This thesis investigates whether EU bank managers use discretionary loan loss provisions in order to smooth income and whether market discipline, corporate governance mechanisms and audit quality influence those bank managers’ decisions. Loan loss provisions comprise the most important banks accounting accrual given that there are no specific recognition guidelines. The examined sample consist of 133 banks form 26 EU countries for the period 2006-2013. The empirical findings imply that market discipline, as it is exerted by depositors influence managements’ accounting discretion. In fact, accounting decisions appear to be different depending on banks’ capitalization and systemic importance. Furthermore, banks’ accounting discretion is influenced by internal governance mechanisms such as board structure, management’ compensation disclosure and leverage. Finally, my findings imply that the reverse association between audit quality and income smooth is conditioned upon each bank’s idiosyncratic risk. These findings may be useful for regulators, accounting standard setters and auditors who aim to improve banks transparency and accounting quality.
