Abstract

Research aims: This study examines the association of tax aggressiveness and earnings management practices using the accrual and real transaction-based earnings management.Design/Methodology/Approach: We use a purposive sampling method from the manufacturing industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2013 to 2017 and obtain a final sample of 500 firm-year observations. Data analysis is conducted using multiple regression models and Stata software.Research findings: Our study finds strong evidence that tax aggressiveness has a positive association with accrual earnings management. Our study also finds contrary evidence that tax aggressiveness has a negative association with real transaction activities at the aggregate level. Further testing found a negative relationship between tax aggressiveness and real transactions at the individual level, i.e., sales manipulation and reduction in discretionary expenses, consistent with our main findings. Theoretical contribution/Originality: Our study extends previous studies on the association of tax aggressiveness using tax shelter prediction model, and aggressive financial reporting using accrual and real transaction-based earnings management. We use tax prediction model in this study as the highest level of tax aggressiveness which is rarely performed in the case of Indonesia.Practitioner/Policy implication: The results of this study provide the implication that to achieve the objectives of aggressive tax reporting and aggressive financial reporting in the same reporting period, managers use accrual and real transaction-based earnings management tools as complementary or substitution to each other.Research limitation/Implication: This study uses Wilson’s (2009) tax shelter prediction model as a proxy of the highest level of tax aggressiveness

Abstract

Research aims: The annual increase in the number of female auditors in partner positions has been particularly pronounced in Southeast Asian countries, with Thailand being a notable example. This study, thus, investigates the quality of female audit partners compared to male audit partners in terms of how clients manage earnings.Design/Methodology/Approach: The researchers hand-collected gender data of audit partners from the audit reports of all listed firms on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and obtained 424 firm-year observations. The researchers applied two models to test the hypotheses, using cross-sectional time-series OLS and logistic regression data analyses. The researchers also performed additional analyses and robustness checks to support the main tests.Research findings: The study revealed no substantial disparity in the female and male auditors’ quality at the partner levels, as measured by accrual earnings management and earnings distribution approaches. The findings indicate that female and male audit partners have similar audit quality in preventing earnings management and earnings benchmark likelihood. The study adds to the existing research in East (Southeast) Asia, showing that female partners in these countries have audit quality that is at least comparable to male partners.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The researchers extend prior studies on the behavior distinction in audit quality of the auditor gender at the partner level, which is under-researched in Southeast Asia.Practitioner/Policy implication: The study has important implications for stakeholders and standard-setters to keep strengthening female leadership in the auditing industry and promoting higher gender parity in the growing industry of the future.
