Abstract

The objective of this research is to examine the impact of ROA, company size, and leverage on REM practices in Indonesia's manufacturing business sector from 2017 to 2021. This research examines financial report data from companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange using a quantitative method with panel data analysis and multiple regression. According to the findings, the only variable that significantly affects REM is the leverage variable. However, there is no evidence that ROA or SIZE significantly affect REM. According to these results, REM practices are driven more by debt obligation pressure than by financial performance indicators or firm size within the earnings management environment. This research adds to the existing body of knowledge on earnings management strategies within the setting of Indonesian manufacturing organizations and deepens our understanding of the factors that impact REM. The research findings highlight the importance of financial strategy planning and earnings management in considering the impact of leverage. It also highlights that REM decisions are influenced by more complicated internal and external factors than just firm size and ROA.
