Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to analyze the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on earnings management practices among companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). It explores how ESG transparency influences corporate financial reporting behavior. Research Method - This study uses data from Thomson Reuters, covering 86 IDX-listed companies that disclosed ESG information during the 2019-2023 period. Findings - It revealed that ESG disclosure in the environmental and social dimensions is found to reduce earnings management practices, while governance disclosure shows no significant effect. Companies with higher revenue levels are more effective in leveraging ESG disclosure to enhance transparency. Implication - This study offers a novel contribution by examining the influence of ESG disclosure on earnings management in Indonesia, while also considering company revenue levels as a comparative factor. The findings hold important policy and practical implications, especially for regulators and corporate management, in understanding the broader impact of ESG practices on the integrity of financial reporting.

Abstract

Research aims: This study aims to analyze the impact of CEO narcissism on the correlation between asset revaluation and acquisition performance, focusing on how narcissistic traits improve the efficiency of asset revaluation in corporate decision-making.Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employs Partial Least Squares methodology within Structural Equation Modeling to analyze secondary data from Indonesian companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2017 and 2021. The sample is limited to companies engaged in merger and acquisition activities during the observation period. Following the selection criteria, the final sample consists of 51 eligible firms.Research findings: The findings indicate that revaluing assets improves companies’ financial position and market perception. Additionally, the impact is heightened by CEO narcissism, as narcissistic CEOs use their confidence and propensity for risk-taking to capitalize on asset revaluation for aggressive acquisition tactics. It leads to improved company performance, especially in mergers and acquisitions.Theoretical contribution/ Originality: This study contributes theoretically by extending the application of signalling theory and the resource-based view. It positions CEO narcissism as a strategic signal influencing acquisition performance through asset revaluation. The study adds to existing research on corporate leadership and financial strategy, providing valuable perspectives for scholars and professionals in management and corporate finance.Practitioner/Policy implication: The study indicates that corporations gain advantages by choosing CEOs with narcissistic characteristics, as they are more inclined to employ asset revaluation to pursue ambitious acquisition opportunities strategically. The results suggest that firms may benefit from leadership that strategically leverages narcissistic traits to enhance corporate restructuring outcomes.Research Limitations/Implications: The limitation of this study is its focus on Indonesian companies, which potentially restricts the generalizability of the results to different regions or markets.
