Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of capital structure, information asymmetry, and free cash flow on earnings quality. Capital structure is measured by the debt ratio, information asymmetry is proxy by the measure of liquidity, and free cash flow is measured by the FCF ratio. The hypothesis in this study is that capital structure affects earnings quality, information asymmetry affects earnings quality, and free cash flow affects earnings quality, and simultaneously influences the capital structure, information asymmetry, and free cash flow on earnings quality. The sample in this study is Consumer Non-Cyclicals listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange which publishes financial reports consecutively for the 2017–2021 period. Determination of the sample in this study using the purposive sampling method. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression analysis using eviews software. The results of this study indicate that capital structure has no effect on earnings quality, information asymmetry has no effect on earnings quality, free cash flow has effect on earnings quality but capital structure, information asymmetry, and free cash flow simultaneously have an effect on earnings quality.
