"The objective of this research is to examine maximum losses when investor invests on syariah based stock. Markowitz model is used for constructing the optimal portfolio. Value at Risk Model is also used for calculating the expected losses. The research indicates that volatility seems to cluster in a predictable fashion. Therefore the research forecasts variances used exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) model. This research also aims to evaluate whether the EWMA model can predict variances reasonably well. The data used in this research are syariah based stock which had been included in Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) during the year 2005-2006. This research provides that VAR models using an EWMAforecast are good enough for predicting risk. The number of exception of 508 daily datas are only less than 5% or valid at confident level 95%. As benchmark we also use historical method and monte carlo simulation to compare performance of EWMA forecast."

"ABSTRAKThe purpose of this study is to examine the information system (IS) success of the accounting software based on the user perception. The model used to examine the IS success is the modified IS success model of Seddon (1997). The model employed in this study is applied on data collected through 204 questionnaires distributed to the users of accounting software who work at the variety of companies in Indonesia.

The results of the study show that system qualitysignificantly affects the perceived usefulness and the user satisfaction. Furthermore,the results show that informqtion quality significantly ajjects the perceived usefulnessand user satisfaction. On the other hand, the study finds that user satisfaction doesnot affect the system use."

The hypothesis testing used in this thesis are t tesr and multiple regression models. The results show (1) earnings management is conducted through accruals but not through real activities manipulation and (2) earnings management affects stock performance 1 year after IPO.
