The analysis reveals a growth in research volume over the years, reflecting increasing complexity and relevance. Key trends indicate a shift from traditional theoretical frameworks to more practical concerns, such as the implications of earnings management on financial stability and market perception. The study also underscores the importance of international collaboration and the impact of regulatory environments on earnings management practices. Findings from this study suggest directions for future research, emphasizing the need for advanced detection techniques and a deeper understanding of cross-cultural dynamics in earnings management.
