The Effect of CSR, Information Asymmetry and ROA on Real Earnings Management with Size as a Moderating Factor

This study examines the effect of CSR, information asymmetry. and ROA on real earnings management with company size as a moderating variable. The sample was selected using purposive random sampling method on manufacturing companies listed on the IDX for the period of 2015-2018. The results show that all variables (CSR, information asymmetry, and ROA) have a signific ant effect on abnormal operating cash flows. However, abnormal operating costs are significantly influenced only by CSR and information asymmetry. Meanwhile, abnormal production costs are significantly influenced by CSR and ROA. The final results show that total real earnings management is influenced by two important factors: Information Asymmetry and ROA. Additionally, the results indicate that company size can moderate the influence of CSR asymmetry and ROA on real earnings management practices. This study contributes to filling the research gap regarding independent factors affecting real earnings management

The Effect of Audit Quality on Real Earnings Management: Evidence from Jordan

The purpose of the current study is to examine whether audit quality is capable of restricting real earnings management in a developing country such as Jordan. The fixed effect method was used to study the association between two audit quality (audit fees and audit firm size), and cash flow from operations (CFO), discretionary expenditure (DISX), and production cost (PROD) as proxies of real earnings management, for the industrial and service firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period 2014-2023. Using 740 firm-year observations, the results showed that the audit fees (AFEE) are significantly and negatively related to cash flow from operations (CFO) and discretionary expenditure (DISX), and also significantly and positively related to production cost (PROD). Meanwhile, the result showed that the existence of audit firm size (B4) has a negative and significant effect on cash flow from operations (CFO) and production cost (PROD), and a positive and significant effect on discretionary expenditure (DISX). Further, for the control variables, the results showed that the firm size (FSIZE) has an insignificant effect on all model variants of real earnings management (REM). Meanwhile, financial leverage (LEV) has a negative effect on all model variants of real earnings management (REM). Thus, these findings provide shreds of evidence for all the regulators, investors, and executives in Jordan due to the significant impact on public policies and interest to the regulators and standard setters.

Comparative Analysis of the Level of Financial Efficiency in the National Construction Services Industry Before and After the Implementation of PSAK 72 with a Two-Stage Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

This study analyzes the financial efficiency of Indonesia's national construction services industry before and after the implementation of PSAK 72 using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. It aims to address the poor performance of contractor companies, which have negative operating cash flows and high Debt to Equity Ratios (DER). Input variables include Net Fixed Assets, Operating Expenses, and Total Employees, while output variables are Revenue and Profit Before Tax. Efficiency scores range from 0 to 1, with scores close to 1 indicating high efficiency. Prior to PSAK 72, PP Presisi Tbk and Wijaya Karya Bangunan Gedung Tbk were the most efficient companies, consistently achieving perfect efficiency scores. Total Bangun Persada Tbk was the least efficient. After PSAK 72, Bukaka Teknik Utama Tbk reached maximum efficiency in 2021, while Brantas Abipraya (Persero) was the least efficient in 2020. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test showed the data was not normally distributed, leading to a non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank test. The test indicated a significant difference in financial efficiency before and after PSAK 72, with a p-value of 0.04. This suggests a notable impact of PSAK 72 on the efficiency of construction companies.

The Determinants of Corporate Cash Holdings: Novel Evidence from Emerging Countries

The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of corporate cash holdings in emerging countries. The sample comprises non-financial firms from six emerging countries, five of them commonly referred to as BRICS, plus Turkey. The dataset includes the data of 4,769 firms and covers a ten-year period from 2012 to 2021, resulting in a total of 47,690 firm-year observations. We run panel regressions, specifically fixed and random effects models, and conduct the J.A. Hausman [1] test to choose between the latter. We use several firm-specific variables as independent variables and the GDP growth rate and the inflation rate as country-specific control variables. The results reveal that firm size, leverage, capital expenditures, net working capital, operating cash flow, dividend payments, firm age, and research and development (R&D) expenditures are significant determinants of corporate cash holdings, with some differences among countries and/or industries in terms of the sign and the significance levels. The macroeconomic variables showed significant results in some countries and industries, yet they were not consistent enough to make general conclusions. This study provides new empirical evidence on the determinants of corporate cash holdings by using a large dataset from major emerging countries. Our findings have important implications for corporate managers and policymakers in designing cash holding and liquidity policies. A comprehensive understanding of the main determinants of corporate cash holdings enables managers to adopt appropriate financing and investing strategies in the long term, as well as better short-term financial policies.

Impact of environmental, social, and governance rating disagreement on real earnings management in Chinese listed companies

This study examines the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rating disagreement on real earnings management in Chinese companies. Using ESG ratings from Huazheng, Wind, SynTao Green Finance, and Bloomberg, we find that increased disagreements in ESG rating lead to higher real earnings management in the current period and over the next 1 to 2 years. This effect is driven by external attention, compensation incentives, and reputational pressure. Furthermore, companies with a financial management background and younger management show a stronger correlation. Specifically, ESG rating disagreement has a significant impact on the manipulation of discretionary expenses and production costs but not on operating cash flows. Additionally, high ESG-rated companies tend to manage their earnings through discretionary expenses when rating disagreements arise. Overall, this study reveals the potential incentive mechanisms for such companies, providing theoretical support for understanding the factors influencing real earnings management. It also suggests that regulators and investors should fully consider the impact of ESG rating disagreement when assessing company performance.

Clan culture and corporate cash holdings: Are private companies supported by informal institutions?

In this paper, we empirically examine whether clan culture in China, an extant informal institution established 2000 years ago, affects corporate cash holdings. We use city-level pedigree density as a proxy for clan culture and find that private firms deeply entrenched in clan culture are less likely to hold cash. Our results hold after a series of robustness tests, including instrumental variable regression, alternative measures, and controlling for other influencing factors. Mechanism tests demonstrate that in places with strong clan culture, the cash holdings of private firms are less sensitive to the volatility of operating cash flow, and those non-state-owned enterprises are more likely to obtain alternative financing sources and less likely to carry out high-risk activities. Cross-sectional analyses show that the negative relationship between clan culture and corporate cash holdings is more prominent for firms located in areas with lower marketization or worse economic development. Furthermore, under the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, firms with strong clan culture enjoy faster growth in trade credit rather than in interest-bearing liabilities. Overall, our findings provide evidence for the existence of sociocultural determinants of corporate cash holding decisions, as they demonstrate that clan culture secures corporate operations and thus reduces the precautionary motives for holding cash.

AKUNTANSI MANAJEMEN LINGKUNGAN, INOVASI HIJAU, DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP KINERJA MANAJERIAL

Purpose: The study aims to explain how the application of environmental management accounting and green innovation affects managerial performance in manufacturing companies listed in the BEI in 2021. Methodology/approach: Research methods using explanatory methods. Of the 198 manufacturing companies sampled using purposive sampling, 60 companies obtained samples. Findings: Research results show that environmental management accounting has no impact on managerial performance, and product innovation has an impact on management performance. Environmental management accounting has no impact because some companies charge relatively small environmental costs. But in a descriptive analysis test on the mean value, it yields a minus value, which means that the accounting company's operating cash flow value in 2020 is smaller than in 2021, thus yielding a minus. Practical implications: This is because, at the time of the COVID pandemic, the results were in line with the triple bottom line theory, which measures the performance of a company in a comprehensive way by focusing on profit-making, social concerns, and environmental conservation. Originality/value: In Stakeholder Theory, companies determine and determine environmental management strategies and accounting that are able to maintain the interests of stakeholders, which later stakeholders can contribute to the company to improve company performance and value in the future. Green Innovation can also improve managerial performance by applying new technologies (hardware or software) related to production processes that will lead to energy efficiency, pollution reduction, waste recycling, environmentally friendly design and environmental management within the company

Earnings management and judicial recovery: evidence for brazilian companies

Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between judicial recovery and insolvency with the Real Earnings Management (REM) level of publicly traded Brazilian companies in the period 2016-2020. Methodology: The estimated econometric model was panel data regression. The dependent variable was the level of REM measured based on Roychowdhury (2006), which estimates the manipulation of real activities through the analysis of abnormal movements in operating cash flow, discretionary expenses and production costs. The sample collected from 2016 to 2020 consists of 723 non-financial companies. Results: As main results, the study was able to demonstrate that there is an inverse relationship between judicial recovery and insolvency with earnings management. In other words, companies that are in judicial recovery or insolvent tend to have less earnings management. The findings of this research suggest that managers of companies undergoing judicial recovery have less incentive to engage in discretionary practices, as they are thus able to highlight their financial difficulties and obtain the judicial benefits of the process. Contributions of the Study: Although many studies evaluate the factors that influence earnings management, this work seeks to contribute to the study of accounting earnings management and uses an operational proxy, associating it with companies undergoing judicial recovery. Furthermore, with evidence of less earnings management by these companies, there is a possible improvement in the shareholders' perspective regarding the future of the company's finances, thus also contributing to investors' decision-making.

Do Cash-Flow Performance Metrics in CEOs’ Compensation Contracts Enhance Firm Innovation?

ABSTRACT Building on prior research showing a positive link between internally generated cash flows and innovation output, we hypothesize and find that the inclusion of cash-flow performance metrics in CEOs’ compensation contracts positively impacts firm innovation. Our findings are consistent with the theory that cash-flow metrics incentivize CEOs to make prudent investment decisions, thereby addressing both the overinvestment and the underinvestment challenges for firm innovation. As a result, firms utilizing cash-flow metrics exhibit lower innovation input and higher innovation output compared to firms not employing such metrics. Furthermore, our research indicates that the incentive effect of cash-flow metrics on firm innovation is more pronounced when cash flows convey unique information not reflected in earnings and when CEOs have longer expected employment horizons. This study underscores the effectiveness of cash-flow metrics in motivating management to promote firm innovation. Data Availability: Subscription-based data are obtained from Wharton Research Data Services; public data are obtained from public sources specified in the paper.

Peran Kepemilikan Manajerial Memoderasi Tingkat Hutang, Ukuran Perusahaan, Arus Kas Operasi Terhadap Persistensi Laba

This study uses management ownership as a moderating variable to examine the effects of debt levels, firm size, and operating cash flow on earnings persistence. Quantitative approaches are employed in this study. Up to 80 samples were selected via purposive selection, with the population of this study consisting of industrials sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019–2022. Multiple linear regression analysis models and moderated regression analysis (MRA) were used for the hypothesis testing, with the moderator variables being tested. The results of this research based on partial testing (t test) probability value of the debt level variable is 0.008. The firm size variable is 0.032. The operating cash flow variable is 0.160. The managerial ownership variable is 0.014. The degree of debt and management ownership have an interaction variable of 0.016. The interaction variable between firm size and managerial ownership is 0.010. Additionally, managerial ownership and operating cash flow interact with a coefficient of 0.132. Known that debt levels and firm size have positive effect on profit persistence, while operating cash flow has no effect on profit persistence. The moderating effect of managerial ownership can amplify the favorable impact of debt levels on earnings persistence. However, the favorable impact of company size and operating cash flow on earnings persistence cannot be amplified by managerial ownership
