In this study, data from 62 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years of 2011 to 2015 were used. The statistical method used in this research is panel data and the multiple linear regression models were used to test the hypotheses.

The results of the hypotheses test using panel data showed that from the four characteristics taken into consideration for the board of directors, duration of tenure of Chief Executive Officer on the board of directors (in all three models of real earnings management), the size of the board of directors (in real earnings management model based on abnormal discretionary expenditure ), the independence of the board of directors and CEO-duality (in real earnings management models based on abnormal production costs), have a significant impact on the real earnings management
