Forty-seven companies from period of 2008 to 2017 participated in this study. Moderated regression analysis (MRA) is used to analyse the data. the result show that there is negative relationship between adoption of IFRS-based convergent accounting standard and accounting quality. In addition, the corporate governance is failed to play as moderating variable between adoption of IFRS-based convergent accounting standard and accounting quality. Out of four control variables employed in this study, only three variables (company size, age and profitability) consistently effect on accounting quality in three models. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed detail in this paper.  

Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi dampak adopsi standar akuntansi keuangan hasil konvergensi dengan International Financial Accounting Standard (IFRS) terhadap kualitas akuntansi dengan menggunakan data perusahaan Indonesia. Selain itu, artikel ini juga menganalisis peran implementasi Tata Kelola korporasi sebagai variable moderasi antara adopsi standar akuntansi keuangan dan kualitas akuntansi. Empat puluh tujuah perusahaan berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini dengan data keuangan yang berasal dari laporan tahunan dari tahun 2008 sampai dengan tahun 2017. Analisa regresi moderasi (moderated regression analysis) digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk menganalisa data dengan menggunakan pirantik lunak GRETL. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa adopsi IFRS di standar akuntansi keuangan Indonesia berpengaruh negatif terhadap kualitas akuntansi. Namun, tata kelola korporasi gagal memoderasi hubungan antara adopsi IFRS dan kualitas akuntansi. Dari empat variable control yang digunakan dalam studi ini, hanya tiga variable yang berpengaruh terhadap kualitas akuntansi yaitu ukuran perusahaan, umur perusahaan, dan profitabilitas perusahaan. Implikasi teori dan praktis dibahas mendalam dalam artikel.
