 Management is motivated to manage earnings to:
1. Beat benchmarks such as prior-quarter earnings or earnings from the same quarter of a prior year.
2. Avoid reporting a loss.
3. Present a firm's earnings as a smooth, upward trend.
4. Increase their own compensation when bonus plans are based on the net income or stock price of the firm.
