Abstract

This study strives to assess the extent to which managerial ownership structure and audit quality affect earnings management behavior within companies, with corporate governance acting as a mediating variable. It examines how these two factors influence earnings management practices both directly and indirectly through corporate governance. This research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing secondary data from non-financial firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) over the period 2020–2023. The study applies panel data regression to analyze the relationships among the variables. Furthermore, the findings reveal significant differences in earnings management practices between the pandemic and post-pandemic periods. These outcomes provide valuable insights for improving corporate governance and enhancing the quality and transparency of financial reporting.
