Book Description
Since 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have published many accounting standards relating to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) items, starting with the issuance of a Staff Draft of an Exposure Draft on financial statement presentation in 2010, Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-05 in 2011 and Amendments to IAS 1 in 2012, respectively. This study primarily investigated whether alternative financial statement presentation formats affected (a) investors' ability to detect earnings management, and (b) managers' willingness to engage in earnings management. The impacts of OCI disclosures and presentation formats were experimentally assessed in two experiments. In Experiment 1, I manipulated three forms of financial statement presentation formats (SD, ONE and TWO), two levels of non-professional investors' knowledge (High and Low) and two types of investors (Professional and Non-professional) in a 3*2*2 reduced factorial design.
