Abstract

In assessing financial information, auditors are required to be able to identify fraud to support the creation of transparency and accountability. Many recent financial statement fraud cases have demonstrated the auditor's failure to spot fraud. From many cases occurred and studies that have not yet provided a definite answer regarding the factors influencing an auditor's ability to detect fraud, this research paper was formed to examine the impact of professional scepticism, auditor competence, and red flags towards the auditor's ability to detect fraud as the dependent variable from the viewpoint of accounting students currently enrolled in college or have studied auditing through questionnaire. The sampling method conducted in this research is the non-parametric sampling method, specifically simple random sampling, which would then be processed using SPSS for descriptive statistics and PLS for model testing. The 197 questionnaires obtained and processed showed that each indicator was able to describe the variables used, the PLS model was able to provide pretty good predictions of the model, and each independent variable was able to provide a significant positive influence on its dependent variable. Therefore, in fraud detection, an auditor must always question the most minor thing in his findings, improve his ability to analyze the possibility of fraud occurring, and catch warning signs that often appear minor.

Abstract

Banking is one of the sectors that commonly attracts investors and is also one of the industries constantly scrutinized for the accuracy of its financial data, particularly profit. Profit helps investors determine whether the companies they are investing in will provide the necessary returns. Therefore, high-quality reported profit enables investors to make informed choices. Companies that understand that profit is a key component for investors often exploit information gaps between the firm and the investors, choosing to distort financial reports when times are tough. Thus, profit manipulation is closely tied to the principles of good corporate governance. Despite numerous cases and studies conducted, adequate information regarding the influence of good corporate governance on profit quality remains lacking. Therefore, further testing is necessary to examine the effect of good corporate governance—including managerial ownership, independent commissioners, audit committees, and the number of directors—as independent variables on profit quality, which serves as the dependent variable. The data was obtained from the financial statements of banking companies listed on the IDX from 2019 to 2023, using a non-probability sampling method specifically the purposive sampling technique. From the final dataset of 127 processed entries, it can be concluded that profit quality is influenced by the number of directors while managerial ownership, independent commissioners, and audit committees do not have an impact on profit quality.

Abstract

Companies frequently use earnings management to falsify financial figures in order to accomplish specific goals. Numerous financial and operational elements, such as tax evasion, profitability, leverage, and firm size, might have an impact on this activity. The purpose of this study is to look at how these factors affect profits management in consumer goods businesses that are not cyclical and are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2019 and 2023. The research employs a purposive non-probability sampling method, resulting in a final sample of 127 data from 31 companies. The associations between variables are examined applying multiple linear regression analysis. The findings reveal that corporate size and leverage significantly impact earnings management. This suggests that businesses with more debt are more likely to manipulate earnings, possibly in order to satisfy debt covenants or enhance their financial soundness in the eyes of creditors. Larger companies may also be more likely to strategically modify their earnings due to their greater resources and regulatory scrutiny. Profitability and tax evasion, however, have little bearing on profits management. This suggests that efficiency, not opportunistic earnings manipulation, is the main reason why company tax planning tactics are used. Likewise, highly profitable firms may not feel pressured to alter reported earnings, as their financial performance is already strong. These results provide valuable insights for regulators, investors, and policymakers in understanding corporate financial behavior and enhancing transparency in financial reporting.

Abstract

Taxpayers face a dilemma because taxes are an obligation and a burden, while the state is very dependent on them. This is based on a sense of injustice for those who do not pay taxes but still enjoy the same facilities. As a result, Indonesian taxpayers have begun to avoid taxes, which has caused the country to lose quite a large amount. In fact, not only do individual taxpayers avoid taxes, but corporate taxpayers also do so. This study uses earnings management and leverage variables as independent variables, political connection variables as moderating variables, and tax avoidance variables as dependent variables. This study focuses on taxpayers who are business entities or companies. Data was taken from the non-cyclical sector companies report of financial published on the IDX in 2020-2023. One hundred seventeen samples were used in this study. SPSS 25 is used as a sample processing tool, and the results obtained are that tax avoidance is significantly influenced by leverage, while earnings management does not have a significant effect on it. The results of this study also show that political connections cannot moderate the influence of the two independent variables on tax avoidance.

Abstract

This study aims to empirically analyze the effect of board size, board independence, profitability, and liquidity on dividend policy in non-cyclical segment companies published on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2021-2023. The research utilized 90 valid data points obtained from 30 non-cyclical companies as the research sample. The sampling method employed purposive sampling technique. Hypothesis testing was conducted using multiple linear regression, with data processing carried out using E-Views version 12 software. The appropriate model for this multiple linear regression analysis is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). This study uses Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) as a parameter to measure the company's dividend policy. The finding of the data processing indicate that board size and board independence have a crucial good influence on dividend policy, while profitability and liquidity do not have a crucial effect on dividend policy.
