Abstract

Audit switching, or the replacement of a public accounting firm by a company, plays a critical role in ensuring audit independence and the reliability of financial reporting. In the manufacturing sector, which significantly contributes to Indonesia’s GDP, audit quality is especially crucial due to the complexity and public exposure of operations. This study employs a purposive sampling method to select a sample of 85 manufacturing firms listed in Indonesia, observed over a three-year period from 2021 to 2023, resulting in a total of 255 observations. Using a quantitative approach, this research aims to address inconsistent findings in previous studies and fill existing gaps in the literature. The results reveal that audit fee, audit opinion, and public accounting firm (PAF) size do not significantly influence the likelihood of auditor switching, as these factors are often perceived as marginal or standardized by management. However, audit tenure shows a significant positive effect, suggesting that longer audit relationships may raise concerns regarding auditor independence and objectivity. Consequently, audit tenure emerges as a key determinant in auditor switching decisions, highlighting its role in maintaining the credibility and integrity of financial audits.

Abstract

Cluster analysis is a technique for grouping objects in a database based on their similar characteristics. The grouping results are said to be good if each cluster is homogeneous, and can be validated using the silhouette coefficient test. However, the presence of outliers in the data can affect the grouping results, so methods that are robust to outliers are used, such as K-Medoids and Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise. The purpose of this study is to compare the results and performance of the two methods using the silhouette coefficient test on data on human development indicators in South Sulawesi Province in 2021. The results of the analysis show that K-Medoids produced 2 groups, namely the districts/cities group which has indicators of human development that consist of 21 districts/cities, and the high group, which consists of 3 districts/cities, while Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise produces 1 group that has the same characteristics, which consists of 19 districts/cities, and the remaining 5 districts/cities are identified as noise. Based on the silhouette coefficient test, K-Medoids have a greater value than Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise, namely 0,635 and 0,544, respectively, so that K-Medoids have better performance.

Abstract

The Qibla direction constitutes a fundamental element in Islamic worship, particularly in the performance of prayer, as it is one of the essential conditions for its validity. However, the accuracy of the Qibla orientation in many mosques remains an issue that requires re-examination, including in Al-Muhajirin Mosque, Keerom, Papua. This study aims to analyze and reconstruct the Qibla orientation of the mosque by employing both astronomical and jurisprudential approaches. The falakiyyah approach involves field observation and measurement using Qibla-determining instruments such as the compass, theodolite, and Qibla applications. The fiqhiyyah analysis engages in a literature study of classical fiqh texts and relevant legal opinions (fatwas) concerning the importance of Qibla accuracy, complemented by interviews with local religious figures to capture communal perceptions of Qibla correction. The research adopts a field research design with a descriptive-qualitative approach, integrating both astronomical and juridical perspectives. The findings indicate a measurable deviation in the current Qibla orientation, necessitating correction to align with precise geographical coordinates. From a jurisprudential perspective, adjusting the Qibla becomes imperative in order to achieve the integrity of worship. Consequently, the reconstruction entails both positive and negative implications for the congregation of Al-Muhajirin Mosque.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of digital accounting system implementation, internal control effectiveness, and tax compliance on the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Karawang. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative data from 200 MSMEs across various sectors with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews. Quantitative analysis reveals significant positive relationships between the adoption of digital accounting systems, the effectiveness of internal controls, and tax compliance with the sustainability of MSMEs. Regression analysis further confirms these factors as significant predictors of business sustainability. Qualitative findings elucidate the challenges and benefits perceived by MSMEs, highlighting barriers such as high initial costs, complexity of technology adoption, and the burden of tax compliance. The study underscores the necessity of supportive policies and programs to enhance MSMEs' capacities in these areas, thereby promoting sustainable business practices and economic stability. This research contributes to the understanding of operational enhancements that drive MSME sustainability and offers actionable insights for stakeholders to foster an enabling environment for MSME growth.

Abstract

Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pengaruh kualitas audit terhadap pengungkapan karbon dengan asimetri informasi sebagai variabel mediasi, khususnya dalam sektor industri dasar kimia yang memiliki kontribusi signifikan terhadap emisi karbon. Menggunakan data dari 17 perusahaan sektor industri dasar kimia terdaftar selama periode 2018-2022, penelitian mengadopsi pendekatan kuantitatif dengan analisis data panel. Fokus utama penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi hubungan antara kualitas audit yang diproksikan dengan audit lag, audit tenure, dan ukuran Kantor Akuntan Publik (KAP) terhadap asimetri informasi, serta peran mediasi asimetri informasi dalam hubungan antara kualitas audit dan pengungkapan karbon. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa audit lag dan audit tenure tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap asimetri informasi, sedangkan ukuran KAP memiliki pengaruh signifikan. Asimetri informasi sendiri tidak terbukti memediasi hubungan antara kualitas audit dan pengungkapan karbon. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa ukuran KAP berkontribusi pada pengurangan asimetri informasi dan penguatan kualitas pengungkapan karbon, namun mekanisme mediasi melalui asimetri informasi tidak terbukti signifikan. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan penting tentang bagaimana kualitas audit dan ukuran KAP mempengaruhi transparansi lingkungan di sektor industri kimia, serta implikasi bagi praktik audit dan kebijakan pengungkapan karbon.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are vital to Indonesia’s economy but often struggle with financial management, including ineffective receivables recording, limited digital system usage, and basic financial reporting. This community service program aimed to strengthen the managerial and financial capacity of Djack Auto Car, a microenterprise in the automotive service sector, through training, system implementation guidance, and continuous evaluation. Key interventions included soft collection strategies, structured financial recording, and basic taxation, supported by practical modules, templates, and dashboards. Pre-test results showed limited knowledge, with average scores of 57.1 for soft collection and 60 for financial and taxation topics. Post-test results demonstrated substantial improvement, increasing to 82.1 and 83.2, respectively. Field observations indicated that the partner began applying systematic receivables management, conducting timely collections, preparing periodic financial reports, and practicing prudent credit risk management. The program enhanced operational efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and awareness of proper business reporting and tax obligations. Recommendations include sustaining and optimizing the implemented systems, conducting regular financial monitoring, offering advanced financial tools training, and fostering business networks to support long-term, sustainable growth.

Abstract

This study uses panel data regression with a sample size of 26 banks to investigate the impact that Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Interest Margin (NIM) have on the stock prices of banking businesses that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange throughout the period of 2019–2023. The results indicate that only ROE significantly influences stock prices, as it demonstrates the effectiveness of managing shareholders' equity in generating sustainable profits and acts as a crucial metric for investors evaluating a company's basic robustness and future potential. Conversely, ROA and NIM exhibited no substantial impact on stock prices, perhaps due to macroeconomic instability—exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic—which prompted investors to prioritize external factors in their risk and return assessments. The results indicate that in times of systemic uncertainty, internal financial indicators had limited predictive capability for stock valuation, with investment decisions increasingly influenced by overarching market dynamics and external economic considerations.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of tax avoidance, accounting conservatism, and business size affect firm value in Indonesia Stock Exchange-listed consumer non-cyclicals manufacturing from 2019 to 2023. Despite the sector's theoretical defensiveness, macroeconomic pressures and market sentiment volatility drove stock indices down, emphasizing the necessity to study corporate valuation issues. The study employs panel data regression analysis on a purposive sample of 36 companies to assess accounting conservatism through accrual-based metrics, tax avoidance via effective tax rates, and firm size using the natural logarithm of total assets, with firm value represented by price-to-book value (PBV). The findings demonstrate that accounting conservatism and tax avoidance do not significantly influence firm value, indicating that investors choose genuine profitability and growth over conservative reporting or tax techniques in this sector. Conversely, firm size positively influences firm value, likely due to larger firms’ greater operational efficiency, resource accessibility, and market reputation, despite the potential challenges of agency costs and management complexity. These findings provide valuable insights for investors and managers in consumer non-cyclicals manufacturing, emphasizing the importance of scale over accounting policies and tax avoidance in shaping market valuation under uncertain economic conditions.
