Abstract : The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of real earning management on corporate performance on companies indexed in JII period 2013-2015. The research method used is explanatory which is designed to analyze earnings management practice for 3 years. The populations in this study are companies listed on the BEI in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) in 2013-2015. The technique of determining the sample in this study is purposive sampling. The data source used in this study is the annual financial statements published by publicly listed indexed companies in JII and published during the year 2013 to 2015. The results of the research with F test shows that together proxies real earning management that is cash flow operational, production cost and discretionary expense affect the performance of the company proxies with ROA. From the result of t test is known proxy production cost and discretionary expense have an effect on to company performance, while proxy Cash flow operational does not have an effect on to company performance. Keywords: Real Earning Management. CFO. PROD. DISCR. ROA Introduction Financial statements are sources of information used to assess the financial position and financial performance of a company which consists of income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of financial position . alance shee. and statement of cash flows. This financial report is used by investors, shareholders, creditors, suppliers, employees, and other financial analysts to obtain important information about the company that is useful in the decision making Basically, financial statements are an important source of information used by investors in assessing company performance. In the process of preparing financial statements cannot be separated from the intervention of managers related to the achievement of the desired profit targets of the company. The management modifies reported profits to look in good conditions with the aim that investors or creditors can invest. Profit engineering done by ordinary managers is called earnings management. Profit management is closely related to the level of earnings or achievement of a company so it is not surprising that managers often try to accentuate achievement through the level of profit or profit Earnings management is an action performed by the management by raising or lowering reported profits from the unit in charge which has no relation to the increase or International Journal of Economics.

Approach in earnings management, namely earnings management with real approach and accrual approach (Accrual Earning Managemen. Accrual Earning Management is the management of profit through the use of accounting methods. While Real earning management is a manipulation performed by management through the real activities of everyday companies during the accounting period. In this study, the profit management approach used is earnings management through real corporate activities (Real earning managemen. The concept of Roychowdhury . show that real earnings management is done through Cash Flow Operational. Production Cost and Discretionary Expense. While to measure company performance using profitability ratio that is ROA (Return On Asse. Research on real profit management has been done by Yusnita et al. with the results of real earnings management through, operating cash flow and production costs and the cost of simultaneous discretion have a significant effect on company performance. Instead research conducted by Koyuimirsa . showed that there is no influence of the three elements of real profit management on the performance of the company. The studies that have been conducted among others by Mayar . Oktorina et al. Fitriyani et al . Sa'diyah and Hermanto . Based on the description above it can be formulated as follows: . how Cash Flow Operational effect on company performance? . How does Production Cost affect company value? . How does discretionary Expense affect the value of the company?. The purposes of this study are: . the influence of Cash Flow Operational on company performance . the influence of Production Cost on company performance . the influence of discretionary expense effect on company performance. Literature Review 1 Agency Theory According to Jensen and Mecking . agency relations is a contract between managers . , with investors . Principal is the party that employs agents to perform tasks for the interests of principal, while the agent is the party that runs the interests of principal. The existence of separation of ownership by principal by controlling by agent in an organization tends to cause conflict of agency among principal and agent. The Agency Theory explains that if the company is in poor performance, managers can act opportunistically by raising accounting profit to hide bad performance, otherwise when companies in good performance managers act opportunistically by lowering their accounting earnings to postpone good performance (Suyudi, 2. With the financial statements reported by the agency as accountable for performance, the principal may assess, measure and monitor the extent to which the agent works to improve its welfare and as a basis for compensation to International Journal of Economics.

Meanwhile, according to Sulistyanto . earnings management is an effort of corporate managers to intervene information in the financial statements with the aim of fooling stakeholders who want to affect the performance and condition of the company. Profit management occurs when managers use consideration in financial reporting and transaction preparation to alter financial statements, in order to manipulate the amount of earnings to some stakeholders about the firm's economic performance or to influence the outcome of the agreement depending on the accounting figures reported (Healy and Wahlen. 3 Real Earning Management Real Earning Management is management actions that deviate from normal business practices conducted with the primary objective to achieve profit targets conducted in three ways: manipulation of cash flow operations, decrease of expense of d discretionary and excess (Roychowdhury, 2006. Cohen and Zarowin, 2. Graham et al. proved that managers prefer real earnings management rather than accrual earnings management, since real earnings management activities are difficult to distinguish from optimal business decisions and are harder to select, even though the costs used in those activities are economically significant for the company. Real activity such as discretionary cost reduction is preferred by managers rather than accrual manipulations as a way of managing earnings. According to Roychowdhury . in Subekti. Kee and Ahmad . Real earnings management is measured using abnormal cash flow operations (Abn CFO) and abnormal production cost (Abn PROD) greater than other companies and abnormal discretionary expenses (Abn DISC ) is smaller. 4 Cash Flow Operations Operating cash flows contain details of the amount of cash receipts and disbursements from the operations of the company. In Roychowdhury . it is explained that the method used for operating cash flow to abnormal targets is sales management. Sales management is related to the manager's effort to increase sales during this accounting period in order to increase profits that match the targets set. Actions taken to increase sales are through offering excessive discounts and offering soft credit credits. This is all done to increase sales volume as well as achieve shortterm profit targets that will give effect to the good performance displayed by managers. Cash Flow Abnormal operation / Abnormal cash flow operations (Abn CFO) are earnings manipulations made by a company through a cash flow operation that will have a cash flow lower than its normal level.

Roychowdhury . explains that the decline in the cost of goods per unit of goods produced massively has the impact of reporting high operating margins and operating cash flow is lower than the level of abnormal sales. This overproduction technique is needed to achieve the expected demand by the Production in large quantities resulting in fixed overheads divided by large unit amounts of goods will result in an average cost each unit with cost of sales decreased.

To assess the performance of company's financial ratios such as debt equity ratio (DER), return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), net profit margin (NPM) and so forth. In this study the ratio used to measure company performance is asset (ROA). ROA is one of the profitability ratios that measure the ability of companies to earn profits in relation to total assets This ratio is used to see the ability of companies to manage each asset value they have to generate net profit after tax. The higher the ROA of a company, the better the company's ability to manage its assets. The ratio of ROA in this study is measured by the ratio between net income after tax to total assets of the company (Martono, 2004: . The formulas looking for ROA are as follows: 8 Hypothesis Based on the theoretical framework and background above it can be arranged hypothesis: H1: Cash Flow Operational positively affects the company's performance on go public company indexed in JII.

CFO of 7,812 and last is abn. PROD of 7,104. Discussion From the results of statistical tests that have been done show that the variable Cash Flow Operational proxied with Abn. CFO of 0. 150 > . , this means Abn. CFO has no significant effect on ROA on public go public indexed in Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). This shows that real earnings management on Cash Flow Operational proxy does not affect company performance. This proves that in improving the performance of the company management is not motivated to perform profit management actions through real activity on operating cash flow post. Operating cash flow occurs in accordance with the company's operations without any engineering from For example there is no engineering effort to boost cash income in order to increase profit or cash expenditures with the aim of reducing corporate profits. The results of this study support research conducted by Wijayanti et al . with the results of the research analysis shows that the approach to real earnings management through post operating cash flow does not affect the company performance. In contrast to the research that has been done by Yusnita et al . , states that there is influence of real earnings management through operating cash flow to company performance. Result of test to variable Abn. Prod has an effect of 0. 034 means <0. 05, this shows the result that the variable Production cost has a positive and significant effect on the ROA variable in the public company indexed in JII. This shows that in showing the performance of the management to manage the real activity is on post production costs. To get the desired profit then the manager will make the emphasis on production costs by producing goods in large quantities that will be able to reduce production costs. As a result of the emphasis on production costs will reduce the selling price and is expected to increase sales so that will be obtained higher profits. This is in line with research conducted Yusnita et al . , states that there is influence of real earnings management on post production costs with excess production affect the performance of the company. Contrary to research conducted Koyuimirsa . showed that there is no effect of real earnings management through post production costs on the performance of the company.

Disc 0. <0. 05, this indicates Discretionary Expense has a positive and significant effect on ROA. This means that the management of earnings through discretionary costs is done to show better the company's performance. Management wants to show good performance then carried out the management in achieving the expected profit by emphasizing the cost of advertising, research and development costs of the company. The emphasis of discretionary costs will reduce the business costs so that it will increase the company's profit. The results of this study support the research conducted by Yusnita et al . , states that there is influence of real earnings management on post production costs with excessive production affect the company performance. Bertolsk back with the results of research that has been done Koyuimirsa . showed that the management of real earnings through post costs discreione not affect the company performance. From result of F test with significance equal to 0. 000, means that value < 0. 05 then this means test model is feasible to use. And simultaneously, three independent variables have significant effect on ROA. The results show that managers perform real earnings management through, operating cash flow and production costs and discretionary costs in an effort to boost company performance. This is in line with the results of research conducted by Yusnita et al. with the results of real earnings management through, operating cash flow and production costs and the cost of simultaneous discretion have a significant effect on company performance. Instead research conducted by Koyuimirsa . showed that there is no influence of the three elements of real profit management on the performance of the company. Closing 1 Conclusion Based on the results of analysis and data test and discussion, then this research produce some conclusions as follows: Operational cash flow, production cost and discretionary expense, simultaneously affect the company's performance (ROA) in the indexed company in JII year 2013-2015. Operational cash flow has negative and insignificant effect on company performance (ROA) This means that real earnings management with proxy cash flow operational / operating cash flow does not affect company performance in indexed company in JII year 2013-2015. Production cost and discretionary expense have positive and significant influence to company performance (ROA). This indicates that real earning management at Post Production cost and discretionary expense have an effect on to company performance in indexed company in JII year 2013-2015. From the result of R2 test of 0. 214 indicates that the influence of operational cash flow, production cost and discretionary expense to company performance (ROA) is 21,4% the rest equal to 78,6% influenced by other variables outside variable used in the study.

To better represent suggested for further research can be done on other companies such as indexed in compass 100. LQ45 and companies with other categories. Thus, it can be seen comparison in reporting earnings at these companies. Bibliography
