While the results of hypothesis testing are obtained that leverage has no effect on income smoothing, this is indicated by the results of the t-test of 0.072 > 0.05, and based on the results of hypothesis testing, it is obtained that firm size has an effect on income smoothing, this is indicated by the results of the t-test of 0.042 < 0 ,05.
