1. Preliminary
In a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) report a fantastic
fine, amounting to US $ 29.2 million to a well-known Halliburton
company in violation of corrupt practices or the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act (FCPA). In the lyrical SEC report, explained that the
Halliburton company earned only US $ 14 million in profits from
a business deal considered to violate FCPA. Thus, this fantastic
side is worth the error: Halliburton belongs to a leading
multinational company that deserves business ethics and
legislation. Especially in the United States apply SOX, FCPA, and
other regulations and become a role model of management
practices. Halliburton as a large corporation should have and
implement anti-fraud governance in which it is fraud risk
management and fraud control.
The fine for Halliburton is related to Halliburton obtaining
business by paying corruptive payments to get oil service
contracts to Angola state-owned company named SONANGOL.
In addition to a $ 29.2 million fine, the Halliburton Company is
also required to obtain an independent consultant who will review
and oversee the anti-corruption policies of Halliburton for at least
18 months, then Halliburton Vice president Jeannot Lorenz fined
USD75,000 for FCPA violations, internal accounting control and
falsify bookkeeping and records. The case of Halliburton's
position according to the SEC begins with Halliburton's efforts to
maintain a local company in Angola owned by former Halliburton
employees who became comrades and neighbors of the
SONANGOL official who finally approved the contract.
Halliburton made a $ 13 million contract to a local company to
comply with local content provisions, not for the scope of work.
Lorenz should have left the scope of the contract and searched for
the right contractor.
In this mismanaged corporate governance practice, Lorenz failed
to execute a competitive tender, avoiding the obligation to request
a review of a procurement contract to a local company first to a
special committee at Halliburton. Halliburton paid US $ 3.705
million to a local Angola company and finally awarded
Halliburton the seven contracts. Learning from this case,
Halliburton appears to have internal rules and controls to prevent
corrupt practices regarding obtaining contracts and subcontracting.
However Halliburton failed in its implementation resulting in
reputational risk and compliance risk. The profit earned is eroded
by a fine. Internal auditors in assurance of the earnings (sales) or
business acquisition cycle must be aware of fraud risks. Similarly,
in conducting assurance on the procurement cycle (purchase)
internal auditors should be wary of fraud risks. This obligation has
been determined by the internal audit standards issued by the
Insititute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
Is there a link between earnings management and risk
management in corporate management. Therefore, the authors are
interested to do this research, with the theme of earnings
management and risk profile of the company, in view of the
banking industry. The authors highlight this theme, as it sees the
banking industry in Indonesia as being vulnerable to earnings
management and risk profile.
2. Literature Review
In this study the theme of profit management and risk profile in
banking companies in Indonesia. The research done by this writer
is almost the same as the study done by [1] in banking companies
in Brazil. However, research conducted by [1] uses data on
financial statements that range between 2001 and 2012 in Brazil.
Seeing the importance of banking in the economy in a country, it
is necessary to do similar research in Indonesia country. In a study
conducted by [1] looking at how discretionary accrual factors are
found in financial funds, they are used as analytical tools
developed by using profitability ratios from banking in doing
research. In earnings management, the role of a manager in the
banking industry uses a model discretionary accrual accounting,
which can directly create legal and illegal practices, when viewed
from the accounting side. But this practice of earnings
management, making the role of agents can influence the
perception of risk and business analysts of the company as a
whole. As described in paragraph 1, a study conducted by [1] in
Brazil, gives results that banks in Brazilian countries practice
earnings management. What is the hypothesis that has been built
in the research, do the test using 2SLS method and give significant
results, for the hypothesis that is made. The first conclusion
