Abstract
This study examines the effect of leverage level and dividend policy on earnings management practices, with audit quality as a moderating variable. The research was conducted on manufacturing sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2024. The study population consisted of 228 companies, and a total of 76 companies were selected as samples using a purposive sampling method. Data analysis was performed using panel data regression with the assistance of EViews 13 software. The analytical techniques included descriptive analysis, model selection, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing. The approach used in this study was the Random Effect Model (REM). The results show that leverage has a negative and significant effect on earnings management, while dividend policy does not have a significant effect on earnings management. Furthermore, audit quality is proven to act as a pure moderator that both strengthens and weakens the relationship between leverage and earnings management, but does not moderate the relationship between dividend policy and earnings management. Future research is suggested to consider additional factors such as firm size, profitability, institutional ownership, or ownership structure, which may influence earnings management practices.
