Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ukuran kantor akuntan publik, yang diukur melalui jumlah rekan, jumlah auditor, jumlah klien dan jumlah pendapatan kantor akuntan publik terhadap kualitas audit yang diukur dengan akrual diskresioner dan opini audit going concern. Sampel penelitian adalah perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia tahun 2006?2008 dengan observasi sebanyak 348 perusahaan. Metode regresi berganda dan regresi logistik digunakan untuk menguji hipotesis. Hasil penelitian secara keseluruhan, untuk semua sampel maupun untuk sub sampel perusahaan yang diaudit KAP Big 4 dan sub sampel perusahaan yang diaudit KAP non Big 4, menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara ukuran kantor akuntan publik dengan kualitas audit. Ukuran KAP yang besar tidak selalu menghasilkan kualitas audit yang tinggi. Kualitas audit KAP besar dan kecil dapat dianggap cukup seragam.

Samples are manufacturing firms listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange for the year 2006?2008 with total observations of 348 firm-years. Multiple regression and logistic regression is used for hypotheses testing. The results show that for the entire samples as well as for two sub samples, the sub-samples of firms audited by Big 4 and sub-samples of firms audited by Non-Big 4, there are no significant effect of public accounting firm size on audit quality.

This research aims at examining dividend-signaling hypothesis by testing the relationship between dividend changes and operational performance as well as market performance. The sample consists of75 firms for the period 2000-2005. The analysis employed are multiple regressions and event study. The results on operational performance show that (1) dividend increase (with earnings increase or earnings decrease) correlates significantly with the increase of next period company s profitability, (2) dividend decrease and earnings decrease negatively correlate with next period company, profitability, (3) dividend decrease and earnings increase positively correlate with next period company s profitability, and (4) unchanged dividend does not correlate with next period company`s profitability. The evidence on market performance (cumulative abnormal return surrounding dividend announcement date) shows that dividend changes have significant effect on cumulative abnormal return for five and ten days around announcement date. Evidences from this research show that dividend signaling hypothesis is not fully supported.

This research aims to examine the relationship between the level of tax avoidance and the quality of earnings proxied by the accrual-based earnings management and earnings persistence. In addition, this research also aims to examine if the relationship between the level of tax avoidance and accrual-based earnings management and earnings persistence depends on the tax environment of a country. This research uses a cross-country analysis with the scope of ASEAN countries, consisting of Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The result of this research indicates that the tax environment of a country affects the relationship between the level of tax avoidance and the accrual-based earnings management, but does not affect the relationship between the level of tax avoidance and earnings persistence.
