Finally, the effect coefficients obtained in two samples are compared with each other by two-sample t-test (paired comparison). The obtained results show that, there is a significant relationship between the life cycle stages of companies and earning management through sales management, production cost management and investment management. Also, the earnings management strategies used in the life cycle of family-owned firms are different from others. Based on the findings of this research, companies without family ownership use production cost management and sales management in the stages of introduction and maturity, respectively, and in the final stages of life (decline), they put earning management using investment management into practice. While family-owned companies do not use profit management in the early stages (introduction and growth), and in the maturity stages, they manage real earnings by using sales management.
