Determinan Konservatisme Akuntansi: Bukti Empiris pada Perusahaan Manufaktur yang Terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia

Abstract

The principle of conservatism is one of the most influential factors in accounting judgments. However, the phenomenon shows that many companies do not apply the principles of accounting conservatism. The main objective of this study is to examine the effect of managerial ownership, investment opportunity set, and financial distress on the practice of accounting conservatism. This study uses all manufacturing companies whose shares are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2016 to 2019 as the population. Based on the purposive sampling method, obtained as many as 246 observations. The hypothesis in this study was tested using multiple linear regression. The results prove that managerial ownership has a positive effect on the practice of accounting conservatism. However, the variable investment opportunity set and financial distress do not affect the practice of accounting conservatism by management. Profitability and leverage have a role as control variables with negative and positive effects on accounting conservatism, respectively.
