Do Financial Reporting Quality and Corporate Governance Have Simultaneous Effect? Evidence from Indonesian Manufacturing Companies

Abstract

Financial reporting reflects transparency of the firm and if it could not explain the changes in shareholders’ value in a timely manner; shareholders need additional monitoring mechanism. This study aims to investigate the effect of financial statements’ quality on corporate governance mechanism and to examine the simultaneous effect between both. This study uses earnings timelines as a proxy of financial reporting’s quality; proportion of independent board and board size as proxies of corporate governance mechanism. Using Two Stage Linear Regression (TSLS) and samples consist of manufacturing companies listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2015, this study finds that earnings timelines have significant influence on board size; earnings timelines and proportion of independent board have the simultaneous effect; however, it fails to document the simultaneous effect of earnings timelines and ownership concentration. This study is the first that investigates the simultaneous effects of financial reporting quality and corporate governance.

The Influence of Planning, Reporting, Standard Operating Procedure on University Education Costs Management Accountability

The Empirical Analysis of Corporate Governance Mechanism and Political Influence on FRQ: An Insight from the Banking Sector in Iraq

“…Companies should improve the quality of reports for fast-tracking information, which impacts emerging risks of future business strategies.

Global corporate failure and financial statement manipulation are recurring phenomena that failed to guarantee the credibility and transparency of financial statements (Huynh, 2020;Hermanto, 2019;Arieftiara & Utama, 2018). Many studies have also highlighted the challenge of FRQ in financial institutions, particularly the banking industry.…”

“…The relationship between corporate governance and FRQ has been discussed extensively in developed countries, emphasising specific governance mechanisms: board structure (Klai & Omri, 2011); auditors' effectiveness (Huynh, 2020;Rich, 2009;Agrawal & Chadha, 2005); director shareholding (Sánchez-Ballesta & García-Meca, 2007); ownership structure (Zulaikah, Larasati, & Harymawan, 2019;Han, 2005). Nevertheless, developing stock markets are different from the developed stock market regarding the ownership structure, corporate governance code, and development stages (Arieftiara & Utama, 2018). Thus, research focused on corporate governance and FRQ in emerging economies with distinctive characteristics about corporate regulations, control and capital allocation in the sector.…”
