This study used 36 data from basic industrial and chemical companies that had been selected using a purposive sampling method with a total of 108 data for three years. The data in this study uses secondary data, namely financial reports. This study uses Eviews 12 to process data and is tested by logistic regression analysis. The results showed that financial leverage and firm size had a significant effect on income smoothing while return on assets (ROA) had no significant effect on income smoothing. The implication of this research is for investors to avoid income smoothing practices by paying attention to the amount of financial leverage and company size. The selected company should have small financial leverage and for the company to be able to apply the principles of good governance so that the disclosure of financial statements avoids income smoothing practices so as to provide a good signal for investors.]]>
