This research aims to investigate the influence of family ownership, institutional ownership, audit quality, and the quality of market corporate governance toward the relationship between aggressive financial and tax reporting, and their economic consequences. Using cross-country data of public listed companies from 11 countries in Asia, this study finds that aggressive financial reporting is associated positively with aggressive tax reporting and is reciprocal, indicating that managers may no longer face a trade-off between the two. It is evident that managers have conducted aggressive financial and tax reporting simultaneously for the reposting period. This simultaneous aggressive reporting is influenced by the control of families, institutional investors, audit quality, and the quality of corporate governance country level. Family ownership, audit quality, and the quality of market corporate governance have proven to weaken positive reciprocal relation between aggressive financial and tax reporting. Institutional ownership only weakens positive aggressive financial reporting relations on aggressive taxation reporting, but do not significantly weaken positive aggressive tax reporting relation on aggressive financial reporting. The economic consequence test showed that aggressive financial reporting positively influences the cost of equity capital and the cost of debt, whereas aggressive tax reporting only positively influences the cost of equity capital, and insignificantly influences cost of debt. By considering the characteristics of the company, it is proved that family ownership, institutional ownership, audit quality weaken positive influence of aggressive financial reporting on the both of cost of equity capital and cost of debt. In regard to aggressive tax reporting, only the institutional ownership is proved to weaken positive influence of aggressive tax reporting on the both of cost of equity capital and cost of debt, while other factors are not significant. This study has not been able to prove the effect of the quality of market corporate governance upon the economic consequences of aggressive reporting.
