This study aims to test and analyze the impact of accrual earnings management and real earnings management on firm value empirically. Also, audit quality's role on the effect of accrual earnings management and total earnings management on firm value. The analytical method used is Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). This research's population is manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2013 to 2017. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. This study found that accrual earnings management, which is proxied by discretionary accruals, positively affects firm value. Real earnings management has a negative effect on firm value. Audit quality cannot weaken the effect of accrual earnings management on firm value. However, audit quality weakens the effect of real earnings management on firm value.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to look at the direct relationship between audit quality, earnings management (EM) practices and company performance, as well as the indirect influence (mediation) of EM practices in the relationship between audit quality and company performance. It offers empirical evidence from the Jordanian market, which is considered an emerging market. Design/methodology/approach The population of this study is represented in Jordanian service companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE), with a total of 344 company-year observations. Furthermore, panel data analysis was used in this study, and data for the study were acquired from yearly reports as well as the ASE’s database. Findings Based on generalized method of moments model, the present findings demonstrate that the size of the audit firm and the tenure of the audit firm have a positive and negative influence on EM practices, respectively, but that industry-specialist audit firm has a negative and insignificant effect. EM practices have a negative impact on two company performance proxies (ROA and ROE), but have no effect on earnings per share (EPS). Furthermore, the size of the audit firm has a positive and significant influence on the performance proxies of the company [i.e. return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE)]. The presence of an industry-specialist audit firm has a positive and significant influence on two proxies of company performance (ROE and EPS), but a negative and significant impact on ROA. An audit firm’s tenure has a negative and significant impact on two performance proxies (ROA and EPS), but a positive and significant impact on ROE. Then, EM practices either fully or partially mediate the relationship between audit quality proxies and company performance as assessed by ROA, ROE and EPS. Research limitations/implications The current study’s limitation is that it only searched in Jordanian service companies listed on ASE from 2012 to 2019 to meet the study’s objectives; thus, the authors recommend that future work investigate the study model for other sectors, whether in Jordan or other emerging markets such as the Middle East and North Africa. Another limitation of this study is that the study models lack important variables, which may affect EM and company performance, such as corporate governance and ownership structure characteristics; as a result, the authors recommend that future work includes such variables in future research models to have more explanations in this context. Practical implications Analysts, investors and other strategic decision makers may use the findings of this study to improve the efficiency and efficacy of Jordan’s financial market. These findings will enhance policymakers’ willingness to establish appropriate regulations, which might improve Jordan’s financial market performance and efficacy. These findings may help investors make better judgments by using audit quality proxies and EM indicators, which can forecast business success. Originality/value First, this study distinguishes itself from prior studies through establishing a new research model, by investigating the mediating effect of EM in the relationship between audit quality and company performance. It provides empirical evidence from the Jordanian market; hence, it increases the body of the knowledge in this context. Second, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to look into the link between audit quality, EM and company performance together; hence, the model of this study is developed using agency theory and information asymmetry theory. Third, the current study adds new evidence to the role of audit quality and EM in companies, as well as how audit quality and EM practices affect company performance in emerging markets such as Jordan.

The company's profit can be one of the factors that can determine an investor's decision to make an investment. The company's large and growing profits will surely be attractive to investors. However, the profit reported by the company does not necessarily guarantee that the reported information is the actual condition of the company. Companies can do earnings management resulting from gaps in information between company management and external parties. One of the activities that can be used as an earnings management tool is RPT. This study aims to determine whether RPT is positively related to real earnings management or accrual earnings management on manufacturing companies in Indonesia during the period between 2017-2019 that have been listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results showed that RPT has no significant effect on real earnings management or accrual earnings management. These results indicate that RPT is used not for earnings management purposes but as an efficient transaction. There are also other factors that influence earnings management such as audit quality and the number of directors.

SYNOPSIS We examine whether firms resort to real earnings management when their ability to manage accruals is constrained by higher quality auditors. In settings involving strong upward earnings management incentives, i.e., for firms that meet or just beat earnings benchmarks and firms that issue seasoned equities, we find that city-level auditor industry expertise and audit fees are associated with higher levels of real earnings management. We find similar, albeit weaker, results for the Big N auditors. Our paper suggests an unintended consequence of higher quality auditors constraining accrual earnings management, namely, firms resorting to potentially even more costly real earnings management. We also find that longer auditor tenure is associated with greater real earnings management, which could suggest merits of mandating audit firm rotation. JEL Classifications: M40; M41.

This study examines the impact of audit quality on Real Earnings Management (REM). Real earnings management is defined as management actions that deviate from normal business practices, undertaken withthe primary objective of meeting certain earnings thresholds (Roychowdhury, 2006). One proxy is taken for real earnings management, while abnormal operating cash flows and proxy for audit quality are taken as the size of audit firm. Research samples are selected from the population of manufacturing companies listed in Bursa Efek Indonesia from year 2007 to 2011. Sample criteria is companies which have strong incentive to engage in real earnings management and 126 companies are selected. Multiple Regression Model has been applied for data analysis. It is found that impact of audit quality on real earnings management is positive. This result concludes that audit quality is not a warranty that a company’s financial statement is free from earnings management.Keywords: audit quality, earnings management, real earnings management, abnormal cash flow operation.
