Purpose—The motive of this study is to examine the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and to investigate the influence of its introduction on earning management in the companies (registered as public listed companies) of Malaysia, as the idea of IFRS is to make the statements of the companies more transparent and comparable. Design/Methodology/Approach—100 firms listed on Bursa Malaysia (Stock exchange) were taken for the sampling of data and were investigated to examine the quality of accounting information. In this study, the motive was to evaluate and measure the Earning Management Score (EMS) with respect to the context of Malaysian listed companies. It is based upon cross-sectional study which was introduced by Kothari et al. (2005) and later modified by Jones. The discretionary accruals in this study are evaluated on the basis of the historical estimations of the industry. Findings—The findings of this research suggests that IFRS influences the recognition of the losses in financial statements which depends upon the disclosure requirements and also the relevance of the financial data. Research Limitations/Implications—Every research is bounded by certain limitations. Similarly, in this study there were also few limitations encountered. Firstly, this study covers only one aspect of IFRS which is observance of the intensity of Earning Management, Therefore the conclusion is drawn towards that respective aspect only. Also, the EM (Earning management) is not only and always apprehended via the accrual models, so in future reference other models can be used as well. Finally, this study was based on cross-sectional approach which assumes that all the firms in the industry tend to have same accruals. Whereas, in reality companies differ from each other in structure, characteristically and in all aspects.

This research investigates the relationship between corporate governance and preference of earnings management selected by Indonesian banking controlling shareholders. This study uses all banks listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2006 until 2011 as samples. The result shows higher real earning managements and lower accruals discretionary in family-controlled banks and private institution compared to government-controlled banks. Government-controlled banks prefer accrual-based earnings management and real activity-based earnings management through operating cash flow. In the other hand, family-controlled banks and private institutions prefer real earnings management through interest expense and discretionary expenses. Foreign-controlled- banks choose earnings management through discretionary expenses. The implementation of corporate governance in Indonesia banking is high and giving negative impacts both to accrual and real-based earnings management. Concentrated ownership gives positive influences toward the accrual earning management and real earning management through discretionary expenses. The bank size has a positive and significant influence on accrual earnings management, yet its effect is negative and significant on real earning management through interest expenses. The findings contribute to the development of financial accounting literatures because there are small numbers of previous research on accrual discretionary on family-owned companies. Company does not indicate the increase of earnings quality, but it is indeed indicating that controlling family pays more attention on choosing the real activity-based earnings management to cover the expropriation. Accrual discretionary-based earnings management is intra-period reversely thus it cannot cover the permanent expropriation of controlling owners. The research also contributes to the studies of real-based earnings management measurement in banking system which has not been become a concern of research on previous studies.
