This study tries to find out 1) the effect of GCG on Earnings Management, 2) the effect of earning management on Company value, the Audit Report Lag, and Taxation, and 3) the effect of Audit Report Lag on Corporate Value and Taxation. This is a quantitative research with the data collected from the bank financial statements, GCG implementation report, and the banks’ annual reports of 2003-2013.
