- Abstract
- The form and means of corporate earnings management (CEM) have evolved and become ever more sophisticated; however, in substance, CEM remains the misinforming of the users of an organization's financial statements, via the strategic abuse of timing, reorganizing, reclassifying, and/ or omitting of material information. Thus, even though CEM rarely involves outright deception, it is a fundamental breach of trust. As such, CEM is immensely damaging to the primary role of financial statements (i.e., the creation and/ or maintenance of informed trust between organizations and their key stakeholders) .
