Accrual management can be measured in three ways; a) aggregate accruals method, b) studies based on specific accruals, and c) studies based on the distribution of earnings after management. For real earnings management the models developed by RoyChowdhury (2006) to detect; the reduction of discretionary expenditure, sales manipulation by accelerating the timing of sales through price discounts or more lenient credit terms, and overproduction to cut prices or to decrease COGS (Cost of Goods Sold), are mentioned.

Additionally the motives behind the earnings management are mentioned briefly by giving reference to the studies in the literature.
