AbstractWe examine whether the industry expertise of independent directors affects board monitoring effectiveness. We find that the presence of independent directors with industry experience on a firm’s audit committee significantly curtails firms’ earnings management. In addition, a greater representation of independent directors with industry expertise on a firm’s compensation committee reduces chief executive officer (CEO) excess compensation, and a greater presence of such directors on the full board increases the CEO turnover-performance sensitivity and improves acquirer returns from diversifying acquisitions. Overall, the evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that having relevant industry expertise enhances independent directors’ ability to perform their monitoring function.

This research is to prove after the change of chief executive officer (CEO) of earnings management practices and market reaction. The total sample taken was using the nonprabability sampling method with a purposive sampling technique of 48 companies on the IDX which included the LQ45 index. The analysis technique used is simple linear regression and paired sample t-test on the DA and PER values of the company. Based on the results of the analysis found that there is no effect of earnings management on market reaction after one and two years of CEO turnover. These results prove that there is no important information on the announcement of CEO turnover, so it is less able to make significant stock price fluctuations. The next result is no difference in both earnings management and market reaction that occurs one and two years after CEO turnover. Keywords: Chief Executive Officer (CEO); Earning Management; Market Reaction; Price Earning Ratio (PER).

Abstract We study changes in independent director behavior and labor-market outcomes after the experience of a forced Chief Executive Officer (CEO) turnover. We find that independent directors are more willing to fire CEOs of underperforming firms, hire outside CEOs after a firing, and encourage better board-meeting attendance by fellow directors. We also find that the shareholders of poorly performing firms react positively when experienced directors join the board. It does come with a small cost for directors, in terms of additional directorships, although the cost is not as great as that for directors who do not fire the CEO of a poorly performing firm.

AbstractThis study examines board monitoring when a credible chief executive officer (CEO) replacement is on the board. Inside directors whose talents are in greater demand externally, as reflected by their holding outside directorships, are more likely to become CEOs, and their presence is associated with greater forced CEO turnover sensitivity to accounting performance and CEO compensation sensitivity to stock performance. These results reveal that certain insiders strengthen board monitoring by serving as a readily available CEO replacement and contradict the presumption that all insiders are under CEO control. Furthermore, the results persist when accounting for the endogenous firm selection of talented inside directors.

Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling method. The results showed that female chief executive officer and female chief financial officer did not affect earning management practice, but woman as chief audit committee affect the company's earnings management practices.

<p align="center"><em>The objective of this research is to provide empirical evidence of the effect of financial distress toward earnings management and the effect of financial distress toward earnings management that moderated by corporate governance. Financial distress consists of DISTRESS1, DISTRESS2 and DISTRESS3. Earnings management was measured by discretionary accruals using Jones Model, and corporate governance consists of three variables (board of directors, independent commissioner, and audit committee). Board of directors was measured by total board of directors in the firm included chief executive officer (CEO)</em>.<em> I</em><em>ndependent commissioner was measured by the proportion of independent commissioner that is total independent commissioner divided by total board of commissioner and audit committee was measured by total member of audit committee. Control variable in this research is firm size that was measured by logarithm of asset total. The population of this research is 423 non-financial companies were listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). The research data were collected from non-financial companies annual report for the period of 2014. Based on purposive sampling method, there are 62 samples. The research hypothesis were tested by using multiple regression analysis. The results of this research in Model 1 show that firm size variable has significant relationship with earnings management, while DISTRESS1 variable, DISTRESS2 variable, and DISTRESS3 variable have no significant relationship with earnings management. The result of this research in Model 2 show that DISTRESS3 variable, independent commissioner variable, and interaction between financial distress with corporate governance variable have significant relationship with earnings management, while DISTRESS1 variable, DISTRESS2 variable, board of directors variable, audit committee variable, and firm size variable have no significant with relationship earnings management.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p align="center"><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p align="center"><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p>Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan bukti empiris pengaruh kesulitan keuangan terhadap manajemen laba dan pengaruh kesulitan keuangan terhadap manajemen laba yang dimoderasi oleh tata kelola perusahaan.

ABSTRACT:We analyze the board of directors' equilibrium strategies for setting CEO incentive pay and overseeing financial reporting and their effects on the level of earnings management. We show that an increase in CEO equity incentives does not necessarily increase earnings management because directors adjust their oversight effort in response to a change in CEO incentives. If the board's responsibilities for setting CEO pay and monitoring are separated through the formation of committees, then the compensation committee will increase the use of stock-based CEO pay, as the increased cost of oversight is borne by the audit committee. Our model generates predictions relating the board committee structure to the pay-performance sensitivity of CEO compensation, the quality of board oversight, and the level of earnings management.
