1 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. BackgroundIssues
Enterprise resource management and performance management described the
company through the financial statements. In Indonesia, the financial statements must
be prepared based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) issued by
the Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IAI). In the financial reporting process,
managers are given the freedom by Generally Accepted Accounting priciples (GAAP)
in selecting accounting methods adapted to the economic conditions in the company.
Unstable economic conditions led to the economic conditions that are faced by every
company were different. In order to not to harm investors and creditors as users of
financial statements information, the company should conservative in making
financial reports.
The concept of conservatism in GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles) set at SFAC No. 2 that describes the characteristics that make accounting
information can be useful. Conservatism is a reaction to the uncertainty. Paul Grady
(1965) in Novikasari and Sofyan (2013) describes ten basic concepts that are
considered underlying business and accounting practices in the United States. Grady
describes the basic concepts underlying the concept of quality as the usefulness and
reliability of accounting information or as the limitations inherent in the financial
statements. One of ten basic concept is the concept of conservatism
The principle of conservatism is the precautionary principle to a uncertain
circumstances to avoid excessive optimism of management and owners of the
company. Conservatism has a basic rule, namely: (1) should not anticipate earnings
(19)
2 before occurred, but have to admit losses may occur. (2) when faced with two or more
preferred method of accounting, the accountants must choose a method which at least
profitable for the company (Suharli, 2009). Selected technique is generating value of
assets and low income, or who produce value of debt and the cost of the highest.
Consequently, if there conditions that may lead to losses, costs or debt then losses,
costs or debt must be immediately recognized. Then, if there is a condition that is
likely to generate profits, income or assets then profit, revenue or assets should not be
recognized immediately, until the condition has been really realized (Ghozali and
Chariri, 2007).
Conservatism is necessary to minimize or even eliminate the fault recording
and overstatement in the financial statements. Because there are many cases of
recording errors or even fraud that ends by harming one of the parties, especially the
shareholders. As example is the case of the profit mark-up undertaken by the
management of Toshiba revealed in 2015. The company proved do mark up on profit
reached 151.8 billion yen, or around Rp 16 trillion. It’s fraud has happened for six years since 2008 until march 2014. The amount of profit is marked up for three times
of estimated profit at Toshiba predictions. Tanaka and Sasaki as president and vice
president of Toshiba considered responsible for this case because the cheating
occurred in their period. Because of discovery means that Toshiba should resettle its
financial statements in April 2008 to March 2014 and cause the company's president
and vice president resigned. Because of this incident firm profound to say sorry to
shareholders for causing serious problems for them (beritasatu.com).
This case illustrates that conservatism is needed in order to make user of
(20)
3 Because today many case of fraud by inflating the company's profit because of some
motifs such as raising the value of company, stock price and so on. Therefore the
accounting conservatism absolute need to provide better financial reporting and
pressing cheating. As Starling (1970) in Novikasari and Sofyan, (2013) states that the principle of conservatism is the most influential in accounting valuations. This
principle emphasizes to choose alternative accounting records have the smallest
possibility to re-overstate assets and income. The principle that has become the
standard primary listing in the first three decades of the 20th century applied to offset
optimism management as well as their tendency to overstate clicking financial
statements. Practitioners of accounting and accounting standard setters itself . This led to the financial statements will generate profits that can be accounted by the company
so that profits are at present not a mark-up and will not harm any of the parties.
Today, companies face greater pressure to provide more reliable financial
statements. Several parties, including the FASB (regulator US accounting) were
advised to abandon the principle of conservatism in the accounting reporting of the
company to provide financial statements that do not bias. Also in recent years, capital
market participants require registration of the company's assets value closer to market
value rather than book value. Demand these actors increasingly lowering the prestige
of the application of the principle conservatism. Conservatism considered no longer in
line with the purpose of accounting standards requiring modern accounting standards
that can predict conditions in future (future-oriented), something that can not be done
by principle accounting.
Although declining prestige of accounting conservatism but still many companies in Indonesia which still apply the principle of conservatism as according to
(21)
4 (Widya, 2005 in Wijayanti 2008), many of Indonesian firms are applying
conservative accounting in the preparation its financial statements. A total of 76.9
percent of the total companies in Indonesia choose the conservative accounting
method. Accounting conservatism applied in several level according Wardhani (2008)
states that the company's accounting conservatism applied in different levels. One of
the factors that determine the level of conservatism in financial reporting of a
company is the commitment of management and the company's internal parties in
providing information that is transparent, accurate and not misleading for investors. It
is a part of the implementation of good corporate governance. Implementation of
corporate governance carried out by all parties within the company, with the main
actor is the top management company is authorized to establish company policy and
implement the policy. One of the policy related to the principle of conservatism that is
used by companies in reporting its financial condition. Therefore, the characteristics
of the company's top management will affect the level of conservatism that will be
used by the company in preparing its financial statements.
Good Corporate Governance mechanism used to ensure that all activities of
the company including accounting method of the company has been run optimally in
order to achieve the ultimate goal required supervisory function well. Implementation
of Corporate Governance made by all parties within the company, with the main actor
is the top management will affect the level of conservatism that will be used by the
company in preparing its financial statements. The management characteristics
include independent commissioner and managerial ownership.
According to Padmawati and Fachrurrozie (2015) managerial ownership can
(22)
5 the company will cause the resulting financial interests of management will
implement more conservative of accounting. Independent commissioners is needed in
the company to protect minority shareholders and related parties. With the
independent commissioners, the supervision by the board of commissioners will be
more stringent so that it will tend to require conservative accounting to prevent
opportunistic attitude of the manager. (Padmawati and fachrurrozie, 2015)
The other factor influencing conservatism is growth opportunities. Companies
that have high growth rates have the motivation to minimize profit. As Widya (2004)
that the higher rate of growth of a company, the higher the likelihood that the
company is in choosing conservative accounting. Beside growth opportunities, sales
growth also influencing accounting conservatism. High sales growth expectations are
often increase the market against the future cash flows that will affect accounting
conservatism (Ahmed and Duellman 2002 in Padmawati and Fachrurrozie 2015).
Research of Satya (2013) also stated that the higher sales growth, the more inclined
the company choose a strategy of conservative accounting.
Researches on accounting conservatism have done by previous researchers.
Kootanaee, et al (2013) conducted a study on the influence of corporate governance
mechanism to accounting conservatism. The results showed that corporate governance
mechanism has no significant effect on accounting conservatism. This study is in line
with research Padmawati and Fachrurrozie (2015) which shows that good corporate
governance is proxied by managerial ownership and independent commissioner has
no effect on accounting conservatism but sales growth has significant effect to
accounting conservatism. This research is not in line with the study done Astarini
(23)
6 influence accounting conservatism. This result may be caused due to a difference in
research and place (state) research and research sample.
Research conducted by Astarini (2011) on accounting conservatism shows that
growth opportunities are not having a significant effect on accounting conservatism.
This study is not consistent with research Saputro and Setiawati (2004) found that
growth opportunities roomates have a significant effect on accounting conservatism.
This difference may be caused due to differences in study and research sample.
The variables used in this study had been investigated previous. But there are
differences of opinion between the previous researchers. Therefore, the author felt the
need to re-examine these variables to see the consistency of previous studies.
With the pros and cons regarding the application of accounting, the application
of conservatism in accounting increased the past few decades (Givoly and Hayn,
2000). Therefore, the research on this conservatism becomes interesting to discuss
because due to considerations relating to the company in applying conservative
accounting. Based on the background of problems above then I interesting in doing
research on accounting conservatism with the title “The Effect of Good Corporate Governance, Growth Opportunities and Sales Growth to Accounting
Conservatism”.

9 CHAPTER II
STUDY LITERATURE
A. Theory Development
1. Positive Accounting Theory
Positive accounting theory explains that managers have an incentive or
encouragement to maximize welfare. This theory is based on a section that
managers and shareholders are rational. They seek to maximize their utility, which
is directly linked to their prosperity (Nugroho and Mutmainah, 2012)
Positive accounting theory predicts that managers have a tendency to raise
profit to hide poor performance. The tendency of managers to increase their
profits can be boosted by four issues, namely the hiring of asymmetric
information, limited working period managers, limited liability managers, and
asymmetry payment. Shareholders and creditors trying to avoid overpayment to
the manager to ask for the implementation of conservative accounting (Watts,
2003). Therefore it can be concluded that managers tend to organize accounting
liberal, but the lender (in debt contracts) and shareholder (in compensation
contracts) tend to ask the manager held a conservative accounting (Nugroho and
Mutmainah, 2012)
2. Agency Theory
Agency theory assumes that all individuals acting in their own interests.
Agency theory was first introduced by Jensen and Meckling (1976) on Wulandari
et al (2014). Agency relationship arises because of the contract between
shareholders (principal) and management company (agent) who is the manager of
the company, the contract holder authorizes management to run the company's
operations are included in decision-making. Both groups (the agent and principal)
(27)
10 are people who seek to maximize utility, then there is little reason for the agent
will not always act in the best interest of the principal.
In the agency theory is an imbalance of information or assymetry
information. The assumption that individuals act to maximize itself, resulting in
agents utilize their information assymetry they have to hide some information that
is not known by the principal. assymetry information and potential conflicts of
interest between principal and agent encouraging the agent to present information
that is not true to the principal, especially when it comes to the performance of
agents by thinking about how the accounting figures are used as a means to
maximize its interests (Wulandari et al, 2014)
3. Signaling Theory
According Fala (2007) Signaling Theory explains that the signaling is
done by managers to reduce assymetry infomation. Managers provide information
through the financial statements that they apply the accounting conservatism
policy which generate profit more qualified for this principle prevents companies
taking action to exaggerate profits and helps users of financial statements to
present the earnings and assets not overtsate. In practice management applying
conservative accounting policies with high computing depreciation will result in
lower profits relatively permanent, which means do not have a temporary effect
on the decline in profits would rebound on the future.
Understatement profit and net assets are relatively permanent in the show
through the financial statements is a positive signal of management to investors
that management has implemented a conservative accounting to generate quality
earnings. Investors are expected to receive this signal and valuing the company at
(28)
11 4. Accounting Conservatism
Accounting conservatism is still considered by accountants as one of the
most important principles. Accounting conservatism concept was controversial at
the turn of last century up till now. Despite of the criticism against this principle,
it still plays an important role in accounting practices Watts (2003) on Reyad
(2012)
Francis, et al (2004) on (Kim and Yung, 2007).assumed that conservatism
is one of the desirable attributes of financial statements because it increases
transparency. On the other hand, Penman and Zhang (2002) suggest that
conservatism results in lower quality of earnings because conservative accounting
practices accelerate expensing of investment costs, thus reducing income and
generating hidden reserves, when the firm's investment expenditures grow
Basu (1997) on Kootanaee, et al (2013) defined conservatism as requiring
a higher degree of verifiable to identification good news such as profit vs bad
news, such as loss. as well as the conservatism, defined choice and use of
consistently accounting policies that are resulting in underestimate report net
assets of the company. Basu definition of conservatism is based on loss and profit
and Feltham and Ohlson is based on the balance sheet, so that have try in
assessment underestimate the assets or overestimate report liabilities. Givoly and
Hayn (2000) provided combination definition of conservatism that is based on
balance sheet and income Statement perspective which has been trying in decrease
retain earning. They defined conservatism, choose of accounting policies in
uncertainty terms, so that is resulting minimum amount for assets and incomes
(29)
12 Accounting conservatism has long been adopted into accounting
procedures in theory and practice. FASB’s Concepts Statement No. 2 defines
accounting conservatism as a prudent reaction to uncertainty to try to ensure that
uncertainty and risks inherent in business situations are adequately considered
(FASB, 1982). Conservatism can be defined as a downward bias in net book value
of assets than their economic value that due to inconsistent and incomplete
identification economic in accounting profit. Standard sitting and researchers, who
presented various definitions of conservatism, that is similar above definition. For
example, The AICPA has been defined the conservatism through accounting
practice in identification profit and loss; So that the losses recognized upon the
occurrence and profits when realized. Reserves are clearly evident in FASB’s
conceptual framework (FASB, 1980, Para. 95)
As long as for performance reporting, management used the criteria and
accounting standards, moral hazard’s problems always will exist in financial
reporting. The Managers to increase their personal interest in use of accounting
standards that is the basis information to investors, bias functioned and in the
transmission information create noise. If the limits which opportunistic behavior
of the manager confine is not exit, then; the accounting figures contained in
financial reports prepare and present bias. But conservatism by requiring its
verifiable confine opportunistic and bias behavior of the managers. In practice
conservatism is neutral bias behavior of the manager and delay benefit identifiable
as a result less shown net assets and profit Ataheryan (2012) on kootanae, et al
(2013).
Givoly and Hayn (2000) indicates that there is a global trend of increased
(30)
13 of conservatism with the issuance of new accounting standards that accelerate the
recognition of costs and delays revenue recognition. Until now there is still
disagreement about the benefits of conservatism in the financial statements. Some
researchers argue that the profits generated from the conservative method of lesser
quality, irrelevant and useless. Most other researchers argue otherwise.
Researchers who have a second view assumes that conservative earnings, which
were prepared using conservative accounting principles reflect minimal profit that
can be obtained so that the profits are compiled with conservative methods are not
an exaggerated profit value, so it can be considered as earnings quality.
5. Corporate Governance
Corporate governance is the system which companies using as guidance
and control, so it is associated mainly with the problems of management and
ownership. Sloan (2001) provides a perspective on financial accounting and
financial economics, corporate governance can be defined as follows: a
mechanism that eliminates the incentive problems arising from the separation of
management and financing companies. Thus, corporate governance is a
mechanism to solve agency problems (kootanaee, et al 2013)
Definition of corporate governance according (Griffin on Susiana and
Herawaty, 2007:7) is The roles of shareholders, directors and other managers in
corporate decision making. Good governance is an effort guided by professional
ethics in business or work. In principle, the purpose of corporate governance is to
create value for interested parties. The parties are internal parties that include
commissioners, directors, employees and external interested parties. Corporate
governance is defined as a set of rules that define the relationship between
(31)
14 internal and another external, concerning their rights and obligations, or the
system in which companies set (directed) and controlled (controlled), the purpose
of corporate governance is to create added value for stakeholders (Forum for
Corporate Governance, 2001: 2).
Decision of Minister of State-Owned Enterprises No. KEP-117 / M-MBU /
2002 defines Corporate Governance as a process and structure used by an organ of
state-owned enterprises to improve the success of business and corporate
accountability in order to create shareholder value over the long term by taking
into account the interests of other stakeholders, based on regulations legislation
and ethical values. According to Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD), Corporate Governance is One key element in improving
economic efficiency and growth as well as enhancing investor confidence that
involves a set of relationships between a company’s management, its board, its
shareholders and other stakeholders and also provides the structure through which
the objectives of the company, the means of attaining those objectives and
monitoring performance. In this study good corporate governance proxied by two
such as as independent commissioner and managerial ownership.
a. Independent commissioner
The definition of independent commissioner in accordance with the
provisions of Bapepam No. Kep 29 / PM / 2004 is Members of the
commissioner who came from outside the issuer or public company, has
no shares, either directly or indirectly to the issuer or public company, has
no affiliation with the issuer or public company, commissioners, directors
or shareholders the main issuers or public companies and do not have a
(32)
15 of the issuer or public company . Independent commissioner aims to
balance in decision-making, especially in the framework of the protection
of minority shareholders and other parties concerned (Susiana and
Herawati, 2007: 9).
According to Weisbach (1988) in Arifin (2005: 40), independence
commissioner in a company to be truly independent so that it can resist the
influence, intervention and pressure from major shareholders who have a
particular interest. As part of the supervisory organ, independent directors
are expected to have full attention and commitment in performing their
duties and obligations. To that end, independent commissioner is people
who have the knowledge, ability, time and integrity.
The existence of independent commissioner has set by Jakarta
Stock Exchange through the JSE regulations July 1, 2000. It suggests that
companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange must have an
independence commissioners which is proportionately equal to the number
of shares owned by the minority shareholders (not controlling
shareholders). In this regulation, the requirements of the minimum number
of independent directors is 30% of the members of the board of
commissioner. Some of the criteria of the independent commissioner is as
follows:
1) independent commissioner has no affiliation with the majority
shareholder or controlling shareholder (controlling shareholders) listed
companies concerned;
2) independent commissioner has no relationship with the director and/or
(33)
16 3) independent commissioner does not have a dual position at another
company affiliated with the listed company concerned;
4) independent commissioner must understand the legislation in the field
of capital markets;
5) independent commissioner depreciated and elected by minority
shareholders who are not controlling shareholders (not controlling
shareholders) in the General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM).
b. Managerial Ownership
Midiastuty and Machfoedz (2003: 177) defines managerial
ownership as a percentage of shares owned by management and actively
participate in corporate decision which includes commissioners and
directors. Ownership of shares by companies is a mechanism that can be
used so that managers perform activities in accordance with the interests of
the owner of the company. The percentage of ownership is percentage of
shares owned by management including the percentage of shares owned by
private management.
Jensen and Meckling (1976) on Wulandari et al (2014) states that
the managerial share ownership can help unite the interests between
managers and shareholders, which means increasing the proportion of
managerial ownership, the better the performance of the company. The
existence of managerial ownership in the company can be one of the
efforts to reduce the agency problems between managers and align the
interests of managers and shareholders. The greater the proportion of
managerial ownership in the company, management tends vigorously to
(34)

6. Growth Opportunities
Growth opportunities are opportunities for growth in a company in the
future (Mai 2006). The company's growth is expected by internal and external
parties, due to good growth signaled for the development of the company. From
the perspective of investors, the growth of a company is a sign the company has a
favorable aspect, and the investor would expect a rate of return (rate of return) on
investments carried out showed good development. (Novikasari and Sofyan,
2013)
Companies that have high growth rates have minimize motivation for
profit. As Widya (2004) that the higher the rate of growth of a company, the
higher the likelihood that the company is in choosing conservative accounting
7. Sales Growth
Sales are the main operating activities of a company. Sales growth can be
interpreted as a change in sales per year. Growth in sales of a product depends on
the product life cycle. According Kotlerdan Armstrong (1997) in Abdul Aziz
(2005) there are four stages of the product life cycle that affect the sales growth
that the company's sales growth will affect the rate of accrual at companies such
as inventory, accounts receivable, and a high sales growth often increases the
market expectation of cash flows the future so that it will affect the market
conservatism (Ahmed and Duellman, 2007) in the Padmawati and Fachrurrozie (2015).
B. Variable Interrelationship
1. Independent Commissioner and Accounting Conservatism
In carrying out its functions, independent directors will require accurate
(35)
18 (particularly the independent commissioner) in carrying out their functions as
decision makers and those who monitor management. A strong board of directors
(board of directors dominated by independent directors) will require more quality
information so that they will tend to be using more conservative accounting
principles. On the other hand, the board of directors dominated by internal parties
or board of directors who has a weak monitoring incentives will provide greater
opportunities for managers to use more aggressive accounting principles (less
conservative) (Ahmed and Duellman, 2007). Based on these descriptions
formulated the following hypotheses :
H1: How Independent Commissioner has positive effect on Accounting Conservatism
2. Managerial Ownership and Accounting Conservatism
Research conducted by Ahmed and Duellman (2007) shows that there is a
relationship between managerial ownership with conservative accounting policy
of the company. Conflicts within the company can not be resolved when the
contract runs because it will cause huge costs. It is forcing shareholders to
complete the contract term of the contract is completed. The greater portion of
managerial ownership, the greater the pressure from outsider to applying
conservative accounting. Conservatism is considered capable of reducing the
ability of managers to present net income and overstate assets by more recognized
gain. Conservatism is also considered capable of reducing the behavior of
managers who hide information about losses. Based on these descriptions
(36)
19 H2: How Managerial Ownership has positive effect on Accounting Conservatism
3. Growth Opportunities and Accounting Conservatism
At companies that use the principle of conservatism are reserves
Hidden is used for investment, so a conservative company synonymous with
growth companies (Barry and Wilopo, 2002). This growth will be responded
positively by investors that the market value of the company's conservative
greater than its book value that will create goodwill. The market will be
positive rate on the investment made by the company because of the
investments made now expected that the company will gain future cash flows.
Markets positive rate on the investment made by the company, because of the
investment is expected the company will gain a cash flow.
Research Feltham and Ohlson (1995) and Penman (2001) suggest that
conservative accounting is a concept that is appropriate for that concept shows
the growth of a company's net assets reported as lower than market value.
Based on these descriptions formulated the following hypotheses :
H3: How Growth Opportunities has positive effect on Accounting Conservatism
4. Sales Growth and Accounting Conservatism
The sales growth will affect the size of conservatism through the accrual
and market value (Ahmed and Duellmann 2007) .High sales growth will increase
expectations of future cash flows that can affect the conservatism market. The
company's growth in the future is a sign that the company has reached the high
level of profit. So that higher sales growth indicates that the company is more
(37)
20 Padmawati and Fachrurrozie (2015) states that the variable sales growth
shows the influence with accounting conservatism and has a positive sign on the
coefficient. Based on the theory of signal, with the investment, the market will be
positive rate on investment by the company because of the investments made
today is expected the company will gain future cash flows. Results of research
supporting research (Feltham and Ohlson 1995 and Penman 2001 in Widya, 2005)
which states that the concept of conservative accounting shows the growth of a
company's net assets are reported as lower than the market value. Companies that
use mostly conservative principles describe a company is grows because there are
hidden investment reserves used for investments. Based on these descriptions
formulated the following hypotheses :
H4: How Sales Growth has positive effect on Accounting Conservatism
5. Independent Commissioner, Managerial Ownership, Growth Opportunities
and Sales Growth and Accounting Conservatism.
Independent commissioner, managerial ownership, growth opportunities
and related sales growth as an indicator to determine the effect on the level of
accounting conservatism on the value of the company's financial statements.
Independent commissioner, managerial ownership, growth opportunities and high
sales growth will likely reporting companies use the concept of a conservative.
Based on these descriptions formulated the following hypotheses :
H5: How Independent Commissioner, Managerial Ownership, Growth Opportunities and Sales Growth have simultanously effect on Accounting Conservatism

Stock Exchange (IDX). The object of this study is a LQ45 companies listed on
Indonesian Stock Exchange. The research period in 2011 - 2014
B. Sampling Method
Samples in this study are LQ45 companies listed on the Stock Exchange in
the period 2011 - 2014. Companies sampled in this study were selected using
purposive sampling method, namely the collection of data by using terms and on
certain criteria. So the sample is selected based on considerations directly
researcher with the terms sample represents the population and in accordance with
the desired characteristics in the study, as follows:
1. The Company is engaged in LQ45, which is listed on the Indonesia Stock
Exchange (IDX) in 2011 - 2014.
2. Companies were listed on LQ45 Companies at least 3 years in research period
3. The Company publishes its financial statements for the period 2011 - 2014.
4. The financial statements used are financial statements audited by independent
auditors.
5. The financial statements used are expressed in Rupiahs.
6. There completeness of the data needed in a row from 2011 - 2014.
(44)
27
C. Data Collection Method
In obtaining the data in this study, researchers used data that has been
available. The data will be used in this research is secondary data taken from the
annual financial statements. The data used in this study comes from an external
source, companies’s Financial Report listed on the Stock Exchange in the period 2011 - 2014 were obtained from the company's annual financial report obtained
from the website Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) is www.idx.co.id , Indonesian
Capital Market Directory (ICMD).
D. Analysis Method
The analytical tool used in this research is multiple linear regression using
SPSS, where the regression equation contains elements of interaction
(Multiplication of two or more independent variables). This interaction test used
to determine the extent of interaction variables can independent commissioner,
managerial ownership, growth opportunities and sales growth influencing
Accounting Conservatism.
1. Desriptive Analysis
Descriptive Analysis were used to describe the variables in this study, the
level of Accounting conservatism, good corporate governance, growth
opportunities and sales growth on companies listed on the Stock Exchange.
Descriptive statistics will provide an overview of each of the variables. The
analytical tool used is the average value (mean), distribution frequency, minimum
(45)

2. Classic Assumption Test
Classic assumption test aims to obtain regression results can be
accounted for and have results that are not biased or Best Linear Unbiased
Estimator (BLUE). Assumptions that must be met, of the test are normality
test, autocorrelation test, multicollinearity test and heterocedasticity test.
a. Normality Test
Normality test aims to test whether the regression model, the
disturber variables or residuals have a normal distribution. There are two
ways to detect whether or not residual normal distribution, namely by
looking at the analysis graph normal probability plot and statistical tests.
The regression model that has a data distribution is normal or near-normal
regression model is said to be good (Ghozali, 2011). In principle normality
can be detected by looking at the spread of the data (points) on the
diagonal axis of the graph or to view the histogram of the residual. The
basis for a decision as follows:
a. If the data is spread around the diagonal line and follow the direction of
the diagonal line or histogram graph showing a normal distribution pattern,
then the regression model to meet the assumption of normality.
b. If the data are spread far from the diagonal and does not follow the
direction of the diagonal line or histogram chart, present a normal
distribution, then the regression model did not meet the assumption of
normality.
b. Multicollinearity Test
Multicoloniarity test aims to test whether the regression model
(46)
29 in logistic regression analysis when the independent variables are
correlated between. Mutikolonieritas can be seen from:
• The value of tolerance and the opponent • Variance Inflation Factor (VIF)
The results of these tests can be seen from VIF VIF using the
equation = 1/tolerance. If VIF <10 then there is no multicollinearity.
(Ghozali, 2011)
c. Heterocedasticity Test
Heterocedasticity test aims to test whether the regression model
occurred inequalities residual variance from one observation to another
observation. If the variance of the residuals of the observations to other
observations remain, then called Homoskedastisitas, and if different called
Heteroskidastity. This test can be done by looking at the graph plot
between the predicted value of the variable (ZPRED) with residual value
SREID. A good regression model if the residual variance from one
observation to another permanent, so that there is no identifiable
heteroskedastisitas (Ghozali, 2011).
d. Autocorrelation Test
Autocorrelation test whether a correlation exists between the
regression model error bullies in the current period (t) with an error in the
previous period (t-1). A good regression model is a regression that is free
from autocorrelation. If there is a correlation, then there is a problem
(47)
30 observation at all times in relation to each other. This test uses a model
Durbin Watson (DW-Test). The hypothesis to be tested are:
Ho = no autocorrelation (r = 0),
Ha = no autocorrelation (r ≠ 0)
If the value of DW is greater than the upper limit or the upper
bound (du) and less than (4- du) means no autocorrelation (Ghozali, 2011).
3. Hypothesis Testing
a. Coefficient of Determination
Cox and Snell R Square and Nagelkerke R Square is a measure that
seeks to imitate the size of R2 in multiple regression based on Likelihood
estimation techniques. Nagelkerke R Square easier to interpret than Cox
and Snell R Square so as to know how much variability in the dependent
variable that can be explained by the independent variables can be seen
from the Nagelkerke R Square. Nagelkerke's R Square is a modification of
the coefficient Cox and Snell to ensure that its value varies from 0 (zero)
to 1 (one). This is done by dividing the value of Cox and Snell 's R2 with
maximum value. Nagelkerke's R Square value can be interpreted as the
value of R2 in the multiple regression. A small value means the ability of
the independent variables in explaining the variation of the dependent
variable is very limited. Approximate value of the independent variables
provide almost all the information needed to predict the variation of the
dependent variable.
b. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis
The analysis used in this research is multiple linear regression,
(48)
31 Independent Commissioner and Managerial ownership, Growth
Opportunities, and Sales Growth to Accounting Conservatism on the LQ
45 companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) , The
regression model in this study are as follows:
CONS it= β0 + β1 Indepentit+ β2 Managit+ β3 GO + β4 SGit + e Where :
CONS : The Level of the Accounting Conservatism are
measured using the Feltham and Ohlson Model (Kootanaee, et al 2013)
Indepent : The existence of independent commissioner is measured by calculated number of independent commissioner divided by total number
of commissioner in the company (Padmawati and Fachrurrozie, 2015)
Manag : Managerial Ownership, measured by the percentage of shares owned by Management and actively participate in corporate decision
which includes commissioners, directorsand its afiliation (Padmawati and
Fachrurrpzie, 2015)
GO : To measure growth opportunities of the company by calculated market to book value of equity according to (Novikasari and
Sofyan, 2013)
SG : to measure for sales growth ratio by calculated change of sales divided by net sales (Padmawati and Fachrurrozie, 2015)
(49)
32 c. Simultaneous Significant Test (F-Test)
The statistical test F basically indicates whether all the independent
variables included in the model have influence together on the dependent
variable. The null hypothesis (Ho) to be tested is whether all of the
parameters in the model is equal to zero, or
H0: b1 = b2 = b ... = bk = 0
This means that if all the independent variables is not a significant
explanatory on the dependent variable. The alternative hypothesis (Ha),
not all parameters simultaneously equal to zero, or:
Ha: b1 ≠ b2 ≠ ... ≠ bk ≠ 0
That is, all independent variables simultaneously is a significant
explanatory on the dependent variable. Testing criteria used are:
-If F count> F table then Ho is rejected
-If F count <f table then Ho is accepted
d. Significant Partial Test (T-Test)
T tests were used to determine the effect of independent variables (X1, X2,
X3, X4) alone or each dependent variable Y (Ghozali, 2007: 84-85). The
null hypothesis (Ho) to be tested is whether a parameter (bi) is equal to
zero or:
Ho: bi = 0
This means that if an independent variable is not a significant explanatory
on the dependent variable. The alternative hypothesis (Ha), a variable
parameter is not equal to zero, or:
(50)
33 This means that these variables are significant explanatory on the
dependent variable. Testing criteria: -If t <t table then Ho is rejected -If t>
t table then Ho is accepted to measure the value t table, determined
significance level of 5 percent with degrees of freedom df = 4 n is the
number of observations.
E. Operational Research Variable
The data in this study can be grouped into two variables:
1. Dependent Variable
The dependent variable is the variable that is a major concern of
researchers. In this study, researchers took the Accounting Conservatism
(Y) as the dependent variable component. In this study conservatism
applied to the model of Feltham and Ohlson model (1995).
The idea underlying the use of MTB (or BTM) as a measure of
accounting conservatism is that, ceteris paribus, a conservative accounting
system tends to depress the net book values of a firm relative to the firm
economic value. Therefore, a higher MTB (and a lower BTM) implies a
higher degree of accounting conservatism, and vice versa. The MTB
measure is strongly rooted in the analytical work based on the Residual
Income Valuation Model (RIVM). Feltham and Ohlson first introduced
accounting conservatism in the RIVM context, and characterize
conservatism as a tendency to bias downwards the book value of a firm
relative to its market value. This manifestation of conservatism has been
carried into later analytical works on conservatism such as Beaver and
Ryan (Wang, 2009). Thus, this study was calculated to summarize the

MV = Outstanding shares x Stock Price
BV it: The Book value of equity of firm i in the end of year t.
- Where BV were formulated from :
BV = Outstanding shares x nominal value of shares
2.
Independent VariablesIndependent variables are variables that affect the dependent variable,
either positively or negatively. If there is a dependent variable, the
independent variables must also be present, and in each unit increase in the
independent variable nature there will be also an increase or decrease in the
dependent variable.
a. Independent Commissioner
Independent commissioner is a commissioner who is not
affiliated with management, other board members and controlling
shareholders, as well as free of a business relationship and other
relationships which may affect its ability to act independently or act
solely semi interests of the company (NCG, 2004 in Guna and
Herawaty, 2010: 6). In this research The existence of independent

Multicolinearity test aims to test whether the regression model found a
correlation between independent variables. A good regression model should
not happen correlation between independent variables. Multikoloniaritas
occurs when (1) the value of tolerance (Tolerance <0.10) and (2) variance
inflation factor (VIF> 10). Based on Table 4.5 indicates VIF of Indepent,
manag, GO and SG is smaller than 10. Meanwhile, tolerancenya value greater
than 0.10. This suggests that the independent variables in this study are not
correlated so that the model does not contain multicollinearity (Sufren and
Natanael, 2014).
c. The Result of Heteroscedasticity Test
Results heteroscedasticity in this study by looking at the scatterplot
graph among other residue SDRESID dependent variables with independent
predictive value variable ZPRED. Detection of the presence or absence
heterokedastisitas can be seen where Y is the residual value and the value of X
(59)
42 Based Scatterplot image above can be concluded that there is
no clear pattern, as well as the points spread. Thus, the analysis model
can be concluded not happen heterocedastisity (Sufren and Natanael,
2014).
d. The Result of Autocorrelation Test
Autocorrelation test is used to determine and detect the presence of
autocorrelation. Autocorrelation in this research is using Durbin Watson. A
good model is a regression model that is free from autocorrelation.
Autocorrelation test results shown in Table 4.6
