The factors tested in this study are debt to equity ratio, profitability, ownership structure, auditor quality, and auditor turnover. The sample of this study uses 100 manufacturing companies that are consistently listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2015-2017 period which were taken using the purposive sampling method. These factors were then tested using logistic regression at a significance level of 5 percent.
