Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of client pressure on auditors’ professional judgment with moral injury as a mediating variable. The study uses a quantitative approach through a questionnaire survey distributed to 256 auditors working in Indonesian public accounting firms. The data are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the relationships among variables. The results show that client pressure has a positive effect on auditors’ moral injury. Furthermore, moral injury has a negative effect on auditors’ professional judgment. The findings also indicate that moral injury mediates the relationship between client pressure and professional judgment, suggesting that the impact of client pressure on audit decisions operates not only directly but also through auditors’ internal psychological mechanisms. This research introduces the concept of moral injury into the auditing context as a psychological mechanism explaining how client pressure can undermine the quality of auditors' professional judgment.

Abstract

Sustainable financing for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) has become an important strategy to support economic growth and sustainable development in Indonesia. However, limited studies examine how bank characteristics influence sustainable MSME financing. This study investigates the effects of financial integrity, bank reputation, and sustainability mechanisms on sustainable MSME financing by banks in Indonesia. This study employs a quantitative approach using panel data from 47 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2021–2024, resulting in 187 observations. Data were analyzed using fixed-effect regression and robustness testing with two-stage least squares (2SLS). The findings show that financial integrity, bank reputation, and sustainability mechanisms positively and significantly affect sustainable MSME financing. Sustainability mechanisms become the most dominant determinant, indicating that ESG-oriented governance strengthens banks’ capacity to distribute sustainable financing. The robustness test confirms that the results remain consistent after controlling for potential endogeneity problems. Theoretically, it integrates signaling theory into sustainable MSME financing by positioning banks as signal providers through financial integrity, reputation, and sustainability governance. Methodologically, it uses bank-level objective data from financial reports, annual reports, sustainability reports, and reputation indicators, rather than relying on MSMEs’ survey-based perceptions. Contextually, it highlights sustainability governance as a determinant of sustainable MSME financing in an emerging market where MSMEs play a central role in economic development. Therefore, this study advances the literature by showing that sustainable MSME financing is shaped not only by MSMEs’ characteristics or financing demand, but also by credible signals and governance mechanisms provided by banks.
