Abstract

Research Purposes. Objective of study is examining market efficiency in Indonesia under high interest rates issue.Research Methods. Observation period on Indonesia stock composite index starts from June 7, 2023 to February 29, 2024. Several procedures are applied in objective of hypothesis testing, which are: (1) mean difference test supported by Cohen's test and normality test by Anderson-Darling in terms of detecting how market returns differ in the two observation periods; (2) runs test runs test in terms of detecting the randomness of market returns after the risk-free rate; (3) ARIMA is supported by the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test in terms of detecting whether randomness is just noise (or white noise); and (4) variance ratio test in terms of confirming the results of runs test and ARIMA to determine whether the market returns are efficient or just a noise.Research Results and Findings. Consistent with efficient market hypothesis, findings show that the market condition during the effective interest rate period of 6% has higher returns, riskier, better risk-return trade-off, and less efficient. During that period, noise seemed to play a role in creating market gaps. This study concludes that monetary policy in maintaining high effective interest rates cannot determine whether the market is more efficient. As implication, the high effective interest rate tends not to result in a shift in investor behavior to allocate stock investments to risk-free assets. This study contributes to develop the finance and accounting science, especially in the fair presentation of financial information including investment decisions.

Abstract

Research Purposes. Technological advancement and globalization increase demand for flexible work arrangements, particularly remote working, which pose limitations and challenges to auditors in maintaining audit quality. The study aims to determine which domain of work-from-home setup significantly influences the audit quality of external auditors. Research Methods The study used quantitative research design and correlational techniques to test the relationship and significance of the variables. It was participated by CPAs in public practice who experienced remote auditing and employed the random sampling technique in selecting the respondents. The data were analyzed and interpreted using the mean, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation, and regressionResearch Results and Findings. The results concluded that the effectiveness of work-from-home setup and audit quality have a moderately strong, positive correlation. Only the propensity to work remotely and work-life balance significantly influenced the audit quality of external auditors. The findings imply that despite the physical absence and changes in processes, working from home can be an effective work setup in attaining and maintaining high-quality audits and has the potential to address the demand for flexible work arrangements if appropriately administered. The study suggests strengthening remote audits by creating and utilizing online tools for managing audit activities, such as submission of evidence, planning, and audit preparation.

The objective of this research is to ascertain how audit quality affects the value and relevancy of accounting data, where audit quality is proxied by audit company size, audit partner gender, audit fees, audit reporting delays, and auditor opinion.Research Methods The study examining the relationship between variables using a fixed-effects model focuses on 780 non-financial corporations registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2020 and 2021, chosen through non-probability-purposive-judgment sampling techniques.Research Results and Findings. The study's conclusions indicate that while audit fees and latency in reporting can decrease the value relevance of accounting information, public accounting firms associated with the Big Four and the presence of female audit partners can enhance it. Additionally, the auditor's opinion section yields some intriguing results, as it increases the relevance of book value while decreasing that of profit value.

Abstract

Research Purpose. This research aimed to gather empirical evidence on the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance Disclosure, related-party transactions, and executive characteristics on tax avoidance, with company size and company age as control variables. Research Method. Secondary data was analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. This research focuses on LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2022. The study includes a sample of 24 companies selected based on specific criteria through purposive sampling. Research Result and Findings. The findings reveal that Environmental, Social, and Governance Disclosure negatively impact tax avoidance; related-party transactions positively influence tax avoidance, while executive characteristics do not significantly affect tax avoidance. The model explains 38.8% of the tax variation, and the research implications support Agency Theory and Legitimacy Theory. The research implications, as such, suggest that companies make deliberate decisions on environmental, social, and governance disclosure and related-party transactions to improve their governance structures. This research also suggests that future researchers should provide additional factors such as deferred tax burden, dividend policy, or compensation for fiscal losses and test other objects such as the JII70 Index, IDX 80, or Kompas 100.

Unrealized earnings, although income is ephemeral as a result of adjustment to fair value, have value relevance. However, the degree of value relevance depends on the hierarchy of fair value inputs and the possibility of being realized. Unrealized earnings from level 1 inputs and plans to be realized are more predictive and more reacted to by the market than other types. Testing the effect of unrealized earnings based on the hierarchy of fair value inputs and potential to be realized on cumulative abnormal returns as a reflection of market reaction, and on the Altman Z-Score as a reflection of the predictive power of future performance.
