Abstract

This study aims to explore the development and influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on audit quality through a comprehensive empirical literature review. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, the study systematically analyzes 325 peer-reviewed articles published in Scopus-indexed journals between 2010 and 2025. The selection was based on the keyword “Artificial Intelligence on Audit Quality” and focused exclusively on finalized, English-language scientific journal articles. The findings reveal a significant rise in scholarly interest in AI applications in auditing, particularly over the past five years, with AI being applied to enhance fraud detection, real-time data analysis, and risk assessment. However, the results also highlight substantial gaps, including limited auditor readiness, ethical and regulatory concerns, and uneven research distribution across regions and institutions. The conclusions emphasize that while AI holds transformative potential for auditing, its optimal impact requires integration with human expertise, ethical frameworks, and regulatory oversight. The study’s implications suggest that future research should prioritize explainable AI, interdisciplinary collaboration, and broader global participation to ensure equitable and effective adoption. Overall, this review provides critical insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on aligning AI innovations with the strategic and ethical demands of modern auditing to improve audit quality and public trust in financial reporting

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of product innovation and strategic collaboration in enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs in the online food delivery business around STIE Ganesha. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 25 SME actors selected based on criteria such as minimal technology usage (e.g., WhatsApp Business) and experience collaborating with other SMEs. The findings reveal that menu innovation based on local trends, inter-SME collaboration for logistical efficiency (e.g., shared delivery fleets), and the use of simple technologies like WhatsApp broadcast lists significantly enhance business visibility and customer loyalty. Key challenges include limited access to technology training and reliance on third-party platforms, which impact profit margins. This study recommends developing a collaborative ecosystem involving academia, government, and business actors to strengthen SME capacity through locally tailored business incubation programs and technical mentoring

This study conducts a literature review with the aim of identifying the factors that affect the cost of capital for a company. The study shows that profitability, liquidity, tax, growth, size, and age of the company are some of the major determinants that affect the cost of capital of the company. The study further shows a positive correlation between the cost of capital and profitability, liquidity, growth, size, and age of the company.

Abstract

The punctuality of financial reporting plays a crucial role for stakeholders in making well-informed and timely decisions, particularly for publicly traded companies. This research investigates the influence of tax avoidance and profitability on financial reporting timeliness, and explores whether operational complexity acts as a moderating factor in the relationship between tax avoidance and timely reporting. The study focuses on manufacturing firms within the basic and chemical industry sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2021 to 2023. Employing a quantitative associative method and utilizing secondary data, the analysis was conducted through logistic regression. The findings indicate that both tax avoidance and profitability exert a significant and positive impact on financial reporting timeliness. In contrast, the complexity of a company’s operations does not significantly influence the link between tax avoidance and timely reporting.

Abstract

Globalization has an impact on the development of international trade, which can increase market share. In addition, in foreign exchange trading, currency is not just a transaction tool but also a commodity traded in the foreign exchange market. The study aims to analyze arbitrage and interest rate parity on its implications for foreign exchange investors and speculators. Secondary data used in the study were obtained from books, national and international edited journals, news, and working papers conducted by a literature review. It is found that unstable economic conditions, increased inflation, and speculators can increase the volatility of exchange rate imbalances in the foreign exchange market. exchange rate differences can be utilized by arbitrageurs and will naturally move towards efficiency. However, the enactment of purchasing power parity implies indifferent behavior to invest domestically or internationally because the returns obtained are not greater than domestic. In addition to maintaining foreign exchange stability, intervention policies are needed through controlled floating exchange rates, interest rate policies, maintaining liquidity and capital flows carried out by monetary authorities and central banks, as well as reducing import dependence and increasing exports

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and assess the impact of mudharabah, musyarakah, and murabahah financing on the profitability of Islamic Commercial Banks (ICBs) in Indonesia, both individually (partially) and collectively (simultaneously). The research focuses on Islamic Commercial Banks registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) during 2019–2021. Using linear regression analysis, a quantitative research approach is employed to investigate the influence of mudharabah, musyarakah, and murabahah financing on profitability. The sampling technique used in this study is purposive sampling. At the same time, the dataset consists of secondary data in the form of quarterly financial reports obtained from the official websites of Islamic Commercial Banks for the 2019–2021 period. The analytical methods applied include multiple regression analysis, classical assumption testing, and hypothesis testing. The findings indicate that the independent variables collectively (simultaneously) influence profitability (measured by Return on Assets/ROA). However, when examined individually (partially), mudharabah financing does not exhibit a significant effect, whereas musyarakah and murabahah financing significantly negatively impact ROA.
