Abstract:

Earnings management practice related to a variety incentives to maximize firms’ value or to increase manager welfare. Many researchers focused on 3 main incentives for earnings management practice, as explained in positive accounting theory, that were incentive to decrease cost of debt covenant default, maximize bonus and reduce political cost (Watts & Zimmerman, 1986). However, the earnings management would exist if management had incentive and opportunity to do so (Trueman & Titman, 1988; Christensen, et al., 1999).  The objective of this research was to investigate external auditor quality as factor to constraining earnings management by managers. Analysis was based on 111 publicly manufacturing firms in Indonesian Stock Exchange period 2005 up to 2008. The result showed that the high level of firms’ debt motivated manager to practice more earnings management. However, the level of earnings management was lower when the quality of auditor external work was higher. The results of these researches contributed to accounting literature development especially in corporate governance. Qualified auditor, one of monitoring aspects, had function as good corporate governance mechanism for reducing management practice to manage earnings which would be costly for financial statement users.

Key words: earnings management, positive accounting theory, external auditor quality, corporate governance.

 Abstract:

This research investigated whether accounting earnings of manufacture corporations listed on Indonesia Capital Market were managed decreasing in response to Income Tax Reform Act of 2008. To find income decreasing, earning management evidence would use total accruals Jones modification model (Dechow et al., 1995). Total accruals would be classified to discretionary accruals and non discretionary accruals. Our empirical tests found significantly negative discretionary accruals in 2008. This result showed that there was income decreasing earning management in financial statement 2008 of manufacture corporations listed on Indonesia Capital Market. Our study also found that these negative discretionary accruals were negatively associated with levels of debt, but there was no relation with corporate size.

 Key words: earning management, income decreasing, income increasing, accounting earning.

The result showed that control function from the ownership did determine improving corporate performance. Managerial ownership, board of commissioner, and commissioner independent did not affect corporate.

Abstract:
Voluntary disclosure meant giving information to public either about financial or non-financial regarding the firm’s operations without any legal requirement (Fishman and Hagerty, 1997). Giving information about voluntary disclosure enables all the concerned parties obtaining more relevant information about the strategies and critical elements of the firms. In this study, we examined the impact of corporate governance and financial distress condition on the level of voluntary information disclosure. This research used a sample of manufacture firms listed in Indonesian stock exchange. Based on data processing using sample above, we found that corporate governance and financial distress could be associated with the voluntary disclosure level.

Key words:  voluntary disclosure, corporate governance, financial distress.
