| Abstract: | This study deals with the issue whether the apparent impact of governance (here as: gov.) structure and incentive-based compensation (hereafter as: comp.) on firm performance (as: perf.) stands up when measured perf. is adjusted for the effects of earnings management (here as: e-mgmt). Institutional (here as: inst.) ownership of shares, inst. investor representation on the board of directors (as: dirs.), and the presence of independent outside dirs. on the board reduce the usage of discretionary accruals. These factors largely offset the option comp. impact, which strongly encourages e-mgmt. Adjusting for the impact of e-mgmt. substantially increases the measured importance of gov. variables and dramatically decreases the impact of incentive-based comp. on corporate performance. |
