Pemberian kompensasi yang sesuai dan tepat kepada agent dilakukan untuk menghindari aktivitas menyimpang yang dapat terjadi (Jensen & Meckling, 1976). Dalam pelaksanaannya, agent cenderung oportunis tanpa pemantauan yang efektif akan mengeksploitasi pemilik. ...
... Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Remunerasi tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Kinerja Utama Perguruan Tinggi. Hasil yang diperoleh tidak sejalan dengan agency theory yang memandang bahwa peningkatan kinerja perusahaan dapat dicapai dengan peningkatan remunerasi direksi (Miller & Sardais, 2011) dan pemberian kompensasi yang sesuai dan tepat kepada agent untuk menghindari aktivitas menyimpang yang dapat terjadi (Jensen & Meckling, 1976).

The data used is primary data obtained from a sample of 42 people by distributing questionnaires using Google Form. Answer measurement uses a Likert scale. Findings: Performance-based budgeting mediated by good university governance has a significant effect on the main performance of higher education institutions. Remuneration mediated by good university governance has a significant effect on the main performance of higher education. Performance-based budgeting has a significant effect on good university governance. Remuneration has a significant effect on good university governance. Performance-based budgeting cannot directly improve the main performance of higher education institutions because it does not have a significant effect. Direct remuneration cannot improve the main performance of higher education because it does not have a significant effect. Good university governance has a significant effect on the main performance of higher education. Practical implications: Improving higher education performance can be done through the application of

... Pemaparan teori, principal (pemilik perusahaan) dalam aktivitas operasional tidak mendapatkan informasi seperti kondisi agen sehingga menimbulkan kekuatiran apakah tindakan agen (manajemen) adalah untuk kepentingan terbaik perusahaan. Pihak manajemen harus mempertanggung jawabkan wewenang yang dilimpahkan pihak principal (Jensen & Meckling, 1976). Principal menghendaki agen melakukan kegiatan perusahaan dan setiap kebijakannya sesuai tujuan pemilik. ...

The aim of this research is to examine the effect of company size and Capital Intensity on tax avoidance of mining companies in 2019-2021. Sampling using purposive sampling technique, the number of data is 42. Types of quantitative data and secondary data. Multiple regression data analysis techniques, coefficient of determination, and hypothesis testing (t test). The results of research on firm size and Capital Intensity have no effect on tax avoidance. Big companies will not do tax evasion because they have a reputation. Fixed asset investment aims to improve the company's operations to achieve high profits.

Purpose-This study aims to examine how digitalization disclosures affect the quality of accounting information. The quality of accounting information is important for a company because it have an impact on internal and external parties. However, in Indonesia, digitilization disclosure is still an issue. Therefore, this study was conducted to address this problem by making digitalization a variable that can influence the quality of accounting information. Digitalization can increase transparency and accuracy through automation in the financial reporting process. Hence, increases the quality of financial reporting. However, the hypothesis of this research was rejected because the measurement of digitization used in this research was measured through voluntary disclosures by companies in the company's annual report, where in this case not all companies implementing digitization disclosed their digitalization efforts. Design/methodology/approach-The sample in this study are companies engaged in food and beverage, textile, and chemical sectors. This study focused on these three sectors because they are in line with a development initiative called "Making Indonesia 4.0". Research on this topic is still in the exploratory stage. Findings-The results of this study show that the application of digitalization in companies has not been maximized. However, this study shows that the application of digitalization has a negative but insignificant effect on absolute discretionary accruals which describes the behavior of accrual earnings management. Originality/value-Further research on the effect of digitalization disclosure on the quality of accounting information is still rare and is still in the exploratory stage. In addition, this study is supported by the Indonesian government's initiatives in order to encourage the implementation of digitalization of Indonesian companies called "Making Indonesia 4.0" which is in line with this research. Research limitations/implications-. The results of this study show that the application of digitalization in companies has not been fully maximized. This research shows that the application of digitalization is able to reduce the absolute level of discretionary accruals which describes accrual earnings management behavior. This can be seen from the negative influence of the variable implementing digitalization on absolute discretionary accruals. Hence, the application of digitalization is considered capable of reducing information asymmetry so that it can improve the quality of accounting information. The future aim is that this information can be useful to generate more profits or help resolve future financial problems because quality information is able to present the actual state of the company.

... Profitability is measured by EBITDA scaled by total assets. The predominant view in the corporate finance literature, influenced by the seminal work of Jensen and Meckling (1976), is that leverage increases the incentive to engage in riskshifting activities. As this affects previous and current loan outcomes, I control for firm leverage using the ratio of total debt to total assets. ...
... For larger borrowers, lead arrangers retain a smaller portion of the loans. In line with the prediction of agency-based theory (Jensen and Meckling 1976;Myers 1977) and the shift of control rights on a statecontingent basis (Gârleanu and Zwiebel 2009), the retained shares of lead arrangers decrease with loan size, maturity, and covenant. ...
... As noted by , the choice of borrowing from a relationship lead arranger or lending to a relationship borrower may not be made at random but rather endogenously determined. To address this concern, I employ alternative estimation techniques such as propensity score matching Imbens and Wooldridge 2009) and binary endogenous treatment models (Heckman 1978(Heckman , 1979. ...

The lead arrangers of syndicated loans often have lending relationships with the borrowers, while other lenders participating in the syndicate largely engage in an arm’s length transaction. Relatively little is known about how these relationships affect the shares of syndicated loans that the lead arrangers retain in their portfolio. Using a random sample of 10,328 syndicated loans made to 7316 nonfinancial U.S. firms over the period 1987 to 2013, this paper investigates the impact of lending relationships on the shares of loans retained. The results show that lending relationships are associated with a significant reduction in retained shares. These results are robust to alternative estimation techniques, such as propensity score matching and binary endogenous treatment models, which are employed to address endogeneity concerns. Furthermore, the results provide additional evidence that the existence and strength of lending relationships lead to decreased retained shares, particularly for non-top-tier lead arrangers. Moreover, the findings also demonstrate that when lead arrangers have lending relationships with borrowers, they retain significantly smaller shares whether the loans are made to informationally opaque, small, or speculative-grade-rating firms. Overall, the findings of this paper have important implications for lenders seeking to reduce their risk exposure in syndicated loans.
... It is a dyadic contract with mutual rights and obligations for agents and principals. The principal owns economic resources, and the agent agrees to perform duties in the principal's best interests (Jensen & Meckling, 1976). Principals are obligated to transfer some of their wealth to the agent for a profit on their investment, constituting the agents' obligation to maximize investors' wealth in exchange for specific compensation. ...
... Principals are obligated to transfer some of their wealth to the agent for a profit on their investment, constituting the agents' obligation to maximize investors' wealth in exchange for specific compensation. The ideal relationship, or "Pareto-optimality," of the agent-principal contract arises when neither party can enhance their wealth at the expense of the other (Jensen & Meckling, 1976). When there is a conflict of interest between agents and principals, the agents frequently profit from having more inside information than the principal because they are the entity that controls the company. ...
... When the principal and agent's contract is outcome-based, the agent is more likely to act in the principal's best interests. It was inspired by Jensen & Meckling (1976), who stated how increasing managers' ownership of the company reduces managers' opportunism. Second, when the principal has information that may be utilized to validate the agent's conduct, the agent is more likely to behave in the principal's best interests. ...

Systematic and non-systematic risk can both cause investment risk. Internal company conditions typically cause non-systematic risk. Diversification can help to mitigate this risk. This research aims to look into applying fair value to idiosyncratic risk. This quantitative study employs secondary data from manufacturing financial statements and stock data from the IDX. In addition, this study uses monthly data on 10-year government bond yields. Information on financial statements was obtained from www.idnfinancials.com, stock prices from www.finance.yahoo.com, and monthly 10-year government bond yields from www.bloomberg.com. In total, 575 observations were used in this study (firm-year). We used multiple linear regression analysis on panel data to test the research hypothesis. The study finds that managers' fair value accounting relates to idiosyncratic risk. The results of this test apply to both the market and the Fama-French models. This study contributes to knowledge development concerning fair value testing, which still needs to be improved in developing countries.
... Overinvestment is associated with the managers behavior of investing in negative NPV projects. The overinvestment problem is that managers might abuse their power by accepting undesirable projects that could hinder the shareholders' and bondholders' value (Jensen & Meckling, 1976). ...
... The overinvestment problem is based on the assumption that managers stress their interest contrary to the shareholders', leading to decline the firm's total value (Jensen & Meckling, 1976). Managers consider the firm a source of economic profit, self-esteem, and increase their capital. ...
... However, when R&D investment increases beyond the optimum level, it hinders the firm's performance due to the possible agency problem. As Jensen and Meckling (1976) asserted, overinvestment is inherited with managerial behavior of investing in negative NPV projects, which ultimately hinders firm performance. The overinvestment problem happens when management invests in risky projects that could hamper the shareholders' and bondholders' value (Jensen & Meckling, 1976 ...

This study examines the R&D investment and firm performance nexus under a three-stage sigmoid model on 923 firms in ten African countries. I applied a two-step system GMM, robust OLS, Fixed and Random Effect regression models to check the sensitivity of the assumption of the sigmoid model to different regression approaches, and the result proves it. This study demonstrates a three-stage sigmoid model. There exists a signficant negative relationship between underinvestment and firm performance (stage 1), a significant positive relationship between optimum investment and firm performance (stage 2), and a signficant negative relationship between overinvestment and firm performance (stage 3). It suggested that African firms should maintain optimum investment in their R&D projects to maintain positive profit.
... Interpretation of these relationships can be facilitated through agency theory, the convergence of interests' hypothesis, and managerial entrenchment. In the initial perspective, Jensen and Meckling (1976) assert that ownership concentration and increased shareholder competition have a positive impact on corporate performance. They argue that heightened competition among shareholders, facilitated by internal and external mechanisms, mitigates agency problems and conflicts of interest between shareholders and managers. ...
... However, the increase in managerial ownership aligns their interests more closely with those of external shareholders, potentially resolving conflicts between managers and shareholders. Consequently, managerial ownership is considered a contributing factor to addressing agency problems and improving corporate performance (Jensen & Meckling, 1976). In a contrasting perspective, Fama and Jensen (1983) redirect their attention to the implications of agency problems arising from shareholder concentration and control. ...

Abstarct The primary purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of managerial entrenchment or convergence of interest's hypothesis in evaluating the relationship between the shareholder competition's intensity on the return and value of Iranian stock exchange companies. This research is applied, a post-event method and descriptive type; it is included in the category of threshold nonlinear regression models. In this article, the data of 127 production companies active in the stock exchange market over the period of 2012-2021 were used.The results confirm the existence of a threshold non-linear relationship between the intensity of shareholder competition and the performance of the company; In other words, if the share of state owners increases, the hypothesis of convergence of interests prevails in the managerial entrenchment. This means that the major shareholders try to reduce agency conflict through control and supervision and align their interests with the managers and minority stockholders to increase the company's value and return. Conclusion: At high levels of concentration, shareholders by dominating the market are able to benefit from tariff exchange rates, cheap feed, and government support; therefore, these stockholders being in the safe margin, do not feel threatened by competitors and can use their resources in profitable activities with high return and value

... Agency theory according to (Jensen & Meckling, 1976) is a concept of agency relationship (agency relationship) that arises because of the existence of a contractual relationship between principal and agent. The principal is the party that gives the mandate to the agent to carry out all activities on behalf of the principal, in this case, the agent has the capacity as a decision maker. ...
... The results of this study do not support the Agency Theory (Jensen and Meckling, 1976) which states that in a relationship with the central government (principal) that delegates authority to the village government (agent) to carry out village financial management, so that the village government must comply with all conditions determined by central government by providing financial reports that are in accordance with the wishes of the central government with the competence of village officials to make this happen (Murthy & Jack, 2017). ...

... In addition, moral hazard is also a consequence of the conflict of interest between customers and service providers when there is information asymmetry (Xuan et al., 2021). At the same time, due to the separation of ownership, control and risk appetite of the participants (Eisenhardt, 1989;Jensen, 1986;Jensen and Meckling, 1976) it cannot be expected that the bank will not be interested in risk-taking and will always act for safety and sustainability, because risk and expected return are always opposite but unifying sides of every decision-making in business (Anginer and Demirgüç-Kunt, 2018;Cheng and associates, 2018;Girling, 2022). Since then, the consequences of asymmetry of information and interests in the process of operation are the cause of moral hazard in banking activities. ...
... There are many causes of moral hazard. Jensen and Meckling (1976) or later Dembe and Boden (2000), Girling (2022) concluded that the main cause of moral hazard in the banking business is the asymmetry of information. Asymmetric information is the term refers to situation that management cannot be assured and cannot control over the behaviors of their employees. ...
... Hal tersebut akan menimbulkan biaya agen (agency cost) bagi perusahaan. Sehingga dalam perkembangannya, muncul teori mengenai agency theory yang ditemukan oleh (Jensen & Meckling, 1976), yaitu hubungan keagenan di mana terdapat kontrak yang menegaskan jika pemegang saham memohon kepada manajer agar melakukan jasa tertentu demi kepentingan pemagang saham dengan cara memberi delegasi atau wewenang otoritas kepada pemegang saham. ...

Teori Agensi ini ditemukan dan dikemukakan oleh (Jensen & Meckling, 1976) yang menyebutkan bahwa terdapat pendelegasian wewenang dari pemegang saham (principal) kepada manajemen perusahaan (agent) untuk memberikan suatu jasa dan kemudian mendelegasikan pengambilan keputusan kepada agent tersebut. Para ahli agency theory, berasumsi bahwa hubungan yang terjadi antara keduanya (principalagent) memiliki kepentingan masing-masing (self interests) dan kepentingan tersebut terdapat banyak perbedaan dari sudut pandang keduanya. ...

... Agency theory, developed by Jensen and Meckling (1976), posits that companies with a separation of ownership and management and differences in controlling and minority share ownership are prone to information asymmetry and conflicts of interest regarding dividend payments. While owners expect high dividends, management may prefer to allocate profits towards company growth rather than distributing dividends. ...
... Allah SWT says in the Qur'an surah Al Maidah verse 8 regarding honest and fair behavior. The role of grand theory in the formation of hypotheses, such as agency theory by Jensen and Meckling (1976), pecking order theory by Myers and Majluf (1984), and dividend irrelevance theory by Modigliani and Miller (1961), is crucial in the context of presenting other comprehensive income (OCI) information in financial statements. In particular, OCI information presented in the income statement enhances the representativeness, predictive value, and transparency of financial statements. ...

The concept of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) refers to the difference between the fair value and historical value of assets, resulting from applying fair value principles in financial statement preparation. Despite being unrealized income, it affects equity, and some of its items have a real potential to be realized in the coming period. Previous research has mainly studied the effect of realized income (net income) on dividends, while the impact of unrealized income on dividends, especially in Indonesia, has received limited attention. This study investigates the relationship between OCI and dividends for 682 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange using data from annual reports spanning from 2015 to 2021. This study employs descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, and path analysis to examine the mediating role of profitability and operating cash flows in the relationship between OCI and dividends. The results reveal that OCI, as a whole, does not have a significant impact on dividends. However, when analyzing only the items within OCI that are "to be reclassified to net income", specifically gains (losses) on “available-for-sale financial assets”, the study identifies a significant and positive relationship between OCI and dividends. These findings suggest that incorporating OCI with net income in the income statement format can enhance the relevance of financial information for users, emphasizing the importance of considering the impact of unrealized income on dividends and the mediating role of profitability and operating cash flows.========================================================================================================ABSTRAK – Dapatkah Other Comprehensive Income Mempengaruhi Pembayaran Dividen di Indonesia? Konsep Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) merujuk pada perbedaan antara nilai wajar dan nilai historis aset, yang dihasilkan dari penerapan prinsip nilai wajar dalam penyusunan laporan keuangan. Meskipun merupakan penghasilan yang belum direalisasi namun mempengaruhi ekuitas dan beberapa item diantaranya ada potensi nyata terealisasi di periode yang akan datang. Kajian sebelumnya, terutama di Indonesia, umumnya hanya menguji pengaruh pendapatan yang terealisasi terhadap dividen, sedangkan pengaruh pendapatan belum terealisasi belum banyak dieksplorasi. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti hubungan antara OCI dan dividen pada 682 perusahaan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia menggunakan data dari laporan tahunan selama periode 2015- 2021. Analisis data dilakukan dengan statistik deskriptif, analisis korelasi, analisis regresi linear berganda, dan analisis jalur untuk mengeksplorasi peran mediasi variabel profitabilitas dan arus kas operasi dalam hubungan antara OCI dan dividen. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa secara keseluruhan, OCI tidak memiliki dampak signifikan terhadap dividen. Namun, ketika analisis hanya dilakukan pada item-item OCI kelompok “yang akan direklasifikasi ke laba bersih”, khususnya pada item keuntungan (kerugian) aset keuangan tersedia untuk dijual, OCI berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap dividen, dan profitabilitas serta arus kas operasi juga memediasi pengaruh OCI terhadap dividen. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa menggabungkan OCI dengan laba bersih dalam format laporan keuangan dapat meningkatkan relevansi informasi keuangan bagi pengguna, dengan menekankan pentingnya mempertimbangkan dampak penghasilan yang belum direalisasi pada dividen dan peran mediasi dari profitabilitas dan arus kas operasi.
... The agency theory developed by Jensen & Meckling (1976) also explains the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Agency theory is defined as an agency relationship, which is a contract where one or more people (principals) engage another person (agents) to perform some service on their behalf, which involves delegating some decision-making authority to the agent. ...

Purposes: The research aims to test and determine the influence of the components in the fraud hexagon on fraudulent financial statements.Methods: The population in this research are property and real estate sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and Malaysia Stock Exchange in 2020-2022. The study’s sampling technique used purposive sampling to obtain 77 companies with 187 units of analysis. Data were analyzed by panel data regression analysis using Eviews 12.Findings: The results show that financial targets, the nature of the industry, and ineffective monitoring positively and significantly affect fraudulent financial statements. Meanwhile, external pressure and the frequent number of CEO pictures reduce fraudulent financial statements. As for director experience, political connections and changes in auditors do not affect fraudulent financial statements.Novelty: Novelty in this research, namely the use of populations in Indonesia and Malaysia. The proxy used to represent the capability element also uses the director experience variable, which is rarely used in previous research.
... An agency relationship is an agreement wherein one or more individuals (principals) delegate certain decision-making authority to another individual (agent). To minimize conflicts of interest and information asymmetry, principals need to conduct monitoring such as requiring agents to provide accurate and transparent reports on company performance [15]. One of the reports that tries to present a comprehensive assessment on the company's performance both financial and non-financial is an integrated report. ...

While sustainability reporting has made significant strides in recent years, a noticeable gap persists between reporting practices and corresponding assurance measures. This paper emphasizes the alignment of sustainability assurance statements with the essential elements mandated by the ISAE 3000 assurance standard. A content analysis was conducted on the assurance statements of twenty (20) publicly listed companies across 20 different exchanges over a three-year span from 2020 to 2022. The analysis employed a quantitative approach, utilizing scoring to assess the alignment of the content with the requirements of the assurance standard. The research instrument was based on the minimal content elements of ISAE 3000 and developed by previous studies. The study reveals high quality levels among all assurance providers in the sample. Country-wise, the quality level is high for all countries except Japan, Thailand, Denmark, and Australia, which exhibit a medium quality level. Similarly, sectors in the sample generally exhibit a high quality level, except for consumer goods and industrial sectors, which demonstrate a medium quality level. The study also identifies variability in the content elements of assurance statements.

This study proposes to understand the influence of return on assets, current ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and total asset turnover on firm value. The research method used is quantitative and uses secondary data, namely the corporate sub-sector cosmetics and household goods listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). The sample used is as many as 6 firms, period 2015-2020 through the purposive sampling method. The method of analysis of panel data. The results obtained in this study show that the simultaneous return on assets, current ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and total asset turnover affect the firm value. A partial return on assets effect has a negative and significant impact on firm value, a current ratio effect has a positive and significant impact on firm value, a debt to equity ratio has no significant effect on firm value, and total asset turnover has a positive and significant effect on firm value. The managerial implication of these findings is the importance of management in optimizing the use of assets, maintaining healthy financial ratios, and managing the firm's capital structure wisely. Managers need to pay attention to these financial performance indicators of firm value.
... Despite this, given the informational asymmetry between voters and rulers, the competence of rulers and the signaling of this competence emerge as fundamental variables for success in the electoral campaign (Arvate & Biderman, 2005;Arvarte, Avelino, & Lucinda, 2008). Thus, the public manager, according to agency theory (Jensen & Meckling, 1976), taking advantage of informational asymmetry, can seek to influence public opinion through the discretionary management of the available public budget. ...

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study is to see the impact of the presence of a woman board of commissioners (WBoC) on firm performance (FP). In addition, this study looked at the effect of moderation of family ownership (FO) on the influence of WBoC on FP.Design/methodology/approach: This study used secondary data with a sample of all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021. The study used a total of 788 observations. The data were analyzed using moderate regression analysis with unbalanced panel data.Findings: The results revealed that WBoC did not affect TQ and ROA. Empirical research shows that FO strengthens WBoC in increasing ROA and TQ.Research limitations/implications: In Indonesia, the portion of the representation of each company's woman board of commissioners is only one member on average at 78%. As many as 22% of companies with a board of commissioners are more or equal to 2 members.Practical implications: This study also serves as a guide for shareholders in selecting competent woman boards of commissioners for an effective supervisory system that drives the company's success.Originality/value: This study analyzes the impact of share ownership dominated by family companies on the relationship between the existence of a woman board of commissioners and firm performance. Therefore, this research is significant to understand the role of FO in helping women build leadership, gain recognition, and be empowered to improve firm performance.
... The board of directors is the main instrument for aligning and reconciling the interests of the organizations' partners and those responsible for managing the companies [2]. In this sense, the function of the board of directors is considered essentially as control, based on agency theory, where the board seeks to reduce the opportunism of agents, ensuring that management does not have objectives and interests antagonistic to those of shareholders and owners [3][4][5]. The board serves as a crucial intermediary, facilitating communication between managers and shareholders. ...

Corporate governance relies significantly on the board of directors, who act as custodians of shareholders' interests. The dynamics of social connections between Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and board members form a critical element that influences information exchange within this vital governance structure. This study seeks to assess the impact of these social connections on organizational performance. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the professional backgrounds of CEOs and board members to measure the extent of their social connections. Employing multiple regression analysis with robust error corrections, we considered essential economic and financial metrics, including Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA). Our findings reveal that professional social connections have a positive influence on ROA (β = 0.0230|p-value ≤ 0.05) and EBITDA (β = 420,517,1|p-value ≤ 0.05), while educational connections exhibited no significant effect, and familial connections were found to adversely affect EBITDA (β = − 516,307,0|p-value ≤ 0.05).

The government continues to strive to increase tax revenue targets. These efforts were followed by the government's consistent efforts to minimize tax avoidance through PP 55 of 2022 by developing tax avoidance prevention instruments. This research was conducted to analyze the relationship between corporate governance, financial performance, and the quality of an entity's auditors on the entity's tendency to act tax aggressively. The dependent variable in this research is tax aggressiveness measured by the effective tax rate. The dependent variables are corporate governance (measured by the proportion of independent commissioners and number of audit committees), financial condition (measured by profitability and leverage), and audit quality (measured by dummy variables). Data analysis uses multiple linear regression analysis. The test results show that profitability has a positive effect, and leverage has a negative effect on the tendency for tax aggressiveness. Other variables, namely corporate governance and audit quality, are proven to have no influence on the tendency for tax aggressiveness.
... In the context of public sector organizations, the relationship between principal and agent organizations is present within society as voters and public managers or elected leaders (Gailmard, 2012). Jensen & Meckling (2019) argued that the key assumption underpinning the principal-agent relationship is that the principal and agent are rational, they do not have the same interests and act to maximize their utilities. Elected leaders as agents have incentives to obtain and retain power, hence they need vote share. ...

p>This study investigates the relationship between incumbents' re-election incentives and financial reporting disclosure in the Indonesian local government. This study uses a sample of 351 local governments at the city or district level throughout 2015-2017 when they ran a local election. Content analysis is used to assign scores to the extent of disclosure. The incumbent mayor or regent who runs a second election is signaled by 1 and 0 otherwise as the proxy for the incumbent's re-election incentives. Cross-sectional multiple regressions will be conducted to examine the hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between an incumbent's re-election incentives and disclosure of financial statements in the local government. Our findings show that incumbent re-election incentives do not have a relationship with the disclosure of financial reports. The incumbent incentive to be re-elected does not necessarily drive an incumbent to disclose its financial statements. Regarding the control variables, significant negative relationships exist between dependencies and the size of the local government towards disclosure level. However, the complexity of the population was positively related to the disclosure level of financial reports. On the contrary, political competition, debt ratio, and type of local government were not related to the disclosure level of the local government's financial reports.</p
... Pada SAK lama, kepentingan non pengendali disajikan di antara liabilitas dan ekuitas, bukan bagian dari isi ekuitas pemilik. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka kerangka konseptual penelitian ini sebagai berikut: Agency theory (Jensen & Meckling, 1976) menyatakan bahwa seiring bertumbuh kembangnnya perusahaan, pemilik (prinsipal) dengan keterbatasannya tidak dapat lagi mengelola perusahaan, untuk itu ia membayar profesional yang ditunjuk sebagai manajemen (agen) dan diberi kewenangan untuk mengelola perusahaan. Karena tidak mengelola keseharian roda aktivitas perusahaan, maka pemilik (pemegang saham atau investor sekuritas ekuitas) memiliki keterbatasan informasi tentang perusahaan secara utuh. ...

This study explores the effect of risk management committee gender diversity on the likelihood of financial distress among listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study utilizes the Nigerian Code of Corporate Governance 2018 as an instrumental variable to address endogeneity concerns related to the self-selection of gender diversity on the risk management committee. The dependent variable is the likelihood of financial distress, while the independent variable is the gender composition of the risk management committee. The sample size consists of 12 listed deposit money banks, and the data covers the period from 2017 to 2021. The analysis employs a two-stage regression analysis technique. The findings of this study reveal a significant positive effect of risk management committee gender on the likelihood of financial distress among listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. This suggests that a higher representation of a particular gender in the risk management committee is associated with an increased likelihood of financial distress. The results have important implications for policymakers, regulators, and banking institutions in Nigeria. The study highlights the need to consider gender diversity in risk management committees as a potential driver of financial distress. The findings call for proactive measures to promote a more balanced gender representation and inclusion in corporate decision-making processes within the banking sector. The findings emphasize the significance of gender diversity in risk management practices and provide valuable insights for stakeholders seeking to enhance risk assessment and mitigate the occurrence of financial distress in the banking sector.

This paper examined the impact of profitability, leverage, management ownership, and dividend payout ratio on income smoothing of companies listed in IDX in the range of 2015-2020 based on Eckel Index. The lower the Eckel Index the higher the intensity of income smoothing and vice versa. The hypothesis proposed were tested by a multiple regression analysis. This research concluded that return on asset, debt to capital ratio, and dividend payout ratio have significant and positive impacts on the Eckel Index. It is interpreted that the higher these variables, the lower the intensity of income smoothing. However, this research revealed that management ownership has a negative and significant impact on the Eckel Index, thus proving that managers ownership will drive them to conduct the income smoothing.
... These findings are in line with the theoretical underpinning of the agency theory. This further indicates that an effective and robust risk committee composed of an adequate number of directors with frequent meetings improves monitoring and transparency, which in turn enhances risk disclosure quality (Jensen & Meckling, 1976). On the other hand, the presence of executive directors in the risk committee was found to have an insignificant positive impact on risk disclosure quality consistent with the agency theory. ...

Objective –This study investigated the impact of risk committee characteristics on the risk disclosure quality (RDQ) of listed insurance firms in Nigeria from 2011-2021.Design/Methodology –Data for the research was generated from the annual reports and financial statements of seventeen listed insurance firms sampled out of a population of twenty-one. The study employed descriptive summary statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis and factor analysis to analyze the data gathered.Results –Using factor analysis, it was found that Risk Disclosure Quantity (RDQUANT) has the highest eigenvalue, making it the composite quality of the risk disclosure of listed insurance firms and denoting that the RDQ of insurance firms is best measured by the RDQUANT. Using GLS regression, it was found that Risk Committee Size (RCS) and Risk Committee Meeting (RCM) have a significant positive impact on the RDQ of Listed Insurance firms in Nigeria. Contrary, Risk Committee Executive Presence (RCEXP) has an insignificant negative impact on the RDQ of the listed insurance firms.Research limitations/implications –This result influences the efforts of regulatory authorities in their attempt to develop resilient corporate governance codes that guarantee qualitative risk disclosures. The study recommends that regulatory authorities in the Nigerian insurance industry should mandate the establishment of large risk committees and set higher thresholds for committee meetings over and above the traditional quarterly meeting. The risk committee should be composed of a lower number of executive directors.Novelty/Originality –The originality of this study lies in the usage of factor analysis to determine the best measure of risk disclosure quality in Nigeria. In addition, this is the first study of its kind to determine the impact of risk committee attributes on risk disclosure quality in the Nigerian Insurance industry.

This paper conducts a comprehensive literature review of the factors influencing the emergence of the CEO investment horizon problem – a preference for short-term investments over long-term ones. The root cause of this CEO issue, as in-dicated in existing literature, is often attributed to the CEO's personal risk attitude, shaped by factors like age, tenure, and cultural background.Numerous sources contributing to the short-term investment problem in public companies are described in the current academic literature. Prominent among these determinants are the challenges of quarterly reporting, the association of corporate performance with short-term metrics, market pressures, and the company's specific risk profile. A study by McKinsey & Company, focused on the short horizon problem, demonstrates that companies inclined toward short-term investments exhibit weaker fundamentals and performance. The consulting firm Ernst & Young has introduced the Long-term Orientation Index, offering a basis for cross-country comparison of decision horizons. In 2010, Antia and colleagues introduced a metric for measuring CEO decision horizons, which relies on CEO personal characteristics. Despite these efforts, a comprehensive literature review addressing the specificity of the CEO investment horizon problem and its dis-tinctions from the broader corporate investment horizon problem has been absent.This paper not only investigates the initial empirical exploration of the short investment horizon problem but also raises questions about its cross-country manifestations, its potential correlation with economic crises, and the relevant personal traits of CEOs for its study. Finally, the paper proposes various strategies to mitigate the CEO investment horizon problem within companies.
... According to Jensen & Meckling (1976), a legal agreement known as an agency relationship occurs when one or more people (the principals) select another person (the agent) to carry out a certain activity on their behalf. The agent is then given the freedom to choose what is in the principal's best interest.According to Eisenhardt (1989), agency theory is principally based on three assumptions about human nature (1) that people are typically selfinterested; (2) that people have limited capacity for thinking about the future (bounded rationality); and (3) that people invariably avoid taking risks (risk averse) . ...

This research discusses tax aggressiveness, corporate social responsibility, and capital intensity before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 is still a popular topic today. The COVID-19 has not only affected the health sector but also the economies of almost all parts of the world. The phenomenon of COVID-19 raises discussions about whether there have been changes in company actions before and during the pandemic. Many companies have been negatively affected by the pandemic, but there are some businesses that have survived and remain stable. The findings of this study can be used as a monitoring method to inform stakeholders about company performance both before and during the pandemic. The time frame used in the study was 2018 to 2021. The population in this study was taken from the food and beverage industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The data used was obtained from the company's annual report. The results of this study show that there were differences in tax aggressiveness, disclosure of corporate social responsibility, and capital intensity before and during the pandemic. There was an increase in tax aggressiveness during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the provision of tax incentives by the government, which was seen by companies as a loophole to practice tax aggressiveness. CSR also increased during the pandemic because it is used as a risk management strategy and to increase profits. Meanwhile, the decrease in capital intensity was due to a decrease in the company's fixed assets during the pandemic. Companies are trying to maximize the use of fixed assets and reduce costs that can reduce company profits. Further research is expected to use other variables and conduct research in different sectors with a larger number of samples.

... We postulated that EP has a positive effect on employees' CCR and a negative effect on entrepreneurs' CCR. Following the agency theory (Jensen and Meckling, 1976), it is neither certain that the EP of employees would be fairly acknowledged by the employers nor that higher EP employees would dedicate themselves to the organizations as if they were their own businesses. Some organizations have rules, systems, politics, and cultures that might buffer the employee's EP by implying low tolerance for positive deviant behaviors, such as intrapreneurship (Glinyanova et al., 2021). ...

Purpose Despite the merit of extant studies on career decision regrets, they are not well integrated, are developed at different speeds and differ in focus. Specifically, they do not address an important question about the levels and antecedents of regret arising from choosing entrepreneurship instead of paid employment and vice versa. The authors adopted the regret regulation theory as foundation to examining the moderated effect of entrepreneurial potential (EP) on career choice regret (CCR) among employees and entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach The authors surveyed 721 employees and 724 entrepreneurs from a developing country and applied partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses. Findings Employees regretted their career choice three times more when compared with entrepreneurs. However, the authors failed to conclude that the latter had three times better living conditions when compared with the former. EP negatively influenced the regret of being an entrepreneur in lieu of an employee while it positively influenced the regret of being an employee in lieu of an entrepreneur. The perceived opportunity cost of being a higher EP employee was three times greater when compared with that of being a lower EP entrepreneur. The effect of EP on CCR was mitigated or amplified by duration in the career, former career status, decision justifiability, and perceived environment's supportiveness. Research limitations/implications The design was cross-sectional, thus, the findings cannot be interpreted in the strict sense of causality. Originality/value The authors rely on an important yet often overlooked context of the choice between entrepreneurship and paid employment to test, clarify, and extend the regret regulation theory. The findings have novel human resource management and entrepreneurship policy implications.

Financial statement fraud has received a lot of attention over the past few years and will continue to become a concern because financial statement fraud can appear in various forms such as hiding assets, exaggerating assets, sales and profits, understating liabilities and costs. Even once deceptive fraudulent accounting practices are initiated, a whole system of manipulation will be used to maintain the appearance of sustainability. Financial reports are used by shareholders to measure company performance versus expectations. However, sometimes manipulated to fulfill one's greed. Many studies have been conducted in detecting and predicting the occurrence of financial statement fraud. This study explores the significant impact on corporate culture in the occurrence of financial statement fraud. Culture has been widely accepted as behavior pattern that influences society's character. In studying the occurrence of financial statement fraud, elements of corporate culture need to be considered along with other factors. This research provides a holistic view of the concept of culture and its influence on organizations and behavior. The second objective is to discuss the influence of corporate culture from the perspective of financial statement fraud. The research findings provide suggestions for improving corporate culture.

This study examines the moderating role of ownership concentration on the relationship between board diversity and intellectual capital disclosure. The study sample comprises four hundred and forty-four firm-year observations of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria from 2011 to 2020. After conducting pre- and post-estimation tests, the study runs robust ordinary least squares (OLS) regression to test the developed hypotheses. The results of the selected firms revealed that board gender and board size have positively influenced the disclosure of intellectual capital. The study also found that board composition does not have an influence on the firm’s intellectual capital disclosure. The finding documented that the moderation effect of ownership concentration improves disclosure on the relationship of board gender and board size and intellectual capital disclosure of the selected firms. This study offers some interesting insight into board diversity variables and its effect on ICD of the studied firms. These findings are useful for management to consider the inclusion of more women as part of the board of directors of the non-financial firms in order to influence the decision to increase their ICD. The finding of the study is limited to only listed non-financial firms in Nigeria, This study attempts to fill the gap in the literature by providing insights into the relationship between board diversity, ownership concentration and intellectual capital disclosure. This study adds to the literature as it is one of the first empirical studies to find the moderating role of ownership concentration on the relationship between board diversity and intellectual capital disclosure.

This study used secondary data from banking annual reports listed in IDX during 2018-2021, with a total of 100 data from 25 banking companies that met the purposive sampling criteria. The data were analysed using moderated regression analysis with STATA software. This study found that simultaneously, Non-performing Loan (NPL), Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Third Party Funds (TPF), and Cost Efficiency have a significant impact on profitability. While individually, GCG has a significant negative effect, NPL has an insignificant negative effect, Third Party Funds has a significant positive effect, and Cost Efficiency has a significant negative effect on profitability. Furthermore, this study found that CSR has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between TPF and profitability, but CSR has a negative moderating effect on the relationship between Cost Efficiency and profitability. On the other hand, CSR was unable to moderate the relationship of NPL and GCG to profitability. This study contributes to the literature by suggesting the implementation of CSR not only as a compliance to regulation but also as a strategy to increase banking financial performance.

O presente artigo teve como objetivo compreender o caso da Americanas sob a ótica da Teoria da Agência, identificando as relações principal-agente e os problemas de agência envolvidos na fraude. Além disso, foram analisados os fatos relevantes da fraude e notícias relacionadas, bem como as operações de Risco Sacado na legislação contábil e literatura. Adicionalmente, verificou-se os indicadores financeiros das Lojas Americanas nos últimos dez anos, com o intuito de identificar indícios da fraude nas demonstrações contábeis. A empresa, consolidada no setor varejista, enfrenta desafios recentes decorrentes da pandemia e dos escândalos descobertos em 2023. Nesse cenário, a análise dos indicadores financeiros trimestrais pode revelar tendências em aspectos como estrutura de capital, liquidez, prazos médios e EBITDA. Ademais, o fato relevante divulgado em 13 de junho de 2023 mostra a ocorrência de fraudes contábeis, que não se restringem à indevida contabilização de operações de Risco Sacado. Tais revelações evidenciam que o caso das Lojas Americanas vai além de meras "inconsistências contábeis" e se configura como uma fraude. Para atingir o objetivo proposto por este estudo, foram coletadas, na plataforma Economatica®, as demonstrações contábeis e os indicadores financeiros trimestrais da Americanas de 2010 a 2022. Ademais, buscou-se documentos oficiais no site da empresa, bem como notícias na mídia.
