Due to the conflict of interest between shareholders and managers, managers may want to hold excess cash and manipulate financial statement for their own interest. Even though cash holdings generate low rate of return, managers may want to accumulate it for satisfied them such as for building their own empire, investing in their pet projects or even spending for their own luxurious commodities. As the result, managers will accumulate cash more than is necessary especially in weak corporate governance standard environment. The need of cash and their compensation based on firm performance also lead to earning manipulation. Nonetheless, I expect the strong corporate governance can reduce this problem. In order to investigate the linkage between corporate cash holdings, earning management and corporate governance, it is required to find the empirical results in this study.
