The approach used in this thesis is quantitative in nature. Four well-known discretionary accruals models: Healy model, DeAngelo model, Jones model and modified Jones are used in to separate discretionary accruals from the...
متن کاملEstimation Sample Selection for Discretionary Accruals Models
We examine how the criteria for choosing estimation samples (peer firms) affect the ability to detect discretionary accruals, using several variants of the Jones (1991) model. Researchers commonly estimate accruals models in cross-section, and define the estimation sample as all firms in the same industry. We examine whether firm size performs at least as well as industry membership as the crit...
متن کاملPeer Firm Selection for Discretionary Accruals Models
Taking as given the discretionary accruals models that exist in the literature, we examine how the selection of peer firms affects the researcher’s ability to detect earnings management. Researchers commonly estimate accruals models in cross section, and define the peer set (the firms used to estimate the cross section) as all firms in the same industry. We challenge this view by examining whet...
متن کاملDo CEOs and Principal Financial Officers Take a "Bath" Separately or Together?: An Investigation of Discretionary Accruals Surrounding Appointments of New CEOs and PFOs

The underlying assumption with the Jones model is that earnings are managed through accounting accruals. Typically, the companies for which earnings management is studied are grouped based on their industries. It is thus ...
