KH. Agus Salim No 10, Sondakan, Lawyan, Surakarta Indonsia ka.wina2@gmail.com Abstract: This rsarch aims to xamin and analyz th ffct of audit quality attributs on th cost of quity capital. Th audit quality attributs is masur by th siz of th public accounting firm, th industry spcialty auditor and audit tnur. Manwhil, th cost of quity capital is masur by using th PE Ratio. Th population in this study is all manufacturing companis listd on Indonsia Stock Exchang on Sampling tchniqu using purposiv sampling mthod obtaind by sampls 27 companis during th yar obsrvation. Th rsult showd that th variabl siz of th public accounting firm and th industry spcialization of th auditor ngativly affct th cost of quity capital. Manwhil, audit tnur dos not affct th cost of quity capital. Basd on th dtrmination cofficint tst (R 2 ) obtaind th cofficint of dtrmination with adjustd R 2 of 0,527. Ths rsult show that 52,7% of variabls cost of quity capital can b xplaind by th siz of th public accounting firm, th industry spcialization of auditors and audit tnur. Whil, th rst of 47, % is xplaind by othr factors outsid th modl in this rsarch. Kywords: [audit quality attributs ; cost of quity capital] 1. INTRODUCTION Th sparation of ownrship and control of th company causd th asymmtry of information btwn company managrs and invstors (Hajiha & Sobhani, 2012). Currntly, th transparncy and th quality of financial information is th basis of conomic dcision-making of invstors, crditors, and othr usrs. Auditing rducs th information asymmtry that xists btwn managrs and stakholdrs of th company by allowing outsid partis to vrify th validity of th financial statmnts (Hajiha & Sobhani, 2012). According (Khurana & Raman, 2004) Audit is a rquirmnt for usrs of financial statmnts. Th rol of th monitoring of audits dsignd to improv information about th company. This will rduc th asymmtry of information btwn th company and invstors. Th gratr th risk of information ncountrd by invstors, th gratr th valu th quality of audits. Audit information rducs th risk facd by invstors bcaus it allows thm to vrify th validity of th financial statmnts. Any warranty on th quality audit will lowr th cost of quity capital. Spcialization industry Auditors as diffrntial, this stratgy givs Auditors a comptitiv advantag. Thus, th spcification of th industry was abl to giv a bttr auditor quality. An auditor indpndnc will b lost if thr is a vry clos rlationship btwn th Auditors with clints bcaus it will influnc th opinions and attituds of th auditors thmslvs. An auditor indpndnc will b lost if thr is a vry clos rlationship btwn th Auditors with clints 56

2 bcaus it will influnc th opinions and attituds of th auditors thmslvs. On of th most influntial is auditing a long tnur. Auditing a long tnur would giv ris to a sns of motional kinship btwn th public accounting or with th clint as a rsult, th quality of th audit work th auditor comptnc and will dcras. Th cost of quity capital is th rturn xpctd by invstors as thy invstd mony in th company. In othr words, th cost of capital arnd from trad btwn risk and rturn. This is an important fact that must considrd by th managr that th risk information is rportd to affct th rat of rturn invstors. Th risk of information dpnding on th lvl of classifid information and th accuracy of th information rportd. (Hajiha & Sobhani, 2012) statd that rsarch conductd (Khurana & Raman, 2004), Hop t al (2008), Ahmd t al (2008), Stok t al (2009) provid vidnc of a dirct rlationship btwn th diffrnt dimnsions of quality audits ar rlatd positivly with a cost of quity capital. According to (Jnsn & Mckling, 1976) in (Stiawan & Daljono, 2014) Agncy thory is th rlationship that occurs in a contract btwn a party with othr partis. In th contract, thr ar two partis namly th ownr (th principal) and an agnt is giv a party authorizd by th ownr to tak a dcision in accordanc with th intrsts of th principal. Agncy thory assums that all individuals Act in thir own intrsts. Sharholdrs acting as principals assumd ar intrstd only in th financial rsult incrasd or thir invstmnt in th company. Whil th agnts assumd to rciv gratification in th form of financial compnsation and th trms that accompany such a rlationship. (DAnglo, 1981) indicatd that big Auditors tn to dlivr high-quality audit srvics on crtain clints rathr than small Auditors bcaus of dpndnc in conomic mattrs th auditor on th clint can b ignord for Auditors and Auditors hav grat largr losss (losss will los its rputation) in cas of failur of th audit, th Auditors compard to small. Balsam and Krishnan (200) in (Dsiliani & Miranto, 2015) says that th auditor spcialists tnd to invst mor in th rcruitmnt and training of staff, information tchnology and audit tchnology mor sophisticatd than th non-auditors spcialist. Industrial spcialist Auditors also tnd to hav an incntiv to kp thir rputation and avoid damag to rputation. This shows that th spcialist auditor industry providing quality highr than th audit th auditor of non-spcialist. As a rsult, thy tnd to b not in th intrvntion by rprsntativs of managmnt. Aftr svral yars of auditor audit srvics to clints that will gnrat a clos sns of family thn can impact th dclin in th quality of financial rporting. Audit th audit rsultd in th tnur of high quality, so that should rduc th risk of information and produc a cost of quity capital is lowr. This rsarch aims to (1) prov that rlationship btwn th siz of public accountant firm against th cost of quity capital. (2) Prov that thr is a rlationship btwn audit industry spcialitis against th cost of quity capital. () Prov that thr is rlationship audit tnur against th cost of quity capital. 57

7 Discussion a. Th ffct of siz public accounting firm on th cost of quity capital Th siz of th public accountant significantly ngativ ffct on th quity cost of capital. Th rsults of this rsarch ar consistnt with rsarch conductd by (Frnando, Abdl-Mguid, & Eldr, 2010), (Dsiliani & Miranto, 2015), (Stiawan & Daljono, 2014). This is bcaus th Big 4 only slcting th bst srvics in th audit. Th bst srvic it will giv ris to invstor confidnc. Trust givn this will rduc th cost of quity capital. Th public accounting firm of th Big 4 is a public accounting firm of a good quality, so it is assum that ownd auditor has th ability and attitud of indpndnc. As a rsult, thy tnd to b not in th intrvntion by rprsntativs of managmnt. b. Th ffct of auditor's industry spcialization on th quity cost of capital. Th auditor s industry spcialization significantly ngativ ffct on th quity cost of capital. Th rsults of this study ar in lin with rsarch (Hajiha & Sobhani, 2012), (Frnando, Abdl-Mguid, & Eldr, 2010), (Hrustya, 2012). According to Balsam & Krishnan (200) in (Hajiha & Sobhani, 2012) Stats that th auditor spcialists tnd to invst mor staff training and rcruitmnt srvics, information tchnology, and tchnology audit cutting dg than th Auditors of non-spcialists. An auditor who is a spcialist in th industry also tnds to hav an incntiv to protct thir rputation capital and avoid damag to rputation. c. Th ffct of audit tnur on th cost of quity capital Th audit tnur no ffct on th quity cost of capital. Th rsults of this study ar in lin with (Suparno & Kiswara, 201), (Dsiliani & Miranto, 2015), (Arta & Sari, 201). According (Dsiliani & Miranto, 2015) stating that thr is an indication of a positiv rlationship btwn audit tnur with quity cost of capital. Basd on th rsults of th audit of rsarch, tnur can nlarg quity cost of capital. Th old Allianc auditor 's assssmnt can lad to a growing bias against th potntial risk of th company can valuatd invstors incrasd mor than xpctd rat of rturn incrasd. Conclusion Th rsults of tsting hypothss 1 and 2 which Stats th siz of th public accountant to th quity cost of capital, and industrial spcialtis auditor ffct on quity capital costs supportd by mpirical vidnc with a lvl of significanc of 5%. Th rsults of this study indicat that (1) siz accountant public firm Big 4 prioritizs th bst srvics in th audit. Th bst srvic it will giv ris to invstor confidnc. Trust givn this will rduc th cost of quity capital. (2) Spcialty industry Auditors usually hav a lot of clints ngagd in th sam fild will hav a lot of xprinc and undrstanding of th spcial audit risks in th industry that can rduc th cost of quity capital. () Th Audit of tnur has no ffct on th quity cost of capital. This is in lin with rsarch (Suparno & Kiswara, 201), (Dsiliani & Miranto, 2015) and (Arta & Sari, 201) thr is an indication of a positiv rlationship btwn audit tnur with quity cost of capital. Th old Allianc auditor 's 62

8 assssmnt can lad to a growing bias against th potntial risk of th company so can valuatd invstors incrasd mor than xpctd th rat of rturn incrasd. Th company is xpct to furthr raliz th importanc of th quality of an audit in th futur so that conflicts btwn ownrship and control that may caus th information asymmtry and th problms that incras th cost of capital rqustd by an invstor can b ovrcom. Th company can fix ths conflicts by publishing crdibl financial statmnts. Suggstions that furthr rsarch is ndd to dvlop th nxt can do is rsarch sampling not only from th manufacturing company but also othr industris such as LQ45, ral stat, banking or tlcommunications and incrasd rsarch into th priod of 5 yars, so that subsqunt rsarch rsults bttr. 5.
