The action raises earnings management accounting reporting scandal in the business world. Research on management of profit made by the CEO at the beginning of the year working period and at the end of his tenure is comprehensive regarding the CEO incentive to undertake earnings management. Several previous studies have focused on the accrual-based earnings management techniques. But in this study earnings management is also measured by the real earnings management to get more comprehensive results. This study predicts that the CEO in the early years of operation will increase the earnings management earnings (income-increasing) which can be explained by the theory of career concerns.

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

<p><em><span style="font-size: small;">The improvement of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) may narrow the chance of discretionary accrual earnings management. As a result, there will be changes in the behavior of earnings management from accrual to real earnings management.
