Abstract

Research aims: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted multiple industries, including chemistry, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, and healthcare. This study, thus, explores how these sectors managed their earnings concerning political factors during the pandemic. Since these sectors play a critical role in maintaining business stability during this period, the authors hypothesize that some companies within them may have manipulated their profits.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used quantitative methods to analyze a sample of companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, and healthcare sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2022. Out of 60 companies, 20 met the criteria. The authors then tested the political costs hypothesis using Kotari et al.'s (2005) calculation method and a discrimination test for discretionary accrual values.Research findings: The findings reveal that some companies practiced earnings management with varying degrees across sectors. Notably, not all companies employed revenue reduction as a manipulation tactic. Significant differences were observed between the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. It is worth highlighting that not all COVID-19 beneficiaries resorted to earnings management to access government incentives or facilities.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The findings of this research offer empirical evidence from both a theoretical standpoint and an analysis of the financial status of the involved companies.Practical/Policy Implication: This study aims to investigate if companies manipulated earnings during the COVID-19 pandemic by intentionally reducing their profits when their sectors were thriving due to the pandemic.Research Limitation: This research is limited by its use of quarterly data, incomplete data for some companies, and a reliance on existing data rather than current information collection.

Abstract

The implementation of sectoral e-catalogs is a crucial part of government procurement reform, aiming to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency. However, its effectiveness still encounters several challenges in practice. Understanding the influencing factors is essential for optimizing the system.. This study adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method. The respondents are employees of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing who are directly involved in the management and use of sectoral e-catalogs. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the STOPE (Strategy, Technology, Organization, People, Environment) framework as the theoretical basis. The findings reveal that strategic, technological, organizational, and people-related factors have a positive and significant effect on the effectiveness of sectoral e-catalog implementation. In contrast, environmental factors did not show a significant impact. The results highlight the importance of strengthening internal capacity and alignment across strategic, technological, organizational, and human resource dimensions to improve e-catalog performance. These insights are valuable for developing more adaptive and responsive electronic procurement policies in the public sector.

Abstract

Whistleblowing is an effective mechanism for addressing fraud when its members actively participate. This study examines the impact of fraud awareness, anonymous reporting, and accessibility on whistleblowing intentions in government institutions. Using a quantitative approach, primary data were collected via questionnaires administered to civil servants at the Financial and Development Supervisory Board (BPKP) of the Republic of Indonesia. The final dataset comprised 396 respondents across 33 work units and was analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0. The findings revealed that higher fraud awareness, greater access to whistleblowing channels, and anonymous reporting mechanisms significantly correlate with increased whistleblowing intentions. Theoretically, this study expands existing literature by validating the theory of planned behavior, particularly its constructs of attitude toward behavior and perceived behavioral control. Additionally, it further supports the principles outlined in the Prosocial Behavior Theory. Practically, the results provide valuable insights for policy formulation aimed at enhancing whistleblowing participation. This includes strategies to raise fraud awareness through socialization, strengthen policies ensuring the quality of anonymous reporting mechanisms, and support organizational accessibility to whistleblowing channels. Moreover, this study introduces a novel perspective by incorporating accessibility as a key dimension in whistleblowing intention research, addressing a gap in previous studies.

Abstract

The relationship between CSR disclosure and financial performance remains contentious, particularly in emerging market resource sectors. This study examined the bidirectional relationship between CSR disclosure and profitability in Indonesian oil and gas mining companies from 2012 to 2019 using panel data regression on nine listed firms, yielding 69 observations. CSR disclosure was measured using GRI-G4 indicators, while profitability was assessed through ROA, ROE, NPM, and EPS, with firm size and leverage as controls. The analysis revealed significant reciprocal relationships with contrasting patterns. ROA and NPM showed negative bidirectional relationships with CSR disclosure, suggesting trade-offs between operational efficiency and social transparency. Conversely, ROE and EPS demonstrated positive reciprocal relationships, indicating CSR alignment with shareholder returns. These findings suggest companies should view CSR as a strategic investment, while regulators need stronger frameworks to promote synergy between financial sustainability and responsible disclosure.

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of carbon emissions on earnings quality, examining how gender diversity on corporate boards moderate this relationship. Using panel data regression with Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), the study investigates companies from high-carbon sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2021–2023). Results indicate carbon emissions do not have a significant impact on earnings quality overall. In regions with high ethical standards, higher carbon emissions reduce earnings quality due to greater earnings management and the rebound effect. In low-ethics regions, higher carbon emissions are linked to better earnings quality, likely from real business growth. Board gender diversity does not significantly moderate this relationship. The study recommends policymakers for improving financial reporting quality and advancing environmental responsibility by considering the ethical and social context of each region.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of professionalism, independence, work motivation, and self-efficacy on auditor performance, with organizational culture as a moderating variable. Grounded in attribution theory, which explains behavior through internal and external factors, the research focuses on auditors from Indonesia’s Big Ten public accounting firms. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed via purposive sampling to 202 respondents. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings of this study revealed that independence, work motivation, and self-efficacy positively influenced auditor performance, while professionalism had no effect. Additionally, organizational culture only moderated the relationship between motivation and performance, but not for professionalism, independence, or self-efficacy. The study offers theoretical, practical, and policy implications. Theoretically, it supports attribution theory by confirming that internal factors such as motivation, self-efficacy, and independence influence auditor performance, with their effects shaped by organizational culture. The limited impact of professionalism suggests a need for structural support to actualize professional values. Practically, audit firms should strengthen these competencies through mentoring, training, and ethical safeguards, supported by a collaborative culture. At the policy level, Indonesia Chartered Accountants and Indonesian Institute of Certified Public Accountants are encouraged to embed behavioral competencies into certification and promote culture-based performance systems in public accounting firms.

Abstract

Perlakuan akuntansi biaya eksplorasi dan evaluasi diatur dalam PSAK No. 64 yang baru berlaku efektif di Indonesia pada 1 Januari 2012. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan dan mengevaluasi implementasi PSAK No. 64 (2011) tentang Aktivitas Eksplorasi dan Evaluasi pada Pertambangan Sumber Daya Mineral di PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk. Untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang mendalam atas implementasi PSAK No. 64, maka penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan  studi kasus sebagai pendekatan penelitian. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara dan dokumentasi. Setelah dilakukan analisis terhadap hasil wawancara dan penelusuran terhadap dokumen perusahaan berupa mutasi Asset Under Construction, penilaian biaya geologi dan geofisika, dan jurnal reklasifikasi biaya pengeboran, diketahui bahwa PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk belum sepenuhnya menerapkan PSAK No. 64 dengan baik. Perlakuan akuntansi terhadap biaya eksplorasi dan evaluasi yang belum sesuai dengan PSAK No. 64 yaitu mengenai pengakuan biaya overhead eksplorasi, penurunan nilai yang dilakukan pada salah satu blok yang akan dijual, serta penyajian aset eksplorasi dan evaluasi dalam laporan posisi keuangan yang tidak diklasifikasikan berdasarkan sifatnya. Rekomendasi yang bisa diberikan bagi perusahaan adalah (1) sebaiknya perusahaan mulai mengklasifikasikan  aset eksplorasi dan evaluasi berdasarkan jenis biaya yang dikeluarkan pada masing-masing blok agar biaya dapat diklasifikasikan berdasarkan sifatnya (2) membuat metode pengalokasian biaya overhead eksplorasi. Di luar hal-hal yang telah disebutkan sebelumnya, perlakuan akuntansi atas biaya eksplorasi dan evaluasi di PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk telah sesuai dengan PSAK No. 64. Kata kunci: aktivitas eksplorasi dan evaluasi, biaya eksplorasi dan evaluasi, perlakuan akuntansi.
