The study aims to further investigate factors affecting income smoothing and examines the influence of return on assets, dividend payout ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and financial leverage on the practice.
Influence of Strategic Investment Management Practices on Financial Performan...IOSRJBM
This research aimed at analyzing the influence of Investment management practices on financial performance of manufacturing companies using evidence from Kenya’s sugar industry. The following specific objectives were addressed by this study: to assess the influence of strategic Investment management practices on financial performance of sugar Manufacturing companies in Kenya and to determine the influence of Board structure as a moderating factor on the financial performance of sugar manufacturing companies in Kenya. This study was guided by agency theory. This research adopted a descriptive research design in which a census of all the targeted population of 12 manufacturing companies jointly from sugar manufacturing industry were drawn from a list of 800 manufacturing companies in Kenya, whereby a proportionate random sample of 109 employees were interviewed from all the 12 sugar manufacturing companies in Kenya. Questionnaires were administered as the main tool of data collection whereby 102 questionnaires were collected representing a 93.6% response rate. Descriptive statistical techniques were applied to describe application of strategic financial management practices in the sampled manufacturing companies which were sugar manufacturing companies in this study. Inferential statistical techniques such as Correlation analysis and regression analysis were applied to test the hypotheses of association and differences. Gathered data was processed by computer and the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) which was the main computer software that was utilized in data analysis. The strategic Investment Management practices’ null hypothesis was rejected implying a significant effect on financial performance. Board structure was found significant implying board structure as a moderating value has a significant effect on financial performance.It is therefore recommended that it is important for firms to retain their profits so that they can reinvest and gain higher returns on investments and shareholder equity. This study suggests the need for further research on other economic factors besides Investment management practices that influence the financial performance of sugar manufacturing companies and other companies.

This research work investigated the influence of firm size on the financial performance of deposit money banks quoted on the Nigerian stock exchange. The research work is necessitated by the need to find the factors that respond positively or negatively to the financial performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Five deposit money banks were sampled with the aid of Taro Yemeni sampling technique to represent the entire banking industry in Nigeria. The firm size proxied by log of total assets represents the explanatory variable while the financial performance measured by profitability proxied by return on asset is the dependent variable. The analysis was conducted using the pooled OLS regression and fixed effect/random effect regression with the aid of STATA for panel regression. In addition, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were computed. The finding of the study indicates that firm size insignificantly negatively influenced financial performance as a result of diseconomies of scale. The study therefore recommends that the industry should minimize the cost of expansion and enjoy maximum benefits of economies of scale in addition to other factors that may stimulate financial performance should be considered instead of the firm size that indicate insignificantly negative effect.

The increase in the manipulation of accounting records and collapse of some Nigerian Deposit Money Banks have left question in the mind of researchers on the role of corporate governance. This paper was carried out to examine the impact of corporate governance attributes on earnings management of listed Deposit Money Banks from 2009 to 2017. The study used a sample size of thirteen 13 banks. The dependent variable was measured using Discretionary Loan Loss Provision Model by Chang, Shen and Fang 2008 . Correlational design was employed the secondary data was obtained from the annual reports of the firms and Nigerian Stock Exchange website. The results from the multiple regression analysis proved that board size has positive and significant impact on earnings management board independence has negative and significant impact on earnings management while board of directors' ownership has insignificant impact on earnings management. The study concludes that effective monitoring role of independence directors will constrain the opportunistic behavior by managers. The paper therefore recommends among others that banks should increase the numbers of independent directors on the board to improve their monitoring effectiveness.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

INTRODUCTION
The financial statement is the company financial information resource. Financial
statements prepare the information those related with financial position and performance. One
of the performance measurement is company’s profit. Statement of Financial Accounting
Concept (SFAC) No. 1 about "Objectives of Financial Reporting by Business Enterprises”
states that profit information is the important factor in measure the company financial
performance and helps the owner and other party to appraise company’s earning power for next
term (Yadiati, 2007:89).
The company is not always able to maintain the stability of profit achievement.
Business competitiveness is one of the factor of profit fluctuations. The investors assume this
situation is bad for their investment security. Eventually manager concludes that profit
achievement is the most important section of a financial statement for investor. This trend
triggers manager doing dysfunctional behavior (Prabayanti and Yasa, 2010).
Income smoothing is one of dysfunctional behavior aims to create a positive respon of
company’ value from investor. On the other hand shareholders as the end user of financial
statement need transparent and accountable financial information.
Miscellaneous Industry companies is the most progressive sector in Composite Stock
Price Index with average increase in stock price about 24,55 % for the period 2009 to 2013.
Miscellaneous Industry companies noted as the highest growth sector and able to record
positive performance within 2009-2013, whereas negative sentiment tends to decrease
Composite Stock Price Index reach 490% (ift.co.id). At the end of 2014 this sector still noted
as the highest growth in Composite Stock Price Index namely 1,68%. The investors pay more
attention to Miscellaneous Industry companies’ performance. It is also possible that the
manager of the company applies the income smoothing.
Income smoothing includes the efforts to minimize the profit if it is more than normal
profit as usual, or to enhance the profit if it is less than the expected. The aim doing income
smoothing is to give a sense of security to investors with the stability of profit. It is also increase
investor’s ability in predicting company’s profitability.
The researches about the influencing factors of income smoothing in companies which
are listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange show inconsistency result yet. Budiasih (2009),
Prabayanti and Yasa (2010), Widana and Yasa (2013) concluded that ROA as Profitability
measurement has significant influence to income smoothing practice. On the contrary to the
research of Santoso (2010), Dewi and Zulaikha (2011) proved that ROA has no significant
influence to income smoothing practice.
Company size variable is also investigated by many researcher including Susanto and
Octaviana (2011), Dewi and Zulaikha (2011), Santoso (2010), Budiasih (2009). All the
research found that size effects significantly to income smoothing practice. Meanwhile
difference result is founded by Kustono (2009), Christiana (2012),Widana and Yasa (2013).
On the research conducted by Budiasih (2009), Gayantri and Wirakusuma (2012) concluded
that Dividend Payout Ratio significantly affects income smoothing but Kustono (2009),
Christiana (2012),Widana and Yasa (2013) showed otherwise.
The other variable is Debt to Equity Ratio which is investigated by Santoso (2010). The
research found that DER has significant influence to income smoothing practice. However
Rahmawati and Muid (2012) showed that DER has no significant influence.
Financial leverage is also one of variable that investigated by Budiasih (2009), Christiana
(2012), Widiana and Yasa (2013). The researchs show that financial leverage affects income
smoothing insignificantly. Different result was generated on Wijaya (2009) and Santoso (2010)
research.

The aims of this research are to reinvestigated about the factors those affect income
smoothing practice as these are still have research gap. This research examines the influence
of ROA, DPR, DER and Financial Leverage to income smoothing practice.
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK AND HYPOTHESIS
Financial Statement
Financial statement is the information of company’s financial that prepared and
reported by management to internal and external parties. Financial statements contain all of
business activities of the company that must to be counted for. For this reason, financial
statements are management’s communication tool to stakeholders (Yadiati, 2007:51).
In line with this opinion, Ikatan Akuntan Indonesia (IAI) states that financial statement
is one of main medium that can be used by the company to communicate the financial
performances to other parties (IAI, 2012).
Earning
Belkaoui (2011) argues that Earning (profit) operationally defined as the difference of
realized income arising from transactions within a period and historical cost. Profit is a basic
and important section from financial highlight for various needed.
Earning Reporting Purposes
Harahap (2004:42) states that the purposes of earning reporting are to prepare the
information for all stakeholders. For the specific reasons, profit reporting can be used to
measure management efficiency, forecast the stock price and dividend distribution in the
future, and as guidance for decision making process.
Agency Theory
Agency theory is one of approach used to explain the trend of income smoothing
practice. Agency theory is the relationship or contract between the principal and manager
(agent). The underlying problems of agency theory is conflict of interest between principal and
manager as these parties have difference goals particularly those involving the effort to
maximize the satisfaction every party (Harmono, 2011:3).
Basic assumption of agency theory is individuals try optimizing their own interest.
Principal is motivated doing contract in order to increase their welfare by optimizing the profit.
On the other hand, the manager’s motivation is fulfilling their economic and psychology needs
(Widyaningdyah, 2001:91).
Asymmetry of information is the condition which is any imbalance of information
between management as information provider and principal or stakeholders as information
user. According to Rahmawati (2012:3) there are two types of Asymmetry of information i.e.
adverse selection and moral hazard. Adverse selection occurs because internal party has better
information than external party. Moral hazard caused by the separation of the ownership and
management as the characteristic of established company. This Asymmetry of information
allows the conflict between principal and agent. For minimizing the conflict management tries
to accommodate the interest by doing income smoothing.
Earning Management
Mulford and Comiskey (2010:81) state that earning management is accounting
manipulating action aims to create a better impression of company performance.
According to Scott (2000), the pattern of earning management includes:
➢ Taking a Bath
Management’s action to state the future costs and writing off some assets.
➢ Income Minimization
Management’s action to write off assets, advertising cost, resource and development costs,
etc to achieve the certain level of return on asset or return on investment. This action usually
doing when the company booked higher earnings.
4. Jurnal Benefita 2(3) Oktober 2017 (220-229)
Kopertis Wilayah X 223
➢ Income Maximization
Manager makes effort to state high net income with gaining higher incentives motivation.
This pattern is also done to avoid the
➢ Income Smoothing
Income smoothing defined as profit normalization. Managers tends to normalize the profit
as it is note between bogey (minimum profit to get bonus) and cap (maximum profit to get
bonus). For Risk Averse Manager, they will choose to reduce the flow of bonus and income
smoothing will be the best choice.
Income Smoothing
Income smoothing can be defined as efforts to flatten the rate of profit that is deemed
normal in the present (Chariri and Ghozali, 2007: 370).
Belkaoui (2011) defined income smoothing as the early and the final definition. The
early definition said that it reduces fluctuations in earnings from year to year by transferring
income from the years of high earnings to a less favorable period.
In other condition, income smoothing means as the final definition as it is deemed for
a phenomenon to manipulate the profile of earning to minimize the variation of the profit and
loss statement.
Income Smoothing Motivation
Income smoothing is done for many reasons such as to reduce the tax, to increase the
confidence of manager because stable income will support the stable policy.
Income smoothing is also done to avoid employee’s pressure for salary or wage
increasing.
The Factors Affecting Income Smoothing
According Positive Accounting Theory (PAT) there are three factors influence the
income smoothing i.e. the bonus plan hypothesis, Debt Covenant Hypothesis and Size
Hypothesis/political cost hypothesis.
Return on Asset
Return on assets (ROA) is a profitability ratio that measures a company's ability to
generate profits from assets that were used.
Firm Size
Firm size defined as the scale to classify the firm according a variety of ways including
total assets, log size and value of the stock market.
Dividend Payout Ratio
Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) is a certain percentage of corporate profits paid out as
cash dividends to the shareholders.
Debt to Equity Ratio
Debt to Equity Ratio shows the proportion between total debt to total shareholders'
equity (total equity).
Financial Leverage
Financial Leverage is the use of financial resources which has the fixed cost with the
expectation of providing additional benefit that is greater than the fixed cost. The expectation
that a change in earnings per share (EPS) is greater than the earnings before interest and taxes
(EBIT).
RESEARCH METHOD
Population and Sample
The population of the study is the Miscellaneous Industries company that has been
listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2009 to 2013. The sampling technique in this
research is using purposive sampling method of sampling techniques using specific constraints
and considerations, for the purpose of research and representative in accordance with the
5. Jurnal Benefita 2(3) Oktober 2017 (220-229)
Kopertis Wilayah X 224
specified criteria. Researchers determined criteria includes the companies that are consistently
listed on the Stock Exchange in 2009 through 2013, the company did not make acquisitions
and mergers in the period of 2009-2013. Companies which make acquisitions and mergers
during the observation period will result in the variables in the study undergo changes that are
not comparable with the previous period. Based on the sampling criteria, then there are 29
listed companies sampled in this study.
Sample Classification Method
The numbers of sample those have been selected are classified into groups instead of
grading using Eckel Index (1981) as follow:
Eckel Index = 𝑪𝑽Δ𝑰𝑪𝑽Δ𝑺
ΔI = Change of net profit in a period
ΔS = Change of sales in a period
CV = Coefficient Variation
CVΔI and CVΔS can be calculated as follow:
CV∆I or CV∆S=√
𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑/𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
Or
CV∆I or CV∆S = √∑
(∆X − ∆X)
̅̅̅
n − 1
2
: ∆X
̅
ΔX = profit or sales changes between year n with year n-1
ΔX = Profit or sales changes average between year n to year n-1
n = years observed
Companies considered doing income smoothing practices when CVΔI< CVΔS.
Data Analysis
Data will be analyzed by using multiple regression analysis to examine the influence of
dependent variables to independent variable. For the second phase the research also used
discriminant analysis to examine the differences between groups of independent variables.
This research develop a model to be examined i.e.
Y = a + b1 X1 + b2 X2 + b3 X3 + b4 X4 + b5 X5 + e
Y = X1 + X2 + X3 +......+ Xn
Non metric = Metric
Research analysis requires some testing such as preliminary testing and hypothesis
testing. Later on, this research will examine the difference using discriminant.
DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Based on Eckel Index calculation for 29 samples, there are 19 companies did income
smoothing.
This research shows the result that all variables have been tested (ROA, Firm Size,
DPR, DER and Financial Leverage) affect the companies to do income smoothing practice.
But the determination of variables is only 0,070 or 7% means all independent variables can
6. Jurnal Benefita 2(3) Oktober 2017 (220-229)
Kopertis Wilayah X 225
explain the dependent variables for 7% and the rest for 93% is described by other variables out
of the model of this research.
Multiple Regression test showed the model i.e.: Y = -5,389 + 0,112XROA +
0,463XSIZE - 1,489XDPR - 0,068XDER + 9,746XDFL. This model can be explained:
1. Return on Assets Regression Coefficient is 0,112 means every changes on Return on Assets
will influence positively the trend of income smoothing directly proportionally for 0,112
points.
2. Firm Size Regression Coefficient is 0,463 means every changes on Firm Size will affect
positively the trend of income smoothing directly proportionally for 0,463 points.
3. Dividend Payout Ratio Regression Coeficient is -1,489 means every changes on Dividend
Payout Ratio will affect negatively the trend of income smoothing for 1,489 points.
4. Debt to Equity Ratio Regression Coefficient is -0,068 means that the changes of Debt to
Equity Ratio will influence negatively the trend of income smoothing for 0,068 points.
5. Financial Leverage Regression Coefficient is 9,746 means that every changes on Financial
Leverage will affect positively the trend of income smoothing for 9,746 points.
Discriminant Analysis
Discriminant analysis that has been done shows the result there is difference between
the companies which are do income smoothing and the companies which are do none for Return
on Assets. The other variables have no difference. This table will show the result of
discriminant analysis:

The Influence of ROA to Income Smoothing
Discriminant Test Result showed in previous table described that ROA of companies
with income smoothing practice has difference with companies which are do not significantly
(for significance 0,004). ROA for companies with income smoothing is noted 0, 0056 less than
ROA for other companies i.e. 0, 1365.
Based on the result of multiple regression analysis described that ROA has significance
value 0,869 which is greater than 0, 05 (tvalue 0,165 less than table 1,977). It is mean hypothesis
that was proposed is rejected or ROA has no significant affect to income smoothing practice.
ROA does not affect the trend of income smoothing, it is because the ROA is still in a position
to be considered either by the company. When linked with the results of discriminant analysis
the companies with income smoothing practice have smaller ROA than the groups without
income smoothing. This means companies tend to do income smoothing because of lower
corporate profits.
These results are similar to studies conducted by Dewi and Zulaikha (2011) on the
analysis of the factors affecting income smoothing in manufacturing companies and financial
listed on the Stock Exchange (2006-2009) with independent variables company size,
profitability (ROA), financial leverage, and industries with the results of the study is only the
7. Jurnal Benefita 2(3) Oktober 2017 (220-229)
Kopertis Wilayah X 226
size of companies that have a significant effect on income smoothing. However, this study is
different from the results of research conducted by Budiasih (2009), Prabayanti and Yasa
(2011), Widana and Yasa (2013). Budiasih (2009) concluded that the return on assets has a
significant positive effect on income smoothing. Differences in the results of this research are
in terms of sectors studied and differences in the study period.
The Influence of Company Size to Income Smoothing
Based on the results of testing that has been done, partially Company size has a positive
influence on income smoothing, with a significance level of 0.001 <0.05. According to the
political cost hypothesis in a positive accounting theory argued that large companies tend to do
maintenance on profits in order to avoid the emergence of a new policy. The government is
likely to impose costs that are considered in accordance with the ability of large companies
where the company will be burdened with great cost. So management is motivated to do the
income smoothing practices so that the company's performance is still considered good.
The results of this study support previous research conducted by the Dewi and Zulaikha
(2011), Susanto and Oktaviana (2011), Rahmawati and Muid (2012). However, this study is
different from the research conducted by Christiana (2012), Widana and Yasa (2013).
Christiana (2012) concluded that company size is not the determining factor the company will
practice income smoothing, this is because most of people pay less attention to the size of a
company. Widana and Yasa (2013) concluded that the variable firm size has no effect on the
income smoothing. Christiana (2012) also concluded that the variable firm size has no effect
on the income smoothing.
The Influence of Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) to Income Smoothing
Based on the test results a negative value indicates that the DPR have a relationship in
the opposite direction with the Income Smoothing, with a significance level of 0.039 <0.05
means DPR also has significant influence on income smoothing. Dividend policy is the
percentage of profit paid out to shareholders in the form of cash dividends secure dividend
stability over time, the distribution of stock dividends and stock repurchases. The Dividend
Payout Ratio, in determining the magnitude of the amount of retained earnings of companies
must be evaluated within the framework of the purpose of maximizing the wealth of
shareholders (Harmono 2011: 12). The results of this study differ from research Christiana
(2012), Widana and Yasa (2013). Christiana (2012) concluded that the dividend payout ratio
has no effect on income smoothing while dividend payout ratio policy is a decision of the
general meeting of shareholders that may not be detected by management. Widana and Yasa
(2013) concluded that the dividend payout ratio does not have a significant effect on the income
smoothing.
The results of this study support previous research conducted by Budiasih (2009) who
argued that the DPR influence on income smoothing. This is due to stable profit will make
dividend to investors and prospective investors will also be stable.
The Influence of Debt to Equity Ratio to Income Smoothing
Based on test results DER not significantly affect income smoothing. DER variable
insignificant influence on income smoothing. The results of this study differ with debt
covenants hypothesis in a positive accounting theory states that companies that have a high
debt to equity ratio, the company's managers tend to use accounting methods that can increase
revenue earnings. These results are consistent with research conducted by Rahmawati and
Muid (2012) where the results show that the debt to equity ratio does not significantly influence
income smoothing. But the result is different from the research done by Santoso (2010) who
argued that the DER has a significant influence on income smoothing. DER influential
companies allegedly defaulted (not able to settle their obligations at maturity) due to financial
difficulties.
8. Jurnal Benefita 2(3) Oktober 2017 (220-229)

The Influence of Degree of Financial Leverage to Income Smoothing
DFL partial influence on the practice of smoothing earnings is not significant, with a
significance of 0.968> 0.05. It is due to the larger the debt of the company, the greater the risk
faced by investors and investors will increasingly ask profits higher. An increase of leverage
can lead to increased risk but at the same time it will also increase the number of returns to be
gained, therefore, management does not use this variable to perform income smoothing
practices.
The results support the research conducted by Christiana (2012), Dewi and Zulaikha
(2011), Prabayanti and Yasa (2010) who argued that financial leverage has no effect on income
smoothing. But not in line with the research Wijaya (2009) who conduct research on factors
that affect income smoothing a case study in the real estate industry and the property is in good
standing in the Indonesia Stock Exchange concluded that the financial leverage effect on
income smoothing index. Santoso (2010) were also conducted case studies on real estate and
property industry in Indonesia Stock Exchange also concluded that the financial leverage
significant influence on the practice of income smoothing.
CONCLUSION
Based on the description, analysis, and discussion that has been described, it can be
concluded as follows: Partially Size Company and Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) have an
impact on income smoothing, while Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER),
Financial leverage have no impact on income smoothing. Return on Assets (ROA), firm size
(size), Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Financial leverage together
have an impact on stock prices in companies of various industries in the Indonesia Stock
Exchange.
There is a difference between the grading company profit and not profit grading. The
difference lies in the Return on Asset (ROA). While the variable of company size (size),
Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Financial Leverage showed no
difference.
Future studies are expected to be able to test some of the other alleged factors have an
influence on income smoothing, such as institutional ownership, the reputation of auditors and
others.
The company is expected to improve financial performance and the company's
management performance each year so that the perception of investors about prospects for the
future management performance can be maintained properly. Investors should be more
selective in determining and deciding to invest in the company because the company that
practice income smoothing is a company whose profits are low.
