Abstract

Accounting standards that allow for earnings management have a significant impact on the capital market and the overall economy. Due to the research gap identified in previous studies, this research further investigates the factors influencing earnings quality. The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of profitability on earnings quality. The research sample consists of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2021 to 2023, comprising 304 data observations. Quantitative statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25. The results indicate that the independent variable, profitability has a significant effect on earnings quality. In contrast, the control variable such as leverage, liquidity, and sales growth have no effect on earnings quality. On the other hand, firm size also used as a control variable demonstrates a significant effect on earnings quality. The implications of this research, particularly in the fields of accounting and earnings management, support positive accounting theory which posits that a firm's financial characteristics can influence its financial reporting practices. This study also contributes to the literature on the determinants of earnings quality in the consumer goods sector and provides up-to-date empirical evidence using data from 2021 to 2023. Furthermore, the findings offer practical implications for investors in evaluating company performance and the integrity of financial statements as part of their financial analysis and decision-making process. / Standar Akuntansi yang melibatkan manajemen laba memiliki dampak signifikan terhadap pasar modal dan perekonomian.

Sampel penelitian ini adalah perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) pada tahun 2021 sampai tahun 2023. Penelitian ini menggunakan 304 sampel data. Uji statistik kuantitatif untuk menganalisis data penelitian ini menggunakan SPSS versi 25. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa variabel indpenden yaitu profitabilitas berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kualitas laba.

Di sisi lain, ukuran perusahaan yang juga varibel kontrol menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan terhadap kualitas laba. Implikasi penelitian ini khususnya bidang akuntansi dan manajemen laba dapat mendukung teori akuntansi positif yang menyatakan bahwa karakteristik keuangan perusahaan dapat memengaruhi praktik pelaporan keuangan. Penelitian ini juga memperkaya literatur mengenai faktor-faktor penentu kualitas laba pada sektor barang konsumsi, serta memberikan bukti empiris terbaru dengan data tahun 2021-2023. Penelitian ini juga memberikan implikasi bagi investor untuk bahan pertimbangan dan analisis keuangan dalam mengevaluasi kinerja dan integritas laporan keuangan suatu perusahaan.
