Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate the impact of corporating governance

tools in reducing creative accounting practices in the Jordanian shareholding

companies. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers developed

a questionnaire and distributed among the study population, which consists

of internal and external auditors. A random sample of (110) auditors was

selected, and descriptive statistics methods (mean, standard deviation, and

percentage) are used. In order to test hypotheses of the study, the researchers

used the one sample (T) test. The study found that there is effect of the Board

of Directors in reducing creative accounting practices in the Jordanian

shareholding companies to raise the level of transparency and efficiency in

the financial reports published by companies. Audit Committee affected the

reduction of creative accounting practices in the Jordanian shareholding

companies through the participation of the Audit Committee with the Board

in the selection of appropriate accounting policies and the preparation of

financial reports. There is an impact of the internal audit in the reduction of

the practices of creative accounting in Jordanian shareholding companies

embodied in reports and observations in these reports. This is true in case of

the external audit. This is structured through the external auditor to ensure

that accounting policies applied in line with the professional versions to

reduce the practice of creative accounting.

The study recommends the need to reconsider the responsibility of the

internal and external auditors by focusing on economic value and various

risks in the practices of creative accounting. There is a need to expand the

circle of activities of internal and external audit to include examination,

evaluation, analysis and management strategies of the company in terms of

strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
