Manipulation of earnings by managers is one way to achieve the expected earning and manager’s compensation is one of the most incentives to do it. Institutional shareholders are one of the most effective observers of financial performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between compensation incentives of the managrmrnt board and earnings management with regard to institutional investors of firms listed on TSE. Following a descriptive and applied method and using the systematic sampling, 191 firms were selected as a final sample during 1387-1393 which in general 1337 firm-years observations were considered in analysis of the study hypotheses. To survey the relationship between the variables, multivariable regression was used by OLS approach. Also, in order to analyze the data we used Excel and Eviews and to test the hypotheses we used Panel Data approach. The results show that short- and long-term incentive-based compensations with regard to institutional shareholders have a negative relationship with discretionary current and non-current accruals respectively. Also, results indicate that existence of institutional shareholders is effective in relationship between short- and long-term incentive-based compensations and earnings management.

For this purpose, a sample consisting of 112 companies during the period of 2001 to 2014 was selected. To test the research hypotheses, extension Basu model has been used. In this model, conditional conservatism is measured using the Basu’s asymmetric timeliness measure; cash flow from operation to net income ratio (CFO/NI) was used as a proxy of earnings quality, and the market to book ratio (MTB) was used to measure the unconditional conservatism.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the relevance of intangible assets during the period before and after the implementation of Accounting Standard No. 17.
