The research sample of this study is a consumer goods industry which is listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange 2015-2017. Purposive sampling was used as a sampling method and obtained 108 samples. The analysis technique used is panel regression analysis with Stata 14. The results of this study indicate that each of financial distress, return on equity, and earnings per share has an effect on earnings management while profit margin and return on assets do not affect earnings management.
