Outline of Final Research Achievements	The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between non-recurring expense items and level of earning per stock under income smoothing context. While considering some unexpected factors in pursuing the aim, insightful implications and future research topics could be found out. A focus on an accounting for restructuring charges, with quarterly financial statements prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in Japan, would be helpful in explaining a managerial behavior for accounting policy changes.
