Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises continue to face challenges in financial management, particularly in preparing systematic financial statements and fulfilling tax obligations. These limitations often result in poor financial information quality and hinder effective business decision-making and tax compliance. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of business owners in preparing financial statements as a basis for transparent and accountable tax reporting. The activity was conducted at Pelita Bangsa University on June 19, 2026, involving nine micro, small, and medium enterprise owners from Bekasi Regency. The program employed socialization, training sessions, hands-on financial statement preparation practices, tax reporting simulations, and mentoring in the use of simple financial recording technology. Evaluation was carried out through observation, interviews, and assessments conducted before and after the training. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants' understanding of transaction recording, financial statement preparation, and tax reporting procedures. Participants were also able to implement more structured financial recording practices and utilize simple technology to support business financial management. The program contributed positively to strengthening financial management capacity and increasing tax awareness among participants. Therefore, the training and mentoring activities can serve as an effective empowerment strategy to support more transparent, accountable, and sustainable business management practices.

Abstract

Company value is one of the main indicators reflecting a company's success in creating shareholder wealth. The decline in firm value in the automotive subsector is indicated by a downward trend in Price to Book Value (PBV), influenced by fluctuations in macroeconomic conditions, increasing production costs, and shifts in consumer preferences toward more efficient and environmentally friendly products. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of dividend policy and debt policy on firm value, with profitability as a moderating variable. The population consists of companies in the automotive and component subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2017–2024. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method, resulting in 7 companies observed over eight years, yielding a total of 56 observations. The data used are secondary data obtained from the companies’ financial statements available on the official website www.idx.co.id. The analytical method applied is panel-data regression with Moderated Regression Analysis using EViews 13. The results indicate that dividend policy has no significant effect on firm value, and profitability weakens the relationship between dividend policy and firm value. This suggests that dividends are not the primary indicator used by investors in evaluating company performance. Meanwhile, debt policy has a significant effect on firm value, and profitability strengthens the relationship between debt policy and firm value. This implies that companies with higher profitability are more capable of managing their financial obligations effectively, thereby increasing firm value.
