We observe the association amid ownership structure and real earnings management in Bangladesh. Our study takes 2195 firm-year observations which are listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange over the period of 2000-2017. The outcome of the panel least square regression indicates that inside ownership, as well as foreign ownership, is inversely related to real earnings management, whereas institutional ownership is positively related to real earnings management. In particular, firms tend to reduce discretionary expenses to manage earnings if the magnitude of inside ownership is low. In contrast to that, when firms are characterized by more institutional ownership, they are more inclined towards real earnings management through additional price discounts, offering a more friendly credit facility, and lowering discretionary expense. This result is consistent with previous findings. Nevertheless, if firms encounter an absence of foreign ownership, they prefer to manage earnings through operating at over-production levels as well as lowering discretionary expenses. Additionally, we find that corporate governance is playing a beneficial role in limiting real earnings management

The purpose of this study was to determinate the effect of firm size and ownership structure such as manajerial ownership, institutional ownership and foreign ownership towards intellectual capital performance. The method of this study is quantitative. The population in this study was banking sector company in Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015 until 2017.The sample of this study determined by purposive sampling. Data analysis techniquefor hypothesis testing using multiple regression analysis. The result of this research showed that ownership structure such as manajerial ownership, institutional ownership and foreign ownership have no significant effect while firm size has positive and significant effect to intelectual capital performance. This happens because the proportion of manajerial ownership is low and the institution investor more focused on maximizing profit as short term goals so institution investor seing IC as charges rather than expenses of investment-generating future economic benefit.Based on the results oh this study,  it can be suggested that: (1) Company should increase their asset in regard to increase the firm size so company had more financial funding to manage their IC performance and create more value added, and (2) For further researcher, it is suggested to increase the number of sample companies, add other variables and use other proxy in subsequent research.Keywords: Foreign ownership; Intellectual capital performance; Institutiona ownership; Managerial ownership
