This study uses Eviews 12 and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) software. Analysis of data was performed using regression analysis of panel data utilizing a common effect model (CEM) approach. The research results indicated that financial difficulties, firm size, and commissioners’ board lacked a major impact on profit control method. Furthermore, the size of commissioners’ board has also been shown not to play a role as a moderator on financial difficulties and the company size towards profit management. These findings suggest that the quantity of members of the commissioners’ board, the extent of the firm's assets, and financial pressures are not the main determinants in managers' decisions to manipulate profits. The assessment makes an important contribution to strengthening corporate governance standards and accounting practices, along with a source for investors and regulators in assessing aspects that impact the dependability and precision of financial statements.]]>
