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

This study revisits the effectiveness of the audit committee independence and expertise in preventing earnings management practices.  Studies in other countries that have relatively stricter regulations showed the audit committee independence was effective to prevent earnings management.  Arguably, the practice may be different in Indonesia whose regulation is considerably more lenient.  On the other hand, studies related to audit committee expertise is rarely done in Indonesia.  This study utilized two of the earnings management models namely the Modified Jones Model and the Performance-Adjusted Modified Jones Model.  This study was limited to Indonesian listed manufacturing companies from 2009 to 2011.  Consistent for both earnings management models, the results show that audit committee independence is effective to prevent earnings management.  However, the results showed that audit committee expertise did not affect earnings management practices.  Although only approximately 39 percent of the audit committee members in Indonesian listed manufacturing companies were independent, the existence of those independence members enabled the audit committee to effectively conduct its monitoring role, especially in preventing earnings management.  Nevertheless, accounting and/or financial expertise might not determine the effectiveness of the audit committee’s monitoring role.

This paper studies earnings management in Jordan during the global financial crisis. It addresses mainly the question of whether or not financial crisis has an impact on discretionary accruals, using the modified Jones model (1995) for estimating discretionary accruals. By applying Ordinary Least Squares regression model on a sample of 71 nonfinancial listed firms during the period of 2005-2012, I find a conclusive evidence that Jordanian nonfinancial listed firms did not engage in a greater level of earnings management during the financial crisis period. In addition, larger firms are less involved in earnings management practices compared to smaller firms. Moreover, the results suggest a negative significant impact of operating cash flow on discretionary accruals, while it fails to connect current year losses with discretionary accruals. However, the findings indicate that firm’s leverage is positively and significantly associated with discretionary accruals. Overall, the empirical results provided evidence that earnings management practices in Jordanian nonfinancial sectors are relatively small, even smaller in services sector, which raise questions about the validity of the modified Jones model and whether or not different models (such as Deangelo, 1986) should be used in future studies regarding earnings management.

<p class="Bodytext70">This study aims to provide empirical evidence on earnings management practices on manufacturing companies listed in Indonesian Stock Market before and after IFRS convergence (2007-2011). Accrual earnings management (the level of discretionary accruals) and real earnings management (abnormal cash flow from operation, abnormal production costs, and abnormal discretionary expenses) are observed to analyze earnings management practices. Data was retrieved using the purposive sampling method and tested with paired sample t-test and correlation test. The results empirically showed that there was no difference between accrual earnings management before and after the IFRS convergence. Additionally, real earnings management also showed that there was no difference between before and after the IFRS convergence. Other results also showed that there was no relationship between management interchangeable accrual earnings and real earnings management after convergence of IFRS. The implications of this research provided information to the users of financial statements, especially shareholders and investors to increase the awareness of the opportunities of accrual earnings management and real earnings management through manipulation of the cash flow, sales and production cost by management.</p>

This study aims to examine earnings management practice in the Indonesian companies, before, during, and after the tax amnesty program, and compare it through testing the difference in the absolute value of discretionary accruals before, during, and after the tax amnesty program. To conduct this analysis, this study uses 42 samples of non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2015 to 2018. Data from all company samples are arranged in the form of Discretionary Accruals, Non-Discretionary Accruals, and Absolute Discretionary Accruals. The results indicate that there are earnings management practices before the tax amnesty program, and it is greater during the tax amnesty, and smaller after the tax amnesty. Based on the results of different tests, this study also shows that there are differences in the value of Absolute Discretionary Accruals in the tax amnesty program (AbsPre) and Absolute Discretionary Accruals after the tax amnesty program (AbsPost), so the hypothesis states that there is difference between earnings management before the tax amnesty program and after the tax amnesty program, can be accepted. In addition, the amount of Absolute Discretionary Accruals before the tax amnesty program (AbsPre) which tends to be higher 68.37% or almost 70%, shows that there is a great effort made by the management of the company in order to make the company looks outperformed to the investors.

PurposeThis study analyses the engagement of Greek municipalities in earnings management activities through the manipulation of their accrual accounts. It aims at identifying whether discretionary accruals are associated with certain financial sustainability measures calculated through financial statement numbers.Design/methodology/approachTo test the hypotheses, the annual financial data of Greek municipalities for the period 2011–2018 are used. The final sample corresponds to an unbalanced panel data sample that includes 1,565 yearly observations. Total accruals and discretionary accruals modelling are based both on the aggregate Jones model and the modified Jones model.FindingsThe findings provide evidence that Greek municipalities engage in earnings management practices through the manipulation of accruals. Moreover, there is corroborative evidence that financial sustainability indicators, such as indebtedness, liquidity and efficiency ratios, are related to the magnitude of earnings management, while earnings management behaviour during the year preceding the municipal elections is more intense.Originality/valueThe paper expands the literature in earnings management in local governments by analysing the relation of financial sustainability indicators to this behaviour.
