Earnings management: Who do managers consider and what is the relative importance of ethics?
Using responses from Australian CFOs and CEOs to a case-based survey and interviews, we provide insights into managers’ earnings management (EM) decisions. Ethics has the greatest explanatory power for our participants’ EM assessments. Ethical concerns about EM deter EM, but surprisingly, ethical concerns about not managing earnings and missing market expectations motivate EM. The primary economic motivation for EM is shielding current shareholders from the short-term costs of missing market expectations. We find considerable heterogeneity regarding the extent to which CFOs and CEOs believe EM is lying. Finally, CFOs and CEOs believe that each are significantly involved in initiating EM. M40, M41, M48
期刊介绍:
The objectives of the Australian Journal of Management are to encourage and publish research in the field of management. The terms management and research are both broadly defined. The former includes the management of firms, groups, industries, regulatory bodies, government, and other institutions. The latter encompasses both discipline- and problem-based research. Consistent with the policy, the Australian Journal of Management publishes research in accounting, applied economics, finance, industrial relations, political science, psychology, statistics, and other disciplines, provided the application is to management, as well as research in areas such as marketing, corporate strategy, operations management, organisation development, decision analysis, and other problem-focuses paradigms.
