The paper reviews whether IPO firms engage in earnings management discretionary behaviour, by focusing on the accrual-based earnings management (AEM) models. It also determines on the influence of opportunistic behaviour and ownership control mechanisms towards earnings quality of IPO firms. The Jones, Modified Jones, Performance Matched, and Total Accrual Models wiil be used to investigate accrual activity behaviours in IPO firms.
