High cash receipts and low expenditures become a profitable difference in the company's cash flow statement, the more vulnerable there is fraud committed by internal parties. The free cash flow or known as the free cash flow surplus for the company is for the development and reserves for repayment of debt that has not been repaid but is different from the objective of the investor as an additional return on the investment they give to the company, with this difference will lead to more imbalanced information given by the company to investors. To prevent fraudulent cash flow surpluses from occurring freely, an independent committee was formed whose purpose was to audit the performance of earnings management. This study aims to determine the magnitude of the effect of free cash flow surplus and auditor quality used with Big4 and Non Big4 audit measures, leverage, company size and relative cash flows from all mining sector companies that are now the trend of conversation in various corruption cases on earnings management in Indonesia.
