Accounting information is one of many informations that is used in making decisions by investors. Accounting information has value relevance when the information raises investor reactions, meaning that the information is used for decision making that affects stock prices. This study aimed to examine the value relevance of earning value and the fair value measurement of non-financial assets, along with the role of corporate governance in increasing the value relevance of both informations. This study used 142 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2012-2017 as study samples. Moedaretd Regression Analysis was used as an analytical tool to test the relationship of study variables. The results showed that earning and the fair value measurement of non-financial assets had value relevance. Both of these informations are considered useful by investors for their decision making. Corporate governance was found to play a role in increasing the value relevance of earning and the fair value measurement of non-financial assets. Corporate governance is able to reduce agency conflicts that can cause information to be biased for investors. The existence of corporate governance provides assurance that informations has been fairly presented to investors, thereby increasing value relevance.

Purpose This study aims to examine the relationship between accounting measurement method of biological asset and financial reporting quality. Specifically, this study examines whether using fair value method or the historical cost method on biological asset provides different financial reporting quality. Design/methodology/approach This study uses data from 38 agricultural companies that are members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. The annual reports of 38 companies from the Palm Oil Growers over a five-year period starting from 2011 to 2014 are analysed. Findings This study shows that companies using historical cost measurement produce less reliable and less relevant information compared to the companies that are using fair value measurement. Research limitations/implications The results in this study imply that the use of fair value measurement improves the quality of financial information. Practical implications This study supports IASB’s justification of developing IAS 41 as the principle-based standard that better represents the financial information related to biological asset and subsequently lead to good accountability and harmonisation practices. Originality/value This study provides evidence on the best measurement to be used in agriculture activities using a larger sample size of few countries. In addition, this study contributes to the existing literature on the effect of accounting methods on financial reporting quality.
