This research purposes to ascertain how corporate governance, auditor quality, and profit persistence affect cost of debt. The information used in this study comes from the annual reports of non-financial sector state-owned companies that were included on the IDX between 2017 and 2022. Purposive sampling was used to choose the sample for this investigation, yielding up to 52 data points from a total of 102 data points. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed in this study's data analysis. The findings revealed that corporate governance has a negative impact on the cost of debt whereas earnings persistence has a positive impact. Meanwhile, the quality of auditors has no influence on the cost of debt.
