This study examines to what extent biological asset reporting is corresponding to the Indonesian Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 69 (PSAK 69) among Indonesia Stock Exchange-listed agricultural firms. In their annual report, such companies should report how they recognize and measure the fair value of the living plants or animals’ assets. This study also examines factors that might impact the extent of disclosure of biological assets. The examined factors are biological asset intensity, concentrated ownership, audit committee effectiveness, profitability, and size. Biological asset disclosures were measured by a checklist derived from PSAK 69 and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 41 on Agriculture. This study uses 53 firm-year observations of the listed agriculture companies from 2017 to 2020. Multiple regression analysis findings indicate that biological asset intensity and firm size affect favorably the amount of biological asset disclosures. The results indicate that the greater the living plants or animals owned by a company and the larger the firm, the greater the commitment of a company to disclose its biological assets in its annual report. The study sheds light on the capital market authority agency’s current policy to strengthen factors that may impact agricultural companies’ disclosure of their biological assets.
