This study investigates whether corporate governance characteristics, mandated by the
Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles (CGBPP) for companies listed in Taiwan, are
associated with earnings management. In particular, we examine whether the independence,
financial expertise, and voluntary formation of independent directorships (supervisorships) are
associated with the absolute value of discretionary accruals. Our findings suggest that the
independence of supervisors, the financial expertise of independent directors, and the voluntary
formation of independent directorships (supervisorships) are associated with a lower likelihood of
earnings management. These findings are stronger after the CGBPP was enacted, suggesting that
the implementation of CGBPP has lowered the likelihood of earnings management.
