| Tiivistelmä: | It is examined in this paper whether the incidence of earnings management by U.K. firms depends on board monitoring (here as: b-mng). It is focused on two aspects of b-mng: the role of outside board members and the audit committee. Results indicate among others that the likelihood of managers making income-increasing abnormal accruals to avoid reporting losses and earnings reductions is negatively related to the proportion of outsiders on the board. |
