Abstract: This article aims at highlighting the earnings management practices from the opening of capital markets in the late 19th century. At this time, financing methods of firms know major changes in a context of absence of accounting standards. A historical case study of L?Air Liquide, conducted from its creation in 1902 to 1939 highlights the fact that intangible expenses are used as a tool for earnings management according to changes in the financing structure.
