I. INTRODUCTION
In agency theory (agency theory), the agency relationship arises when one or more persons (principals) hire another person (agent) to provide a service and then delegate authority to the agent the decision-making (Jensen and Meckling, 1976). Manager as the manager of the company know more internal information and the company’s prospects in the future than the owners (shareholders). Therefore, as manager, the manager is obliged to give a signal about the condition of the company to the owners. However, sometimes the information is not received in accordance with the actual condition of the company. This condition is known as asymmetric information or asymmetric information (asymmetric information) (Haris, 2004). Asymmetry between management (agent) with the owners (principals) can provide the opportunity for managers to manage earnings (earnings management) (Richardson, 1998).
Measures of earnings management has led to several cases of accounting reporting scandals, is widely known, among others, Enron, Merck, World Com and the majority of other companies in the United States (Cornett, Marcuss, Saunders and Tehranian, 2006). Some cases that occurred in Indonesia, including PT. Lippo Tbk and PT. Kimia Farma Tbk also involve financial reporting (financial reporting) which originated from undetected manipulation (Gideon, 2005).
