Participation in the budgetary process does not only comes with a positive effect(s) but could also lead to negative behavior(s) of employees, one of which is the creation of budgetary slack. Previous studies said that information asymmetry is rated as one of the causes of the creation of budgetary slack. The purposes of this 3x2 factorial experimental study and between subject designs are to see the effect of information asymmetry on the budgetary slack and see whether information asymmetry and self-efficacy leads to the creation of budgetary slack. This study involved 65 undergraduate and postgraduate students from the accounting department of Economics and Business Faculty in Universitas Airlangga Surabaya as participants. One way ANOVA and two- way ANOVA is used to test and analyze the proposed hypothesis. Results show that information asymmetry influences the creation of budgetary slack. However, production managers with high or low self-efficacy are still taking advantage of asymmetric information that happened to do budgetary slack.

Whistleblowing has become an important issue at the organization recently because it enables individuals to disclose any regulation’s errors in the organization to their superior. Whistleblowing could be caused by several factors, one of which is organizational justice. The organizational justice consists of distributive justice and procedural justice. The objective of this research is to examine the causality of organizational justice to whistleblowing intention. This research was conducted with 2x2 between-subjects experimental design. The results show that when an individual is faced with fair distributive justice or fair procedural justice, they have the tendency to whistle the fraud. When an individual is faced with unfair procedural justice and fair distributive justice, they also tendto whistle the fraud.

This research aims to investigate variables affecting board size in public companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) and optimum board size which maximizes firm’s value measured by Price to Earnings Ratio (PER), Price to Book Value (PBV), and Tobin’s Q. Using 4,379 observations from 2007 to 2015 of IDX data, this research finds that liquidity, solvability, activity, and profitability affect board size significantly in quadratic form. In addition, it is suggested that the optimum board size for small companies is four directors while the size for big companies is six to seven directors.

Using Agency theory, this research aims to examine the factors that potentially influence the level of disclosure within financial statements in Indonesian provincial governments including Human Development Index (HDI), Liabilities, General Allocated Fund (GAF), and Provincial Original Revenue (POR). This research is very important because Indonesia has recently undergone major governmental financial reform and is seeking to greatly enforce its financial accounting transparency. The objects of this research are 99 financial statements from 33 Indonesian provinces in the period of 2014 to 2016. The level of disclosure is measured using a 34 item index derived from Indonesian Government Accounting Standards. Regression analysis shows that Human Development Index (HDI) and General Allocated Fund (GAF) are positive and significant predictors of the level of disclosure within financial statements of Indonesian provincial govern- ments. These results can be used by Indonesian government as a potential information in making government policy related to financial transparency at provincial level.

Depositors, investors, as well as public in general need easily accessible indicators that are important to differentiate various banks. This research addresses simultaneously two important issues: analyzing and identifying which key publicly available financial indicators of banks are important, as well as approximating the weight of the aforementioned indicators when banks’ comparisons are to be made. Utilizing the recent 2017 database from 90 conventional banks, this study analyzes 17 banking ratios using the method of principal component analysis. The calculations show that five components explain around 75 percent of total variation in the data. Those five components represent indicators on profitability, quality of capital, quality of loans, fee-based activities, and liquid assets in the balance sheets. Further, by combining five principal components, the result shows that even small banks can achieve good financial performances.

This research examines whether time budget pressure affect professional scepticism and if so, whether the affect is mediated by auditor independency. A web-based survey is used in deploying and delivering questionnaires to 163 auditors from big four and non-big four in Jakarta. The result shows that auditor independency (AI) is partially mediated the relationship between time budget pressure (TBP) and professional scepticism (PS). Which means, external auditor in Jakarta who experiencing high time pressure will tend to decrease their independency and resulted a low scepticism. Seeing this result, this study suggests by increasing number of audit team member, set the number of minimum supporting evidence and having supervisor to monitor auditor’s job, will help to minimize the negative effect of time pressure.

Income smoothing (IS) practice is "the smoothing of fluctuations company income levels that are considered normal for company". IS manipulation has a clear goal, which is to generate income flows that continue increase stably. There are several ways that companies can use to do IS practice for example: changes in accounting methods. In this research, income smoothing practices of Indonesian listed manufacturing firms were detected through empirical tests using changes in discretionary accounting (DAC). Samples of listed manufacturing companies classified as smoothing and non-smoothing using Moses smoothing behavior index. The results show that the possible motivation of DAC transactions is income smoothing. Two independent variables such as institutional ownership and external audit quality have a significant positive effect on IS practice but the company size has no influence on IS practice.

The sample of this study includes 52 non-financial firms within a four-year period, from 2010-2011 and 2013-2014, with 208-year observations. Hypothesis testing is conducted by multiple linear regression analysis.

This research aims to test the influence of tax sanction and obedience pressure on tax compliance. By applying a 2x2 between-subject factorial experiment method, this research has found the empirical evidence that taxpayers tend to be more tax-compliant when the tax sanction is high rather than low. Next, when taxpayers tend to be more non-compliant when they receive obedience pressure from their superior rather than not. Lastly, from the interaction test between tax sanction and obedience pressure variables, the researcher found empirical evidence that shows that, when given high tax sanctions, a taxpayer will have higher tax compliance rate when they do not receive obedience pressure compared with when they receive obedience pressure. This research has a practical implication that obedience pressure from a superior is a key that could potentially reduce tax compliance rate because, although there are low or high sanctions, if there are any obedience pressure, then the tax compliance rate will be low.
