Abstract: The impact of XBRL usage on the relationship between corporate governance quality and earning management practices was examined in this study. A questionnaire was prepared and used to gather data from 143 ASE-listed companies that cooperated in receiving the study instrument. The results show a negative linkage between board of directors and audit committee characteristics, and earnings management. Thus, board of directors and audit committee could effectively curtail earnings management practices. Further, XBRL usage does not mediate the relationship between audit committee and board of directors, and earnings management. As a result, appropriate infrastructure should be provided to XBRL providers, while training should be provided to XBRL users, to assure effective XBRL implementation.
