Abstract

This study investigates the influence of tax avoidance and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance on real earnings management while examining the moderating roles of carbon tax exposure and ESG Leader status. Unlike accrual-based earnings management, real earnings management is more difficult to identify and may cause persistent distortions in firms' operational decisions, making it a critical focus of this study. This study employs a quantitative research design using secondary data derived from the annual financial statements and sustainability reports of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research sample comprises 45 firms with the highest ESG ratings included in the IDX Kehati Index over the 2022–2024 period. The data were analyzed using linear regression with moderation testing. The empirical findings reveal that tax avoidance has a negative and significant effect on real earnings management, indicating that firms engaging in higher tax avoidance tend to exercise greater caution in manipulating real activities, possibly because of heightened regulatory oversight. In contrast, ESG performance does not exhibit a significant relationship with earnings management, suggesting that ESG implementation among Indonesian public companies may remain symbolic rather than substantively embedded in accounting and operational policies. Carbon tax exposure significantly moderates the relationship between tax avoidance and earnings management by reversing the relationship in a positive direction, implying that increased cost pressures from carbon regulation encourage firms to intensify earnings management as a strategic response. However, the carbon tax does not moderate the association between ESG performance and earnings management, indicating a lack of integration between sustainability initiatives and regulatory mechanisms. Furthermore, ESG Leader status does not moderate the effects of tax avoidance or ESG performance on earnings management.

Abstract

Abstract Purpose: Environmental concern can enhance a company’s competitive advantage and reputation, influencing investor assessments. In Indonesia, rising carbon emissions and stakeholder pressure encourage firms to adopt green innovation and carbon strategies to reduce environmental impact, increase corporate value, and affect market reactions. Methodology/approach: This study is quantitative, and purpose to analyze the factors that influence cumulative abnormal return (CAR). The independent variables are green innovation, green strategy, and carbon strategy, while firm size and profitability are used as control variables. Secondary Data were collected from IDX-listed energy, automotive, and transportation companies during 2021–2024. The sample was selected using purposive sampling and analyzed using multiple linear regression via SPSS 30. Findings: The results indicate that green innovation has influence on CAR, green innovation is able to create a high level of competitiveness for firms through productivity optimization and cost efficiency. Likewise, green strategy does not influence on CAR, because investors do not yet fully value or understand it as a source of long-term financial value. In contrast, carbon strategy positively influences CAR, companies proactively implementing carbon strategy are viewed as better prepared for future carbon emissions regulation and, more capable of managing environmental risk. Practical implications: Sustainability requires significant investment in human and financial resources, with benefits that are indirect and often only visible in the long term. Originality/Value: The government as a regulator needs to require public companies in Indonesia to implement sustainability strategies to support sustainable development.

Abstract

The high increase in the number of young investors in the Indonesian capital market encourages the need to conduct research regarding what investors or potential investors consider when making decisions. Previous research shows the need to use primary data that not only includes rational and irrational factors, but also considers accounting information, both internal and published to external parties. The current research aims to prove whether financial slack and voluntary reporting will support stock investment decisions made by young investors. An experimental research witH2x2between-subjects design is conducted to provide empirical support regarding the usefulness of internal and external information in stock investment decisions. The sample was 93 undergraduate students majoring in Accounting who had at least taken or were currently taking courses related to Stock Investment. Some of them are regular visitors to the Investment Clinic from the Business Faculty in Surabaya. Sixty-three data from participants who successfully answered the manipulation check questions were processed to answer the research hypothesis. The statistical tool analysis of variance is used to test the hypothesis. Research findings show that financial slack was not influencing stock investment decisions, while voluntary reporting in the form of Sustainability Reporting is proven to influence stock investment decisions of young participants. Another result is the interaction effect of financial slack and voluntary reporting on stock investment decisions, which shows the importance of disclosure about the use of slack resources because it will influence investor decisions
