Abstract

This study assesses the effect of the gender of chief executive officers (CEOs) and chief financial officers (CFOs) on corporate earnings management. Samples were collected from manufacturing firms listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period of 2012-2014. The results of the study reveal that the existence of female CEOs and CFOs has no significant effect on corporate earnings management. These findings indicate that external pressure from other parties may be a more significant factor affecting how firms manage their financial reports. Consequently, this impedes the effect of the characteristics inherent in the gender of corporate decision makers.
