The company's annual financial statements are the source of the data. By using the purposive sampling method, the sampling technique produced 51 samples, or a sample of 17 companies with three years of observation.. Using the SPSS 25 program, this study employs moderation regression analysis and multiple regression analysis techniques with the MRA test approach.
