Whistleblowing in government institutions is a controversial topic regarding its impact on employees, companies and society. Although whistleblowers face a dilemma, the majority of fraud disclosures originate from employees or internal parties. The impact of professionalism, ethical sensitivity, and personal cost on whistleblowing intention is investigated in this study. The purposive sampling method was used to choose 54 tax employees from KPP Pratama Bukittinggi in West Sumatra as respondents. The result found professionalism and personal cost had an effect on whistleblowing intention, while ethical sensitivity had no effect. These findings can be used by the government and policymakers to improve professionalism in their work and boost whistleblower protection.
Since Indonesian accounting standards allow companies to choose between cost model and revaluation model on their fixed asset, there are still few companies that revalued their assets. This study examines what factors make banking companies choose to revaluate fixed asset, that are contracting factors (leverage, operating cash flow), political factors (firm size) and asymmetry information (intensity of fixed assets). By using logistic regression, the result of this study showed that firm size and fixed asset intensity had a positive effect on the company choice to revaluate fixed assets, while leverage had a negative effect on fixed asset revaluation. This study support early research with regard to contracting, political cost and asymmetry information. This study failed to find the effect of operating cash flow on fixed asset revaluation. Based on the results of this study, banks should consider leverage, company size and the intensity of fixed assets more than cash flow when choosing to revaluate fixed assets.
