In this study the authors could not find any empirical evidence that suggests the existence of manipulation in the calculation of depreciation efforts undertaken by the management, at their respective companies. Manipulation process is intended to reduce the debt burden of corporate taxes also do not have a significance impact on the consolidated cash flow on operating activities.
Depreciation is one way to reduce the tax burden on companies including Suspect firm-years.
