Abstract

Purpose - The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of tax avoidance on firm value. Company size, leverage, ROA, ROE and Sales Growth are control variables. A quantitative approach method is used for this research, where the results of the research were statistically processed based on data originating from the input process, collection process and analysis process. Research Method - A purposive sampling was taken for data collection stage, which samples of this study namely company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period of 2016 to 2020. The collected samples are then processed to find out whether there is a connection between one and another. There are 220 companies that fulfill the sample criteria in this research. Findings - The outcome of this study explain that firm value is not affected by tax avoidance, firm size has a significant negative effect on firm value, while ROA and leverage have significant positif effect on firm value, meanwhile ROE has no significant effect on firm value, leverage has a significant positive effect on firm value, as well sales growth. Implication - Research on the effect of tax avoidance on firm value generally shows that tax avoidance can increase firm value in the short term through tax cost savings. However, the research results found that there was no influence between tax avoidance and firm value. The implication is that tax avoidance practices are not considered significant by investors in assessing firm value. This suggests that other factors, such as operational performance or market conditions, may play a greater role in determining firm value, and tax avoidance does not always provide significant benefits or losses.

Purpose - This study aims to analyze the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on earnings management practices among companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). It explores how ESG transparency influences corporate financial reporting behavior. Research Method - This study uses data from Thomson Reuters, covering 86 IDX-listed companies that disclosed ESG information during the 2019-2023 period. Findings - It revealed that ESG disclosure in the environmental and social dimensions is found to reduce earnings management practices, while governance disclosure shows no significant effect. Companies with higher revenue levels are more effective in leveraging ESG disclosure to enhance transparency. Implication - This study offers a novel contribution by examining the influence of ESG disclosure on earnings management in Indonesia, while also considering company revenue levels as a comparative factor. The findings hold important policy and practical implications, especially for regulators and corporate management, in understanding the broader impact of ESG practices on the integrity of financial reporting.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the influence of tax service quality, taxpayer information technology readiness, and perceived ease of use on the implementation of the online tax system in Indonesia. The research seeks to address how these factors drive individual taxpayers’ adoption of the online system, which is crucial for enhancing tax compliance and government revenue collection. Research Method – The study employs a quantitative research design using primary data collected through surveys. Data were analyzed with SmartPLS 3.0 to test the relationships between tax service quality, information technology readiness, perceived ease of use, and online tax system implementation. Findings – The results show that tax service quality and taxpayer technology readiness have a positive and significant effect on the use of the online tax system. However, perceived ease of use does not significantly affect its adoption. This indicates that while taxpayers value service quality and their own technological readiness, usability alone does not strongly determine system usage. Implication – The findings highlight the need for policy initiatives to improve taxpayers’ digital literacy, provide intensive training and public education, and enhance the design of user-friendly tax platforms. By strengthening service quality and supporting technological readiness, tax authorities can increase taxpayer participation in the online system, ultimately boosting tax compliance and national revenue in Indonesia.

Abstract

Urban sustainability is increasingly challenged by ecological degradation and social inequality, while dominant development models centered on economic growth have proven inadequate in addressing these issues. This paper examines the potential of socially innovative business models and the sharing economy as alternative approaches to sustainable urban development. Specifically, it considers whether these models can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) when assessed through the lens of post-growth and degrowth thinking. Drawing on a conceptual and qualitative approach, the paper is based on an extensive review of literature in sustainable development, social innovation, and urban post-growth economics. The analysis focuses on how alternative business models reshape urban economic practices by reframing value creation and redistribution beyond profit-oriented logics. While these models hold potential, they remain vulnerable to being shaped by neoliberal agendas, which may limit their transformative capacity. The paper argues that their effectiveness depends on inclusive governance, ethical foundations, and institutional mechanisms that support long-term social and ecological priorities. Without these, such initiatives risk remaining symbolic. The study concludes that to support meaningful urban transformation, these models must be embedded within broader regulatory changes, public procurement reforms, and sustainability metrics that reflect non-financial forms of value.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the effects of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation, accounting conservatism, and Good Corporate Governance (GCG) mechanisms on earnings quality among companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2016–2022. The study is motivated by increasing concerns regarding financial reporting quality during periods of economic uncertainty, particularly before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research Method – A quantitative research approach was employed using secondary data obtained from audited annual reports of companies operating in the food and beverage, cement, banking, and insurance sectors. Based on purposive sampling criteria, 40 companies were selected, resulting in 280 firm-year observations. Following data screening procedures, 202 valid observations were retained for regression analysis. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and multiple regression analysis. Findings – The findings reveal that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation, accounting conservatism, audit committees, and independent commissioners have positive and significant effects on earnings quality. These results indicate that integrated information systems, prudent accounting practices, and effective corporate governance mechanisms play important roles in improving the reliability and credibility of financial reporting. Implication – This study contributes to the literature by integrating information systems, accounting practices, and corporate governance perspectives within a single framework to explain earnings quality in an emerging market context. The findings provide practical implications for managers, regulators, and investors seeking to enhance earnings quality through digital transformation, conservative accounting practices, and stronger governance mechanisms.

Abstract

This study investigates how Pokok Pikiran (pokir) fund, Indonesia’s aspiration fund scheme, is understood and practised in Aceh’s provincial budgeting process. Adopting an interpretive qualitative case study, the research draws on semi-structured interviews with members of parliament, executive budget officials, and civil society actors, complemented by analysis of media reports. The data were thematically coded to capture how different stakeholders justify, contest, and negotiate the role of pokir. The findings show that pokir is narrated in multiple and sometimes contradictory ways: as a legal mandate, as a channel for representing community aspirations, and as a bargaining instrument embedded in budget politics. While defended as a mechanism of responsiveness, its implementation often results in project personalisation, delays, and blurred boundaries between legislative and executive responsibilities. This study argues discretionary allocations such as pokir should not be seen simply as indication of weak governance. Rather, they reflect the fragility of accountability infrastructures, where limited transparency, weak monitoring, and institutionalised political practices allow the continued contestation of the scheme to persist. Addressing pokir therefore requires strengthening the broader accountability system. this research highlights the need for reforms that not only enhance monitoring and transparency, but also address the informal bargaining practices that shape allocations such as pokir.. For academics, this study contributes to public sector accounting by budgeting operates as a social practice where narratives of responsibility are performed and strategically used in political bargaining.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of female directors, defined as women serving on the board of directors within Indonesia's two-tier governance system, profitability, and CEO age on carbon emission disclosure, with institutional ownership assessed as a moderating variable. The research is driven by the persistently limited transparency of carbon emissions in Indonesia and the need to understand how governance attributes contribute to environmental accountability. A quantitative approach is applied using secondary data from non-financial firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020–2024 period. The analysis employs fixed-effect panel regression with robust standard errors, incorporating logarithmic transformations to ensure model stability and interpretability. The empirical results show that female directors on the board of directors have a significant negative effect on carbon emission disclosure, while profitability and CEO age exhibit no direct influence. The moderation analysis indicates that institutional ownership weakens the effect of profitability, strengthens the influence of CEO age, and shows no moderating role in the relationship between female directors on the board of directors and disclosure. These findings imply that institutional investors in Indonesia remain financially driven, although they tend to reinforce the long-term orientation of senior CEOs in promoting transparency. Overall, this study underscores the importance of aligning governance mechanisms with stakeholder expectations to advance carbon emission disclosure as a substantive component of corporate sustainability. .
