The study found that companies with sound financial status and the proportion of
independent commissioners effect on discretionary accruals is negative and
significant. While the size of the board of commissioners negative effect on
discretionary accruals at 10% significance. These findings indicate a healthy
position, holding that the classification of companies use earnings management
tends to be low, compared to firms that are classified by category of bankruptcy and
bankruptcy‐prone. Variable institutional ownership and managerial ownership, is
not shown to have a significant effect on discretionary accruals of the company.
