Abstrak

Researchers in the study set out to the correlation between financial distress and the manipulation of financial statements using earnings management techniques. Additionally, it intends to uncover the connection between financial distress and earnings management. The Altman Z-score is applied for assessing financial situations. We apply the Beneish M-score and the modified Jones model to ensure timely implementation of earnings management strategies. The financial statements for the period 2018-2022 of 567 companies on the Indonesian Stock Exchange are used as a sample based on purposive sampling technique. The research uses Pearson's chi-square test, Cramer's V test, and correspondence analysis to test existing hypotheses. The outcomes of the research suggest that a connection exists between financial distress and earnings management practices. Furthermore, companies that are in the grey and healthy zones are more likely to manipulate. This research implies that financial and earnings management distress can be measured and detected by anyone so that the entire user of the financial report is not affected when there is fraud.
