- Abstract
The corporate governance literature has widely recognized the role of debt contracts as a mechanism that can minimize agency problems arising from conflicts of interest between managers and capital owners and between minority and majority ownership. Our research seeks to investigate capital structure decisions in family firms. Our research involves earnings management proxies and minority interests. The main research question is whether minority interests play a role in influencing the earnings management and financing decisions of family firms. We use the panel data method and involve 90 family companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2010–2020. The results of the study prove that minority ownership plays a role in encouraging earnings management practices and capital structure decisions in family companies. The governance of family companies in Indonesia has allowed minority ownership to act as an external control mechanism. Even in family firms, our research proves that the presence of minority ownership remains an important part of family management decision making.
