in India.

Earnings management is still an interesting focus of research from year to year. Research does not only focus on conventionally based entities but also moves to Sharia entities. This study aims to investigate the effect of firm value and financial performance on earning management. From the 20 sharia issuers that were successfully analyzed as samples, we found that, in general, there is no strong evidence that Islamic issuers practice earnings management, this can be seen from the positive average discretionary accruals. Referring to the discussion of the influence of firm value as measured by Tobin’s Q on the practice of earnings management, it was concluded that firm value had a significant effect on earnings management practices. This research has two contributions. Firstly this research is expected to contribute to market-based accounting research. Secondly, this study provides evidence of earnings management practices for Islamic entities.

Earnings management is a manager's choice to choose accounting policies or real actions to achieve certain earnings goals. This study aims to examine the effect of the gender financial expertise of the audit committee on earnings management practices. This study uses 852 samples of non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2016-2018 by using multiple linear regression analysis with classical assumption testing. The result of this study is the indication that committee audit financial expertise (EXPERT), proportion of the number of women on the audit committee (ACFD), and proportion of female financial experts on the audit committee (FEMEX) do not have a significant influence on earnings management as measured by using discretionary accruals. On the contrary, the proportion of male financial experts on the audit committee (MALEX), has a significant positive effect on earnings management. This shows that the presence of financial expertise that affects earnings management has been influenced by the sex of male financial experts. This research is in accordance with the theory that reveals that there are different effects with the existence of gender differences in a company.

The study is about the moderating effect of audit quality on the relationship between earning management and dividend policy in manufacturing sector of Pakistan. Firms listed in Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSE) have been considered to investigate the effect of earnings management on dividend policy from 2010 to 2016 in Pakistan. The dividend policy is calculated by dividend payout ratio whereas the discretionary accruals have been used for the measurement of earning management and this is taken as a proxy to estimate the earning management. The modified cross sectional model is adopted to quantity discretionary accruals. From the analysis, it is concluded that earning management has influence on dividend policy which rejects null hypothesis of the study. The regression coefficients explain that the connection is too weak that it is most near to no connection. The reason of this no connection or influence is financial decline time period, as earning management varies annually.

The aim of this study is to examine the question of earnings management and, specifically, how this relates to taxation. In order to determine whether there is a correlation between earnings management and taxation, we investigate the discretionary accruals aspect of total accruals, i.e. the portion of profits which can be affected by management accounting choices, as calculated by the Jones (1991) model and the modified Jones model (Dechow et. al, 1995). Furthermore, we examine to what degree a correlation may exist between discretionary accruals and tax income (consisting of current and deferred tax). Our empirical findings demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between the levels of discretionary accruals and of total, current and deferred tax. This suggests that tax in general may be employed as a means to facilitate earnings management. The findings of this study suggest that IFRS provisions regarding taxation provide firms with a scope to get involved in earning management practices
