Abstract
Corruption within corporations has become an important issue in academic and public debate. This study examines the impact of political connections and the gender of executives on anti-corruption disclosures (ACD). Using a sample of 29 state-owned enterprises (SOEs) listed on the BEI (Indonesia Stock Exchange) from 2015 to 2017, we ran a multiple regression analysis that shows political connections negatively affect ACD. The findings also show that executive gender, specifically having women on the boards of SOEs in Indonesia, does not affect the impact of political connections on ACD. This research makes an important contribution to the literature by developing and empirically testing the study of anti-corruption disclosure within legitimacy theory.
