Little is currently known about the impact that adoption of the IFRS has had on earnings management by companies on the Brazilian capital markets and less still is known about each of the two strategies for manipulation of results – accruals-based management and real activities management ( Medeiros Cupertino, Lopo Martinez, & da Costa, 2016). Brazil is going through a process of convergence with International Accounting Standards and since 2010 a large proportion of companies have been obliged to publish financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Some studies, such as one by Cohen and Zarowin (2008), found that some managers reacted by trading off accruals-based management against real activities after the SOX was passed. Among other provisions, the SOX stipulates more restrictive accounting standards, with the objective of limiting management's discretion with relation to disclosure of transactions that have an effect on the company's results.
