Abstract

One of the important roles of management accountants, nowadays, is to provide input for managers in decision-making. The presentation order of the input and response modes used, either sequentially or simultaneously, can lead to order effects (either primacy or recency) that result in biased decision-making. Order effects in this study were analyzed using the Belief-Adjustment Model (Hogarth and Einhorn, 1992). Belief adjustment theory is applied as the main framework of this research and framing effects were added to get an explanation of the interactions and effect. This study aims to empirically examine the moderating effect of information framing on the belief revision process in the budget preparation. A laboratory experimental method was used in this study with a 2x2 between-subjects design and participants consisted of 108 accounts managers from a newspaper’s business group. The hypotheses were tested using Two-Way ANOVA and found the existence of the recency effect. The finding indicates that in the step-by-step (sequential) response mode, the occurrence of recency effects can be mitigated by information framing.
