Abstract

This study investigates the adoption of DANA as a primary digital payment platform among accounting students at Tadulako University. The primary objective is to analyze how Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use determine student acceptance of financial technology using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework. The research method employs a descriptive qualitative approach designed to explore a deep understanding of user behavior. Data were gathered through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with informants selected via purposive sampling, specifically active students who are regular users of the DANA application. The data analysis process included stages of data reduction, systematic data display, and verification to ensure the validity of findings regarding students' transactional experiences. The results reveal that students attribute high functional value to the platform due to accelerated transaction processing, time optimization, and enhanced security features. Additionally, the streamlined registration process and minimalistic interface significantly reduce technical barriers for novice users. This study concludes that the perceived simplicity of the interface acts as a catalyst that reinforces the perceived functional benefits, ultimately driving widespread adoption of DANA for cashless transactions within the academic environment in accordance with TAM postulates.

The sampling technique used in this study is saturated sampling, with respondents comprising all financial managers in all OPDs in Palu City, totaling 82 respondents. The analysis techniques used in this study are classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis tests, specifically the simultaneous test (F) and partial test (t). The results of this study indicate that human resource competence, accounting understanding, and the application of government accounting standards have a significant simultaneous effect on the quality of local government financial reports. Human resource competence has a significant partial effect on the quality of local government financial reports.

Abstract

This study investigates how far accounting knowledge, business experience, business mentoring influence the use of accounting information MSMEs in Palu City. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method, in which data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to respondents. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques to examine the relationships between variables. The research subjects consist of 35 Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) operating in Palu City, which were selected based on purposive sampling criteria to ensure their relevance to the research objectives. Furthermore, data processing and statistical analysis were carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics version 27. The study shows that accounting knowledge positively and significantly contributes to the use of accounting information, indicating that a stronger understanding of accounting concepts encourages MSME actors to utilize financial data more effectively. In contrast, prior entrepreneurial business experience does not show a significant influence, suggesting that business longevity does not necessarily translate into better use of accounting information without adequate financial literacy. Meanwhile, business mentoring demonstrates a significant, revealing the essential role of external support in fostering better financial practices. These findings imply that efforts to enhance accounting information is used by MSMEs should focus on strengthening accounting knowledge and providing continuous business mentoring.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of profitability in mediating the effects of stock price, liquidity, and asset growth on firm value in the healthcare subsector of the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2021-2024. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 67 annual reports from 17 companies. Data analysis included descriptive statistic, classical assumption test, and path analysis using SPSS 25. The results indicate that stock price has a significant effect on profitability but does not directly affect firm value. Liquidity has a significant effect on both profitability and firm value. Conversely, asset growth does not affect either profitability or firm value. Profitability mediates the effects of stock price and liquidity on firm value but does not mediate the relationship between asset growth and firm value. these findings indicate that profitability acts as an important mediating variable in the relationship between stock price and liquidity. This study is expected to serve as a reference for companies and investors in making more accurate and strategic decisions, particularly in optimizing financial performance to enhance firm value.
