This research investigates the impact of the three earnings management methods according to Dechow and Skinner (2000) and Gunny (2005), i.e., accrual earnings management (AEM), real earnings management (REM), and fraudulent accounting (FRA), on idiosyncratic risk. This research also examines the moderating effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure on these associations. This research employs balance panel data consisting of 492 observations from 2016 to 2019. This research obtains 123 companies listed under the manufacturing industry of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) through purposive sampling. To test the hypotheses, this research uses multiple linear regression models. This research finds that all three earnings management methods are positively associated with idiosyncratic risk. Furthermore, CSR disclosure is proven to weaken the effect of accrual earnings management and fraudulent accounting on idiosyncratic risk, but this does not apply to real earnings management. These results are robust after a sensitivity test. This research fills the existing gap within idiosyncratic risk study. Among similar studies, this research is the first to investigate the effect of fraudulent accounting on idiosyncratic risk and the moderating effect of CSR disclosure. This research also raises awareness of the cost of idiosyncratic risk, especially in emerging markets with relatively smaller stock markets, which makes diversification more challenging. It provides insights to market regulators on how investors can benefit from more disclosures

This study aims to examine the effect of the thin capitalization rules on capital structure (leverage) and tax avoidance. This is quantitative research using the difference-in-difference (DID) method, with multiple linear regression models. The sample used in this research is companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The type of data used in this study is secondary data in the form of financial statements from 2013 up to 2018. The sample selection using the purposive sampling method with the number of samples amounted to 804 observations (firm-year). The regression method employs panel data with a period of six years (2013 to 2018). The results show that the thin capitalization rules reduced the leverage of companies with high and low debt-to-equity ratio (DER). Companies with high DER experience a decrease in leverage 2.3 times greater than companies with low DER. The results also show that the thin capitalization rules do not affect tax avoidance for companies with high and low DER. This research contributes to providing improvement in tax provisions. In practice, it provides recommendations to the Indonesian Tax Authority (ITA) to revise PMK-169/PMK.010/2015 and that ITA should consider using the best practice suggested by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in conducting interest limitation (i.e., the fixed ratio rule).

This research is adopting previous research by Bazart and Pickhardt (2010) with the intention to seek answer whether the effect of reward, tax audit, and penalty in improving compliance individual taxpayer will provide similar results in Indonesia. This research uses experimental research methodology. Experimental forms used in this study is the Time Series Design. The experimental results in Indonesia showed that the implementation of reward for taxpayers along with the implementation of a tax audit and penalty have a positive impact on tax compliance if a private person rather than simply applying the tax assessment and penalties only. In addition, the reward has an impact on the increasing number of contributions reported by an individual taxpayer. Where a positive effect on compliance reward makes taxpayer potential tax evasion becomes a potential obedient taxpayer taxes.
