that implement these standard, and how company disclose information related to the implementation and efect of
PSAK 24 in the interim financial report of 2015. This research included companies listed in Indonesia stock
exchange by using logistic regression analysis. The result of this research indicate that implementation of PSAK
24 in interim financial report influenced by market capitalization, number of employee, and auditor. This research
also provides results in which disclosure of the implementation and effect of most companies have been appliying

1. INTRODUCTION
Employee benefits are all forms of benefits granted an entity in exchange for services
rendered by employees or for the termination of the employment contract. Employee benefits
include benefits granted to workers or their dependents or beneficiaries and may be settled by
payments (or the provision of goods or services), either directly to workers, husbands / wives,
children or other dependents or to others, such as insurance companies.
There are three major changes in the PSAK 24 (2013) which are how to calculate
pension cost, the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, and disclosures. The change will
significantly affect the value of post-employment benefit obligations which will be presented
in the financial statements. The recognition of actuarial gains and losses as a component of
comprehensive income will significantly affect the company's total equity. Disclosures made
more comprehensive by explaining the characteristics, the amount arising from the program in
the financial statements and the sensitivity analysis on defined benefit plans. Revised PSAK 24
will have an impact on the presentation of reclassification and so companies should apply
retrospectively using the new method.
The application of a new accounting standard due to changes in accounting standards
requires the entity restated financial statements have been published and audited, it is in
accordance with the rules in PSAK 25 regarding accounting policies, changes in accounting
policies, estimates and correction of errors. PSAK 24 (2013) effective on January 1, 2015.
Consequently, the financial statements issued after January 1, 2015 must use the provisions of
the new standard.
According to PSAK No. 3 (2010) Interim Financial Reporting states that interim
financial report is a financial report that contains either a complete financial statement (as
described in PSAK 1 (2009) Presentation of Financial Statements) or a financial report
summary (as described in this Statement) to an interim period. Interim period is a financial
reporting period shorter than a full financial year.
But in reality, not all companies implement new standards when preparing the interim
financial statements. Though described in PSAK 3 that the interim financial statements are
prepared using the accounting policies together with the annual financial statements. Large
companies are the focus of attention of investors that tend to be applying accounting policies
early (Castello et al. 1994). Companies that have larger debts will perform faster adoption of
standards (Sami and Welsh, 1992) but according Castello et al. (1994) actually found the
opposite. According to Amir and Livnat (1996 and Langer and Lev (1993) companies are
adopting standards at baseline had earnings changes are relatively smaller, but the results are
opposite to the Castello et al. (1994) that changes high profit company audited by the firm of
repute high inclined to make early adoption of the standard (Trombley, 1989). In a study of
adoption PSAK 24 Employee benefits by Harahap (2010) found that the total assets, changes
in ROE and auditors have a positive influence on the early adoption of accounting standards.
Hypothesis Development
Market capitalization is an indicator of the development of a stock market. The market
capitalization of the company's capital illustrates assessed on the number of outstanding shares
and stock prices. The market capitalization has an important role, which gives an overview of
the market capitalization of companies active in the stock market of a country, so that the
information disclosed in the company is very important especially for investors in the stock
market. Companies with large capitalization value tends to be more attention from investors
and prospective investors, because investors generally invest viewed capitalization and stock
price on the exchange. Presentation of information and the application of an accounting
standard that is the latest in the interim financial report is very important in the decision making
for investors and prospective investors, the company should pay more attention to information
presented in the interim financial statements. It was developed in the following hypothesis:
H1: Companies with larger market capitalization have the possibility in implementing
PSAK 24 (2013) earlier
Companies with a large number of employees, tend to spend more compared to
companies with fewer employees, but the company with a large number of employees who
usually is a great company, international and influential in driving the economic growth of a
country. Companies with a large number of employees who will have the burden and
obligations and employee benefits were great, so that the disclosure of information related to
employee benefits becomes very important. Companies with larger number of employees is
expected to be faster in applying PSAK 24 (2013) because the standard is closely related to the
company's obligation to its employees and also government regulations relating to the welfare
of employees. It was developed in the following hypothesis:
H2: Companies with a larger number of employees have possibility in implementing PSAK
24 (2013) earlier.
This research was conducted to test whether the debt to equity ratio may affect the
company's decision to implement IAS 24 Revised, 2013 interim financial report. To run its
business activities the company needs funds, in order to run properly. Funds are required to
cover all or part of the cost is required and needs expansion or new investment. According to
Kashmir (2010) Debt to Equity is the ratio used to assess the debt and equity, by comparing all
the debt for equity. The application of IAS 24 Revised 2013 influence to changes in the value
of liabilities and equity. Companies with a larger debt to equity is expected to be faster in
applying IAS 24 Revised, 2013, due to the amount of debt the company is bigger, so the
disclosure of information is expected to be delivered sooner. It was developed in the following
hypothesis:
H3: Companies with a larger Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) have possibility in implementing
PSAK 24 (2013) earlier.
3. RESEARCH METHODS
Adoption : Dummy variable, the value 1 to companies that adopt PSAK 24 (2013)
Timing of the interim financial statements and the value 0 for companies that
do not adopt in the interim financial report 2015
CAP : The market capitalization value in 2015
EMPLOYEE : The number of employees of the company in 2014
DER : Debt to Equity Ratio 2014
ROECHANGE : Return On Equity change from 2013 to 2014
AUDITOR : Dummy, value 1 to companies audited by audit firms "Big 4" and the
value 0 for companies that are not audited by audit firms "Big 4"
The dependent variable is the variable that is observed and measured to determine the
effects caused by the independent variable. The dependent variable in this study is an interim
financial report 1st quarter (Q1), second quarter (Q2) and third quarter (Q3) 2015 as liabilities
of the company to comply with applicable regulations in the PSAK. This variable is a dummy
variable that will be worth 1 if a company has done the application of PSAK 24 (2013) and a
dummy variable will be 0 if a company has not made the application of PSAK 24 (2013).
Variable market capitalization (CAP) is the real value of the market capitalization of
the company until December 31, 2015. The market capitalization of demonstrating the value of
securities listed on the stock exchange, is defined as the total number of securities issued by
companies in the capital market.
Variable employee (EMPLOYEE) is the number of employees reported in the
company's annual financial statements 2015. Employees are the primary asset in a company,
because no employees, activities of the company will not be able to walk. Employees is the
seller of services (mind and energy) and gain compensation (wages), the amount has been set
in advance (Hasibuan, 2002).
Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) is an indicator of the proportion of the company's debt to
the investments made by the shareholders. DER high value shows the total debt (short-term and
long-term) greater than the capital or equity, so this will have an impact on the greater burden
on the creditor company. The increased burden on the creditor shall indicate the source of the
company's capital is highly dependent on external parties, and vice versa if the value of small
DER. In this study, the value of DER use from DER value of 2014, the use of DER from 2014
due to new PSAK 24 (2013) effectively implemented since January 1, 2015, where the decision
on its implementation is influenced by the DER value of the previous year.
Changes return on equity (ROE) shows the company's ability to generate net income
by using their own capital and net income available to owners or investors. The value of the roe
was absolute change in value will still be positive even though the results were negative. In this
research using the values of changes in ROE from 2013 to 2014, the use of changes in ROE
from 2013 to 2014 because of the new PSAK 24 (2013) effectively implemented since January
1, 2015, where the decision on its implementation is influenced by the value of the change in
ROE from the previous year.
Public Accounting Firm (KAP), is a business entity incorporated under the provisions
of law and obtain a business license under UU No. 5 Tahun 2011 on Public Accountant. Firm
size is a measure used to determine the size of a public accounting firm. In much of the
literature, the size of a large public accounting firms say if affiliated with the Big 4. Big 4
international accounting firm is the fourth highest income Deloitte, PriceWaterhouseCoopers,
Ernst & Young, and KPMG International. KAP are believed to conduct an audit of a higher
quality than the small KAP (DeAngelo, 1981; Brooks, 2012; Bae and Lee, 2013).
On research the application of PSAK 24 (2013) in an interim financial report in 2015,
the population selected from companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) until
December 31, 2015 as many as 518 companies. Samples taken only company that has a
relatively sufficient financial information for the study. The sample used using purposive
sampling judgment so that the sample was selected based on certain criteria and not selected
randomly. Based on this sampling technique, the final number of 518 population sample for the
research model is 487, as shown in Table 1.

The results test of statistic descriptive can be seen in Table 2, from a sample of 487
companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange, showed only 72 companies, or about 14.8%
of the total sample were already applying PSAK 24 (2013). The companies are already
implementing PSAK 24 (2013) since January 1, 2015. the application was accompanied by a
calculation of the impact of adoption of PSAK 24 (2013) in the statement of changes in equity
other comprehensive income is part of the income statement, and notes to the financial
statements. These companies are among others Astra Agro Lestari Tbk, Adhi Karya (Persero)
Tbk, Bank Central Asia Tbk, Bumi Serpong Damai Tbk and PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia
(Persero) Tbk.
In Q2, the company has applied PSAK 24 (2013) in Q1 also be taken into account that
as many as 72 companies (14.8%), because if it had adopted PSAK 24 (2013) in Q1, then
directly already implementing in Q2. The Company has applied PSAK 24 in Q2 cumulative
115 companies or 23.6% of the total sample. Companies that totally new implement in Q2 as
many as 41 companies. Such companies include Astra International Tbk, Bank Danamon
Indonesia Tbk, Ciputra Development Tbk, Kimia Farma (Persero) Tbk, and Holcim Indonesia
Tbk.
In Q3, the company has applied PSAK 24 (2013) in Q2 was also incorporated into the
calculations as many as 115 companies (23.6%), because if it had adopted PSAK 24 (2013) in
Q1 and Q2, then directly've implemented in Q3. The number of companies that have applied
PSAK 24 (2013) in Q3 cumulatively that 194 companies, or 39.8% of the total sample.
Companies that totally new implement in Q3 as many as 80 companies. Companies, among
others Adira Dinamika Multi Finance Tbk, Agung Podomoro Land Tbk, Shoes Bata Tbk, Bank
Mandiri (Persero) Tbk, and Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk.
The next analysis is analysis using regression models. Regression model testing done
by logistic regression, because the dependent variable is a dummy. The test results of logistic
regression models shown in Table 3.
Prob>Chi-Square 0 0 0
From the results of these tests show that the independent variable EMPLOYEE and CAP
have significant effect on the application of PSAK 24 (2013) in Interim Financial Reports 2015
as the dependent variable. In Q1 CAP variables have significant variables with the value of
each 0,000, the value is smaller than the value of α = 0.05. In Q2 CAP and EMPLOYEE
variables that have a significant influence, with respective values of 0.000 and 0.035. In Q3
CAP variable, with a value of 0.000, while the variable EMPLOYEE becomes insignificant.
Variable DER and ROE are insignificant in every quarter in 2015. This indicates that a
significant factor determining companies applying PSAK 24 (2013) in interim financial report
is a market capitalization (CAP) and the number of employees (EMPLOYEE).
So the first hypothesis that larger capitalization companies tend to be faster in applying
PSAK 24 (2013) in interim financial statements and the second hypothesis the company with
larger number of employees tend to be faster in applying IAS 24 Revised 2013 in the interim
financial statements is acceptable. Variable DER, ROE, and AUDITOR no significant effect on
the company's decision to determine the applicability of PSAK 24 (2013) in interim financial
statements, so the hypothesis third, fourth, and fifth is not proven.
In this research, also conducted a sensitivity test. Test sensitivity is done by issuing a
variable CAP. Sensitivity test results are shown in Table 4. The sensitivity of the test results
showed different results with the results of previous regression testing. The regression results
show that the sensitivity test variable EMPLOYEE and AUDITOR be significant. AUDITOR
variable becomes significant, when the variable CAP is issued. Variable AUDITOR and CAP
have a strong relationship, this is evidenced by the correlation test in SPSS, which the Auditor
and the CAP have a strong relationship, but the relationship is strong does not show symptoms
multicolinearity, it has also been proven in testing the regression model, where all variables we
tested did not have any symptoms multikolinearitas. The relationship between the Auditor and
the strong CAP may occur due to CAP and AUDITOR associated with firm size. Companies
that are likely to have large market capitalization and audited by public accountant "Big 4".
Prob>Chi-Square 0 0 0
In this research also analyzed the impact of the disclosure of the presentation of PSAK
24 (2013). The impact of adoption of PSAK 24 (2013) include the company must make the
restatement on the financial statements of previous years and the emergence of actuarial gain
or loss in other comprehensive income. Based on the analysis of the companies that already
implemented in Q1, Q2, and Q3 result, At companies that apply PSAK 24 (2013) in Q1 there
were 65 of the 72 companies that restated, while seven companies have not been restated, 7
companies that have not been restated its financial statements recently restated in Q2 and Q3.
Companies that apply PSAK 24 (2013) in Q2, as many as 43 companies have restated their
financial statements, companies that apply PSAK 24 (2013) in Q2 everything has restated its
financial statements. In Q3 as many as 45 companies have been restated, while 34 companies
have not been restated.
The application of PSAK 24 (2013) financial statements also give rise to actuarial
gains or losses in the statement of income and other comprehensive income. Companies that
apply PSAK 24 (2013) are generally split into two its comprehensive income items that are
classified in the income and items not classified in income in accordance with the rules in PSAK
1 (2013). Revised actuarial gains or losses that arise will be in posts are not classified in profit
and loss. Of the 72 companies that apply PSAK 24 (2013) in Q1, as many as 41 companies
halve its comprehensive income, while the rest do not make distributions on its comprehensive
income. In Q2 of 43 new companies to apply PSAK 24 (2013), as many as 37 companies to
halve its comprehensive income. Of the 79 new companies to apply PSAK 24 (2013) in Q3, as
many as 46 companies already halve its comprehensive income.
5. CONCLUSION
Based on the research results and the analysis conducted, it can be concluded that there
are still many companies that have not applied PSAK 24 (2013) in interim financial statements,
even until the third quarter (Q3) 2015. In Q1 there are 72 companies that have applied and 415
companies not apply. In Q2 cumulatively there are 115 companies that have applied, while 372
companies have yet to implement. In Q3 cumulatively There are 194 companies that have
applied and 293 companies have not implemented. Despite the increase of the company
applying the PSAK 24 (2013) in an interim financial report in 2013, but the company did not
apply the amount still greater.
Market capitalization and number of employees have significant effect on the
application of PSAK 24 (2013) in the interim financial statements of 2015. The results of the
sensitivity test showed that the auditor has significant influence in the company's consideration
to apply PSAK 24 (2013) in interim financial statements, it is possible that the influence of
auditors offset by the effect of market capitalization in the first logistic regression, because a
strong relationship between the auditor and market capitalization related to the size of the
company. The impact of the adoption of PSAK 24 (2013) company must restated (restatement)
to the financial statements of previous years. The restatement resulted in a change in particular
in liabilities and equity reported by the company. The application of PSAK 24 (2013) also
resulted in the emergence of an actuarial loss or gain in the company's income statement.
Companies that apply that apply PSAK 24 (2013) should be disclosure presentation correctly,
but there are still many companies that do not yet precisely such disclosures are not restated or
not to do the classification of gains / losses are in the income statement. The application of
PSAK 24 (2013) also resulted in a decrease in the value of DER and ROE.
This research has limitations that this research uses the number of companies listed on
the site Indonesia stock exchange until December 31, 2015, the addition of the company after
the date of December 31, 2015 are not included in the population and the measurement of the
application of PSAK 24 (2013) in the financial statements using the information presentation
in the report financial position, statements of income and other comprehensive income,
statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements. Measurement of the
implementation of PSAK 24 (2013) does not pay attention to whether the company uses a
defined benefit plan or a defined benefit, fearing they would extend the time of the study.
This research also provides empirical evidence to regulators, standard setters, and
users of financial statements that many companies listed on the exchange have not applied the
standards should be. Regulators should provide more oversight or, if necessary sanctions for
companies that do not implement the standard as appropriate, for the standard setters are
expected to be in conducting socialization and gather suggestions from companies, for users of
financial statements are expected to be more careful in reading and using the information in
interim financial statements.
