The results show that financing companies engage more on earning management behavior in general. Gender of top managers has no significant effect on companies’ earning management; however, male proportion of top management team will increase earnings management behavior when companies have a demand on financing. Furthermore, the average educational level of top management team has a positive influence on companies earning management and this effect is stronger for companies who have a financing situation.
