The first test results obtained a significant level of 0,000 is smaller than 0,05 (0,000 < 0,05) meaning that the debt ratio affects financial distress. While the second test obtained a significant level of 0,108 is greater than 0,05 (0,108 > 0,05) which means that accounting conservatism is not able to moderate the ratio of debt and financial distress.
