This research investigates whether dividend catering theory can provide the answer to explain phenomenon of dividend policy in Indonesia. The theory argues that the decision to pay dividends is driven by investors demand. Managers pay dividend when investors put a higher price on the shares of dividend payers and not paying when investors prefer non-dividend payers. Dividend premium is used as the proxy for the investor sentiment for dividend. The sample of this research is 337 non-financial firms listed within the Jakarta Stock Exchange, which is composed of 363 dividend announcements during the period 1999-2003. The correlation between catering incentives, measured by dividend premium, and the stock return shows a negative association between dividend premium and the stock return. Such a negative relationship might be caused by the relative growth opportunity of the firms showed by the decreasing number of dividend payers during period of observation.

This study aims to analyze the significance of Levinas’ perspective on the deliberative moral reasoning of accounting students when facing a grey area of ethics in a corporate accounting context. In a between-subjects experimental design, 36 undergraduate accounting students at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Gadjah Mada, were randomly assigned into two groups, which are a treatment group and a control group. The first group received a treatment of Levinas’ perspective, while the second received no treatment at all. However, both responded to the same four ethical dilemmas faced by corporate accountants designed to measure their deliberative moral reasoning. As expected, students in the treatment group exhibited significantly higher deliberative moral reasoning than those in the control group. This result thus suggests that Levinas’ perspective has significance in accounting students’ deliberative moral reasoning when facing a grey area of ethics in a corporate accounting scheme.

Abstract: This paper aims to comprehend the auditor’s responsibility in connection with discovering fraud and discuss the framework adopted in auditing standards. The responsibility for detecting fraud is arguably the most significant issue causing the expectation gap. Although auditors had direct responsibility for fraud detection in earlier periods of the auditing profession, this responsibility disappeared later on audit standards. The disappearance may result from an increase of institutional complexity faced by auditors, and thus standard setters may be finally on the favor of the auditors, compared to wider public interests. Standard setters attempt to help auditors by providing a model of fraud risk identification and assessment to assist with fraud detection in auditing standards. However, numerous empirical studies also find that the model does not help auditors in practice. Notwithstanding the expectation gap, a series of accounting scandals and fraud is a test for the effectiveness of the model. Otherwise, it may need to set back a greater auditors’ responsibility for detecting fraud, which is somehow impossible.Abstrak : Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memahami tanggung jawab auditor sehubungan dengan menemukan kecurangan dan mendiskusikan kerangka yang diadopsi dalam standar audit. Tanggung jawab untuk mendeteksi penipuan bisa dibilang masalah paling signifikan yang menyebabkan kesenjangan harapan. Meskipun auditor memiliki tanggung jawab langsung untuk mendeteksi penipuan pada periode awal profesi audit, tanggung jawab ini kemudian hilang pada standar audit. Hilangnya dapat terjadi akibat peningkatan kompleksitas kelembagaan yang dihadapi oleh auditor, dan dengan demikian penentu standar pada akhirnya dapat menguntungkan auditor, dibandingkan dengan kepentingan publik yang lebih luas. Penyusun standar berusaha membantu auditor dengan menyediakan model identifikasi dan penilaian risiko penipuan untuk membantu mendeteksi penipuan dalam standar audit. Namun, banyak studi empiris juga menemukan bahwa model tersebut tidak membantu auditor dalam praktiknya. Meskipun kesenjangan harapan, serangkaian skandal akuntansi dan kecurangan adalah ujian untuk keefektifan model. Jika tidak, mungkin perlu menetapkan tanggung jawab auditor yang lebih besar untuk mendeteksi penipuan, yang entah bagaimana tidak mungkin.

This study focuses on revealing the economic consequences of goodwill accounting regulation in Australia. It attempts to achieve three main purposes: (1) to reveal the relationship between bonus compensation plans and managers’ agreement/disagreement with Australian goodwill accounting standard, AASB 1013, (2) to examine the relationship between acquisition made by companies and managers’ agreement/disagreement with the accounting standard, and (3) to test whether there is a significant difference between managers’ and public accountants’ agreement/ disagreement with the standard. Data of this research were gathered through mail survey. Respondents participated include 80 accounting managers of publicly listed companies and 70 public accountants which, altogether, represent 50% response rate. The quantitative approach (independent sample t-test and ANOVA) is used to address the research questions. This study reveals that the goodwill accounting regulation in Australia has had economic consequences which have been evident by the finding that managers with bonus compensation plan showed greater disagreement (compared with managers without bonus compensation plan) in the duration of twenty years allowed to amortize goodwill. This is supported by further evidence that managers have shown significantly stronger disagreement with the goodwill standard compared to public accountants which were less likely to be affected by the goodwill accounting regulation.

The importance of user participation to improve user satisfaction in the systems development process has been widely recognized in the literature. However, the perspective has suffered from equivocal results of empirical test and the absence of a theoritical explanation for the relationship. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction effect of contigency factor — top management support and user-developer communication — on relationship between user participation and user satisfaction. As suggested in the literatur, this study test hypotheses that these specific contigency factors should aid in indentifying situation where user participation would have a strong relationship with satisfaction.This study based on the responses of 94 midle manager from different organizations. The result of the analysis indicated that user participation has a direct relationship with user satisfaction. In addition, the contingency factors were found to play key roles on this relationship. Top management support proved to be quasi moderator. In project where there was a high level of top management support, the relationship between user participation and user satisfaction was significantly stronger than in project where top management support was low. User-developer communication were shown to be independent predictor of user satisfaction. User developer communication was positively related to user satisfaction regardless of the level of participation.The result have implications to systems developers and to academicians seeking to explain how, when, why and where user participation is needed. It was also explained the relationship between user participation and user satisfaction by suggesting the nature of relationship under different sets of conditions. Keywords: User participation, user satisfaction, top management support, user-developer communication.

Indonesia has undergone years of reform of its Governmental Accounting System. A comprehensive framework is then needed to understand the overall process and results of the reform. With the help of the latest version of the internationally recognized model of Comparative International Governmental Accounting Research (CICAR), namely the Financial Management Reform Model (FMR), also called Lüder’s Contingency Model, this article attempts to find this big picture of “why is Indonesian national governmental accounting changing?”, “what factors influence the reform?”, “what are the reform concepts?”, “how is the reform implemented?”, and “what are the outcomes of the reform?”. This paper looks at the effects of Indonesian reformation of 1998 and its subsequent national governmental accounting changes until 2010. In this qualitative approach, a desk research technique is used to collect various printed and online data. A content analysis, which is more focused on the thematic analysis of text, is then employed in examining of related texts, government documents, publications, and regulations. The assessment of FMR Model with regard to the Indonesian national government has generally confirmed the elements found in the Contingency Theory while the overall condition is rather favorable for the current reform as well as for continuing to further stages. By highlighting various variables influencing governmental accounting reform in Indonesia, this initial research makes a contribution to Indonesian public accounting literature. Further comprehensive and detail research is highly recommended in order to have a comprehensive and clearer explanation of the reform.

This study examines the effect of decision makers’ cognitive and affective aspects in decision making, especially when a firm implementing Balanced Scorecard (BSC). Cognitive aspect deals with decision makers’ cognitive capabilities and characteristics in utilizing all kinds of BSC measures, including common and unique measures. Affective aspect deals with negative emotions that often present in interpersonal relationships. There were three hypotheses being tested in a laboratory experiment using 2x2x2x2 mixed-subjects design. One hundred and sixty eight Accountancy and Management graduate students from Gadjah Mada University were randomly assigned in one of eight treatment cells.The results show that common and unique measures do have statistically significant effects on performance evaluation judgment and bonus allocation, and decision makers place greater emphasis on common than unique measures. These findings consistent with prior research that suggest sample with BSC knowledge will be able to utilizing both kinds of BSC measures. Although there were no statistically significant support for affect effect, this study provide important evidences for the BSC adopters to consider the makers’ cognitive (and affective) aspects if they want to pursue effective Balanced Scorecard.

There is six hypothesis, compare cooperative's tax expense tests the first means between the presumptive and the regular taxation scheme. Multiple regression tests the second hypothesis until the sixth. The results show that the tax expense averages based on presumptive scheme less than that is subject to the regular system.The findings also show that the sum of the potential government revenue from the presumptive scheme less than from the regulation system. Furthermore, taxpayers' perceptions of the presumptive taxation model and accounting capability of the taxpayers have positive impact significantly on their preference to the presumptive taxation model; and the taxpayers' perceptions, accounting capability, and the preference to the presumptive taxation model have positive impact significantly on their taxpayers' voluntary compliance. All hypothesis proposed is supported by the empirical evidence. Abstrak: Skema perpajakan menurut Pemerintah 46 tahun 2013 diperuntukkan bagi wajib pajak tertentu tertentu yaitu wajib pajak yang memperoleh peredaran bruto tidak lebih dari Rp4,8 miliar per tahun.
