Results indicate that audit committee size is able to moderate relation of information asymetry and earnings management, but board of commisioner composition and board of commisioner size are unable to moderate the link between information asymetry and earnings management. This is possible because every company often formed board of commisioner only for obeying the regulations which every company should have board of commisioner.
