The aim of this research is to test and analyze the effect of applying the Expected Loss Method on earnings quality in the context of the pandemic surrounding. The research sample consisted of 16 Islamic commercial banks registered with the Financial Services Authority for the 2019-2022. Using panel regression analysis techniques processed through STATA 18, this research measures earnings quality with discretionary loan loss provisions (DLLP). Control variables include liquidity, which is proxied by the financing-to ratio (FDR), efficiency by BOPO, and bank size by Ln Total Financing. The results show that the impact of EFL on earnings quality is positively significant. This means that the higher the implementation of EFL, the greater the increase in DLLP, which indicates a further decline in earnings quality. During the pandemic, DLLP 27.98 demonstrated a higher value compared to non-pandemic periods, indicating a decline in earning quality during that period. This research provides input for regulators in drafting regulations related to CKPN, which is prone to being used as an earnings management tool. For investors, these findings can help in evaluating bank performance to make better investment decisions.
