The method used is quantitative statistical analysis, using secondary data of the annual reports of companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange in 2021-2022 sectors of consumer non-cyclicals and consumer cyclical. The results of this study found that capital structures have a significant positive influence on prudence, profit management has a significant negative influence upon prudence. Control variables such as profitability and corporate size have no significant negative influence on prudence.
