Real earnings management is profit management through real activities of the company. Real earnings management is done by using three approaches, namely abnormal operations cash flow (Abn. CFO), abnormal production costs Abn. PROD), and abnormal discretionary expenses (abn DISCR). Abnormal values measured from the activity of the activities of each deviation between the actual value and the value of the activity expected activity. From the results of research on the company that is indexed in JII shows that real earnings management is performed through three approaches with different trends in each year. This is evidenced in 2008 real earnings management tends to be done through Abn DISC, 2009 through Abn approach CFO and 2010 through Abn PROD. Keywords: Abnormal CFO, Abnormal PROD, Abnormal   DISCR.JII Index.

This research investigates the consequence of earnings management by analyzing stock price reaction to the full set financial statement in 2008 which can be used by investors to detect earnings management by the firms. This research investigated two forms of earnings management (accrual and real earnings management). The samples is drawn from firms in IDX Statistic 2008 which categorized as active in frequency, value or volume. The method of analysis of this research used multi regression. The results show (1) discretionary accrual had negative significant influence to abnormal return, (2) abnormal cash flow from operation had negative significant influence to abnormal return. The results implicate that the investors are aware of the accrual earnings management (discretionary accrual) and real earnings management (abnormal cash flow) components in the earnings reported by the firms and they react negative to this components.

The paper researches if decision-making behavior of analysts coverage can influence the earnings management of companies. The study selected 3727 samples and used SPSS software regression technology. The results indicate that a higher level of analysts coverage is related to lower accrual earnings management and real earnings management,which suggests that analysts have supervisory function to companies and can play an efficient external governance role to investor protection.The results also indicates that the larger companies eager to adopt real earnings management whereas the smaller companies would like to use accrual earnings management, and the enterprises with higher cash flow volatility are eager to adopt earnings management due to unstable operation .

We examine earnings manipulation via discretionary accruals and real earnings management prior to the release of cash reserves back to shareholders. Previous research indicates that firms manage earnings upward when they increase dividends, creating a coordinated signal to the market. We study earnings management surrounding dividend initiation to determine whether management is manipulating earnings downward to avoid the discipline imposed by dividends in the years ahead or whether they are signaling to the market. We suggest that the aim of earnings management is not to reduce earnings but that earnings are more likely managed to preserve financial flexibility, create earnings reserves, and postpone shareholders’ expectations for initiating recurring dividends. Rather than signaling with upward earnings management, we find that dividend initiating firms manage earnings downward, consistent with the free cash flow theory. Our results explain findings in prior literature for the surprisingly stable earnings performance and accrual quality in the period just after dividend initiation. Furthermore, the market day stock price reaction is inversely related to earnings management, contradicting the purpose of signaling. We provide evidence that the managerial inertia for initiating dividends represents unique agency concerns compared with an increase in existing dividend payout and to the extent that downward real earnings management does not reverse, we identify a cost to shareholders for the quasi contract of recurring dividend payout.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the level financial statement disclosure on earnings management and audit quality in moderating this study. The sample of this study was from LQ45 companies, especially in manufacturing as many as 9 companies with an observation period of 5 years (2012-2016). This study provided empirical evidence that a negative influence between the level of disclosure of financial statements and real earnings management used production costs. But with the proxies of operational cash flow and discretionary costs produce provided a positive relationship. The results of the moderation regression test with production costs as proxy of earnings management provided that audit quality can strengthen the negative effect of the financial disclosure level on earnings management. Other results indicate that audit quality can strengthen the positive influence of the financial disclosure level on earnings management with a proxy for operational cash flows and discretionary costs. The Managerial implications of research was that auditors can examine other factors besides operational cash flow and discretionary costs in carrying out judgment on earnings management practices in the company.

Purpose This study aims to examine the impact of political stability and political rights on firm-level earnings (both accrual-based and real) management. Design/methodology/approach The authors develop models that link political stability, political rights, and the interplay between the two and earnings (both accrual-based and real) management. The authors analyze 63,872 firm-year observations of publicly listed, non-financial, firms drawn from 39 countries, for the period 1995 to 2016. Findings The authors find that political stability (political rights) attenuates (accentuates) accrual-based earnings management; political rights (political stability) accentuates (have no effect on) real earnings management; and the association between political rights and real earnings management is more pronounced in countries with better political stability. Practical implications The findings imply that users of financial statements should take cognizance of a country’s ambient political environment in assessing the potential for earnings management by firms. Originality/value No prior research examined the role of political forces in shaping firm-level earnings management behavior in a cross-country setting.

The timeframe of this study is two years, before the implementation of IFRS in 2011 and after the implementation of IFRS in 2013. The population of this study is manufacturing companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange. From the existing 179 companies, 92 companies were selected according to the criteria of the sampling method and then determined as the subjects of the study. The data were secondary data obtained in the form of ready-made (provided) through publications and infor-mation issued by various organizations or public companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange. The focus of this study is to examine the differences in the real earnings management with the measurement of cash flow operation before and after the implementation of IFRS. Roychowdhury (2006) stated that the indication of real earnings management is the interval between -0.075 and 0.075. The results show that there is no difference between real earnings management with the measurement of cash flow operation before the implementation of IFRS and real earnings man-agement with the measurement of cash flow operation after the implementation of IFRS.

Purpose We examine whether the fraud firms are engaged in real earnings management and accrual earnings management prior to the fraud year in the Malaysian context. Design/methodology/approach Our sample comprises of 65 financial statement fraud and 65 non-fraud firms over a period of eight years from 2001 to 2008. Findings Using the abnormal cash flow from operations (CFO) and abnormal production costs as the proxies for real earnings management, we find that financial statement fraud firms engage in manipulating production costs during preceding two years of the fraud event. However, our results show that financial fraud firms engage in manipulating CFO prior to the fraud event. Additionally, we find that financial statement fraud firms prefer to manipulate earnings using accruals relative to real earnings prior to the fraud year. Originality/value Our results demonstrate that real earnings management is more aggressive in financial statement fraud firms compared to the non-fraud firms in the four years prior to fraud.
