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.

Abstract

This research examines the potential of blockchain technology and Triple-Entry Accounting (TEA) in improving financial statement transparency, replacing the double-entry system that is vulnerable to manipulation. Blockchain-based TEA enables encrypted and real-time immutable records, as well as integration with smart contracts for process automation and efficiency. Through the Systematic Literature Review method, an analysis of 30 articles shows that blockchain and DLT improve data reliability and accuracy, while smart contracts reduce errors and speed up reporting. However, the implementation of these technologies still faces various barriers such as high costs, technical limitations, institutional resistance, and regulatory uncertainty, especially in Indonesia. In addition, there is a lack of academic literature that discusses the application of TEA in depth. Therefore, further research is needed to explore the empirical application of TEA, the development of auditing standards, and updating the competencies of the accounting profession in the digital era.

Abstract

Job opportunities for college graduates are increasingly limited. On the other hand, the number of intellectual unemployment is increasing. The mindset of students who are still job seekers oriented rather than creating jobs (job creators) makes the imbalance between labor demand and supply worse. The study of the variable explanatory variables of entrepreneurial intention has been carried out, although the results are not conclusive and the involvement of mediating variable or the moderation is still limited. Finding and re-explaining variable that can explain the problem regarding the low entrepreneurial interest is a decent job to be examined again in this study. This study was conducted on final-level student respondents at accredited A colleges in Semarang through interviews by using questionnaires. The data obtained were analyzed using the Binary Logistic Regression Test. The results show that attitude and contextual factors are the variables that can explain the entrepreneurial interest clearly. The self-confidence variable is actually not able to moderate the influence of attitude and contextual factors on the entrepreneurial interest. This study also shows that autonomy and authority are dimensions that have dominant influence in explaining attitudinal factor and academic support is the dominant dimensions in explaining contextual factor.

Abstract

Employee performance remains a critical determinant of organizational success, particularly in operational units of state-owned enterprises where efficiency and precision are essential. Among the many influencing factors, the work environment—both physical and non-physical—has drawn increasing attention as a strategic element of human resource development. This study aims to examine the relationship between work environment and employee performance at PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) Divisi Regional II Sumatera Barat, focusing on UPT Balai Yasa Padang as a technical operations unit. Using a quantitative approach and a dyadic data collection method, the study involved 32 respondents through saturated sampling. Employees assessed their work environment, while supervisors evaluated employee performance, thereby minimizing common method bias. Data were collected via structured questionnaires adapted from validated instruments and analyzed using Spearman Rank Correlation. The findings reveal a moderate yet statistically significant positive correlation (rs = 0.482, p = 0.005) between the perceived quality of the work environment and employee performance. These results emphasize the importance of ergonomic, communicative, and psychologically safe work conditions in shaping productivity and accountability. Methodologically, the study contributes to organizational research by demonstrating the value of role-based dyadic assessments. The conclusion underscores the need for integrated environmental and supervisory improvements as part of performance management strategies in operationally intensive sectors.
