Abstract

The development of the digital economy has given rise to the phenomenon of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), which is popular among students but poses risks of consumptive behavior and unhealthy debt management due to low financial literacy and cultural awareness. This study aims to develop and test the Intercultural Financial Literacy (IFL) model as a new construct that combines financial literacy and cross-cultural awareness in explaining Pay Later usage behavior among students in West Sumatra. Using an explanatory quantitative approach with 300 respondents and Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis, the results show that IFL significantly influences financial attitudes and risk perceptions, which indirectly affect Pay Later behavior, while cultural orientation positively moderates this relationship. The research model explains 61.1% of the variation in digital financial behavior (R²=0.611) with good construct validity and reliability. These findings confirm that cross-cultural financial literacy is an important competency for the younger generation to shape ethical, responsible, and sustainable financial behavior in the pay later economy era.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) on income smoothing and to analyze the moderating role of cash holding in the relationship between GCG and income smoothing practices among manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2012–2023 period. The study employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The sample consists of 390 firm-year observations selected through purposive sampling. The variables analyzed include income smoothing as the dependent variable, Good Corporate Governance as the independent variable, cash holding as the moderating variable, and profitability (ROA) and leverage (DER) as control variables. The results indicate that Good Corporate Governance negatively and significantly affects income smoothing, suggesting that stronger governance mechanisms improve monitoring effectiveness and reduce managerial opportunism in financial reporting. Cash holding positively and significantly affects income smoothing, indicating that firms with higher liquidity levels tend to engage more in earnings smoothing practices. Furthermore, cash holding significantly moderates the relationship between Good Corporate Governance and income smoothing, implying that liquidity conditions influence the effectiveness of governance mechanisms in constraining managerial opportunism. This study contributes to agency theory by demonstrating that governance effectiveness in reducing income smoothing depends not only on governance quality but also on firms’ liquidity conditions. The findings provide practical implications for investors, regulators, and corporate management regarding the importance of governance quality and liquidity management in maintaining financial reporting credibility.

Abstract

Fishing communities frequently face financial instability caused by fluctuating income cycles that are highly dependent on natural conditions and fishing seasons. The core problem is not the absence of income, but the lack of understanding and skill in managing cash flow, the absence of separation between business capital and household finances, and heavy reliance on informal moneylenders during the off-season (masa paceklik). This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to provide practical financial-management education and training for the Balik Saiyo Fishing Group in Kelurahan Teluk Kabung Tengah, Bungus Teluk Kabung, Padang City. The activity involved 40 participants, consisting of 15 lecturers as facilitators and 25 members of the fishing community and coastal families as the main target group. The method combined interactive socialization, training in simple daily cash recording, and the introduction of an income-allocation pattern together with an emergency-fund strategy. Program success was assessed qualitatively through facilitator observation and participant feedback during practice and discussion sessions. The results show an improved understanding among participants in separating working capital from consumption needs, in applying a 40%-30%-20%-10% cash-allocation scheme, and in building the habit of saving to face the off-season.
