Description
Summary:Using an agency theory approach, this study examines the influence of institutional ownership, managerial ownership, tax avoidance, and profitability on earning management. There are 315 companies as a research sample using the purposive sampling method with the following criteria: companies listed on the IDX during the 2018-2022 period, companies that prepare annual financial statements, and non-cyclical consumer sector companies. This study used multiple linear regression analysis and a t-test with a significance of 5% as hypothesis testing. The results of the study show that institutional ownership, managerial ownership, and tax avoidance have a negative effect on earning management, while profitability has a positive effect on earning management. These results prove that institutional and managerial ownership and good corporate governance can reduce earning management and tax avoidance. However, profitability still improves earning management.
