Abstract

This study revisits the effectiveness of the audit committee independence and expertise in preventing earnings management practices.  Studies in other studies with relatively stricter regulations showed the audit committee independence was effective to prevent earnings management.  On the contrary, studies in Indonesia were arguably outdated and shorter in period.  This study was conducted on Indonesian listed-manufacturing companies from 2009 to 2015. It used two earnings management model such as Modified Jones Model and Performance-Adjusted Modified Jones Model. The results showed that audit committee independence is effective to prevent earnings management practices.  However, it was found that audit committee expertise did not affect earnings management practices.  The results are consistent for both earnings management models. Although majority of the audit members in Indonesian listed manufacturing companies are experts in accounting and finance, the existence of those expert members did not affect the companies to engage or not engage in earnings management practices.  However, the accounting and/or financial expertise does not determine the effectiveness of the audit committee’s monitoring role.

Abstract

This study examines whether environmental performance has value relevance by investigating the relations between environmental emissions and stock prices for the U.S. public companies. The previous studies argued that the conjectured relations between accounting performance measures and environmental performance do not have a strong theoretical basis, and the modeling of relations between market per-formance measures and environmental performance do not adequately consider the relevance of accounting performance to market value. Therefore, this study examines whether publicly reported environmental emissions provide incremental information to accounting earnings in pricing companies stocks. It is done among the complete set of industries covered by Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting for the period 2007 to 2010. Using Ohlson model but modified to include different types of emis-sions, it is found that ground emissions (underground injection and land emissions) are value relevant but other emission types (air and water and transferred-out emis-sions) appear to not provide incremental information in the valuation model. The result in this study raise concerns that different types of emissions are assessed differently by the market, confirming that studies should not aggregate such measures.
