Abstract

This research aims to obtain empirical evidence in Indonesia whether it is true that companies with boards of commissioners and directors with political, accounting, military background, and the amount of compensation received will affect the selection of revaluation methods to measure their fixed assets that revaluation is commonly used to facilitate the company in obtaining additional loan funds and attract investors to invest. This can occur because in the revaluation method, the company’s fixed assets are presented under fair conditions. In addition, this study also wants to test whether a company with high debt levels will tend to revalue its fixed assets measured by the leverage of the company.
