Abstract

Accounting conservatism is a principle that calls for a high degree of verification before a company can make a legal claim to any profits. This principle is not intended to manipulate the amount or timing of reporting financial figures. Theoretically, it should be able to suppress management’s opportunistic behavior to manage earnings. Therefore, this study aims to examine the influence of accounting conservatism on earnings management and determine the moderating effect of the corporate life cycle (CLC) in the relationship between them. The objects in this study were manufacturing companies listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2016-2019 period. This study employed 524 companies as samples selected by the purposive sampling method. Based on the analysis using the random effect model, it was found that accounting conservatism had a negative effect on earnings management, and the corporate life cycle could moderate the relationship between them. These results imply two things: 1) CLC is a factor that needs to be considered in research on the relationship between accounting conservatism and earnings management, and 2) CLC is an essential factor that investors should consider when assessing management in managing a company.
