本文以Jones (1991)模型和Kothari, Leone, and Wasley (2005)模型，評估裁決性應計數，探討管理者將可透過裁決性應計數操縱盈餘。研究樣本取自於台灣經濟新報資料庫，取樣期間為2011~2013 年，以有進行出售處分資產損益的台灣上市公司做為研究對象，探討出售處分資產損益、應計項目盈餘管理與董監事相關特性三者間的關聯性，藉以探討出售處分資產損益是否會受到公司進行盈餘管理使得財報之應計項目而有所變動，另外再加入董監事相關特性，並同時探討兩者與盈餘管理的相關性。實證結果如下：(1)獨立董監事規模與盈餘管理有正向顯著關係。(2)負債比率與盈餘管理呈現負相關，負債比率越高，裁決性應計項目越低，表示公司盈餘管理越沒有操弄。(3)股東權益收益率與應計項目盈餘管理有負相關的顯著關係。(4)出售處分資產損益對裁決性應計項目有正向顯著關係，顯示公司當年度的財報盈餘若不理想，公司的管理階層會以出售資產的方式來增加公司的盈餘，可使得盈餘達到預期的目標。
