Abstract

Purpose: Examining the status of earnings management by firms in Iran's economic instability, as well as the role of good governance in adjusting this relationship, has remained unanswered so far. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of macroeconomic instability on earnings management and the moderating role of good governance indicators in Iran.
Method: To achieve the purpose of the research, the financial information of 163 companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period from the beginning of 2009 to the end of 2022 was used, and to test the hypothesis of the research, the multivariate regression method and combined data were used.
Results: The findings showed that economic instability in Iran's economic environment does not affect real earnings management. However, the findings showed that economic instability in this management environment has increased accrual profit. on the other hand, the findings showed that good governance was able to moderate the relationship between economic instability and real and accrual earnings management. In this way, the interaction of the good governance index with economic instability has caused the real earnings management and accrual earnings management to decrease.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, good governance has a positive effect on adjusting the negative effects of economic instability on earnings management. Accounting researchers can investigate more deeply the role of good governance tools and mechanisms in organizations and provide models that promote the reduce of earnings management in the conditions of economic instability.
Contribution: The findings of this research show a good explanation of the status of earnings management in Iran's economic environment, especially under unstable conditions, and also highlight the important role of good governance in such an environment.
