IFRS adoption and Earnings Management

Abstract This study investigates the relationship between IFRS adoption and earnings management EM proxy by real earnings management REM in developing economy like Nigeria. Further, the study examined the relationship between corporate governance and EM as well as the moderating role of CG on the relationship between IFRS adoption and EM. The study employed 8 Oil and gas firms quoted on the Nigerian stock exchange for 14 years over two time period of pre 2006/2012 and post 2013/2019 adoption of IFRS. Underpinning theory of the study is the agency theory which explained the relationship amongst variables. The study interpreted the fixed effect robust regression in a balanced panel data. The results showed that IFRS had a positive and significant effect on EM, but COG had a positive but insignificant effect on EM, while the interaction between IFRS and CG both had a significant positive relationship with EM. Moreover, it is documented that the COG strength significantly moderates the relationship between IFRS and REM. This implies that the presence of good COG may help to attain the objectives of IFRS adoption. The policy implication of this is that Oil and gas firms should strengthen their Corporate Governance practice to mitigate earnings management whilst ensuring that management s application of IFRS in financial reporting is devoid of deliberate attempt to manage earnings. The study recommends amongst others that boards of directors, standard setters and government regulatory agencies should pay attention to the specific and general impact of the twin effect of IFRS and corporate governance as it relates to EM. To the best of the researcher s knowledge, this is one of the first empirical attempts at providing evidence about the role of CG on the relationship between IFRS adoption and EM in Nigeria
