Although it is a controversial topic still studies reveal that the practices of Creative accounting can be judiciously applied with ethical considerations. The present paper attempts to highlight the pros and cons of Creative Accounting by enumerating its importance to various interest groups. The study reveals that Creative Accounting helps to solve many problems which are faced by the management in today’s complicated and dynamic business environment.
