이익조정이란 실제 기업성과대로 이익을 보고하지 않는 경영자의 의사결정에서 비롯된다. 많은 선행연구들은 이익조정이 경영자의 사적 이득을 얻기 위한 기회주의적 행위뿐만 아니라 기업의 미래전망에 대한 경영자의 사적 정보를 전달하는 수단이 될 수 있다고 주장하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내 공공기관의 이익조정과 미래 경영성과와의 관계를 분석함으로써 이익조정의 함축의미를 실증적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 만약 재량적 발생액으로 측정된 당기의 이익조정이 경영자의 사적 정보를 반영하고 있다면 미래 경영성과를 견인하게 되므로 차후기간의 경영성과와 양(+)의 관계를 나타낼 것으로 예상된다. 반대로, 재량적 발생액이 경영자의 기회주의적 이익조정 의사를 반영한다면 이는 차후기간의 경영성과에 부정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다. 분석결과, 당기의 이익조정은 미래 경영성과와 음(-)의 관계를 나타내었으며, 이러한 관계는 차기 이후 모든 분석기간 지속적으로 나타났다. 위의 결과는 국내 공공기관의 이익조정이 평균적으로는 경영자의 기회주의적 조정동기를 반영하고 있음을 밝히는 실증적 증거라 할 수 있다.

The present study aims to examine the impact of real earnings management on the future value of the firm and its persistence. The study also tests suspect firm effects on the relationship between real earnings management and the future value of the firm. The sample of the present study consists of all listed non-financial firms from the year 2011 to 2018. Real earnings management has been measured in three alternative ways viz., abnormal operating cash flows, abnormal discretionary spending, and abnormal production cost. Tobin's Q is used as a measure of firm value. The interaction term of real earnings management and Tobin's Q is used to test firm value persistence. The results of the analysis disclose that out of three measures of real earnings management, abnormal reduction in discretionary spending only has a significant negative impact on the persistence of firm value. Moreover, the suspect firm analysis reveals that when the underlying motive of real earnings management is to meet zero earnings, both abnormal increases in operating cash flows and abnormal reduction in discretionary spending have a significant negative impact on firm value persistence.

Purpose - Export marketers may have incentives to attempt real earnings management to avoid low reported earnings. Therefore, we attempted to verify the relationship between cost stickiness and real earnings management in the context of export marketing. Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected from exporters that settle-accounts in December excluding financial businesses listed on the stock market from 2015 to 2019. Multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. Findings - The results showed that there is a negative relationship between cost stickiness and real earnings management. In addition, the results showed that export marketers little attempt to offset the cost inefficiency caused by the increase in expense because of cost stickiness with opportunistic management activities through real earnings management. Rather, as the level of real earnings management appears lower, exporters showing cost stickiness are expected to report management performance based on actual marketing. Furthermore, exporters with a high level of managerial centrality or high managerial overconfidence little attempt to offset cost inefficiency caused by cost stickiness with real earnings management activities. Research implications or Originality - Our study is the first to investigate the quality of earnings information of exporters with cost stickiness. Based on the results, we suggested efficient marketing strategies for exporters.

The main objective of this study is to discuss the effect of free cash flow as a moderating variable on managers' decisions as regard earnings management. Companies with free cash flow are expected to refrain from taking opportunistic actions such as earnings management. The research used quantitative methods with sub-group moderating analysis. It is found that there is a significant relationship between past performance and earnings management, where the free cash flow is the moderating variable. The effect of past performance on earnings management is shown to slightly increase as free cash flow is considered. The findings of this study prove that earnings management is a practice that is often done by utilizing the flexibility of accounting recording and recognition mechanisms. Past performance becomes the main variable in encouraging managers to manage earnings by reducing revenue in the current period. This research can also be a reference in explaining managerial behavior and can be a reference to improving ethical human resource capabilities. This research focuses on companies in Indonesia that conduct earnings management by lowering profits as a result of declining past performance and examines aspects of free cash flow that reinforces the conduct of earnings management.

본 연구는 임원배상책임보험제도와 전략적 재무보고간의 관계를 분석하였다. 임원배상책임보험제도는 경영자들을 소송위험으로부터 보호하기 때문에, 경영자들로 하여금 도덕적 해이를 발생시켜 재무보고에 있어서 이익조정과 같은 기회주의적인 행동을 유발시킬 가능성이 존재한다. 이에 본 연구는 2006년부터 2008년까지 상장기업을 대상으로 임원배상책임보험과 재무보고의 관계를 분석하였다. 구체적으로 임원배상책임보험 가입여부가 이익조정에 영향을 미치는지, 반대로 이익조정을 많이 하는 기업이 소송위험을 완화하기 위해 임원배상책임보험에 가입하는지를 살펴보았다. 연구결과 재량적발생액이 높은 기업일수록 임원배상책임보험제도를 구매하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 이익조정에 참여한 경영자 또는 기업일수록 임원배상책임보험제도에 가입하지 않는 것을 의미한다. 임원배상책임보험제도 가입 기업의 이익조정행태를 분석한 결과 유의한 음의 결과를 보였는데, 이는 임원배상책임보험가입제도가 이익조정을 유발시키지 않고, 오히려 기회주의적인 재무보고 활동을 제한하는 것으로 해석된다.

Earnings management is very important for companies that aim for decision-making. The research was conducted to analyze the quality of earnings and income smoothing motives in manufacturing companies in Indonesia. The research approach is carried out with a quantitative approach. The sampling method using purposive sampling was associated with several criteria so that a sample of 130 was determined, which was analyzed during the 4 years of the study. The partial least square method was used for data analysis. The results of the study state that institutional ownership has no effect on earnings quality, institutional ownership has a negative effect on income smoothing, leverage has a negative effect on income smoothing, independent commissioners have a positive effect on earnings quality as well as independent commissioners have a positive effect on income smoothing. We assume that the tendency of income smoothing can affect the quality of efficient earnings. Meanwhile, income smoothing affects the quality of company earnings. Management that performs income smoothing is more aimed at conveying the company's prospects for generating profits rather than opportunistic motives.

This study aims to find empirical evidence of the effect of increasing income on the potential transfer of wealth from manufacturing companies that go public to stakeholders. Earnings management with an accrual approach with the Modified Jones model is an identifier of the availability of earnings management practices, without paying attention to both positive and negative symbols. The interpretation of the results of the discretionary accrual measurement between positive and negative symbols has different meanings. Positive discretionary accruals indicate that management uses income-increasing techniques. Meanwhile, negative discretionary accruals indicate that management uses income-reducing techniques. Income-increasing techniques tend to be viewed as opportunistic behavior of managers. This study used 111 data from manufacturing companies listed on the IDX (Indonesia Stock Exchange) from 2015-2018. Path analysis is used to test the hypothesis. The results of this study are in line with the point of view of management strategy, increasing income is used as a way to transfer potential welfare from the company to stakeholders. Social welfare (tax) and managerial remuneration are proven to be mediators in increasing the effect of increasing income on future company value. Further research can complete the potential welfare transfer against the shareholders related to income-increasing strategy.

This study investigates and analyzes the difference in Indonesian banks' earnings quality in the pre-audit and post-audit period. This study also investigates the difference in audit quality done by public accounting firms. This study employs time series data taken from the unaudited and audited financial statements of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2012-2016. Sample selection is made by using a purposive sampling method. The population of this study is 43 banks, and after checking the data for validity and reliability, the final sample size was 26 banks. Audit quality is operationalized with the size of the auditor. Earnings quality is proxied by accruals calculated using the Beaver and Engel (1996) model. The data analysis method used in this study is the paired-sample t-test and chow test. This study shows that there is no difference in earnings quality in the pre-audit and post-audit period. This study also reveals no difference in audit quality between the big four and non-big four auditors. These findings mean that independent auditors do not play a useful role in increasing the reliability of accounting information presented by management to stakeholders. Besides, this study's results do not verify the agency theory regarding auditors' role to minimize opportunistic management behavior in preparing financial statements.

본 연구에서는 현행 4부의 코스닥소속부제의 실효성을 검증하기 위해 현 제도에 따라 우량기업부로 구분된 기업집단을 대상으로 우량기업부 진입 전 후 기간의 이익조정 추세를 검토하였다. 구체적으로 2011년 현 소속부제의 시행에 따라 우량기업부에 진입한 111개 기업을 대상으로 우량기업부 진입 당해 연도와 진입 이전 이후 2개년을 포함한 총 5개 년도의 재량적 발생액과 실물이익조정치의 변화추이를 살펴보았다. 주요한 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 우량기업부에 소속된 기업만을 대상으로 우량기업부 편입 전 후 기간의 이익조정 추세를 검증한 결과 우량기업부 진입 직전 기간에 모든 이익조정 대용변수가 양(+)방향으로 크게 증가하며 그러한 이익조정치의 평균값이 통계적으로 유의하게 영(0)과 차이가 나는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 우량기업부 진입 직전기간의 증가적 이익조정 현상이 이익조정에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다양한 변인들을 통제한 다변량 분석체계에서도 다시금 입증되고 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 현행 소속부제의 평가시스템이 기업의 재무적 관점에 다소 편중되어 있어 내적가치가 부실한 기업이 우량기업부 진입을 통해 다양한 혜택을 누리고자 소속부 평가에 기초가 되는 우량기업부 진입 직전의 보고이익을 발생액 및 실물활동을 통해 광범위하게 증가시키는 경향이 있음을 보여준다. 이와 같은 본 연구의 결과는 증권시장에 대한 감독기관과 규제기관이 현행 소속부제의 공과 실을 면밀히 파악하여 부실기업과 우량기업을 보다 효과적으로 판별할 수 있는 제도적 장치의 마련을 강구하는 등 코스닥시장의 건전성 회복과 활성화를 위해 소속부제의 효익이 충분히 발휘될 수 있도록 운용의 묘를 살릴 필요가 있다는 정책적 시사점을 제공한다.

To many, recent allegations of earnings management at Enron, coupled with similar ones at many other corporations, are a strong indication of a serious decay in business ethics. Nevertheless, the field of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) has grown exponentially in the last decade. This study investigates the effects of CSR on earnings management. Different to precedent works which focus on Financial Performance, this study attempts to provide empirical evidence for relevance of CSR and Discretionary Accruals(DA). The study used variables in the sustainability report, and DA for its earning management too progress empirical analysis because it is believed that the measurement of accounting transparency is highly related to the CEO's opportunistic selection of the accounting. In terms of Sustainable management activities, Employee training time(ETT) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals(DA). And also Industrial Accidents Ratio(IAR) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals. Consequently, empirical results suggest that Discretionary accruals associated with the company's CSR activities, such as ETT, and IAR. In this study, there are limitation of generalizations and omitted variable problem.
