Journal Title: Muhasebe ve Finansman Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 71
Abstract
This study investigates professional accountants' perspectives in terms of earnings management practices in Turkey. In this context, a survey application was administered to professional accountants in Aydın, İzmir, and Malatya. The results reveal that 71% of the participants believe SMEs apply both profit-reducing and profit-increasing earnings management techniques in Turkey. Among the most referenced reasons in the literature for earnings management; reducing tax expenses, reducing debt costs, and attracting investors are determined as three most important reasons for SMEs to apply earnings management techniques.
