Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of audit committee (AC) and independent commissioners (ICs) in relation to companies’ going concern opinion. Based on the Indonesian GCG rules, one of its duties is to maintain company’s long term going concern. However, prior studies show that the existences of AC and ICs have no influence on the performance of their companies. As such, this study analyzed four companies with going concern opinion, two of them received the opinion from their external auditors (Berlian and SLJ) and the other two should be given going concern opinion based on their Z score (Panasia and Bentoel). The role of AC members and ICs was analyzed from their educational background, experience, and independency. The data of this study were collected from the four companies’ annual reports from 2012 to 2014, commissioner reports, websites, and social media. The results show that the role of AC and ICs has not yet been optimal as required by the rules. It suggested that future studies to conduct in-depth interview with related parties and to explore the role of AC and ICs in other companies.
