Good Corporate Governance on Stock Liquidity with Earnings Quality as an Intervening Variable
Good Corporate Governance, Stock Liquidity, Profit Quality
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Good corporate governance also has a good impact as a consideration for investment decisions for investors.
The study aims to find empirical evidence of the role of earnings quality as a mediator between corporate governance
(GCG) and stock liquidity, with samples of large-capitalization companies and small and medium-capitalization
companies.
The results of the study prove that corporate governance has a direct effect on stock liquidity, corporate
governance has an effect on profit quality both measured by accrual quality and profit predictability, profit quality
measured by accrual quality does not affect stock liquidity, but measured by profit predictability has an effect and
corporate governance mediated by profit quality measured by accrual quality has an effect on stock liquidity, but
measured by profit predictability indirectly cannot provide an effect.
The conclusion that corporate governance (GCG) is indirectly mediated by earnings quality is useful for
investors, especially in controlling managers to reduce the occurrence of agency problems and reduce the high level of
risk in investing, which will ultimately increase stock liquidity in the capital market
