Company Characteristics on the Corporate Social Reporting Index of Corporate Social and Environmental Disclosure in Indonesian Public Companies

Corporate Social and Environmental Disclosure (CSED) is a form of reporting on the implementation of social and environmental responsibilities that must be included in the company's annual report. However, how extensive or how much information must be delivered is still voluntary. This paper attempts to examine the effect of earnings management, managerial ownership, profitability and firm size on corporate social and environment disclosure. The findings of this study reveal that earnings management, managerial ownership, company size and company profitability have a significant positive effect on the extent of corporate social responsibility and environmental disclosure. This finding encourages the government to stipulate regulations that explicitly and clearly regulate the practice and disclosure, and supervision of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in companies in Indonesia so that the practice and disclosure of CSR in Indonesia is increasing.

The bidirectional relationship of tax aggressiveness and CSR: Evidence from Indonesia

This study aims to examine the simultaneous relationship between tax aggressiveness and CSR of non-financial companies in Indonesia. This study also aims to examine the moderating role of risk management in this relationship. This paper is an empirical work using a sample of Indonesian publicly listed companies that comprises 328 firm-years (2013-2020). The data was then processed using simultaneity test and 2sls regression. This paper finds that there is a simultaneous relationship between tax aggressiveness and CSR. Tax aggressiveness has a negative significant effect on CSR. Also, CSR has a significant negative effect on tax aggressiveness. Risk management strengthens the effect of tax aggressiveness on CSR and strengthens the effect of CSR on tax aggressiveness. This paper contributes to the current tax aggressiveness and CSR literature by examining the probable bidirectional relationship between the two. Existing studies have examined the one-direction relationship only, whether CSR to tax aggressiveness or tax aggressiveness to CSR. This is the first study examining the role of risk management in moderating the relationship between CSR and tax aggressiveness. This study is useful for corporate management in making CSR and tax aggressiveness strategy. Government can make a regulation that mandates the companies to do risk management activities and disclose their risk management policies and implementation. Shareholders can rely on companies' disclosures regarding CSR activities because this study supports that firms with higher CSR disclosure have low-level tax aggressiveness
