Abstract


Abstract

This research aims to prove the effect of information technology implementation and top management support on the quality of accounting information systems as one solution to the problem of agency theory, which is measured through the level of information technology implementation activities and top management support to suppress information asymmetry. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method from a questionnaire given to 106 States Own Enterprises. There are 3 respondents in each enterprise so the total respondents are 318 people. 280 questionnaires were returned and could be processed (response rate of 88%). The results showed that the application of information technology and top management support had a positive effect on the quality of accounting information systems. The better the support of top management, the better the quality of accounting information systems. Furthermore, partially and simultaneously the implementation of information technology and top management support play an important role in improving the quality of accounting information systems, as well as in helping to solve agency problems.

Keywords: Agency theory; Implementation of information technology; Quality of accounting information systems; Top management support
