INTRODUCTION

GAAP's General Accounting Principles and IFRS International Financial Reporting Standards as two internationally accepted standards have different ways of measuring and recognizing the company's assets, in particular to its fixed assets. At this time, IFRS companies assess fixed assets using a fair or fair value system. Indonesia which entered IFRS into its accounting system (PSAK) from 1 January 2012 also received assessment and recording. This change will certainly affect regulatory changes, recording, reporting, and disclosure of assets in the financial statements.

This study analyzes the determinants of asset revaluation as measured by Leverage with previous researchers (Barac and Sodan (2011), Lin and Peasnell (2000), Iatridis, (2011), Pierra (2007), Jaggi and Tsui (2001), Choi, (2012) ), Courtenay and Cahan (2004), Azousi and Jarboui (2012), Lopez (1999), Seng and Su (2010)), Ownership Structures with previous research (Piera (2007), Back and Lee (2016)), Liquidity with previous researcher (Manly (2008), Tay (2009), Cheng and Lin (2009), Barac and Sodan, (2011), Seng and Shu (2010)), and firm size with previous researchers (Lin and Peasnel 2000) Seng and Su (2010), Barac and Sodan (2011) Tay (2009)) and its impact on corporate value. Furthermore, this study also analyzed the effect of asset revaluation has a positive effect on firm value such as Courtenay and Cahan (2004) and Tay (2009). The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of leverage, ownership structure, liquidity and size to asset revaluation and its impact on firm value

Conceptual Framework and Hypothesis Development

Revaluation of Fixed Asset

According to Tay (2009), fixed assets revaluation can be upward revaluation and downward revaluation. Upward revaluation is the restatement of asset book value as far as it does not exceed net current value or recoverable value.upward revaluation refers to the incremental value of asset book value, while downward revaluation means that net current value is below the book value. The upward revaluation of fixed assets increases the value of shareholders' equity and fixed asset value. Upward revaluation can also lower the financial-leverage ratio such as debt equity ratio (Tay, 2009).

PSAK No. 16 year 2017 explained that when an asset is still revalued, the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment is adjusted for the amount of revaluation. On the date of revaluation, the asset is treated in one of the following ways: (a) the gross carrying amount is adjusted consistently with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset. For example, the gross carrying amount may be restated with reference to market data that can be observed or may be restated proportionally to changes in the carrying amount. The accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is adjusted to equalize the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after deducting the accumulated impairment loss; or (b) the accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.

1) Effect of leverage on revaluation of fixed assets

Leverage describes all of the company's assets and financial risks that will be the burden of future companies that will ultimately affect revenue. Companies that use high debt structures to finance their investments are considered to be at risk. Companies with high debt levels will decide to revalue their assets to improve the company's feasibility before the creditors. Companies with high debt ratios are more likely to revalue their assets because revaluation may lower the value of the debt ratio. Including leverage is the debt equity ratio and debt asset ratio. Research in accordance with this study were Barac and Sodan (2011), Lin and Peasnell (2000), Iatridis, (2011), Piera, 2007), Jaggi and Tsui, (2001), Choi (2013), Courtenay and Cahan, ( 2004). Azouzi and Jarboui, (2012), Lopes, (2012) and Seng and Su (2010).

H1: Leverage positively affects asset revaluation

2) Influence of ownership structure on revaluation of fixed assets

A company with ownership of centralized ownership is more capable of revaluing assets. Included in the ownership structure are majority ownership and foreign ownership. Research in line with this research is majority ownership and foreign ownership. Piera, (2007) explains that foreign ownership and Baek and Lee (2016) explain that majority ownership positively affects asset revaluation so that higher levels of foreign ownership and majority ownership will increase asset revaluation

H2: The ownership structure has a positive effect on asset revaluation

3) Influence of liquidity on asset revaluation

Liquidity has a significant negative impact on the choice of revaluation methods. Revaluations help provide more actual information about the amount of cash that can be received from asset sales, thereby helping to increase the company's loan capacity and reduce borrowing costs. The choice of revaluation method is likely to be conducted by a company with low liquidity, whereas a company with high liquidity does not need to revaluate its fixed assets. The liquidity includes quick ratios, current ratios and decreased cash flow

Researchers have the same opinion with previous research conducted by Black, Sellers and Manly (2008) and Tay (2009). The researcher assumes that companies with low liquidity tend to choose to use revaluation method to show the value of their fixed assets that can actually be converted in cash, observed by Mainly (2008) and Tay (2009) explains that current ratio negatively affects asset revaluation so that higher the current ratio of asset revaluation will be lower as well as Barac and Sodan (2011) and Sheng Shu (2010), explaining that the decrease in cash flow will revalue the asset,

H3: Liquidity negatively affects asset revaluation

4). The effect of firm size on asset revaluation

Political costs are often associated with firm size. Previous studies used firm size as a proxy of political factor (Lin and Peasnell, 2000a). According to Seng and Su (2010) firm size is an important factor in the company's decision to revalue the assets. When large companies report high profits, this report will draw the attention of regulators and others with power and capacity, to create new rules that reallocate company resources. In addition, large corporations also attract the attention of trade unions as they relate to payrolls by companies (Brown et al., 1992 in Seng and Su, 2010). For that, large companies will use income reducing procedures and reduce the likelihood of loss due to regulation (Brown et al., 1992).

Overseas research finds that large companies will revalue fixed assets (Brown et al., (1992), Tay, (2009), Seng and Su, (2010), Iatridis and Kiligiotis, (2012). or trade unions, large firms will avoid high earnings reporting Upward asset revaluation is an effective way to reduce earnings reporting through increased depreciation costs as a result of an increase in asset revaluation (Seng and Su, 2010) Lin and Peasnel (2000) Seng and Shu (2010), Barac and Sodan (2011), Tay (2009) explain that the higher the size of the firm size firms the ability to revalue the asset will be greater, it explains that firm size positively affects asset revaluation. company size is total revenue and total assets

H4: firm size positively affects asset revaluation

5. Influence of Asset Revaluation on Corporate Value

Revaluation of fixed assets should be a positive information for external parties, because in addition to being able to motivate the improvement of the company's performance reflected in the profit and stock price of the company. Research that is in line with this research is Courtenay and Cahan (2004) and Tay, (2009). Which includes the company's value is tobins Q, stock return and price book value. The hypothesis is that the higher the asset revaluation the higher the value of the firm.

H5: Asset Revaluation has a positive affect on firm value

Based on Table 4.2 Descriptive companies show 1) The average debt asset ratio is 0.4823, this shows that the average debt compared to total assets less than 1 so that the total debt can be supported by total assets so that the company's assets can be used to fund debt; 2) the average Debt equity ratio is 1.5255, greater than 100% so that the sample in this study the amount of debt is greater than the capital, then the debt is certainly not fair, with the record debt is not a debt that ' dangerous', but a debt that does support the company to grow; 3) The average majority of ownership is 64.6444%, indicating that control over 50% of stocks and Claessens (1999) research indicates that majority ownership in Indonesia is mostly family ownership, so family-controlled firms have low agency conflicts . This is due to the low conflicts of interest between principals and agents in family-controlled companies over other companies; 4) The average current ratio of 0.7986 means the current asset is not able to cover all current liabilities so that the company's ability to pay its short-term debt is less; 5) The average value of the quick ratio of 0.3714, it shows that the ratio can not show the ability of the most liquid current assets to cover current liabilities; 6) The average size of the company is the total assets of 440,341,048 thousand, so that companies included in the sample research including large categories; 7) the average Revaluation of Assets is positive amounting to 3,107,873,01 so that the revaluation of the Company's fixed assets, due to an increase in the value of fixed assets on the market or due to the low value of fixed assets in the company's financial statements caused by devaluation or other causes, fixed assets in the financial statements are no longer based on the cost model; 8) The average tobins q is 26.8477. So the greater the value of Tobin's Q indicates that the company has good growth prospects. This can happen because the greater the market value of the company's assets compared to the book value of the company's assets the greater the willingness of the investor to issue more sacrifices to own the company; 9) the average magnitude of pbv is positive at 2.3414 the higher the P / BV value of a stock indicates excessive market perception of the firm's value.

After reducing the invalid indicator then the loading factor in Table 4.3 gives the value above the recommended value of 0.5 and more than 1.96. Means indicator used in this research is valid or have fulfilled convergent validity.

1. The Effect of leverage on revaluation of fixed assets

The results showed that leverage has no effect and negatively on asset revaluation. Hail this research in line with Cahan (2004) explains that leverage negatively affect the asset revaluation so that the higher the leverage then the asset revaluation will decrease. Seng and Su (2010) argue that lenders are aware of the asset revaluation and the likelihood arising from the revaluation of assets has become a consideration in determining the debt agreement. The results of this study are in line with Jaggi and Tsui (2001) and Seng and Su (2010) studies, which do not find any effect of corporate debt with the choice of managers to revalue. This study proves that in companies in Indonesia, the increase in leverage is not a variable that motivates managers to perform upward revaluation

2. The Effect of ownership structure on revaluation of fixed assets

The effect of ownership structure with fixed asset revaluation is positive and significant. Concentrated ownership has easy private information access to managers, thereby reducing the traditional agency conflict between managers and shareholders. Gain on this condition, ownership is concentrated as the majority shareholder can influence company policy. This is because management is part of the majority shareholder. In concentrated ownership conditions there is an agency problem between management and shareholders is reduced, but there is another agency problem that is between insider shareholders (manager and majority shareholder) and outsider shareholder (Yunos 2011). Relevant research was conducted by Nekounam et al. (2012) who assume that cooperation between blockers and managers is a very useful thing and this cooperation reduces the task of monitoring, so as to increase the value of the company and affect the perception of other shareholders about the quality of profit through revaluation. Therefore, in this study it was concluded that considering the benefit of conservatism as a criterion of earnings quality, this would make concentrated ownership negatively related to conservatism. Next Yunos (2011), argues that insider ownership (management and majority shareholder) will lead to a lack of conservatism because it does not require this tool to control and monitor for the running of the company's management mechanism. This is because the manager who is the owner, has interests that are in line with the majority shareholder and consequently the use of conservatism as a monitoring tool becomes decreased.
