It is well known that the commitment of manipulation act which is one of the factors significantly worsening the impairment of the corporate financial (mis)reporting process through the impairment of the market efficiency has strong accounting, financial, legal and economic linkages altogether. However, these linkages or ties have not yet attained the attention it deserves in the literature.

In so doing, it strives to cover up this directed loophole the extant literature features to a reasonably certain degree, through crystallizing the significance and context of manipulation. This paper clearly documents that there is a need to broaden the definition of manipulation concept in a way to encompass financial statements for the bona fide investors or users of corporate financial information may not be harmed by the (public) companies to commit such offenses around. In other words, this study shows that comprehensive financial regulations to better address the current needs that will bring together much better accounting practices as well as economic and financial system.
