Abstract

This paper explores the Earnings Management (EM) patterns in public companies and State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in Fiji. The modified Jones model is used to measure the magnitude and direction of EM in the listed companies and the SOEs. Results indicate that SOEs practice higher negative earnings management while the private entities practice higher positive earnings management.
