This study used the financial data from the companies that are registered in Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015-2019. The total 1,749 data were tested using multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that board independence has significantly positive effect, while firm size have negatively significant effect on earnings management when the relationship is moderated by board gender diversity. The other variables do not show significant results.
