Abstract: | The role of accounting policies, and their audit is emphazised in an earnings management setting. The study employs a two-period agency in which three frictions interact: 1) the agent privately observes action (or effort) supply and output and 2) the initial contract is subject to renegotiation. This creates a setting in which both players' behaviour is of concern, and, importantly, information rationing is efficient. |
