Cover Story: Earnings management techniques aid businesses in enhancing their financial performance. Research outputs indicate that income increasing earnings management practices are typical of small enterprises with a public limited ownership structure and mostly in sectors R and M (NACE classification). Conservative (income decreasing) practices can be observed in enterprises in the sectors J or F and are also used by medium-sized enterprises and those with a private limited ownership structure. The results revealed that large enterprises do not tend to manipulate their earnings as well as enterprises operating in sector K. The insights of this study may provide useful information for shareholders and regulators in evaluating determinants that are effective in mitigating earnings management practices. View this paper
