Abstract
In this article, we explore the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and earnings management (EM). Our
CSR index, using KLD data, incorporates information from the following issue areas: the community, corporate governance, diversity,
the product, employee relations, the environment, and human rights. Results show that more socially responsible firms have
higher quality accruals and less activity-based EM, both of which impact financial reporting quality.
