Abstract

This research aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of financial leverage, profitability, cash holding, and firm value towards income smoothing. Income smoothing is a company’s effort to make earnings less volatile significantly. Stable earnings can be used as a basis for decision-making by stakeholders, while for the company itself, it’s useful for maintaining business continuity and management performance.

The results of this research are (1) financial leverage has no effect towards income smoothing, (2) profitability has a significant negative effect towards income smoothing, (3) cash holding has no negative effect towards income smoothing, (4) firm value has a significant positive effect towards income smoothing. Financial leverage, profitability, cash holding, and firm value simultaneously have a significant effect towards income smoothing
