Sampling techniques uses purposive sampling based on determined criteria and data analysis is performed by multiple regression analysis using E-Views 11.0 version. The result shows that in partial, Company Risk positively, Liquidity and Capital Adequacy negatively affects significantly on Earning Management, while Leverage does not and in the other side Capital Adequacy Ratio only moderates the relation between Liquidity and Earning Management.
