This study aims to conduct a systematic synthesis of available empirical evidence to empirically ascertain the impact of Board of Directors' competence on earnings management practices in Islamic banking. The research employs a qualitative literature review approach. A literature search was performed on the Scopus database for the period 2010–2025, utilizing a combination of the keywords "Islamic bank," "Board of Director," and "Earnings Management." From an initial pool of 127 identified documents, a rigorous screening process based on inclusion and exclusion criteria yielded 53 reputable journal articles as the final units of analysis. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis to synthesize substantive findings. The synthesis results consistently confirm that Board of Directors' competence demonstrates a negative and significant impact on earnings management practices in Islamic banking. However, the effectiveness of this impact is not homogeneous. The principal findings identify three crucial boundary conditions: (1) The presence of specific expertise in finance and Sharia contracts at the board level serves as the primary differentiator of supervisory effectiveness; (2) The complementary interaction with the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) moderates the strength of this relationship; and (3) The regional institutional context (centralization model in Southeast Asia vs. decentralization in the GCC) significantly influences the effectiveness of governance in curbing the manipulation of discretionary accounts, including the Profit Equalization Reserve (PER).

This study analyzes the factors that influence the cost of equity capital in food and beverage manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020–2023. The study focuses on information asymmetry, earnings management, voluntary disclosure, and business diversification as determinants of the cost of equity capital. This study is relevant to the dynamics of the financial market after the decline in Bank Indonesia's benchmark interest rate in the 2024–2025 period, which has the potential to change investor preferences and increase attention to the quality and transparency of company information. The study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from companies' financial statements and annual reports. The sample was determined using purposive sampling and resulted in 177 observations from 46 companies over four years of observation. The cost of equity capital was measured using the Ohlson model, while hypothesis testing was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that earnings management and voluntary disclosure have a significant effect on the cost of equity capital. Conversely, information asymmetry and business diversification were not found to have a significant effect. These findings confirm that the quality of financial reporting and the level of information disclosure play an important role in shaping investors' risk perceptions and return expectations.

The impact of earnings management practices in banking companies is a consideration of the importance of research on earnings management that discusses how to reduce and control aggressiveness and deviations from earnings management so as to maintain the credibility and quality of information presented by financial reports. This article aims to observe and analyze the development of research on the role of the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) in reducing discretionary accruals in Islamic banking. This article uses a qualitative approach to literature study by analyzing articles originating from previous research. Based on the results of the analysis of previous articles, a strong argument is provided that the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) plays a significant but complex role in mitigating earnings management practices in Islamic banking. The effectiveness of the SSB's Sharia Supervisory Board, adequate qualifications and expertise (a combination of sharia and financial knowledge) are one of the most consistent determining factors, surpassing mere size or frequency of meetings. There is an academic gap for future research exploring moderating variables, real-world manipulation techniques, and the dynamics of interactions between governance elements within the dual structure that characterizes Islamic banking.

Earnings management is an action that can affect the quality of a company's financial information. As the highest leader, the CEO plays a critical role in strategic decision-making, including in earnings management practices. This study aims to examine the influence of CEO characteristics—namely age, education level, and tenure—on earnings management in food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019–2023 period. A quantitative approach is employed using secondary data from annual reports of 21 companies, with a total of 99 firm-year observations. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with leverage, profitability, and sales growth as control variables. The results show that CEO age has a negative effect on earnings management, CEO tenure has a positive effect, while CEO education level shows no significant effect. These findings indicate that the personal characteristics of CEOs influence a company’s tendency to engage in earnings management. This study provides insights for investors, management, and regulators to consider CEO attributes when assessing the risk of financial reporting manipulation.

This study aims to examine the impact of the implementation of Financial Accounting Standard Statement (PSAK) No. 71 on earnings management in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2022-2023 period. The study uses a quantitative approach, with secondary data collected from the financial statements of 43 banking companies listed on the IDX. A sample of 39 banks and 78 data observations collected over two years was used for the analysis. The data collection method involved gathering written sources from the financial reports of the selected banks. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression, with the results revealing that PSAK No. 71 negatively impacts earnings management in these banks. Specifically, the implementation of PSAK No. 71 affects the way banks recognize and measure financial instruments, leading to a reduction in the manipulation of earnings. This suggests that the standard plays a significant role in improving transparency and reliability in financial reporting within the banking sector. The findings highlight the effectiveness of PSAK No. 71 in curbing earnings management practices, contributing to more accurate financial statements. The study's results underscore the importance of implementing accounting standards that promote fair and transparent financial reporting, benefiting stakeholders and ensuring financial stability in the banking sector

This study focuses on examining the relationship between tax planning, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities on earnings management. The research method used is quantitative with a descriptive approach. The population of the study consists of manufacturing companies in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2022–2023. The sample comprises 47 company financial statements obtained through purposive sampling, with secondary data as the main source. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to determine the relationship between the variables under study: tax planning, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, and earnings management. The results indicate that tax planning and deferred tax liabilities significantly affect earnings management. This suggests that companies can use tax planning strategies to influence reported earnings and manage deferred tax liabilities to achieve desired managerial objectives, such as optimizing tax payments or adjusting earnings levels. However, deferred tax assets do not show a significant impact on earnings management, which may be due to other factors not observed in this study, such as internal company policies or different approaches to managing tax assets. Simultaneously, the findings confirm that all three variables have an impact on earnings management, contributing 10.3%. The remaining 89.7% of the impact comes from other factors not covered in the scope of this research, such as macroeconomic factors, government policies, or even the varying accounting practices of different companies. These findings provide valuable insights into how tax management influences earnings management and open opportunities for further research to better understand other variables that may affect corporate earnings management practices.

This study was conducted to explore in depth how ethical pressure, ethical orientation, and religiosity influence earnings management practices, while also examining whether religiosity plays a role as a moderating variable in this relationship. Using a quantitative, survey-based approach, this study involved 109 respondents with professional backgrounds and experience in accounting and finance, thus deemed relevant in understanding the phenomenon of earnings management from a practitioner's perspective. The data analysis technique used was Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), which is considered appropriate for examining relationships between latent variables with high complexity. The results show that ethical pressure has a positive and significant influence on earnings management practices, meaning that the greater the ethical pressure a person feels, the higher the tendency to engage in such practices. Conversely, ethical orientation shows a negative and significant influence, so that individuals with a strong ethical orientation tend to reject this manipulative practice. Religiosity is also shown to have a significant negative influence, so that the higher a person's level of religiosity, the lower their tendency to engage in earnings management. Furthermore, moderation analysis found that religiosity strengthens the influence of ethical orientation in suppressing earnings management practices, meaning that individuals who are both religious and have a high ethical orientation are more consistent in maintaining their integrity. However, the role of religiosity was not proven to be significant in moderating the relationship between ethical pressure and earnings management practices, indicating that although religiosity can shape ethical attitudes, it is not sufficient to mitigate the impact of strong external pressures. These findings imply the importance of strengthening ethical values ​​and religiosity in accounting education and practice to prevent opportunistic behavior that is detrimental to related parties.

The sampling technique for this study used purposive sampling so that a total of 92 data could be processed. The data analysis technique in this study uses path analysis using SPSS software version 25. The results showed that profitability has a negative effect on earnings management and sales growth has a positive effect on earnings management. Profitability has a positive effect on financial distress, while sales growth has no effect on financial distress. Financial distress has a positive effect on earnings management. The results of the mediating variable test using path analysis show that financial distress is able to mediate the effect of profitability on earnings management, while financial distress is unable to mediate the effect of sales growth on earnings management.

This study examines the influence of leverage, profitability, and capital structure on earnings management in consumer non-cyclicals companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019–2023. Earnings management has become a central issue in financial reporting, as it reflects managerial discretion in presenting financial information that may not fully align with the company’s actual economic condition. Understanding the determinants of earnings management is therefore essential to enhance transparency, credibility, and stakeholder trust in corporate financial reports. The research employed a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis, with data processed through SPSS version 25. The sample consisted of 104 company-year observations, which were selected using purposive sampling techniques and subsequently refined through outlier testing to ensure data validity and reliability. The independent variables analyzed were leverage, profitability, and capital structure, while earnings management served as the dependent variable. The empirical findings demonstrate that leverage and profitability exert a significant influence on earnings management practices. Specifically, companies with higher leverage tend to engage in earnings management as a mechanism to meet financial obligations and reduce the risk of violating debt covenants. Similarly, higher profitability motivates managers to manipulate earnings in order to sustain investor confidence and maintain a favorable corporate image. In contrast, capital structure is found to have no significant effect on earnings management, indicating that financing decisions between debt and equity may not directly influence managerial behavior in financial reporting. These results highlight the importance of monitoring leverage and profitability indicators as potential predictors of earnings management. For corporate management, the findings suggest the need to implement stronger internal control systems and uphold ethical financial practices. For investors and regulators, the study provides useful insights into assessing company performance beyond reported earnings, thereby supporting more informed decision-making and promoting the integrity of capital markets.

This study aims to examine the impact of CEO turnover on earnings management in non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the period of 2018–2023, with independent commissioners as a moderating variable. Multiple linear regression is used as the model, and the results show that CEO turnover has a significant negative impact on earnings management, where the new CEO tends to engage in earnings management through Big Bath Accounting to improve future performance. Furthermore, independent commissioners have been proven to significantly moderate the relationship between CEO turnover and earnings management, with a higher proportion of independent commissioners in the board of commissioners weakening the negative effect of CEO turnover on earnings management. Control variables such as leverage, profitability, and company size also have a significant impact on earnings management practices. This study contributes to the development of corporate governance in Indonesia, particularly regarding the role of independent commissioners in controlling earnings management practices. The findings are expected to provide insights for investors and regulators in assessing the risks of financial report manipulation and improving transparency and accountability in companies listed on the stock exchange.

Earnings management remains a critical topic in financial reporting, as it can mislead stakeholders and distort the actual financial performance of a company. This study aims to analyze and test the effect of deferred tax assets, deferred tax expenses, and managerial ownership on earnings management in Consumer Non-Cyclicals companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. The motivation behind this research stems from the increasing concerns over the use of tax-related components and ownership structures as instruments in manipulating financial outcomes. The research employs a descriptive method with a quantitative approach, utilizing secondary data sourced from published financial statements and annual reports. The sample is selected through purposive sampling based on specific criteria, resulting in a total of 10 companies being analyzed. The analytical techniques applied include descriptive statistics, panel data regression, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing to ensure robust and valid results. The findings reveal that deferred tax assets do not significantly affect earnings management practices. In contrast, deferred tax expenses and managerial ownership are found to have a significant influence on earnings management. Furthermore, when tested simultaneously, deferred tax assets, deferred tax expenses, and managerial ownership collectively exhibit a significant effect on earnings management. These results imply that while not all tax-related variables influence earnings manipulation, certain components—particularly deferred tax expenses and ownership structure—play a pivotal role. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the relevance of tax accounting and governance mechanisms in shaping earnings quality.

This study investigates the impact of real and accrual earnings management on idiosyncratic risk, with a focus on the moderating role of good corporate governance, proxied by managerial ownership, in manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2022. Using moderated regression analysis, the findings reveal that both real and accrual earnings management practices negatively affect idiosyncratic risk, suggesting that earnings management may serve as a risk mitigation tool under efficient contracting perspectives. However, managerial ownership exhibits divergent effects: while it strengthens the risk-reducing impact of real earnings management, it unexpectedly amplifies the idiosyncratic risk associated with accrual earnings management, potentially due to managerial motivations to meet financial targets. These results highlight the complex role of corporate governance in earnings management, as it may act as both a stabilizing and risk-amplifying factor depending on the type of earnings management practiced. The study underscores the need for stakeholders to critically evaluate earnings management and corporate governance practices, while encouraging future research to include additional variables to further explain idiosyncratic risk determinants. The study's Adjusted R Square value of 8.1% indicates that other significant factors affecting idiosyncratic risk were not captured in this analysis.
