Abstract

This study explores the ethical perceptions of public accountants in Jakarta when facing client pressures, employing a qualitative phenomenological approach. Through in-depth interviews with licensed auditors from mid-sized and large accounting firms, the research identifies common ethical dilemmas, decision-making processes, and the influence of organizational and cultural factors. Findings reveal that auditors frequently encounter pressures to overlook discrepancies or adjust financial statements, leading to conflicts between professional ethics and client satisfaction. The study highlights the role of firm culture, time budget pressures, and individual values in shaping ethical behavior. Strategies such as adherence to ethical guidelines, client communication, and seeking guidance from superiors were noted as key to maintaining integrity. The research underscores the need for robust ethical frameworks and continuous training to support auditors in navigating ethical challenges effectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of profitability, institutional ownership, and dividend policy on the firm value of Indonesian companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Using a sample of companies from the manufacturing sector, the research examines how these financial variables influence the market value of firms. The study also explores the moderating role of tax planning and the relationship between dividend policies and firm profitability. The results indicate that profitability and institutional ownership have a significant positive effect on firm value, while dividend policy plays a crucial moderating role in enhancing firm value. Tax planning is also found to have a positive moderating effect on the relationship between profitability and firm value. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining a balance between profit distribution and retaining earnings for corporate growth. The study contributes to the broader understanding of corporate finance strategies, especially in emerging markets like Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms, firm size, and financial performance of manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Drawing upon agency theory and resource-based perspectives, this research examines how board size, the proportion of independent commissioners, and audit committee size influence financial performance, while also considering firm size as a key organizational characteristic. This study employs a quantitative explanatory design using secondary data obtained from annual reports of manufacturing companies over the 2019–2023 period. Panel data regression analysis is applied to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings indicate that corporate governance mechanisms significantly affect financial performance. Specifically, the proportion of independent commissioners and audit committee size show a positive and significant relationship with return on assets (ROA), suggesting that stronger monitoring mechanisms enhance financial outcomes. Firm size also demonstrates a significant positive effect on financial performance, implying that larger firms benefit from economies of scale and better access to resources. These results confirm the governance–performance nexus in an emerging market context. This study contributes to the corporate governance literature by providing recent empirical evidence from Indonesia and highlighting the importance of governance structure and firm characteristics in improving financial performance. The findings offer practical implications for regulators, investors, and corporate managers in strengthening governance practices to achieve sustainable financial performance.
