Introduction

Earnings smoothing is a common practice employed by firms to manage fluctuations in their financial performance by manipulating accounting figures. This practice has gained significant attention from regulators, investors, and academic researchers due to its potential impact on financial statement transparency and reliability. Earnings smoothing practices can vary across industries, with some sectors more prone to engage in these activities than others. Understanding the prevalence and implications of earnings smoothing practices across industries is crucial for investors, analysts, and policymakers to make informed decisions and ensure the integrity of financial markets.
