- Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the influence of profitability, financial leverage, and public accounting firm size on income smoothing practices, with firm size as a moderating variable. The research method used was quantitative, with a population of manufacturing companies in the consumer goods industry sector from 2018 to 2020. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 72 companies. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Square (PLS) with the SmartPLS 3 application. The results showed that profitability, financial leverage, and public accounting firm size had no effect on income smoothing practices. Firm size was found to moderate the effects of profitability and financial leverage, but not public accounting firm size. These findings have implications for understanding the factors that influence income smoothing practices in the consumer goods industry.
