Purpose: This study analyzed the influence of Public Accounting Firm (PAF) reputation and company size on the quality of audits, with audit tenure functioning as a moderating variable in the relationship. Methodology: This research utilizes secondary data derived from the annual reports of LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2015 to 2022. Employing a purposive sampling method, the study generated a sample consisting of 31 companies over an eight-year period. The study employs quantitative methods and moderated regression analysis using the SPSS to test the formulated hypotheses. Results: The findings reveal that PAF reputation has a significant positive effect on audit quality, whereas company size does not demonstrate a notable influence. Additionally, audit tenure weakens the positive relationship between PAF reputation and audit quality, suggesting that extended audit engagements may erode auditor independence and professionalism due to the development of close relationships between auditors and clients. This study emphasizes the intricate dynamics between PAF reputation, company size, and audit tenure in shaping audit quality. The results stress the critical need to uphold auditor independence, particularly in long-term engagements, to ensure robust audit quality. Limitations: This research has limitations concerning the sample, data, and other variables not included in the model. The sample for this study comprises LQ45 entities listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), which may limit the generalizability of the findings to all entities in Indonesia. The secondary data is derived from the publicly available financial statements of these entities, which may pose constraints on the accuracy or completeness of the available data. Contribution: This research provides a theoretical contribution to understanding the complex relationship between the reputation of public accounting firms, entity size, and audit quality, with audit tenure serving as a moderating variable.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) characteristic, containing CEO age, CEO tenure, and CEO gender on the earnings management examined by the discretionary accruals among 42 firms listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for five years in 2018 until 2022. Results/findings: The results show that CEO age has no association with earnings management. CEO tenure has a significant positive association with earnings management, whereas CEO gender has a significant negative association with earnings management. Thus, to minimize earnings management, it is crucial to consider the length of time the CEO has been in their position (tenure). Contribution: The results of this study support both investors and creditors in determining which energy company credit offers to accept. Before making decisions about investments and credit, creditors and investors may take the CEO's traits into account. The CEO's traits may have an impact on the company's earnings management. Managers who are motivated by personal interests control earnings in the financial accounts. Good financial statements serve as the foundation for decisions made by creditors and investors. When earnings management is included, financial statements become unqualified and may cause consumers to be misled when making judgments.

The research sample was determined by purposive sampling method to obtain 47 energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2022. The independent variables used in this study are leverage, growth opportunity, and firm size. Earnings Response Coefficient serves as the dependent variable in this research. This study employs panel data with a Fixed Effect Model regression. The data used has passed the classical assumption tests. Results/findings: The study results show that the growth opportunity has a positive and significant influence on the earnings response coefficient. However, the leverage and firm size do not have affect on the the earnings response coefficient. Limitations: This study has limitations as it was conducted only in the energy sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with an observation period of five years. The independent variables used are leverage, growth opportunity, and firm size. The Earnings Response Coefficient, as the dependent variable, is measured by regressing unexpected earnings against cumulative abnormal returns. Future research is expected to use other independent variables, such as capital structure, conservatism, and earnings persistence. Contribution: This research can be used for adding knowledge in the financial field, especially for those who want to invest in a company by analyzing the Earnings Response Coefficient, which reflects the market's reaction to the company's earnings. This study contributes by showing that investors pay more attention to a company's growth opportunity when evaluating its earnings.
