The sample technique used lis purposive sampling, and the analytical method as the basis for data processing is SPSS software. Thel results oflthe study found that earnings management has no effectlon firm value. The independence ofl the Boardl of Commissionersl and thel competence of the audit committeel also havel no effect onl earnings management. From this study, the only hypothesis that can be accepted is thatl audit quality hasl a significantl effect onl earnings management. Rejection of the hypothesisl can be influenced by several factors, including audit commissioners and audit committees with financial backgrounds that are only used to fulfill legal requirements. However, in practice, they need to be implemented properly or there is a conflict of interest in them
