The findings aid the Securities Exchange members in the assessment of the parts of Corporate Governance framework and also help the External Auditor in improving the nature of reported income. The present research highlights two relevant implications of findings. First, the increasing in CEO duality and board activity affects earning management of financial sector in UAE; second the positive influence of ownership structure and board size on Discretionary accruals (DA).
