Do Life-Cycles Affect Financial Reporting Quality? Evidence from Emerging Market

This paper aims to present the effect of life cycle on financial reporting quality (FRQ). Discretionary accruals, small profit, and audit aggressiveness were used to test the FRQ from different approaches for Borsa Istanbul-listed companies between 2008 and 2017. The sample comprises 1,645 observati...
