Abstract

This research aims to understand the factors that influence the ups and downs of cocoa prices, their impact on farmers' welfare, and explore the role of sustainability accounting in strengthening the economic resilience of cocoa farmers. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores the experiences and adaptive strategies developed in dealing with price dynamics and maintaining sustainable plantation practices. The findings show that cocoa price volatility is influenced by imbalances between demand and supply, climate change, and global market volatility. These price fluctuations have an impact on the socio-economic conditions of farmers: when prices rise, farmers' incomes increase which allows the fulfillment of basic needs and sustainability investments; On the contrary, falling prices create economic pressures and a decrease in quality of life. The implementation of sustainability accounting has been proven to help farmers manage risks, as well as maintain sustainable plantation business practices amid market uncertainty. These findings are expected to contribute to the formulation of policies that are in favor of improving the welfare of cocoa farmers and strengthening sustainable plantation development.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the views of mine workers regarding environmental accounting using a phenomenological approach. The research was conducted at PT Sentral Labuan Tegar Mandiri, a C excavation mining company located in Labuan Main Village, Labuan District, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi. This study focuses on three main dimensions in the concept of the Triple Bottom Line, namely environmental, economic, and social aspects. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and direct observations in the field. The findings of the study show that although workers' technical knowledge related to environmental accounting is still limited, they show a high level of concern and awareness of the impact of mining activities, both on the environment and society. The workers understand the importance of waste management, environmental preservation through tree planting, and the role of companies in improving the economic and social conditions of local communities. In general, environmental accounting is understood as a form of corporate commitment to environmental sustainability, social welfare, and regional economic development.

Abstract

Decentralization in Indonesia over the past 50 years has undergone many changes and updates, reflecting the need to increase the role of local governments. This study analyzes the extent of the influence of accountability on investment in increasing regional independence in Indonesia. The study used data from 34 provinces (170 observations) using purposive sampling techniques. The results of the study show that better audit opinions increase regional investment opportunities, but audit opinions issued by BPK have a negative impact on regional independence. Meanwhile, investment has a positive effect on regional independence but does not mediate the relationship between accountability and regional independence. The implications of this study are closely related to efforts to encourage regional independence through increased investment, so that local governments need to increase accountability in financial management, as reflected in the audit opinion, in order to create a conducive investment climate.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the meaning of profit from the perspective of rice farmers in Kabalo Village, Kecamatan Tojo Barat, Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una, by considering economic, social, and spiritual aspects. Unlike previous studies that tend to define profit narrowly as financial or accounting outcomes, this research highlights the multidimensional interpretation of profit based on local wisdom. Using a qualitative descriptive design with a phenomenological approach, data were obtained through field observations, in-depth interviews with three landowning farmers, and documentation. The analysis followed phenomenological stages, namely reduction, imaginative variation, and meaning synthesis, complemented by triangulation and member checks to ensure data validity. The findings reveal that profit is understood in three main dimensions: as a reserve for basic needs, as future savings that ensure security, and as the fruit of patience in the farming process. This study contributes to behavioral accounting literature by demonstrating how rural communities integrate material and immaterial values in defining profit, while also offering insights into the role of local wisdom in shaping accounting concepts in the farming economy.

Abstract

Sustainability accounting has expanded beyond financial metrics to include environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions. However, conventional ESG reports typically dominated by numerical indicators and textual descriptions, often fail to capture the emotional, symbolic, and cultural aspects that shape stakeholder understanding and engagement. This study aimed to explore the role of photography as both a narrative and an evidentiary tool in ESG reporting. Using a qualitative visual ethnography approach, the research analysed original photographs taken in urban and community settings to represent dynamics related to ESG, such as human–nature relationships, informal governance, and collective social actions. The images were collected through field immersion and contextual observation. Findings suggested that photography can enrich ESG reporting by adding emotional depth and ethical meaning, thereby enhancing communication and stakeholder connection. This study advocates for photography as a valid and verifiable method to support more inclusive and engaging sustainability disclosures.
