Abstract
Objective –The study investigates whether firms with an independent risk management committee and the presence of
institutional investors will deter management from engaging in real earnings management.
Methodology – The data are derived from 360 firm-year observations collected over five years (2015-2019). To analyze
the data, the Panel Corrected Standard Error is used.
Findings– According to the results, the risk management committee and institutional investors reduce management's
desire to manipulate reported earnings.
Novelty – The presence of a risk management committee, according to this paper, reduces managers' discretion to dwell
on real earnings manipulations. The study educates regulators on the importance of firms having a separate and active
risk management committee to improve internal control and assist the board in monitoring management activities.
