| Abstract: | Research on the determinants of audit fees has mostly focused on the U.S. and other countries. The Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (JICPA) eliminated standard auditing fees in April 2004, leading to intense competition among audit firms. However, previous studies conducted in the U.S. and some European countries suggest that oligopolistic conditions exist. These studies also show that audit firms add additional inspection costs to the audit fees, when estimating further audit risks. This study aims to empirically confirm whether Japanese audit firm charge similar fees or if the auditors f effort is reflected in audit fees. This study focuses on audit quality because firms cannot cover the cost of conducting an audit in competitive scenario with low fees, leading to a decline in audit quality. To examine the scenario after the enactment of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, commonly referred as the Japanese Sarbanes-Oxley (hereafter, J-SOX), this study uses variables that estimate internal control risks and corporate governance risks. In conclusion, this study confirms that Japanese audit firms conduct risk adjustment activities. |

| Abstract: | This study investigates the causal relationship between auditor turnover and audit fees. The aim of this study is to accurately identify the real relationship between auditor turnover and audit fees. The analysis in this study is based on the counterfactual model provided by Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983). The propensity score is estimated using logistic regression, which generates a matched treatment sample and a control (counterfactual) sample. The matched dataset containing 486 firm-years is analyzed using liner regression to identify the causal relationship between auditor change and audit fees. The clearly significant result shows that low-balling exists in real audit contracts. As an additional study, the sample is divided using the auditor size variable (Dummy of Big 3 or not) into four parts. The additional results show that, after an auditor change from a Non-Big 3 auditor to Big 3 auditor, the contract exhibits low-balling. This suggests that clients who change auditors from a non-Big 3 firm to Big 3auditor do not receive an adequate audit because of the auditors' cost cutting. The coefficient of the auditor change from non-Big3 to Big 3 auditor is significant and relatively higher than the coefficients of the other parts. Audit fees need to cover the costs of the audit practice to maintain audit quality. The results of this study can serve as an alert for Japanese auditing practice quality issues. |

| Abstract: | A public accountant as a profession that provides assurance services about historical financial report information to the public is required to have adequate accounting knowledge and accounting skills as well as personal qualities. Such personal qualities will be reflected in his professional behavior. Professional behavior of public accountant one of them embodied in the form of avoid dysfunctional behavior of accountant. dysfunctional behavior is related to time budget pressure and turnoer intention. A high level of time budget pressure will encourage auditors to perform dysfunctional behaviors. The desire to quit working is also judged to affect the irregularities of auditor behavior. There is a significant positive correlation between intention turnover and dysfunctional audit behavior due to decreased fears of possible sanctions if such behavior is detected. |

| Abstract: | The article examines the impact of the reclassification of IAS 39 on income smoothing using loan loss provisions among European banks. The author predicts that the strict recognition and re-classification requirements of IAS 139 reduced banks' ability to smooth income using bank securities and derivatives, motivating them to rely more on loan loss provisions to smooth income. The findings do not support the prediction for income smoothing through loan loss provisions. Also, there is no evidence for income smoothing in the pre- and post-IAS 39 reclassification period. The implication of the findings is that: (i) European banks did not use loan loss provisions to smooth income during the period examined, and rather rely on other accounting numbers to smooth income; (ii) the IASB’s strict disclosure regulation improved the reliability and informativeness of loan loss provision estimates among European banks during the period of analysis. |

| Abstract: | Earnings management (EM) is manipulation done by management in preparing financial statement in order to gain management advantages or to increase the firm value. EM can reduce the quality of financial statements because it does not show the real earning periodical. This research aims to identify the effect of good corporate governance (GCG) (institutional ownership, managerial ownership, frequency of board meetings, frequency of audit committee (AC) meetings), firm size, and leverage on the EM. Population comprises the companies in LQ 45 index of Iindonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2010–2014. Samples of the research were taken using purposive sampling method, and the variables are tested using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the research show that partially, only leverage has significant effect on EM, while institutional ownership, managerial ownership, frequency of board meeting, frequency of AC meetings, and firm size have no significant effect on EM, but all of the variables have simultaneously significant effect on EM. Limitations of the research are the only used 6 independent variables and 21 companies as samples of the research |

| Abstract: | In this paper, we investigate the role played by the TCR and LCR among determinants of banks' profitability. To this end, using Random Forest regressions and a large dataset of banks' balance sheet variables, we assess the impact and predicting power of Basel III capital and liquidity ratios. Our results confirm the trade-off theory of the capital structure: banks have an optimal capital ratio below which the relation between capital and profitability is positive. On average, this optimum falls between 15% and 20%. Furthermore, we show that LCR has a positive, but weak, effect on profitability. Overall, our findings illustrate the fact that regulatory ratios do not constitute binding conditions for banks' performance. |

| Abstract: | Research on business, management and accounting (BMA) in the past century has been overwhelming. Regardless of its significance, regions such as Ibero-America have been overlooked from exhaustive studies on bibliometrics in the subject of BMA. Here, a bibliometric outlook of the subject of BMA in Ibero-America was conducted by analyzing the ten most cited documents in BMA in each country from 1996 to 2017 using the citation database Scopus. The main findings showed: a rapid increase in documents’ production; both Spain and Portugal domain the overall documents’ production and citations; most of the documents are pay-walled; the most-desired journal in the region is also the most- suspicious; a Pareto distribution in both citations by documents and authors by documents; and institutional status has a significant effect on AACSB accreditation. |

The data was obtained through secondary data from Indonesian capital market directory and simple regression analysis for the data analysis.The result indicates that auditor quality has significant effect on firm value. The quality of an auditor has significant effect on earnings persistence.
