IMPACT OF SIZE, LEVERAGE, PROFITABILITY, AGE AND INDEPENDENT COMMISSIONERS ON INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL DISCLOSURE

Abstract

The publishing of PSAK No. 19 on intangible assets marked the beginning of the idea of intellectual capital in Indonesia. It turns out that even while Indonesia has seen an increase in the disclosure of intellectual property, it is still a very little rise. Companies in Indonesia should be compelled to declare their intellectual property, especially those in the finance industry. This is because the financial services sector employs more intellectual capital in its operations than the industrial sector, which is heavily reliant on information and hence needs more on tangible assets. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how business age, leverage, profitability, and independent commissioners affect the disclosure of intellectual property. This study used a sample of 83 financial sector businesses that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020–2021. There were 105 enterprises in the population overall. Panel data regression analysis with the Eviews programme version 12 is used in this study. The results of this study show that company age, debt, and business size all have positive and significant effects on the disclosure of intellectual capital. Profitability and the presence of independent commissioners, however, have little bearing on the disclosure of intellectual property. This study also shows that a variety of factors, like firm age, profitability, leverage, and independent commissioners, might affect the disclosure of intellectual property.
