Abstract
This study aims to examine and analyze the differences in the level of earnings management in companies going public in Indonesia in the three era of tax reform. The level of earnings management is measured using discretionary accruals. This study uses a sample of 77 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the research periods 1995, 2001, 2009, and 2010. Data were analyzed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). This study found that the level of earnings management in 1995 in which Law No. 10 of 1994 came into force showed a significant difference compared to the level of earnings management in 2001, 2009, and 2010.
