DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book has the aim to provide an analysis on the possible reasons that may induce mangers to engage in earnings management in an insider market economy. Despite the recent increase in research by academic, practitioners and the focus from the policy maker, the earnings management phenomenon still remain relatively misunderstood, particularly with reference to the insider system economy. Based on the existing literature, this study analyzes the relationship between earnings management an firm's market value of the Italian listed companies. In contrast to the United States, Italy is a code-law and insider system country. The financial accounting system is characterized by a close overlap with tax accounting systems, which allows me to study the relationship with a different perspective than is possible with U.S. data. Thus, the reasons that may induce Italian managers to engage in earnings mangement may be different from the US ones. The earnings management phenomenon has been studied in both perspectives income-increasing and income-decreasing earnings management.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book analyzes the impacts that family control of firms has on capital structure choices, leverage and the risk of financial distress, earnings management practices, and the relation between accounting choices and firm market value. For these purposes, longitudinal data on Italian family and non-family non-financial firms are closely analyzed. The Italian setting is of special interest in this context because family businesses account for 94% of GDP, families are particularly committed to maintaining control of firms, and the economy is bank based rather than market based. The analyses draw on the socioemotional wealth approach, which emphasizes the importance of the stock of emotional value in family firms, in combination with financial theories such as Pecking Order Theory, Trade-off Theory, and Agency Theory. The findings cast significant new light on differences between family and non-family firms and the effects of different forms of family influence. The book will have broad appeal for academics, managers, practitioners, and policymakers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this paper we analyze the preference for earnings management techniques by the family firms and the impact of the same on the performance of the firm. Family firms contrary to non-family firms are driven by different objectives. Using socio emotional wealth theory, we hypothesize that family firms prefer an earnings management technique, which is less risky in the long term. Using the publicly available data on all the family firms listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), our analysis indicates prevalence both accrual based and real activity earnings management among Indian family firms. However, revenue based real activity earnings management was preferred by those family firms that have exhausted the possibility of accrual based earnings management. Our analysis of the impact of earnings management choice on market value indicates a short-term positive impact of the accrual based earnings management. Revenue based real activity earnings management was found to have long term positive impact but the cost based real activity earnings management had a long term negative impact on the value of the market value of the firm.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis paper seeks to provide an explanation for why corporate officers manage the disclosure of accounting information.

In equilibrium, the strategic management of reported earnings influences investors' assessments of the market values of companies' shares.
