Since management can set the time of real dealings such that its affects on the reported profit tend to decrease fluctuations of the reported profit and help gaining the expected profit, assets sales is believed to be one of the real dealings in all business companies. So, the aim of this research was to study whether managers manage profit through timing the long-lived assets sales? The companies admitted in Tehran Stock Exchange provide the statistical samples of this research. This is a causal-comparative research. T-Student Test is used to test the hypotheses. Firstly, using Covariance Analysis Test (Ancova), the relation between controlling variables and independent variables is found and the effect of controlling variables on independent variables is negated. The results of the research indicate that management has not done earning management through long-lived assets sales.
