Creative accounting and investment analysts response

Article Abstract:

A survey of stockbroker analysts' evaluations of corporate accounts was carried out in London, England in 1990. The analysts tended to have low correction rates for window dressing and appeared not to include creative accounting in their analysis. The timing was at the end of a bull market and this could have affected the experience of younger analysts. Analysts may also seek further information rather than correcting statements. Further research is necessary in order to assess the significance of this research for financial markets.
