Abstract

This study explores the influence of working capital efficiency on profitability, emphasizing the moderating role of sales growth. Utilizing panel data from publicly listed companies in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018-2021 period, the research employs multiple linear regression analysis to assess the direct impact of working capital efficiency, measured by the Working capital efficiency, on profitability, measured by Return on Assets (ROA). The analysis further incorporates sales growth as a moderating variable to evaluate its interaction with working capital efficiency. The findings confirm a positive relationship between working capital efficiency and profitability, underscoring the importance of optimizing current asset and liability management. Additionally, the results demonstrate that sales growth significantly moderates this relationship, amplifying the positive impact of working capital efficiency on profitability. Firms experiencing robust sales growth benefit more from efficient working capital practices, as higher revenues enhance liquidity and resource utilization. Conversely, firms with stagnant or declining sales face limitations in leveraging the benefits of working capital optimization. This research contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the dynamic interplay between working capital efficiency and sales growth, offering a nuanced perspective on profitability determinants. The findings provide actionable insights for managers, suggesting a dual-focus strategy of enhancing working capital efficiency and fostering sales growth to maximize financial performance. Future studies could expand on this framework by exploring additional moderating variables, sector-specific dynamics, and long-term implications in diverse economic contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of transfer pricing and bonus mechanisms on tax avoidance. It tests profitability as a moderating variable in multinational companies. Grounded in Stewardship Theory, the research explores whether managerial incentives and corporate profitability influence firms’ tax behavior. It emphasizes the balance between financial performance and ethical tax practices. A quantitative approach was used with secondary data from the financial reports of industrial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020–2022. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, consisting of 21 companies. Panel data regression analysis was conducted using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method, supported by Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier (LM) tests to determine the most appropriate model. The results show that both transfer pricing and bonus mechanisms have a significant positive effect on tax avoidance. This indicates that multinational firms use intra-group transactions and performance-based incentives to minimize tax burdens. However, profitability does not significantly moderate these relationships. This suggests that firm performance alone does not weaken or strengthen the impact of transfer pricing and bonus mechanisms on tax avoidance. These findings contribute to the literature on corporate governance and tax planning by providing empirical evidence on the interplay between managerial incentives, profitability, and ethical financial behavior. The research offers valuable implications for policymakers and companies in developing responsible compensation systems and regulatory frameworks to curb aggressive tax practices.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of the board of directors and independent commissioners on corporate tax aggressiveness, with gender diversity considered as a moderating variable. The research aims to determine whether board structure affects corporate tax strategies and whether the presence of female board members strengthens or weakens these relationships. A quantitative approach is employed using panel data regression analysis based on a sample of publicly listed companies. Data are collected from corporate financial reports and governance disclosures. Several model selection procedures are applied to identify the most appropriate regression model, followed by hypothesis testing using panel data estimation techniques. The findings indicate that the board of directors does not have a significant effect on tax aggressiveness, suggesting that board size alone does not determine corporate tax planning decisions. In contrast, independent commissioners show a significant positive effect on tax aggressiveness, implying that their presence may be associated with more aggressive tax strategies rather than stronger oversight. Furthermore, gender diversity does not moderate the relationship between either the board of directors or independent commissioners and tax aggressiveness, indicating that female representation on the board does not significantly influence corporate tax behavior. These results suggest that regulatory bodies need to strengthen governance mechanisms to ensure that independent commissioners effectively perform their monitoring role. Companies are encouraged to emphasize board competence and expertise rather than relying solely on structural characteristics such as size or gender composition. Greater transparency in corporate tax practices is also recommended for investors and stakeholders. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the limited role of board size and gender diversity in tax decision-making, while indicating that independent commissioners may not always function as effective governance mechanisms in reducing tax aggressiveness.
