Financial leverage significantly affects changes in financial distress in a negative manner while profitablity positively affects chnages in financial distress. To better explore the relationship between the two study varibles, a cubic regression was performed revealing different directions in the effect of accounting conservatism and formulating a model that can predict the effect of chnages in degrees of accounting conservatism on changes in the levels of financial distress using study control variables.
