Recensioner i media

From the reviews: "Provides a comprehensive overview of academic research ... . suited for most types of readers, from accounting researchers to managers. Still, I envision doctoral students and more experienced accounting scholars to be the primary target audience for this book. ... In my opinion, this book is very well written and executed ... . Within its scope, this book is an accounting scholar's must-have, an interesting read providing us with not only the author's perspective on earnings management but also a very useful literature overview."
