Abstract: This study aims to examine the effect between abnormal audit fee, which is the difference between actual audit fee and normal audit fee levels, on the audit quality proxied by accrual discretionary. The study was conducted on 414 samples of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2013-2018 observation period. The multiple linear regression test results show a relationship between the main variables is asymmetric, which depends on the sign of abnormal audit fees. For observations with negative abnormal audit fees or below normal audit fee levels, it’s showed that there is no significant effect between audit quality and abnormal audit fees. In fact, the findings indicate that there is a negative effect between abnormal audit fees and audit quality when tested on observations with negative abnormal audit fees or above normal audit fees levels. These results indicate that there is a dependence between the auditor and the client when the client pays a high audit fee so that it is possible to let the client manage earnings through discretionary accruals, which decreases the audit quality.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effect of audit rotation and audit fee policy toward audit quality with lowballing audit practice as the intervening variable. Research methodology: The research method used was path analysis with a sample of twenty manufacturing companies in Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2015-2019. Results: The research results prove that the audit rotation and audit fee policy significantly affect the audit quality through the lowballing audit.

SUMMARY: This study examines whether and how audit quality proxied by the magnitude of absolute discretionary accruals is associated with abnormal audit fees, that is, the difference between actual audit fee and the expected, normal level of audit fee. The results of various regressions reveal that the association between the two is asymmetric, depending on the sign of the abnormal audit fee. For observations with negative abnormal audit fees, there is no significant association between audit quality and abnormal audit fee. In contrast, abnormal audit fees are negatively associated with audit quality for observations with positive abnormal audit fees. Our findings suggest that auditors’ incentives to deter biased financial reporting differ systematically, depending on whether their clients pay more than or less than the normal level of audit fee. Our results are robust to a variety of sensitivity checks.

Transfer price is a transaction for determining the selling price of a service, intangible assets, and goods to parties who have a special relationship which opens up opportunities for abuse of power by management and controlling shareholders. This study aims to examine the effect of tunneling incentives and tax minimization, which are thought to motivate management in deciding transfer prices. With the purposive sampling method, a total of 58 non-BUMN manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange were obtained in 2018. The test results with multivariate regression showed that tunneling incentives had no effect on transfer pricing. However, tax minimization by management has a negative effect on transfer pricing. This results indicate that the determination of transfer prices is more motivated by management's expectations in order to minimize taxes in the next period.
