Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh keberadaan hubungan politik, proporsi komisaris independen dan kepemilikan manajerial sebagai mekanisme tata kelola perusahaan, dan struktur kepemilikan terhadap kemungkinan financial distress. Financial distress diukur menggunakan dua model yaitu Altman (1968) dan Springate (1978). Pengujian hipotesis dilakukan dengan regresi logistik menggunakan 196 perusahaan yang tercatat di Bursa Efek Indonesia dari tahun 2010 sampai dengan tahun 2013. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan bukti empiris bahwa perusahaan dengan hubungan hubungan politik, kepemilikan manajerial, dan kepemilikan blockholder berpengaruh secara negatif dan signifikan terhadap kemungkinan financial distress. Namun, komisaris independen tidak terbukti berpengaruh terhadap kemungkinan financial distress.
