Authors:Angelia Monique, Iman Harymawan Pages: 10 - 21 Abstract: This study aimed at analyzing the impact of Industrial specialization auditor on audit report lag and how the related party transaction affects the relationship between Industrial specialization auditor and audit report lag. This study used 1,897 observations from 353 different firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2010 to 2017. Industrial specialization auditor was measured using market share based on total assets. This study used an Ordinary Least Square Regression analysis model. This study found that firms audited by the industrial specialization auditors had shorter audit report lag. This study also found that firms with high disclosure of the related party transactions had shorter audit report lag and those audited by the industrial specialization auditors belonging to the related party transactions did not extend (shorten) the audit report lag. These results indicate that firms audited by the industrial specialization auditors influenced the audit report lag; firms with high disclosure of the related party transactions influenced the audit report lag; and firms audited by the industrial specialization auditors belonging to high related party transactions did not influence the audit report lag. The implication of this study can be used by the firm management as a consideration in selecting the auditors. PubDate: 2022-03-26 DOI: 10.26675/jabe.v6i2.16888 Issue No:Vol. 6, No. 2 (2022)

Authors:Aulia Herdiani Pages: 34 - 40 Abstract: This research highlights the motivation of stock repurchase in Indonesia and how corporate governance influences the decision making to perform stock repurchases. Each country has different motivation to repurchase stocks. This study examines the motivation based on six stock repurchase hypotheses. Further, this study examines the interaction effect of both mechanisms. The data of stock repurchase were collected manually from the corporate events issued by the companies. The test is carried out based on two corporate governance mechanisms, internal and external mechanisms, which have different tendencies in the corporate governance supervision system. Based on the analysis results, stock repurchase in Indonesia is motivated to maintain the sustainability of the authority of the shareholders, especially due to fluctuated economic conditions.
