The objective of this study is to examine the relevance of between financial soundness and Earning Management. The samples of this study selected from listed corporate, consist of 3,776 observations can be collected from 1999 to 2009 at TS2000. Financial soundness, which are used in data are profitability ratio, stability ratio, activity ratio, growth ratio, productivity ratio. Earning Management, which is dependent variable is measured by Book-Tax Difference. Meanwhile, the result of this study can be summerised in the following. First, profitability ratio(ROS, ROE) respectively have significant negative/positive relevance on Book-Tax Difference. Second, as expected, all stability ratio(LEV, FES, CI) have significant relevance on Book-Tax Difference. Third, activity ratio(RTR, TAT) don't have a significant relevance on Book-Tax Difference. Forth, growth ratio(GRS, GRTA) respectively have significant negative/positive relevance on Book-Tax Difference. Fifth, productivity ratio(CI, ADR) respectively have a significant negative/positive relevance on Book-Tax Difference. But this study have some limitation. Especially we can't explain the reason same financial index have a different relevance on the Book-Tax Difference, the measurement of earning management. So we think that following study needs.
