Data were analyzed based on multiple linear regression. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the good corporate governance factors (audit committee size, independent board of commissioners, institutional ownership, managerial ownership) and free cash flow have no significant effect on earnings management, either partially or simultaneously.
