The study utilizes from company annual reports were analyzed using logistic regression.Findings – The results show that the business education of the audit committee chairman has a positive effect on the choice of Big 4 auditors. Meanwhile, other characteristics such as gender, professional qualifications, work experience, and tenure of the audit committee chairman do not affect the choice of Big 4 auditors. Therefore, the results of this study indicate that the business education of the audit committee chairman is the most influential factor in the choice of Big 4 auditorsOriginality/value – Previous studies have overlooked the role of audit committee chairs, focusing instead on audit committees in general. As audit committee leadership matters more, research examining the impact of audit committee chair characteristics on auditor choice remains limited. This study provides contributions to the existing literature by offering a novel perspective on the role of audit committee chairs as corporate governance representatives in auditor choice decisions within emerging market.Research limitations/implications – Research on the impact of audit committee chair characteristics remains limited. Furthermore, this study also has several limitations, such as the measurement of auditor choice, which is only measured by Big 4 and Non-Big 4 audit firms, thereby limiting its ability to provide insight into auditor choice. Additionally, the measurement of gender is limited to physical appearance or individual gender, without considering and understanding the complexity of values and characteristics of femininity and masculinity. The results of this study provide a significant contribution to the existing literature on the impact of audit committee chair characteristics on auditor choice.

Abstract

Abstract Purpose –This study examines the impact of financial education, inflation, and per capita expenditure on the intermediation function of Rural Banks (BPR) in Indonesia, focusing on deposit mobilization and credit distribution across all provinces in 2024. The research is grounded in the accounting and financial management perspective, recognizing that intermediation outcomes are not only reflective of market behavior but also integral to financial reporting, institutional performance measurement, and regional economic accountability. Disparities in financial literacy and regional economic indicators have implications for the effectiveness of BPRs, which serve as key financial intermediaries for local communities and MSMEs.   Design/methodology/approach –Using cross-sectional data from 34 provinces in Indonesia in 2024, this research applies Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess the relationships between financial literacy, macroeconomic indicators, and BPR intermediation performance. Findings –This study identifies that financial education significantly influences deposit mobilization, indicating its role in shaping public trust and engagement in financial institutions. However, it does not significantly affect credit distribution. Inflation shows no effect on deposit mobilization but significantly impacts credit allocation, suggesting sensitivity in credit risk assessments and lending decisions. Per capita expenditure also demonstrates a significant effect on credit distribution, highlighting the relevance of consumption-based financial behavior in credit demand forecasting. Originality/value –  From an accounting standpoint, these findings underscore the importance of integrating non-financial indicators such as education and macroeconomic variables into performance evaluation frameworks for BPRs. Strengthening financial education initiatives could improve deposit liabilities reported in BPR financial statements, while inflation and consumption trends should be factored into provisioning and credit risk disclosures. The results have practical implications for regulatory bodies, financial educators, and BPR management in aligning financial intermediation strategies with sound accounting practices and sustainable local economic development Research limitations/implications –The use of cross-sectional data limits the ability to capture temporal dynamics. Future research should consider panel data and additional macroeconomic or seasonal factors to enrich the analysisKeywords: financial literacy, inflation, rural banks, credit distribution, deposit mobilization

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to examine and provide empirical evidence regarding the influence of corporate political connections and family ownership on audit quality with return on assets, leverage, and public accounting firm size as control variables.Design/methodology/approach – This study uses a quantitative approach. The population in this study includes SOEs and conglomerate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2021-2023. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling method. The analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis.Findings – The results of this study found that corporate political connections and family ownership have no significant effect on audit quality. Audit quality is influenced by the control variable, public accounting firm size.Originality/value – This study contributes to the audit quality literature in several ways. First, research that explores the variables of political connections and family ownership in the context of audit quality is still limited. Second, previous studies regarding the influence of political connections and family ownership on audit quality in Indonesia used input-based measurements, such as auditor choice as a proxy for audit quality. In this study, the audit quality measurement used is output-based, which is based on financial reporting quality measured using earnings quality (discretionary accruals) which is more relevant to be applied in Indonesia, considering that Indonesia is a country with a high level of opacity of corporate earnings. Third, previous studies use dummy variables to indicate whether a company has political connections, so the variation in the strength of connections is less revealed. In this study, political connections are measured using an index score of political connections with various levels of positions in the bureaucracy.Research limitations/implications – This research was only conducted on SOEs and conglomerate companies listed on the IDX; therefore, the research results cannot be generalized to other sectors/types of companies. The period in this study is still relatively short, which is only limited to a span of 3 years from 2021-2023. Future research can expand the research sample size, including all companies listed on the IDX, and extend the observation period to obtain more comprehensive results.Keywords: Corporate Political Connections, Family Ownership, Audit QualityArticle Type: Research Paper
