The Effect of Other Comprehensive Income Reporting on Accruals-based Earnings Management Activities

Abstract

This study examines the impact of other comprehensive income reporting in mitigating earnings management by using discretionary accruals for a sample of 83 industrial WSE-listed companies over the period of 2009–2016. We apply a panel least square model using year fixed-effects regression. We find that other comprehensive income reporting diminishes the extent of managerial earnings activities. Our findings suggest that a comprehensive income statement may have significant and positive implications for preventing aggressive accounting and helps users of financial statements identify earnings management better.
