“…In contrast, a range of studies depicted that large firms usually have up-to-date internal control systems, as a result, less likely to incur earnings management (Kim, Chung, & Firth, 2003;Chandra & Wimelda, 2018;Zouari, Lakhal, & Nekhili, 2015). Moreover, I also use some other factors as previous studies found ambiguous results regarding these variables, such as firm financial leverage (Chandra & Wimelda, 2018;Kordestani & Mohammadi, 2016;Lemma, Negash, Mlilo, & Lulseged, 2018), return on assets (Lopes, 2018;Laksmana & Yang, 2014); market to book ratio (El Guindy & Basuony, 2018); average operating cycle (Kordestani & Mohammadi, 2016); product market power (Datta, Iskandar-Datta, & Singh, 2013); loss dummy and External financing (Zhang, Uchida, & Dong, 2020); debt maturity structure (Lemma, Negash, Mlilo, & Lulseged, 2018); managerial ownership (Sumantri, Kusnawan, & Anggraeni, 2021;Al-Fayoumi, Abuzayed, & Alexander, 2010); lagged total accruals (Muttakin, Khan, & Azim, 2015;Koh, 2003); Tobin's Q (Muttakin, Khan, & Mihret, 2017). I present the variable definition in Table 2, and sketch the data and disclose descriptive statistics in the subsequent part.…”
