Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate whether and under what conditions managers used discretionary accruals to maximize their bonuses as they were affected by the implementation of SFAS Nos. 2 and 34. In addition, the study analyzed if managers' timing of their adoption of mandatory accounting principle (MAP) is a factor in their successful response to MAP. The results show that managers time their adoption of the MAP based on their ability to offset the effect of the MAP on their bonuses.
