Purpose This study aims to investigate both the direct and indirect associations of environmental disclosures with financial performance, environmental performance and firm value. Design/methodology/approach The samples are companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the agriculture industry, mining industry, basic industry and chemicals, miscellaneous industry and consumer goods industry and that are participating in the Performance Rating Assessment Program on Environment Management (PROPER/Program Penilaian Peringkat Kinerja Perusahaan) of the Ministry of the Environment Republic of Indonesia or have been awarded the Green Industry Award by the Ministry of Industry Republic of Indonesia in 2012-2014. Data are collected from sustainability reports, annual reports and annual financial statements. The authors used simultaneous equation modeling and panel data regression analysis to analyze the data. Findings The authors find that the financial performance does not affect the environmental disclosures. The lagged environmental performance has a positive effect on the current environmental disclosures, and environmental disclosures do not affect the firm market value and do not mediate the effect of financial performance and environmental performance on firm value. Originality/value This study comprehensively examines both direct and indirect associations of environmental disclosures with financial performance, environmental performance and firm value, which is rarely examined in extant studies.

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether corporate governance practices and the quality of reporting are associated with firm value for public firms in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach -The authors hypothesize that there are positive associations between firm value and corporate governance practices and reporting quality. For the authors' proxies for corporate governance and reporting quality they develop two new indices. First, they develop a corporate governance index (the CGI) to measure corporate governance practices by Indonesian firms. Second, they develop a reporting quality index (the RQI) to measure the firms' quality of reporting and disclosures. To examine the associations the authors run multivariate regressions of their proxies for firm value on the two indices. Findings -Consistent with the first hypothesis, the paper finds positive associations between corporate governance and different proxies of firm value. These findings suggest that firms that implement better corporate governance have higher values. Contrary to the second hypothesis, the paper finds negative associations between reporting quality and the proxies for firm value. These findings indicate that lower value firms tend to disclose more information that is consistent with the P3LKE than higher value firms.Research limitations/implications -The results suggest that corporate governance practice by Indonesian public firms is value relevant and therefore, should provide incentives to the firms to improve their governance. This shows that the Indonesian government's efforts to promote corporate governance provide benefits to publicly traded firms. The results also indicate that firms with low values are more likely to disclose information that is consistent with the P3LKE. This warrants further research because this finding is inconsistent with the contention that more disclosures should result in higher value. Practical implications -The authority needs to put more efforts in promoting good corporate governance implementations and making sure that public firms improve their disclosures and reporting quality in order to provide benefits to the users of financial information. Originality/value -Corporate governance index for public firms is not readily available in Indonesia. Therefore, the authors develop an index to measure corporate governance implementations by Indonesian public firms. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first paper that develops an index to measure adherence to the P3LKE, which is a comprehensive measure of the quality of reporting.

Purpose -The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of stakeholder pressure and corporate governance on the quality of sustainability report. This study uses environment, employee, consumer and shareholder as stakeholders, while board of commissioner effectiveness and family ownership are used as corporate governance components.Design/methodology/approach -This research uses multiple regression method with total observations of 123 sustainability reports of listed firms on Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2010-2014.Findings -The result shows that companies which get pressure from environment and consumer have higher quality of sustainability report than other firms. Pressure from employee positively affects the quality of sustainability report. Meanwhile, pressure from shareholders has no effect on the quality of sustainability report. Board of commissioner effectiveness positively affects the quality of sustainability report, and family ownership has no effect on the quality of sustainability report.Originality/value -This research reveals how various types of stakeholders and corporate governance in Indonesia react to corporate social responsibility and thus influence the quality of sustainability report, which has not been discussed by previous studies.

This study examines the effect of quality of the SMEs' financial statements on level of credit received by SMEs, as well as prospect of financial accounting standard for entity without public accountability (FAS AbstrakPenelitian ini menguji pengaruh dari kualitas laporan keuangan UMKM terhadap tingkat kredit yang diterima UMKM tersebut, serta prospek dari implementasi SAK Entitas Tanpa Akuntabilitas Publik (SAK ETAP) di tahun 2011 terhadap peningkatan kualitas laporan keuangan UMKM. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari kuesioner dengan responden pengusaha UMKM yang berada di wilayah Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, dan beberapa wilayah lain di pulau Jawa. Responden berjumlah 50 yang menjadi sampel dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ternyata kualitas laporan keuangan UMKM tidak berpengaruh terhadap jumlah kredit yang diterima UMKM, hal ini dikarenakan masih rendahnya kualitas laporan keuangan UMKM sehingga perbankan masih meragukan relevansi dan keandalan kualitas laporan keuangannya. Prospek implementasi SAK ETAP terhadap peningkatan kualitas laporan keuangan sampai sejauh ini masih menghadapi kendala akibat masih rendahnya pemahaman para pengusaha UMKM atas SAK ETAP tersebut.Kata kunci: kualitas laporan keuangan, UMKM, kredit, SAK ETAP
