However, with the rapid development, earnings management action is very common. It not only misleads the investors but also impairs the function of stock market. So, it’s necessary to prohibit this action.Auditing Standards of China requires that: The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and China Accounting System for Business Enterprises. This responsibility includes: (1) designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; (2) selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and (3) making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
