Abstract

This article aims at highlighting the earnings management practices from the opening of capital markets in the late 19th century. The choice of this period is due to the absence of accounting standards. On the other hand, firms benefited from a potential access to different external sources of financing. A historical case study of L'Air Liquide (1902-1939) highlights the intangible expenses as a tool for earnings management according to changes in the financing structure.
