| Abstract | ||
| Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine whether cross-listing Egyptian firms in international stock exchanges are associated with improving the quality of reported earnings Design/Method – Depending on multivariate regression analysis, this study examined the impact of international cross-listing on the earnings management practices of Egyptian firms. Findings – Using earnings management practices as an inverse proxy for quality of financial reporting, this study found that cross-listed Egyptian firms tend to report larger value of discretionary accruals compared with non-cross-listed Egyptian firms after controlling for several firm-level characteristics that could influence managers’ incentives to manipulate earnings. | ||
