Research project: Does size matter? A comparative study of earnings management across small, medium, large private and listed companies in the UK
Abstract
The accounting regulation in the United Kingdom (UK) classifies private firms to small, medium, and large private firms and publicly listed companies (PLCs). This thesis investigates the degree of earnings management for small, medium, and large private firms, compared to PLCs in the UK due to distinctive features of private firms and limited evidence about their earnings management practices. The findings of this thesis contribute not only to the current discussion on earnings management on private firms versus PLCs but provide an important opportunity to advance the understanding of private firms across different sizes in the UK. This thesis makes a major contribution to research on earnings management by demonstrating how various characteristics of private firms affect the level of earnings manipulations.
