A Decade of XBRL Research in Accounting in Indonesia: A Literature Study
No full textXBRL research in Indonesia has only begun to show its existence after a decade of the presence of this technology, which is around 2010. This phenomenon in Indonesia has motivated researchers to look at the history of the development of XBRL research as a subarea of accounting in Indonesia in bibliographic form over a period of one decade. Researchers are trying to describe the development of XBRL research in Indonesia and review the possible potential for XBRL research in Indonesia in the future. XBRL research topics in Indonesia are divided into four areas, namely its influence on business, adoption, technology development, and XBRL education. Based on the results of the review, XBRL research in Indonesia is still limited in using empirical research with quantitative methods. This study could be a relevant illustration of how the adoption of XBRL technology in developing countries such as Indonesia. This comprehensive literature review could enrich the knowledge thus inspiring other countries which may be at the same stage as Indonesia in adopting this technology in the business environment

The Effect of Tax Knowledge on Voluntary Tax Compliance with Trust as a Mediating Variable: A Study on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
No full textOne of the determinants of tax compliance is tax. Tax rules often change according to certain conditions. This study examines the role of tax knowledge on volunteer compliance and trust as an intervention variable. The Slippery Slope Framework by Kirchler et al. (2008) was used as the framework of this study. Using a survey method using a questionnaire, this study uses a sample of 108 entrepreneurs belonging to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The data analysis technique used is SEM-PLS. The test results show that tax compliance and trust are influenced by tax knowledge. The results of the study also show that tax knowledge increases trust. Our research also finds that trust partially mediates the effect of knowledge on voluntary taxation. The results of this study indicate the importance of knowledge and trust of taxpayers to improve voluntary tax compliance
Income Tax and VAT Issues Concerning Lease after IFRS 16 Convergence in Indonesia
No full textThis paper aims to analyze Income Tax and Value Added Tax issues on lease transactions after IFRS 16 convergence in Indonesia into PSAK 73. This paper's data collection is through in-depth interviews with informants such as an IAI accounting standards board, lecturers and academics, and Directorate General of Taxes official. We also use secondary data to enrich the analysis. We conclude that the tax authorities need to make tax policies that can provide legal certainty. As a complement, the new tax regulation needs to accommodate a more precise direction of the policy. Among the three available options, we see that realization taxation is more appropriate for the Indonesian situation than mark-to-market or hybrid taxation. To narrow the practical gap between accounting and tax, we recommend that tax authorities initiate a discussion with relevant stakeholders to prevent potential tax disputes in the coming years. Some issues that tax authorities need to notice are withholding tax issues when the lessee records interest expenses and transfer issues when the lessor recognizes a right-of-use asset
Does Intellectual Capital Matter? A Case Study of Indonesia Sharia Banks
Full text linkThis study aim is to examine the impact of Intelectual Capital (IC) on financial performance in the Islamic banking sector in Indonesia. We adopt the Pulic’s value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC™) as the widely used measurement for IC. The paper used secondary data derived from the annual reports of eleven Islamic banks from 2012 to 2016. This study uses firm size and level of risk as a control variable. We utilise the resource dependency theory as an analytical tool. The findings show that the IC does not significantly matter and influence the profitability of Islamic banks. However, the results also show a significant impact on human capital and structural capital on profitability of sharia bank. The findings can be useful as an input for the practitioners in Islamic banks in managing their investments in IC in Indonesia Islamic banks. This paper also contributes to the theory and literature by particularly the adoption of resource dependency theory to analyse the IC in Islamic banks
Earnings Management in the Pre and Post eXtensible Business Reporting Language Period in Indonesia
Full text linkThis study aims to determine and analyze the impact of XBRL adoption on earnings management conducted by company management in Indonesia. Earnings management in this study is proxied by discretionary accruals. The population of this research is manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research sample was selected using the purposive sampling method. The total sample of this research is 15 manufacturing companies. This research period includes the period before the adoption of XBRL (2012-2014) and the period after the adoption of XBRL (2015-2017). Hypothesis testing is done by a paired sample t-test. The results of hypothesis testing indicate that there are significant differences between the levels of earnings management in the period before and after the adoption of XBRL. These results reveal that the adoption of XBRL can limit the opportunistic behavior of management in presenting financial reporting. These results also reveal that the adoption of XBRL can improve the quality of financial reporting
National Culture, IFRS Convergence, and The Accounting Quality: Evidence from EAGLEs Countries
Full text linkThis study aims to evaluate the influence of national culture on the relationship between IFRS convergence and accounting quality of companies in Emerging and Growth Leading Economies (EAGLEs) countries. This study uses measurements of accounting quality: earnings management, timely loss recognition, and value relevance. Cultural factors are measured using Gray's (1988) measurements. The sample in this study were 14 countries with a total of 6,832 observations in the 2012-2018 period. The data in this study used secondary data obtained from the Osiris Database. The results of this study provide evidence that accounting quality in EAGLE countries is positively related to the level of IFRS convergence, especially in earnings management and timely recognition of losses. This shows that IFRS convergence can reduce earnings management and improve the timely recognition of losses. Other results in this study, cultural factors, especially on the value of conservatism, partially support the relationship of IFRS convergence and accounting quality, while the value of secrecy is not support. Keywords: IFRS convergence, accounting quality, national culture, accounting standards, EAGLEs countrie

The Effect of Individual and Organizational Factors on Internal Auditors’ Moral Courage
No full textThis research examines the effect of individual and organizational factors on internal auditors' moral courage to report fraud. The variables of individual factors – namely self-efficacy and resilience – and organizational factors – namely independence of the internal auditor's function and perceived audit committee support – are estimated to have positive effects on internal auditors' moral courage. With a multiple regression model based on questionnaire data from 59 respondents of internal auditors, this study found a positive effect of resilience, the independence of the internal auditor's function, and perceived audit committee support variables on the auditors' moral courage. However, the self-efficacy variable has a marginal negative effect on auditors' moral courage. This negative effect is thought to occur because of the nature of the self-efficacy variable as an individual variable. In contrast, the nature and type of internal audit assignments are a group task, so group solidarity can weaken self-efficacy due to a decrease in confidence to control situations and conditions independently. This study fills a gap in the internal auditor behavior literature by examining the causal effects of individual and organizational factors on the auditors' moral courage. The use of a parsimony multiple regression model involving relevant independent variables developed on a theoretical basis to test the causal effects is the methodological contribution of the study. Finally, this is the first study that measured the independence of the internal auditor's function by combining three critical aspects of an internal audit's authority, namely reporting, recruitment, and budgeting for the Indonesian context
