Abstract

In Indonesia, inconsistencies frequently arise between the planned tax revenue and budgeting and the actual realization, with tax avoidance being a notable contributing factor. Tax avoidance refers to a company's lawful attempts to decrease tax payments by exploiting legal loopholes. While it is within legal bounds, widespread utilization of this practice by numerous companies can adversely impact government tax revenues, leading to substantial losses for the country. The objective of this research is to examine and assess the impact of sales growth, company size, and fixed asset intensity on tax avoidance. The research employs a causal approach, utilizing secondary data. Documentation method was employed for data collection, sourced from the Indonesian Stock Exchange (www.idx.co.id). The study population consists of Property and Real Estate companies listed on the IDX from 2017 to 2022, totaling 97 companies. Purposive sampling was employed, resulting in a sample size of 66. Descriptive statistical analysis, panel data regression model estimation, classical assumption tests, and goodness of fit model tests were employed for data analysis using the Eviews 12 program. The findings reveal no significant influence of sales growth on tax avoidance, while company size and fixed asset intensity exhibit a noteworthy impact. Simultaneously, all tested independent variables exhibit a positive effect on tax avoidance. The coefficient of determination for the research model is 38.55%. Suggestions for future research include incorporating additional independent variables and, if feasible, intervening and moderating variables related to tax avoidance.

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

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to look at the determinants of the cost of capital for a company. 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. The capital arrangement of the company is determined based on the pecking order theory and the trade-off theory while keeping in mind the cost elements associated with it. In Indonesia, economic stability and political stability are the major determinants that determine the cost of capital for a company. These determinants affect the availability and cost.
