Abstract

Research aims: This study aims to examine the effect of audit committees, independent commissioners, and the presence of women on boards, such as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, on earnings management practices.Design/Methodology/Approach: This research used a quantitative method with a final panel data sample of 25 companies in the manufacturing sector for three years from 2020 to 2022. Hypothesis testing employed the regression model with the Common Effect Model (CEM) test. Sampling was conducted using secondary data on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and each company's website.Research findings: The results of the study demonstrated that independent commissioners, independent audit committees, audit committee expertise, audit committee activities, and audit committee size yielded a significant effect on earnings management practices, while female CEOs and female CFOs had no significant impact on earnings management practices.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research develops a theory that previously did not exist; in this research, the authors used asymmetric information theory to test the independent and dependent variables. Additional variables by suggestions in previous research are provided; therefore, it is hoped that this can strengthen the results of prior research. Practitioner/Policy implication: The practical implication of this research is that the existence of an independent audit committee with a positive influence on earnings management can improve the company's financial performance, make it easier for managers or internal company parties to make better decisions in the future, and meet performance targets set by other parties, such as investors and creditors. Profit management can also be used to obtain tax benefits. During the previous pandemic, the government implemented tax compensation for taxpayers who met the criteria.

Abstract

Research aims: Fair value accounting, fairness, and transparency are the basis for other comprehensive income (OCI), profit, and equity attributable. This research aims to analyze the impact of adding this information on external audit fees, considering that the content of financial reports becomes more extensive with a longer format.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study tested the influence of aggregate OCI, OCI to be reclassified, profit and equity attributable, and control variables (size, ROA, leverage, period, type of industry) on audit fees in 238 companies registered on IDX in all business sectors for the 2015-2021 period with data 1,666 observations.Research findings: Additional information on OCI, profits, and equity attributable has been proven to influence external audit fees because the inherent properties of OCI, such as the level of management subjectivity, sensitivity to externals, high volatility and exposure, as well as the complexity of the holding company reflecting the attribution value, could increase audit work and audit risk in assessing the fairness of OCI presentation and attribution.Theoretical contribution/ Originality: This study provides empirical evidence in Indonesia on how OCI disaggregation (reclassification), profit, and equity attributable affect external audit fees.Practitioner/Policy implication: For management, it can be an input in predicting the amount of audit fees, and for external auditors, it can be a consideration in determining the amount of audit fees by taking into account additional audit procedures due to OCI and profit attribution.Research limitation/Implication: The limitation of this research is that in measuring OCI reclassification, it only included the holding company, while OCI in subsidiaries and associations was not involved.

Abstract

Research aims: This study aims to analyze the influence of Sharia stock literacy and risk factors on Sharia stock investment decisions with behavioral bias as an intervening variable.Design/Methodology/Approach: The population was investors in East Java Province who invested in Sharia stock. The sample for this research was 500 respondents. The analysis employed was the Structural Equation Model.Research findings: The impact of Sharia stock literacy on both Sharia stock literacy and investor behavioral bias was positive. Sharia stock investment decisions were adversely impacted by risk factors. Additionally, risk factors had a detrimental impact on investor behavioral bias. Behavioral bias yielded a favorable impact on the decision-making process for investing in Sharia-compliant stocks. Through behavioral bias, Sharia stock literacy positively affected Sharia stock investment decisions. Meanwhile, risk factors obtained a negative effect on Sharia stock investment decisions through behavioral bias.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research contributes to Sharia stock investment decisions and provides empirical evidence of Sharia stock investment decisions concerning Sharia stock literacy, risk factors, and behavioral biases.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research contributes to investors' ability to determine investment decisions in Sharia stock.Research limitation/Implication: The limitation of this research is that independent variables only used two components of Sharia stock investment decision, i.e., Sharia stock literacy and risk factors. Hence, the level of influence of the independent variables on the dependent was small.

Abstract

Research aims: This research focuses on testing the influence of implementing strategies by the company, the influence of information asymmetry that occurs between parties in the organization, and the incentive system applied in the organization to its employees.Design/Methodology/Approach: Computerized experimental research was conducted using a 2x2x2 mixed-subject research design, where there were two between-subject variables and one within-subject variable. Participants in this research were employees of family business companies involved in preparing the company budget. This test used the ANOVA analysis tool with Repeated Measurement.Research findings: This research provides results that the information asymmetry variable had a positive effect on the emergence of budgetary slack, while the variables of strategy, incentive scheme, and the interaction of each variable have not proven to influence the emergence of budgetary slack.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The experimental findings support the agency problem that arises from information asymmetry.Practitioner/Policy implication: By using practitioners conditioned in specific budgeting situations in experimental budget studies, this research provides practical implications for budgeting problems in business practice. In particular, it provides an overview of the factors that can influence budget gaps, and in this case, a business can condition its efforts in taking advantage of conditions to create the right budget. Apart from that, this research will be able to provide an overview of what treatments can encourage motivation and increase opportunities for the tendency to create budget slack.Research limitation/Implication: This study was limited to certain company sectors, and there is the possibility of a gap in understanding and interpreting the experimental scenario.

Abstract

Research aims: This research assessed the struggles of the village-owned enterprise of Raknamo Village in Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, to enhance performance.Design/Methodology/Approach: This research used a qualitative approach consisting of stages, such as data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. It collected data through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document review. It analyzed data on performance indicators: resource provision, task implementation, outputs, and goal attainment that the village-owned enterprise struggles to accomplish.Research findings: This research uncovered that the village-owned enterprise of Raknamo Village faces difficulties even now, thus generally performing low in its efforts to provide resources needed, such as personnel, finances, and facilities, implement tasks, produce outputs/products, and attain goals. Specifically, it performed relatively well in renting tents and chairs, increasing little profit; however, it performed poorly in the savings and loan business and traditional weaving home industry, thus experiencing financial loss. The primary factors affecting such performance were the core managers' low managerial and entrepreneurial skills, financial inability and low cooperative attitude of the village society to repay loans, inability of village society to do profitable business, and low income.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research evaluated the struggles of the village-owned enterprise of Raknamo Village in Kupang Regency to boost performance, which prior studies have not widely investigated. Theoretically, this research is expected to add specified academic or analytical insight into the village-owned enterprises struggling as small business organizations to improve performance.Practitioner implication: The finding has profound implications that eliminating difficulties that hinder the village-owned enterprise’s performance and building its ability to perform better hereafter are both necessary. To reach this expectation, the government should create a capacity-building program for the village-owned enterprise.

Abstract

Research aims: This research aims to analyze the trends, map the conceptual structure, and present the picture of research direction on accountability and government performance topics.Design/Methodology/Approach: A bibliometric analysis was used to obtain a structured overview and the research trend on accountability and government performance domains. The authors used the Scopus database from 1983 to 2022 and got 214 published documents, which were then analyzed with VOSviewer software and “Scopus Analyze Search Results.”Research findings: This study uncovered a significant increasing trend in the number of publications on accountability and government performance research, from two documents in 1985 to eighteen documents in 2022. The USA is the most productive country publishing on accountability and government performance research, followed by the United Kingdom, Indonesia, China, Australia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, and Italy. The keywords that can be used for further research related to accountability and government performance are e-government, transparency, local government, governance approach, performance management, and corruption.Theoretical contribution/Originality: Based on the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that analyses the research trend on accountability and government performance with the use of bibliometric analysis. In addition, for exploring and analyzing large volumes of scientific research, the use of bibliometric analysis is a popular and rigorous method.Practitioner/Policy implication: The use of bibliometric analysis is essential to identify research gaps and look for themes or terms and become a potential direction to explore the relationship of each term.
