This study aims to analyze the effect of corporate governance on the relationship between board involvement in politics and earnings management in manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This study used 63 manufacturing companies which were selected using purposive sampling method. The data analysis method used is multiple regression which is processed through the help of the SPSS program. Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it was found that the board of commissioners involved in politics had a significant positive effect on earnings management. Meanwhile, the board of directors with political connections and corporate governance individually has a significant negative effect on earnings management. In the results of hypothesis testing, it is also found that the board of commissioners and the board of directors who have political connections have a significant effect on earnings management with corporate governance as a moderating variable in manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results of this study found that the implementation of corporate governance will have a different impact on the relationship between the board of commissioners and the board of directors on earnings management. In the relationship between the board of commissioners and earnings management, corporate governance is able to weaken earnings management activities. Meanwhile, in the relationship between the board of directors and earnings management, corporate governance can strengthen earnings management activities.

It is an effective expansion of the research on the Board of Directors to do the research based on different board meeting forms and their effects sampling A-share companies listed in 2007–2017, the article empirically tests the impact of the times of board meetings, the proportion of on-site board meetings on listed companies’ over-investment. Consequently and significantly, the times of board meetings is positively correlated with over-investment, while the proportion of on-site board meetings is negatively correlated with over-investment. That is, the on-site meeting for the Board decision-making will better inhibit the enterprises’ over-investment behaviors. Further research shows that when there is a controlling shareholder in the company or in a dual position, the on-site board meeting no longer has a significant inhibitory effect on over-investment. By research on the independence of the Board of Directors, it is found that when selecting on-site board decision-making, the existence of independent directors has an over-investment suppression effect, and the higher the proportion of independent directors, the more obvious the inhibitory effect is. The samples are divided into state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, the study found that when choosing on-site board meetings, state-owned enterprises have a greater inhibitory effect on over-investment than private enterprises. The findings of this study will enrich the research of the board meeting and provide a new testing method for the relevant research of the Board of Directors.
