The determinants of firm value: The role of earnings management and good corporate governance

Abstract

The conflict of interest between managers (agents) and the owner (principals) occurs all the time, although the level of the conflict is not always similar. This is because there are separation roles or a difference of interests. In many Indonesian banks, the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is mandatory. But, in manufacturing companies in Indonesia, GCG is still not a must. So, what is the role of GCG in conjunction with firm value in manufacturing companies? In addition, many manufacturing companies use earnings management as a benchmark of firm value. It is clear that earnings management can be placed as an antecedent of firm value. The purpose of this research is to analyze the determinants of firm value in relation to earnings management and the mechanism of GCG as a moderating variable. The GCG is not viewed as an antecedent variable. The research sample is 46 companies in the entire industry of consumer goods of manufacturing companies in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. By specific considerations, the number of the sample is reduced to 39 out of 46 companies. The method used is a moderated regression analysis (MRA). The results show that the earnings management and the mechanism of GCG have an impact on the firm value. The dimension of GCG, namely, independent commissioner, managerial ownership, and audit quality can be placed as moderating variables and as determinants of firm value. In order to increase the firm value, it is advisable that this industry should strictly apply the mechanism of GCG as mandatory. However, the issue of GCG as an independent or moderating variable still remains debatable.

“…Furthermore, Karim et al (2011) explained that the performance could reflect turnover of fixed assets, return on investment, return on equity, net profit and operating profit, return on capital investment, and earnings per share [33]. However, Subanidja et al (2016) argued that the effect of earnings management on company performance is only temporary, and not only for financial aspects but for all strategic aspects [34].…”

“…Hal ini berarti manajemen laba dengan pola income increasing tidak berpengaruh pada nilai perusahaan atau dapat dikatakan hipotesis pertama ditolak (H1 tidak diterima). Hasil penelitian ini tidak sesuai dengan penelitian Subanidja et al(2016) dan Susanto & Christiawan (2016) yang membuktikan bahwa manajemen laba memiliki pengaruh yang positif pada nilai perusahaan. Hasil penelitian ini sesuai dengan hasil yang didapat oleh Ustman & Ghofar (2016), Susanto (2017) dan Sunardi (2018) yang mendapatkan hasil bahwa manajemen laba tidak berpengaruh pada nilai perusahaan.…”
