The objective of the study is to examine the effect of auditors reputation and Board of Commissionersâ independence in improving earnings informativeness. Previous studies suggest that earnings management activities are reflected in abnormal accruals contained in financial statements. In this study, earnings informativeness is measured by the ability of abnormal accruals to predict next years net income. As the quality of abnormal accruals increased, the predictive content of abnormal accruals is also increased. Using regression analysis, results of the study can be summarized as follows: first, abnormal accruals of company with independent Board of Commissioners has a strong correlation with the earnings one year ahead compared to companies that do not have an independent Board of Commissioners. Second, abnormal accrual of a company that has auditors affiliated with the Big Four has a strong correlation with the earnings one year ahead than firms that auditors are not affiliated with the Big Four accounting firm. Overall, results of the study suggest Board of Commissioners and external auditors play an important role in improving the quality of reported earnings.

Meanwhile, the institutional ownership is predicted to reduce real earnings management. Firmsâ samples are from Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2007-2010. Hypothesis testing is performed by multiple linear regression. The result findings are summarized as follows: 1) independence of the board of commissioners is inversely related to real earnings management, 2) firms having independent members who are also a member of board of commissioners in another company have higher real earnings management than firms with independent board that had not served same position in other companies, 3) institutional ownership negatively effect real earnings management, 4) managerial ownership negatively effect real earnings management.

The church as a non-profit oriented entity accepts donations to fund its service activities and donors do not expect a comparable return of economic benefits. Legitimacy theory can be used to explain the position of the church which has a social contract with the people so that it is still necessary to make accountability. Interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards 35 as a substitute for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 45 is a guideline for non-profit oriented entities to present financial statements, including churches. This study aims to explore the understanding of church managers on the components of financial statements and their usefulness. This study is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach with five church administrators informants on the implementation of ISAK 35 as of January 1, 2020. The method used in this study used interviews with in-depth interviews. The analysis technique in the study after conducting the interview was transcription, description and interpretation of the data obtained. The results showed that the guidelines used to prepare the financial statements of PSAK 45. Other results, the informants already had a basic understanding, namely being able to mention the main accounts in each financial report and provide an explanation of their use, except for the cash flow statement because this report is not a component of financial statements that served. The existing financial reports are sufficient to be used as a basis for church management, starting from planning, controlling and making decisions.

This study examines the motives for earnings management following a series of regulation released by the Capital Market Supervisory Agency and Indonesian Stock Exchange in 2004. After the release of SK Bapepam-LK and BEJ, this study predicts that the negative effect of board of commissioners on abnormal accruals is more pronounced and the predictive content of abnormal accruals is stronger than previous periods. Results of the study are summarized as follows. First, the negative effect of the board of commissioners on earnings management is stronger after the isssuance of SK Bapepam-LK and BEJ. Second, the predictive content of abnormal accruals is stronger for periods 2004-2010 than that for 2001-2003. Third, the addition of independent members to become majority in the board of commissioner does not alter the predictive content of accruals. Overall, the results indicate that SK Bapepam-LK and BEJ have successfully increased the monitoring function of board of commissioners. This paper contributes to the current debates in earnings management studies regarding the motivation for earnings management (signaling versus private gain). In addition, the evidence indicates the inconsistent results of previous earnings management studies in Indonesia with respect to the role of independent commissioners stem from the passage of regulation on corporate governance that took place in 2004.

This study examines the effect of managerial characteristics on investment efficiency. More specifically managerial capabilities, reputation and its interaction effect are expected to increase investment efficiency. For the test of hypothesis, firms were selected from Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015-2019. The results show that reputation is not significantly associated with investment efficiency. Meanwhile, managerial ability (proxied by MBA/MM degree) is negatively related to investment efficiency at a significance level of 1%. The findings show that companies run by managers with good skills and knowledge tend to be less efficient. In addition, the interaction variable is positively related to investment efficiency at a significance level of 1%. Prior to the inclusion of interaction variable, the result shows that firms with high managerial reputation are more likely to manage assets efficiently which leads to higher investment efficiency. Managerial skills are either insignificantly associated or negatively associated with investment efficiency. When the interaction variable is included into regression model, the relationship between managerial reputation and investment efficiency becomes insignificant but managerial ability turns out to be highly significant. The practical implication of this study is that public companies in Indonesia should consider more on managerial reputation rather than their educational degree.

Prior studies show that earnings attributes were influenced by characteristics of audit firms hired by clients. Big Four audit firms were reported to have developed working rules to assess accounting standards used by firms in preparing financial reports and consistently applied these working rules across all clients. Unique audit methodology and procedures create audit style that belongs to particular audit firm, especially Big Four audit firms. As a consequence, financial statements audited by the same Big Four audit firms experience similar audit processes and show higher consistency than those of firms audited by different Big Four audit firms. Applying the same audit style is expected to increase financial statements comparability between two companies audited by the same Big Four audit firms. Therefore, a pair of companies audited by the same audit firms is predicted to have more comparables earnings than audited by different Big Four audit firms. Results supported the hypothesis that audit style improves financial statements comparability of firms audited by same Big Four audit firms.

This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the auditing activities of Indonesian public companies. During a pandemic auditing activities are predicted to affect the auditor's opinion regarding going concern, audit delay, audit opinion, and the decision to use Big-4 versus non-Big-4 auditors. A sample was selected from tourism and manufacturing companies from 2018-2021 due to the severe impact of COVID-19 on these two sectors. The results of the quantitative analysis show that: 1) Auditors issued more going-concern opinions during the Covid-19 pandemic. 2) Auditors spent more time completing auditing tasks during the Covid-19 pandemic. 3) The number of qualified opinions was relatively similar in the pre-pandemic period and during the Covid-19 pandemic. 4) Clients using Big-4 KAPs decreased during the pandemic. In addition, the content analysis shows: 1) More going concern audit opinions should have been issued during the pandemic than currently available. Some auditors seem to deliberately not mention explicitly the impact of Covid 19 on the continuity of the company. 2) Only a small number of companies disclose the impact of Covid 19 on the company's financial performance.

Stock price synchronicity refers to the extent to which firm-specific information is absorbed in stock prices relative to market-wide information. If return variations are more synchronized with market information, then stock price synchronicity decreases which is indicating lower quality of financial reports. This research examines the effect of asset valuation methods, auditor quality, characteristics of the Board of Commissioners and the Audit Committee on the synchronicity of stock price of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020-2022. A total of 490 observations were available for hypothesis testing. The results show that the quality of the auditor and the size of the Board of Commissioners have negative effects on stock price synchronicity. On the other hand, the asset valuation method, the independence of the Board of Commissioners and the Audit Committee have no effect on stock price synchronicity of. The practical contribution of this research is that companies need to consider hiring more commissioners and Big Four accounting firms to increase the credibility of financial reports.
