A quartile method is implemented in this paper to identify suspected samples with manipulation behavior. The results of the statistical test and the case study show that the real activities manipulation measurement models constructed and identification method used in this paper can well identify the real activities manipulation behavior of the enterprises and at the same time accurately estimate their inflated profits.
