1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
Conservatism is a principle which most affect the accounting valuation (Sterling, 1970 in Watts, 2003a). Because of that conservatism today and still have an important role in accounting practices. Conservatism is defined as a concept for delaying the recognition of future cash inflows (Watts, 1993), and as a conservative accounting is generally stated that the accountant should report the accounting information of the lowest of several possible values for assets and income, as well as the highest of several possible value of liabilities and expenses (Hendriksen, 1992).
Lo (2005) defines conservatism as a pessimistic outlook in accounting. Conservative accounting means that accountants be pessimistic in the face of uncertain income or loss by selecting the principles or policies that slow the recognition of revenue, accelerate the recognition of the cost, lowering the valuation of assets and raising debt rating.
In fact there are pros and cons surrounding the application of the principles of conservatism. Critics claimed that the conservatism of this principle led to the financial statements to be biased and so can not be used as tools by the users of financial reports to evaluate corporate risk. Monahan (1999) in Mayangsari and Wilopo (2002) states that the more conservative accounting so the reported book value of equity will be increasingly biased.
