الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aims to assess the subject of earnings exploitation and the extent to which Shariah-compliant and non-Shariah-compliant firms are likely to engage in these practices in the MENA region during the period between 2005 and 2009.

Our results show that Sharaih-compliant firms are less likely to do earnings management in comparison to non-Shariah-compliant firms.

Our results are robust across the civil law and common law countries and across the crises and the normal periods.

However, care should be observed while interpreting our results.

We argue that lower earnings management may be due to the very characteristics of Shariah-compliant firms and may have nothing to do with Islamic values.

We argue that most of these firms do no observe Islamic values as evident by the fact that they do not advertise themselves as observing Shariah compliance.
