Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effect of conservatism culture on earnings management practices, both accrual and real earnings management. In addition, this study also investigates corporate governance to the relationship between conservatism culture and earnings management. The research samples were eleven Asia Pacific countries from 2010 to 2019. The data were taken from the Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters databases. Hypothesis testing was done with Multiple Linear Regression. The results provide empirical evidence that: 1) the conservatism culture has a positive effect on accrual (real) earnings management; and 2) corporate governance weakens the positive relationship between conservatism culture and accrual (real) earnings management practices. Therefore, these test results confirmed consistency-built hypotheses.
