In this study, the relationship between administrative, general and sale expenses (SGA) stickiness and earnings management in listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange has been investigated. Our sample was a group of 120 companies listed between 1390 and 1394. To analyze the data and test and hypotheses, multivariate regression model was used.
