Abstract

An audit is a systematic, independent examination of financial statements, accounting records, and supporting documents prepared by management, the purpose of which is to form an opinion on the accuracy of financial statements. Financial statements must have relevant characteristics (reliability) and reliability (reliability). Without the services of auditors, management cannot convince outsiders that the financial statements presented by management contain reliable and reliable information. Independence is the auditor's attitude to impartiality. The experience of the examiner contributes to high-quality inspection. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of auditor behavior, time pressure, audit experience, and independence on audit quality. The research was conducted at a Public Accounting Firm (KAP) in Medan City. The number of research samples of 80 people was selected by the nonprobability sampling method. Data collection was carried out by questionnaire through Google form and literature studies that supported this study. The method used in this study is to use the Structural Equation Model (SEM) equation using the Partial Least Square (PLS) tool version 3.0. PLS consists of external relationships (outer model) and internal relationships (inner model), cross-loading> 0.7, Composite Reliability, Convergent Validity, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the first, second, fourth, and seventh hypotheses were rejected where each variable such as auditor behavior, and time pressure, did not affect audit quality and independence could not moderate the influence between auditor behavior on audit quality, independence could not moderate audit quality. The third, fifth, and sixth hypotheses are accepted where each variable such as audit experience, independence moderates the effect of time pressure on audit quality, and independence moderates the effect of audit experience on audit quality.

This research uses a quantitative research method. The population in this study consists of all property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, totaling 92 companies. The sample in this study comprises 18 companies with 108 observations during the research period. The data used are secondary, obtained from published company financial statements.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the fraud pentagon, proxied by financial targets, financial stability, ineffective monitoring, auditor changes, changes in directors, and the frequency of CEO photos, on financial statement fraud, and to examine the moderating role of firm size. The population consists of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2021 to 2024. Using purposive sampling, a sample of 130 companies was obtained, totaling 520 observations. Financial statement fraud was measured using the Fraud Score Model (F-Score). Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the Common Effect Model (CEM) approach via EViews 12. The results show that financial targets have a positive and significant effect on financial statement fraud. Conversely, financial stability, ineffective monitoring, auditor changes, changes in directors, and the frequency of CEO photos have no significant effect. Simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence financial statement fraud. Furthermore, firm size does not moderate any of these relationships. These findings indicate that the pressure to achieve financial targets is the main driver of financial statement fraud in manufacturing companies

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of leverage, profitability, firm size, audit quality, and tax avoidance on the Propensity earnings management, with independent commissioners as a moderating variable in mining sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. This research employs a quantitative approach using a census method, in which all mining companies listed on the IDX during the study period, totaling 54 firms, were included as the research sample. The data were analyzed using panel data regression with the Random Effect Model (REM), which was selected based on the Chow test and the Hausman test. The earnings management was measured using discretionary accruals based on the Kasznik (1999) model, which represents the degree of a firm’s tendency to engage/Propensity in earnings management practices. The results indicate that leverage and tax avoidance have a positive effect on Propensity earnings management, suggesting an increase in the propensity (tendency) of management to engage in earnings management practices. Conversely, profitability, firm size, and audit quality have a negative effect on Propensity earnings management, indicating that firms with better financial performance and stronger monitoring mechanisms tend to exhibit a lower of Propensity earnings management. Furthermore, independent commissioners are found to weaken the relationship between leverage, profitability, firm size, audit quality, and Propensity earnings management; however, they do not moderate the relationship between tax avoidance and Propensity earnings management. This study confirms that financial factors and corporate governance mechanisms play an important role in influencing earnings management practices in the mining sector. The presence of independent commissioners is proven to be an effective monitoring mechanism in reducing the Propensity earnings management, except in the context of tax avoidance practices. These findings provide important implications for investors, regulators, and management in evaluating the quality of financial reporting and the effectiveness of good corporate governance.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of digital information technology, digital marketing, and human resource capacity on SME performance in North Sumatera. Although numerous prior studies have examined these variables separately, a significant gap persists regarding their synergistic effects, especially among SMEs in developing regions. To address this gap, the present study developed an integrated model using an explanatory research design. Data were collected through a survey of 232 SMEs that actively adopt digital technology in North Sumatra Province, representing a targeted sample of digitally active small and medium enterprises in a developing region. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) due to its suitability for examining complex relationships in a predictive, non parametric manner with relatively small sample sizes. The results indicate that all three variables exert positive and significant effects on SME performance, with digital marketing emerging as the strongest predictor. These findings underscore the importance of resource integration in enhancing SME competitiveness in emerging economies.
