This study examines whether, after controlling the influence of corporate governance and pay-for-performance on earnings management, analyst coverage still have extra effect to monitor the executives in companies and to reduce the problem of the earnings management or not. The sample in this research is the component of Standard & Poor 1500 and the sample period is during 2001-2006. To do more accurate measure of earnings management, I use the extended modified Jones model to estimate discretionary accruals. The empirical result suggests that analyst coverage have extra influence of monitor on the executives in companies to reduce earnings management after controlling the effect of corporate governance and pay-for-performance on earnings management.
