Abstract

Objective This research focuses on manufacturing companies with high growth rates, as measured by the Tobins'Q proxy. The high growth of a company is closely related to higher agency costs, compared to companies with low growth rates. We investigate the influence of the board of commissioners, directors, audit committees, bid-ask spreads on the high agency costs of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The indicator of agency costs in this study are the EXPR and AUR ratios. Design/methodology The population of this study are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Purposive random sampling resulted 111 samples of companies with high growth rates. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis. The first analysis with EXPR independent variable and the second analysis with AUR independent variable, both variables could be used as agency cost indicators. Results The result reveals that the board of commissioners and directors have a positive effect on the agency costs, which are measured by the EXPR and AUR ratios while the audit committee has a negative significant effect on the high agency costs as measured by the EXPR ratio. Moreover, bid-ask spread as a control variable has a significant positive effect on AUR. The presence of monitoring quality, pressure, reputation of the board of commissioners and audit committee will reduce the types of management policy which may increase agency conflict.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of fixed asset administration in Aceh Singkil Government. A qualitative approach was used in this study and the sample was determined by using purposive sampling. Data source of this study is primary data. Triangulation technique was used to collect data using observation of asset administration documents, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques of triangulation. In general, the results showed that the implementation of fixed asset administration in Aceh Singkil Government was still in poor criteria. This is supported by BPK's findings on the annual audit of the Aceh Singkil LKPD. Although Aceh Singkil Governmenthave obtained the WTP opinion, there are some notes on fixed assets administration that must be addressed by the Government of Aceh Singkil. Another finding is the lack of a good internal control system of fixed assets administration in the Government of Aceh Singkil. Furthermore, several factors that support and prevent the administration of fixed assets in Aceh Singkil Regency Government were found. The factors that support fixed assets administration include; an adequate understanding of the apparatus, a good ability of BMD management apparatus to operate computers, a good incentive system for BMD management apparatus, and enactment of regional regulations/qanun as the basic law to implement the government commitments of Aceh Singkil in fixing the administration of fixed assets, BPKs routine audits, and developments in communication technology. On the other hand, factors that hinder fixed assets administration include; incomplete fixed asset data, insufficient BMD management officers in OPDs who have many fixed assets and wide distributions, human resource development opportunities for BMD management officers are still very low, and a poor internal control system. The results of this study are expected to be useful for Aceh Singkil Regency Government to improve fixed assets administration.

Abstract

Objective The paper is aimed at examining the relationship between government tax revenue, non-tax revenue and government expenditure in Nigeria. Design/methodology Quantitative research design was employed. Secondary data were collected from Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin, World Bank, World Data Atlas and Federal Inland Revenue Service. The study covers the period of 2010 to 2018. Meanwhile descriptive statistics was used to analyzed the data.Results The findings of the study discovered that, there is a relationship between government revenue and government expenditure, and the Nigerian government revenue and expenditure is in line with the spend-and-revenue hypothesis. That is government revenue only respond to previous changes in expenditure. Thus, government is expected to generate enough tax revenue to enable it meet government expenses as revenue from oil is decreasing. This signifies that whenever there is high government expenditure, it is required that government must raise higher revenue, and in Nigeria, government expenditure is always higher than the revenue resulting to budget deficit. In addition, tax revenue was found to have been increasing even though at a slower rate.Limitation/Suggestion - The study recommends that Nigerian government should cut down current expenditures on wages, acquisition of goods and services that are unnecessary and increase capital expenditure. Increase in capital expenditures on education, infrastructures and health care will boast the economic activity and which will in turn increases government tax revenue.
