Abstract

Research aims: This study aims to explore whether and to what extent political turnover (a change of local government head) is associated with a firm’s business decisions, such as tax avoidance and corporate investment.Design/Methodology/Approach: Using a sample of companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2012-2021, the authors measured the association between changes in local government leaders and business decisions using panel data regression with Driscoll Kraay’s Standard Error. The authors hand-collected data on changes in local government leaders in 183 Indonesian cities to measure political turnover and merged the data with financial variables collected from the Eikon database.Research findings: This study uncovered that local political turnover in the region of companies' headquarters was negatively associated with tax avoidance decisions. This study also found that local political turnover negatively affected corporate investment decisions during normal/non-crisis periods. Consistent with the Resource Dependence Theory, the results of this study suggest that firms treat relationships with local government as an important resource. Political turnover thus creates uncertainty on the sustainability of the resources, causing firms to adjust their business decisions.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study provides an understanding of how changes in political conditions in Indonesia change business strategy decisions. Besides, this research area is still under-studied in Indonesia.Research limitation: Since this study focused on the uncertainty caused by political turnover, this study did not measure firms’ political connections.

Abstract

Research aims: Illiquidity risk is one of the complex issues that institutional investors and market participants continually face over time. It is because the constructs of illiquidity risk are sometimes complicated, robust, and not so evident in secondary markets. Hence, this study aims to empirically explore illiquidity risk before and during the COVID-19 pandemic to understand how much investors were expected to lose if they invested in stock markets during these periods.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a GARCH model and the Amihud illiquidity ratio to achieve its objective. Trading volumes and price returns for the JSE, CAC 40, DAX, Nasdaq, BIST 100, and SSE were from June 30, 2017, to June 30, 2019, and January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021.Research findings: As expected, the findings revealed higher illiquidity risk during periods of financial distress, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. During the financial crisis, investors could lose up to $22268.44 a day in less developed markets, such as the JSE, while the average loss in developed markets ranged between $0.22 to $11.53 in the Nasdaq and DAX, respectively. On average, a much lower figure was observed before the financial crisis. The BIST100, CAC 40, DAX, and Nasdaq are excellent options for those seeking lower-risk premiums.Theoretical and Practitioner/Policy implication: Policies such as adequate market microstructure and greater transparency in trading are strongly recommended for less developed markets, especially during periods of financial distress. Also, the findings of this study provide valuable insight into short-term traders and market participants attracted to liquid markets, where they can easily enter and exit their positions with minimal transaction costs. To the author's knowledge, this paper is the first to model illiquidity risk in stock markets.Research limitation/Implication: It is possible that the current study did not accurately capture the cost of illiquidity in the sampled financial markets and cannot be applied to other financial markets.

Abstract

Research aims: This research aims to prove the effect of independent commissioner performance and audit committee expertise on earnings management to avoid earnings decreases and political connections to strengthen independent commissioner performance and audit committee expertise to limit earnings management.Design/Methodology/Approach: The population was manufacturing firms listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange during 2017-2020. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample of 102 firms for four years or 408 observations. Then, hypothesis testing employed multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis.Research findings: The results showcased that accrual earnings management and abnormal discretionary expenses were used by managers to avoid decreases in earnings. On the other hand, corporate governance, like audit committee expertise, could be used to limit earnings management. While the political connection could strengthen and weaken the effect of independent commissioner performances in limiting earning management, political connections could not strengthen audit committee expertise in limiting real and accrual earnings management.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research contributes to the political connection and earning management literature and provides empirical evidence of agency theory, positive accounting theory, prospect theory, and resource dependence theory.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research contributes to investors in determining investment decisions.Research limitation/Implication: The limitation of this research is that independent variables only used two components of corporate governance, i.e., the independent commissioner performances and audit committee expertise, so the level of influence of the independent variables on the dependent was small.

Abstract

Research aims: The increasing number of fraud cases has significantly raised the whistleblower mechanism's role. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of the whistleblowing triangle on whistleblowing intention. The whistleblowing triangle combines the theory of fraud triangle and the theory of planned behavior to predict whistleblowing intention. The reporting system is required in an organization expected to strengthen the fraud prevention system related to increasing fraud cases.Design/Methodology/Approach: This research was conducted in the village credit institution listed in Denpasar. This selection was due to Denpasar having become Bali's second-highest number of fraud cases. Thus, it is necessary to understand whether the whistleblowing triangle can deter fraud. The research sample was selected among Village Credit Institution (VCI) employees in Denpasar using accidental sampling and generating 80 employees as respondents. This study used multiple regression analysis to test the hypotheses.Research findings: The results revealed that the whistleblowing triangle's components impacted whistleblowing intention. The intention to report fraudulent behavior was negatively impacted by pressure, while it was positively affected by opportunity and rationalization.Theoretical contribution/Originality: Most previous studies have investigated whistleblowing intention using the fraud triangle and theory of planned behavior separately. Meanwhile, this study used the whistleblowing triangle, combining fraud and planned behavior theory to predict whistleblowing intention.Research limitation: This study omitted financial incentives included in the previous research.

Abstract

Research aims: This paper aims to examine factors influencing China's outward foreign direct investment (FDI) in ASEAN economies.Design/Methodology/Approach: The Kao panel cointegration approach and the Panel ARDL model were used in this study to estimate the long-run and short-run relationship between variables. This method is deemed superior to other panel models since it is advantageous when dealing with non-stationary variables at the level or I(1).Research findings: The estimation results provide empirical evidence that in the long run, ASEAN market size, exchange rate, import and export levels between China and ASEAN countries, inflation rate, and institutional factors such as the index of corruption control and political stability are the primary determinants of the flow of outward foreign direct investments from China to ASEAN economies. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study provides additional evidence regarding the factors influencing direct investment flow from the home country to the host country, known as an outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). Previous studies have robustly proven that OFDI flows are influenced by factors such as the resources and market size of the host country, as predicted by location theory. This study further provides evidence that host country trade policy, the level of competitiveness demonstrated by favorable exchange rates, and institutional factors like corruption control and political stability are other important determinants in the context of China’s OFDI in ASEAN countries.Practitioner/Policy implication: Maintaining open trade policy, a competitive exchange rate and significant improvement in law and order would be suitable policies for ASEAN economies to attract more investment from China and other countries.Research limitation/Implication: This study did not cover other variables, such as investment facilities provided by the host government. In addition, economic packages like tax holidays and import-tariff discounts are common policies ASEAN countries provide. Hence, this variable can be considered in future research.

Abstract

Research aims: Pranatamangsa calendar serves as a local wisdom genius to determine agricultural accounting for farmers' income.Design/Methodology/Approach: A qualitative method with an eco-phenomenology approach was used to reveal season markers.Research findings: Agricultural accounting presence through yield calculation embodies Farmer Exchange Value as income, with the use of pranatamangsa to increase harvest. This calculation is based on the calculation of planting costs to make the cost components that can be calculated, namely input and output costs to be managed by farmers as a formulation of farmer income, which is about costs paid (Ib) with prices received (It) added to the season factor as cost-revenue exchange rate determinants.Theoretical contribution/Originality: Agricultural accounting becomes an aspect based on concern for setting seasons. Disclosure or reporting of seasons through pranatamangsa agricultural accounting reports is the cost-revenue exchange rate as farmer income.Practitioner/Policy implication: The formulation that becomes farming income is multiplying the paddy production amount by the selling price of paddy per ton. The formulation considers the season factor as a determinant of harvest production. This formulation produces integrated, relevant agricultural accounting information based on season markers.Research limitation/Implication: It is necessary to further develop the results of public awareness as a form of the presence of agricultural accounting. Furthermore, research methods can use a positivist approach with harvest variable determinants. In addition, descriptive, causal, and qualitative studies can use ethnomethodology or phenomenology based on participant observation as a complete source.

Abstract

Research aims: In today's world, financial literacy plays a crucial role in planning for retirement. This study, therefore, investigates the connection between financial knowledge, household asset ownership, and retirement planning.Design/Methodology/Approach: The study considered variables, such as education level, age, gender, marital status, and household location, using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS)-5 at the household level. This study used a sample of 18,627 households spread across 13 provinces in Indonesia to represent the relationship between the variables. The Logit estimation model then examined the impact of financial literacy and household asset ownership on retirement planning.Research findings: The results suggest that individuals with higher financial knowledge are better equipped to plan for their retirement needs. Furthermore, significant asset ownership is also positively linked to retirement planning, as it indicates that an individual is better prepared to face the challenges of old age. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the Life Cycle Hypothesis, which states that individuals will try to keep consumption patterns/needs expenditures and ensure that individual consumption trends remain consistent/constant.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research is expected to be useful as additional information for policy actors, practitioners, and academics in the financial sector to continue actively introducing and disseminating the importance of financial knowledge to the public. Thus, people have alternative and passive income in their old age that does not require working.Research limitation/Implication: The descriptive results found a reasonably large gap between households where there are households with no savings or assets at all. The discrepancy is expected to affect the outcomes of the research.

Abstract

Research aims: In Indonesia, the Simposium Nasional Akuntansi (SNA) and regional accounting conferences (RAC) exist. Prior studies on their database are constrained and predominantly adopt an external viewpoint. Therefore, using an "insider" perspective, this study aims to reveal how scientific conferences impact knowledge quality and dissemination in accounting research.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study took the case of the Konferensi Ilmiah Akuntansi (KIA) X Jakarta at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta. Data were analyzed descriptively sourced from the KIA X committee and the selection process of 235 manuscripts until acceptance/rejection by the journal.Research findings: The results demonstrated that, first, KIA X engaged 58 institutions and 235 manuscripts as participants, with 70 reviewers representing cohosting institutions and journal editorial teams across Indonesia. Second, reviewers independently deemed 160 manuscripts suitable for journal publication and 75 for proceedings. Among these, 130 were accepted by SINTA 2-5 journals, and 30 await confirmation. Third, accounting conferences seem to satisfy formalities rather than significantly enhancing knowledge or practice quality.Theoretical contribution/Originality: Regional conferences like KIA X aim to foster discussions on accounting concepts, knowledge, and innovations. Nevertheless, if proceedings reflect poor quality, the intended scientific objectives falter. Hence, this study delves into this concern through conference database analysis.Practitioner/Policy implication: The RAC committees face challenges in balancing convenience, appeal, and competitiveness, all while dispelling the notion of lower manuscript quality compared to SNA.

Abstract

Research aims: This study examines the effect of two leadership types, ethical leadership (EL) and servant leadership (SL), on whistleblowing intentions with three justice dimensions: distributive, interactional, and procedural, as mediators.Design/Methodology/Approach: This research involved local government organizations (LGO) employees in several regencies in Indonesia, including Purworejo, Sumbawa, Pelalawan Riau, the Special Region of Yogyakarta, and Surakarta. The hypotheses were tested using the SEM-PLS technique.Research findings: The results discovered that EL positively affected whistleblowing intention directly and through (mediated) procedural and interactional justice. Meanwhile, SL did not directly affect whistleblowing intention, yet it could affect it when mediated by procedural justice. Furthermore, distributive justice could not mediate the relationship between either SL or EL on whistleblowing.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The novelty of the research is to explore and comprehensively analyze how a leadership style can influence someone to do whistleblowing in the government sector by paying attention to the crucial role of the justice dimension. The results of this study provide valuable insights for the government to increase employee motivation in whistleblowing.Practitioner/Policy implication: Drawing from this insight, the leader of the LGOs must have the characteristic of EL since it can facilitate and motivate employees to blow the whistle when they find fraud in the organization. In addition, a leader with EL can create fairness in the organization. Thus, EL not only can affect employees to blow the whistle but also can raise the three-dimensionality of justice in the organization.Research limitation/Implication: The implementation of leadership, either SL or EL, in the context of the public sector, whose primary purpose is to enhance government accountability, particularly in emerging countries, is still lacking. Moreover, the process underlying how leadership affects whistleblowing still holds critical gaps, particularly issues related to leadership dynamics.
