1. INTRODUCTION

Each company employs a number of employees in its business. Companies are

employers who have obligations to employees that employee benefits. The level of materiality

of the value of the employee benefits will affect how the entity present the information

records of PSAK 24. PSAK 24 changes have a significant effect on the entity that owns the

rewards in the form of defined benefit pension and other long-term benefits.

PSAK 24 (2013) is the adoption of IAS 19 Revised 2011. After 2011, IAS 19

underwent two revisions, namely in 2013 and 2014. Revised PSAK 24 will have an impact on

the presentation of reclassification and so the company had to apply the new method

retrospectively. In the transition mentioned that this applies PSAK retrospectively, except for

the adjustment of asset values and sensitivity analyzes. As a result of these changes the

company will present three statements of financial position comparative year are 2015, 2014

and early comparative period of 2014. Changes in PSAK 24 will also produce other

comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of income and other comprehensive income

and OCI in equity.

Fasshauer et al., (2008) conducted a study on the application of accounting standards

for employee benefits, IAS 19 Employee Benefit, on companies in 20 European countries.

The companies are analyzed using three methods in the measurement of employee benefits.

The method consists of a full recognition through the Statement of Recognised Income and

Expense (SORIE), full recognition through Profit & Loss, and the 'standard' corridor

approach. The results of these studies show that companies that apply IAS 19 that uses the

latest full recognition method through the Statement of Recognised Income and Expense

(SORIE) better in disclosing information related to employee benefits. The application of IAS

19, based on full recognition through the Statement of Recognised Income and Expense

(SORIE) also carries a significant effect on the balance sheet and income statement. In this

study also suggested that the measurement of employee benefits should only use a single

method that is full recognition through the Statement of Recognised Income and Expense

(SORIE).

Early adoption of of a new standard can be seen as a standard adoption. Research

conducted by Harahap (2010) explained that the decision about the time of change to PSAK

24 on financial statements is influenced by the size of the company, the estimated costs, debt

agreements less restrictive, positive change of Return On Equity (ROE), and public

accounting firms which audits. Larger company tends to be faster in applying PSAK 24, the

company estimates the cost of implementing PSAK 24 is greater, not first to apply, the

company's policy against the debt agreement does not affect the timing of the application of

PSAK 24, companies with positive changes ROE would be faster to apply PSAK 24, and a

large public accounting firms (Big 4), which audits influence to the implementation of PSAK

24.

This research aims to analyze how the application of IAS 24 changes in the interim

financial report 2015. The use of interim financial report will be interesting because there are

many companies that turned out to not apply it in the beginning of the interim period, even

though the application of IAS 24 Revised 2013 effective starting January 1, 2015.

This research consists of an introduction, literature review and hypothesis

development, research methods, research and discussion, and conclusion.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW AND HYPOTHESIS DEVELOPMENT

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.

Harahap (2010) also conducted a research of changes of return on equity (ROE),

change in PSAK 24 (2013) retrospective nature resulted in a change to equity in prior years.

Changes to equity will result in changes ROE, ROE for changes in the past years become a

basic consideration for deciding the application of PSAK 24 (2013), the company with the

change of positive ROE (favorable) is expected to be faster in applying PSAK 24 (2013).

ROE changes that can positively make it easier for management to attract investors and not to

worry on earnings management is done, because small changes in ROE. In this research

carried out modifications where changes favorable ROE is a great change in ROE, ROE great

changes resulted in significant changes to the information, which the company should present

the information as soon as possible. It was developed in the following hypothesis:

H4: Companies with a larger change in Return On Equity (ROE) have possibility in

implementing PSAK 24 (2013) earlier.

Harahap (2010) also mentions that companies audited by public accounting firms

were great also faster in applying PSAK 24 (2013). Revised large public accounting firm will

generally be offered to clients to implement the new standards as soon as possible, due to

large public accounting firms tend to keep the integrity of its affiliates in the world. Large

public accounting firms are considered better understand the regulation of new accounting

standards than small ones, this can be evidenced by the issuance of central module of their

affiliates if the new standards are issued. Therefore the companies audited by a large public

accounting firms are expected to be faster in implementing PSAK 24 (2013). It was

developed into a hypothesis as follows:

H5: Companies audited by a public accountant's office "Big 4" have possibility in

implementing PSAK 24 (2013) earlier.

3. RESEARCH METHODS

This research is using descriptive statistical analysis, logistic regression, and

qualitative analysis. This research aimed to analyze the factors and the impact of PSAK 24

(2013) in an interim financial report 2015. The analysis also conducted on disclosures relating

to the implementation of PSAK 24 (2013).

This research uses regression model similar to the regression model on research

Harahap (2010) with modifications. Here is a model of research that will be used:

Adoption Timing = α + ᵝ1 CAP + ᵝ2 EMPLOYEE + ᵝ3 DER + ᵝ4 ROECHANGE +

ᵝ6 AUDITOR + ε

Adoption Timing

: Dummy variable, the value 1 to companies that adopt PSAK 24 (2013) 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 2015EMPLOYEE : The number of employees of the company in 2014DER : Debt to Equity Ratio 2014ROECHANGE : 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.

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".

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.
