Purpose This paper aims to extend previous developed market-based research on the value relevance of environmental performance by testing the relationship between share prices of Indonesian-listed corporations and their environmental performance ratings. Design/methodology/approach The sample consists of 60 listed firms which are rated by the Indonesia Ministry of Environment between 2002 and 2012, resulting in a sample of 246 observations. The Ohlson (1995) model was utilized and modified by including environmental ratings. Findings The research finds that superior environmental performance is associated with higher share price, whereas inferior environmental performance is value irrelevant to the market. Research limitations/implications Considering the significance of PROPER, this research did not observe other types of corporate environmental performance, such as those released by the press and reported in the company annual reports and websites. These limitations are not controlled for in the tests, and this might confound inferences. Originality/value The paper addresses a gap in the literature by providing insight on how a developing capital market values both superior and inferior environmental performance. It also provides implication on the effectiveness of environmental monitoring policy in providing incentives for firms to improve their environmental performance
This study examines whether ownership structure which was divided into blockholder ownership, managerial ownership, and public ownership had influence on corporate governance disclosure, and whether growth opportunities moderate that influence. Studies in this area mostly examined the role of ownership structure on corporate financial disclosure or public announcements conducted in the context of different countries and in more regulated industries in Indonesia. The scope of this study was manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange for the period of 2013. The results showed that between the ownership structures only blockholder ownership had a negative and significant influence on the corporate governance disclosure. Being the largest shareholders, blockholders might have better access on the inside information which made them better informed relative to other shareholders, thus arguably might desire less disclosure. The results also showed that the interaction variable between managerial ownership and growth opportunities was negative and significant. This indicates that in a growing company where the managerial ownership increases, the management would tend to reduce the corporate governance information they provided to the stakeholders. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini menguji apakah struktur kepemilikan yang dibagi menjadi kepemilikan blockholder, kepemilikan manajerial, dan kepemilikan publik memiliki pengaruh terhadap pernyataan tata kelola perusahaan, dan apakah kesempatan bertumbuh memoderasi pengaruh tersebut. Adapun kebanyakan penelitian di bidang ini hanya mengusut peran struktur kepemilikan terhadap pernyataan keuangan perusahaan atau pengumuman publik, dilakukan di luar Indonesia dalam konteks negara yang berbeda, sedangkan yang ada di Indonesia dilakukan pada industri yang sangat ketat dikendalikan oleh aturan. Obyek penelitian ini adalah perusahaan-perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar dalam Bursa Efek Indonesia untuk periode tahun 2013. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa di antara struktur kepemilikan yang ada, hanya kepemilikan blockholder yang memiliki pengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap pernyataan tata kelola perusahaan. Sebagai pemegang saham terbesar dalam perusahaan, blockholder kemungkinan besar memiliki akses yang lebih baik terhadap informasi dalam perusahaan yang membuat mereka lebih banyak tahu kondisi perusahaan dibandingkan pemegang saham yang lain, yang kemudian menyebabkan penyajian informasi dalam pernyataan tata kelola perusahaan menjadi lebih terbatas. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa variabel interaksi antara kepemilikan manajerial dan kesempatan bertumbuh juga negatif signifikan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pada perusahaan yang sedang bertumbuh ketika kepemilikan manajerial bertambah, manajemen akan cenderung mengurangi informasi yang disajikan dalam pernyataan tata kelola perusahaan.
This study revisits the effectiveness of the audit committee independence and expertise in preventing earnings management practices. Studies in other countries that have relatively stricter regulations showed the audit committee independence was effective to prevent earnings management. Arguably, the practice may be different in Indonesia whose regulation is considerably more lenient. On the other hand, studies related to audit committee expertise is rarely done in Indonesia. This study utilized two of the earnings management models namely the Modified Jones Model and the Performance-Adjusted Modified Jones Model. This study was limited to Indonesian listed manufacturing companies from 2009 to 2011. Consistent for both earnings management models, the results show that audit committee independence is effective to prevent earnings management. However, the results showed that audit committee expertise did not affect earnings management practices. Although only approximately 39 percent of the audit committee members in Indonesian listed manufacturing companies were independent, the existence of those independence members enabled the audit committee to effectively conduct its monitoring role, especially in preventing earnings management. Nevertheless, accounting and/or financial expertise might not determine the effectiveness of the audit committee’s monitoring role.
This study examines the value relevance of accounting information. This study investigates whether accounting information has impact on the share prices. In addition, it examines whether earnings management moderates the value relevance of accounting information to the market. Accounting information in this study consists of earnings, book value of equity, and cash flows, and the earnings management is proxied by discretionary accruals measured using the performance-adjusted modified Jones model. Using time series analysis, there are 98 samples of listed manufacturing corporations used in this study during 2014 which is the period of this study. The results show that earnings, book value of equity, and cash flows simultaneously affect the share prices, meaning that accounting information is value relevant to the market, although there is evidence that partially, only cash flows have impact on share prices. This study also found that the presence of earnings management weakens the value relevance of earnings. To some extent, the results indicate that earnings management eliminates the value relevance of earnings and cash flows.
This study aimed to find out the competence needed by fresh graduates based on the perceptions of acounting practitioners. This study used a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods and used the statistical technique of exploratory factor analysis. A qualitative method was used in identifying variables to be studied, while quantitative method was used in grouping or categorizing of those variables into certain factors. This study used 40 variables developed based on the interview results and questionnaires filled by 100 respondents consisting of accounting practitioners namely those who worked in accounting and finance deparment starting from staff level up to financial directors spread across various companies in Indonesia. The results of the study found eight main competencies that should be possessed by accounting students based on the perceptions of the employers. Those competencies were (1) work ethics, (2) interpersonal skills, (3) good leadership, (4) responsibility, (5) analytical ability, (6) skills, (7) ability to adapt, and (8) work experience.
