The interesting findings that characterize the difference are placed on Quality of Annual Report.

This study is entitled Analysis of Factors Affecting Voluntary Disclosure (Empirical Study of Manufacturing Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange Period 2017-2019). This study aims to examine the effect of leverage, liquidity, profitability, company size, managerial ownership, and institutional ownership on voluntary disclosure. Data analysis methods used are multiple regression analysis, simultaneous significance test and partial significance test. Simultaneous significance test results show that leverage, liquidity, profitability, company size, managerial ownership, and institutional ownership have a significant effect on voluntary disclosure. The results of the partial significance test show that leverage and firm size affect voluntary disclosure, while liquidity, profitability, managerial ownership, and institutional ownership do not affect voluntary disclosure. Keywords: voluntary disclosure, leverage, liquidity, profitability, company size, managerial ownership, ins...
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the extent of company disclosure in Indonesia is affected by external factors in addition to internal factors. Many previous studies relating to disclosure conducted in Indonesia only focused on the internal factors, e.g. corporate governance, ownership structure (blockholder) and total assets. Further, I address the possibility of non-linear relationship between ownership structure on company disclosure and also the impact of competition as an external factor to company disclosure level. This study employs Botosan Index and Herfindahl Index (HI) as a proxy for company disclosure and competition. The result shows that corporate governance practice, competition, and size have a positive influence on company disclosure leves.. When blockholder ownership is divided into three groups: low ownership (less than or equal 20%), medium ownership (between 20.1% and 50%, and high ownership (greater than 50%), I find that companies with medium blockholder ownership have a lower disclosure level than low ownership, while companies with high ownership have a higher disclosure level. Therefore, the existence of blockholder ownership ranging between 20.1% until 50% tends to yield the alignment effect whereas blockholder ownership greater than 50% tends to yield the entrenchment effect. Finally, the result also shows that leverage does not significantly impact on company disclosure.

Lack of effective corporate governance mechanism and disclosure transparency frameworks have been partly blamed for the 1997-1999 East Asia economic crises. Consequently, Indonesia, together with many countries across the globe have been actively reviewing and improving their corporate governance and transparency mechanisms. Theoretically, corporate governance mechanism is designed to monitor and evaluate decisions made by managers in the management of a company to reduce agency cost and information asymmetry between the shareholders and the management. The main objective of the study is to examine the effect of corporate governance mechanism on the level of voluntary disclosure in Indonesia, a country that has adopted a two-tier board system. The two-tier board system is considered a better system compared to one tier board system since all members of the board are non-executives. Therefore, the board members are more independent and objective in supervising and monitoring the performance of executive managers. This study investigates four corporate governance variables which are expected to influence the level of voluntary disclosure; (1) composition of independent members of Board of Commissioners (BOC), (2) composition of family members on the BOC, (3) audit quality, and (4) managerial ownership. The sample consists of companies listed on Bursa Saham Indonesia for the year ended 2008. The influence of corporate governance on the level of voluntary disclosure is analyzed using multiple regression method. As expected, the results show that the compositions of independent BOC and auditor's quality have a positive and significant relationship with the level of voluntary disclosure. Meanwhile, the composition of family members on the BOC has negatively influenced the disclosure. The results suggest that the corporate governance structure in a two-tier board system, specifically in Indonesia, is not significantly different from a one tier board system in influencing the level of voluntary disclosure.

The purpose of this study is to examine corporate governance (CG) disclosure, particularly audit committee and internal audit disclosure, of listed firms in Indonesia. To the best of the researcher's knowledge, no previous studies have specifically examined the compliance level of listed firms in Indonesia with prevailing CG regulations, specifically related to audit committee and internal audit disclosures. We compared annual reports of 443 listed firms between 2012 and 2013 based on the regulations that govern disclosures set by the Indonesian Capital Market Authority. It was found that the level of disclosure 2012 and 2013 on CG, particularly with regards to audit committees and internal audits, was relatively low. Specifically, the level of disclosure was only 39.5% and 43.9% in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The old regulation lacked detailed requirements, meaning that the level of disclosure varied greatly across firms. The revised regulations announced in 2012 were stricter ...

This paper investigates the level of voluntary disclosure in the annual reports of listed companies in Malaysia by examining the impact of ownership structure. A mixed methods approach was adopted to analyse the content and level of information disclosed voluntarily in companies' annual reports. Family-controlled companies tend to voluntarily disclose information in relation to external factors and global conditions. Most family-controlled companies provide financial warnings in their disclosures. Studies that examine a voluntary disclosure practice by family-controlled companies in Malaysia are limited. As such, little is known about the effect of ownership structure on the level of voluntary disclosure.
Corporate Governance and Corporate Transparency of Indonesian Listed Companies
International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2012
During Asian financial crisis in 1997, some Indonesian listed companies suffered by decreasing firm value and poor performance. The dominant factors that contributed to Asian financial crisis are poor corporate governance and a lack of transparency. As an attempt to improve corporate governance practice of Indonesian corporations, some reforms have been conducted by Indonesian regulatory authorities such as the code of good corporate governance with the objective to maximize shareholder and firm value by enhancing transparency, accountability, reliability, responsibility, and fairness. This study examined the relationship between those corporate governance attributes and corporate transparency of Indonesian listed companies by exploring the purposive sampling method, 88 companies were selected as the sample of this study. The finding of this study showed that board size and proportion of independent member on board positively affect corporate transparency. It means the corporate tra...
Corporate Governance Mechanisms and Voluntary Disclosure
2020
Corporate disclosure and corporate governance are two inseparable instruments of investor protection. This research sought to find evidence on how corporate governance mechanisms affect the extent of voluntary disclosures. Voluntary disclosures were measured using content analysis on published annual reports. The sample of this research consisted of 81 firm-year observations from 27 firms of consumer goods sector listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2018. Using multiple regression method, the result has shown that board size and board independence increase voluntary disclosures, indicating that the commissioners have effectively represented the interests of shareholders by monitoring and encouraging the management to increase disclosure. This research provided new evidence that family ownership increases voluntary disclosure, suggesting that family firms are more concerned by the costs of non-disclosure. Meanwhile, institutional ownership does not significantly affect vo...
