摘要：
Extant studies focus on examining the developed capital markets and reveal mixed results for the association between real activities versus accruals-based earnings management. This study establishes a set of simultaneous equations that captures managers' behaviors to boost (or suppress) earnings performance to examine whether real activities and discretionary accruals play mutually complement roles in earnings reporting in Taiwan. The two-stage least squares regressions results reveal that the real activities manipulation comprehensive measure is positively associated with discretionary accruals and supports the complement hypothesis. It suggests that managers jointly and simultaneously use these two tools in strategic earnings reporting decisions.
