This study also investigates the role of institutional ownership as a moderator on the effect of related party transactions on earnings management. This study uses agency theory to explain the relationship between variables. The research population consists of all manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The sample selection used a purposive method which produced 225 observational data. The analytical method used is moderation regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that partially related party transactions have a positive and significant effect on earnings management.
