The Impact of Corporate Governance on Earnings Management in Palestine: The Moderating Effects of Political Instability by Ali Hassan Ibraheem Aljadba, Norhaziah Nawai, Nur Hidayah Laili

“…Based on the OLS regression results by using a panel data of 232 observations, the findings show that the BOD quality is positively related to EM, while AC quality is negatively associated with EM. The results also reveal that political instability plays a moderating role by weakening the relationship between the AC quality and EM during the severe unstable political situation, while the BOD quality is negatively associated with EM under the same situation. …”
