Accountants in the company have an important role in making financial statements. The financial statements made by an accountant must be accountable (Sulistyowati, 2017). An accountant in carrying out his obligations must comply with the code of ethics, comply with existing rules. Accountant is one of the important professions in the business field because it is related to finance, therefore accountants must apply the ethics of the existing accounting profession (Payne, Corey, Raiborn, & Zingoni, 2019). The Indonesian Institute of Accountants (Keuangan, 2019) which stipulates the accountant's code of ethics, the code of ethics is a norm and behavior that regulates the relationship between auditors and customers, between auditors and colleagues, and with the community.
The financial statements made can meet applicable standards and are made in accordance with the original circumstances (Ana & Ga, 2021). The code of ethics is a standard that must be met, including for accountants in carrying out their professional duties (Laela & Meikhati, 2009). There are ethical standards applied in the company, namely accountants play a role in providing information in the form of financial statements for stakeholders as a consideration for decision making (Thoyibatun, 2012). The Code of Ethics of the Indonesian Institute of Accountants aims to be a guideline and rule for all members, both covering the business of public accountants, in the business environment, in government institutions and in the education sector. This code of ethics contains standards of conduct as guidelines for all accountants and auditors. According (Sahla & Ardianto, 2022). This standard of behavior forms the basic principles in carrying out its practice and the obligation to carry out professional responsibilities wisely, responsibility, and honor is the duty of the accountant in applying this code of ethics the accountant pays attention to the applicable laws and regulations. This study aims to find out whether accounting ethics has a significant influence on the quality of financial statements (Jaijairam, 2017). The accounting ethics studied are in the form of integrity, objectivity, competence, confidentiality, and professional behavior. Manipulation of financial statements is a very big problem and has a severe impact on the quality of financial statements. Some well-known companies such as PT. Asuransi Jiwasraya, PT. Hanson International Tbk, PT. Garuda Indonesia, and so on, is proven to have carried out financial statement manipulation activities.
Business activities that are implemented with ethics will prevent the company from various violations committed by business people which result in disrupted business continuity (Donthu & Gustafsson, 2020). One form of violation that often occurs is fraud in the disclosure of the company's financial statements. Financial statements are a benchmark of the company's performance. Therefore, the company wants to display its financial statements well to maintain the trust of consumers. According to (Payne et al., 2019) Intentional financial fraud consists of manipulating transaction evidence and recording financial statements, identifying, accounting and reporting and disclosing transactions and deliberately eliminating a number of data, attachments, events and accounting information. Financial statements are prepared by the company's accountant with the aim of providing information to interested parties. According to (Ariail, Smith, & Smith, 2020). The information contained in this financial statement will be audited by a public accountant before being used by interested parties in making decisions. The important function of financial statements certainly demands good quality (Paseková, Kramná, Svitáková, & Dolejšová, 2019). The code of ethics of an accountant is also needed to produce actual financial reports and to detect fraudulent financial reporting, especially at PT Lintas Samudra Jaya.
