This study aims to examine the effect of audit quality and ownership structure on earnings management through real activities. The audit quality tested is the size of the public auditor's office and auditor independence. The ownership structure that has been examined for its impact on management management is institutional ownership, managerial ownership, and foreign ownership. Earnings management through real activities is measured by three methods, namely abnormal cash flow from operation (CFO), abnormal discretionary expense, and abnormal production cost. The sample of this research is manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2018. With the purposive sampling method, the final sample is 175 company-years. The results showed that auditor quality and ownership structure had no effect on earnings management as measured by abnormal CFO. Meanwhile, abnormal production cost is not proven to be influenced by ownership structure but is negatively affected by audit quality as measured by Auditor Firm size. Ownership structure and audit quality are proven to have an effect on earnings management, which is measured by abnormal discretionary expense.

This  research  focused  on  manufacturing companies  that  listed  on  the  Indonesia Stock Exchange. Sample was collected using   purposive sampling method and resulted 31  companies as a final sample.  The  data are analyzed by using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results of  this research indicate  that the  workload  has a negative  impact on  audit quality.  Audit tenure has a positive impact on audit quality. Audit committee reduces the negative impact of workload on audit quality. And audit committee reduces the positive impact of audit tenure on audit quality.

The sample of this study is manufacturing companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2012-2015. Samples are collected by purposive sampling and resulted in 58 companies as the final sample. Data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) for testing hypothesis with significance level 5%.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the relation between two dimensions of auditor quality, namely, auditor industry specialization and auditor reputation and the audit report lag. Design/methodology/approach The data collection focuses on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the financial year of 2010 and 2011. To ensure data homogeneity and reduce industry bias, this study focuses solely on manufacturing companies identified by the Indonesian Capital Market Directory. Findings This study finds a negative and significant association between industry-specialist auditors and audit report timeliness. Companies audited by industry-specialist auditors have shorter audit delays. The authors also find evidence that Big 4 auditors perform significantly faster audit work than their non-Big 4 counterparts. In addition, this study reports a statistical and significant relationship between auditing complexity, companies’ profitability, auditors’ business risk, and industry classification and audit report lag. The results show that firms with a large number of subsidiaries and firms experiencing poorer financial performance are found to be associated with longer reporting delays. Moreover, audit report timeliness is found to be faster for companies in the low-profile industry sector and owned by family members. Research limitations/implications Similar to other empirical investigations, this study is not without certain caveats. First, the period of audit report lag in this study reflects the audit work from the year-end to the audit report date. The authors do not consider audit work conducted outside this period in the analysis. Second, there are numerous control variables and although the authors have attempted to capture those variables to maintain the integrity of the research there are likely other excluded variables that may be important in explaining audit report timeliness. Finally, there are other factors, for example, an administrative approval process with the audit firm home office, which can affect audit report lags but have not been included in the model analysis. Future studies can seek to focus on refinements to the proxy measures for dependent and experimental variables. Practical implications Insights drawn from this study may be of assistance to policy makers as they consider the costs and benefits associated with varying levels of audit market concentration as well as providing a snapshot of the level of non-compliance on audit timeliness in Indonesia. Originality/value This study provides further empirical evidence on the relation between auditor quality and audit report lag using data from a different domestic setting. This study also enriches the auditor quality literature by employing industry-specialist and Big 4 auditors as a predictor for the timeliness of audit reports.

This study aims to analyze the effect of auditor switching and audit quality on going concern audit opinion in listed manufacturing companies of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) in the year 2006 to 2008. Auditor switching was marked by a change to the Public Accountant firms (KAP) who perform the audits or companies used the services of an auditor different than before. Audit quality is proxied by the scale of the BigFour auditors or non-Big Four. Going-concern audit opinion is the explanation given by the auditor if there is any doubt regarding the ability of the company to survive in the future. This study used 70 samples out of 452 populations, using purposive sampling technique in which the main criterion is the sample company received going-concern audit opinion in the year preceding the auditor switched. Results of the study showed that the change of auditors and audit quality is not a factor in determining going concern audit opinion of the company.
