The relationships between the audit committee structure and earnings management is quite complicated. They are not simply bivariate correlations. Rather, there may be mediating effects or moderating influences on these casual associations. Nonetheless, previous research has not investigated these complicated relationships in emerging markets with an advanced economy. This paper aims to examine the mediating impact of audit committee structure and earnings management in Australia, Malaysia, and Pakistan. The results suggest that audit committee size is positively associated with financial reporting quality. We also noted that, instead of adding value, audit committee independence is negatively associated with reporting quality. The results indicate that the audit committee is a less significant factor in corporate governance than suggested by many previous researchers and policy makers. This paper contributes to the literature on corporate governance and earnings management by introducing a framework for identifying and analyzing moderating variables that affect the relationship between the audit committee structure and earnings management.

This study attempts to investigate the influence of accounting expertise in the AC on the level of accrual earnings management (AEM) in Malaysian firms by using two proxies, the Modified Jones Models by Dechow et al. (1995) and Kasznik (1999). A sample of 143 firms with slight positive earnings were selected from the Bursa Malaysia Main Market for 2013, 2014 and 2015. Using panel data regression, this study shows that accounting expertise in the AC does not mitigate AEM. The accounting expertise of the AC directors and chairman and the AC’s balanced accounting expertise have a positive relationship with attitude for AEM. In line with prior studies, this paper concludes that AC directors are either not truly independent or do not have time or energy to mitigate earnings management practices. Thus, more policies are needed to strengthen the independence of the AC and ensure the members carry out their duties more responsibly.
