Abstract

This study examines the relationship between ERP system implementation and earnings management. The study population is basic and chemical industry companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The sample in this study is in the form—annual financial statements of 11 companies that meet the criteria for purposive sampling. The financial statement period is set 3 years before the implementation of the ERP system, and the financial report is three years after the implementation of the ERP system. Research shows that financial statements produced with ERP systems are not able to reduce the existence of manipulation of financial data. The amount of investment and exceed expectations of the implementation of the ERP system is the reason for the need for research to determine the benefits obtained after the implementation of the system.
