Unfortunately, many gaps in financial reporting that can provide space for management to commit earnings management. This study aims to prove the difference in earnings management in the Q1 of 2020, namely the period after the COVID-19 pandemic with the Q1 of 2019, namely the period before the COVID-19 pandemic.
