  • Description: This study investigates whether earnings management motivated by opportunistic behavior or efficient contracting, for this purpose we examine a relationship between discretionary accruals and future profitability. Based on the explanatory power (adjusted R2), one of models exist in literature is selected to decompose total accruals into discretionary and non-discretionary-accrual components. We measure future profitability by use of each of three variables include one-year-ahead cash flows from operation, non-discretionary net income and change in earnings. Using multiple regressions, we find evidence that the type of earnings management selected by TSE listed firms tends toward efficient earnings management.
