Panel regression analysis was used and it was found that, both board independence and size have significant negative effect of earnings management. However, insignificant negative effect of board gender diversity on earnings management was found. It is concluded that, financial reports misrepresentation in the quoted consumer goods in Nigeria, decreases with increase in the number of directors in the board, and the number of non-executive directors. Based on these it is recommended among others that, quoted consumer goods companies in Nigeria should ensure that the number of directors in the board is enough to help make good decision in relation to quality of financial reports to be presented by the companies. This is to say that, as good and capable hands (Directors) are committed to the board, the board is said to be more effective since talents will be synchronised to make the most of good decisions. | en_US |
