Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Performance-Based Budgeting (PBB) in enhancing public sector performance accountability through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Using the PRISMA framework, this study systematically analyzes 31 peer-reviewed articles from national and international journals. The findings show that PBB contributes positively to performance accountability, particularly when supported by high-quality performance indicators, strong institutional commitment, and effective utilization of performance information. However, the implementation of PBB is often still administrative and symbolic in nature. This study contributes by providing a structured synthesis of empirical findings and highlighting the role of flexible budgeting as an integral component of PBB in the public sector.

Abstract

Tax avoidance has become a critical phenomenon that undermines government revenue, particularly in the energy sector, which is characterized by high profitability and complex transactions. However, previous research has shown inconsistent findings regarding the effects of firm size and return on assets (ROA) on tax avoidance. This study empirically tests the effects of firm size and ROA on tax avoidance among companies in the oil, gas, and coal subsectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2019–2023. Using descriptive and confirmatory methods with secondary data from annual financial reports, the sample was selected via purposive sampling, resulting in 58 companies (290 observations). Tax avoidance is measured by the effective tax rate (ETR), firm size by the natural logarithm of total assets, and ROA by the ratio of net income to total assets. Regression analysis indicates that, when analyzed individually, firm size does not significantly affect tax avoidance (sig. 0.337 > 0.05), whereas ROA has a positive and significant effect (sig. 0.011 < 0.05). When analyzed simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect, with a coefficient of determination of 2.3%. In conclusion, firm size does not determine the level of tax avoidance, as oversight and reputation play a more dominant role. High profitability actually encourages management to engage in tax avoidance to maintain net income. These findings support agency theory, which suggests agents tend to act opportunistically.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of exposure to the Korean drama The Auditors on accounting students’ understanding of professional ethics and fraud detection. The growing popularity of professional-themed Korean dramas among Generation Z highlights their potential as informal learning media. However, empirical evidence regarding their role in accounting education remains limited, particularly in integrating ethical understanding and fraud awareness. This study addresses this gap by investigating whether exposure to The Auditors enhances students’ understanding of professional ethics and fraud detection. A quantitative approach was employed using primary data collected through questionnaires from 180 accounting students in the Special Region of Yogyakarta who had watched the drama. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS. The results indicate that exposure to The Auditors has a positive and significant effect on students’ understanding of both professional ethics and fraud detection. This study contributes to the accounting education literature by demonstrating that narrative-based visual media can enhance conceptual understanding and support the internalization of professional values.

Abstract

This study examines how e-commerce tax system integration influences tax compliance among indonesian marketplace sellers by testing digital tax literacy as a mediator and trust in the digital tax system as a moderator. Data were collected through a quantitative survey of 166 active sellers on Shopee, Tokopedia, TikTok Shop, and Lazada using purposive sampling and analysed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling in SmartPLS. The results show that e-commerce tax system integration positively affects digital tax literacy (β = 0.442, p < 0.001) and tax compliance (β = 0.171, p = 0.005). Digital tax literacy positively affects tax compliance (β = 0.231, p = 0.002) and partially mediates the relationship between system integration and compliance (β = 0.102, p = 0.005). Trust significantly moderates this relationship, but its negative interaction effect (β = −0.225, p < 0.001) indicates that higher trust reduces the marginal influence of system integration. Theoretically, the findings connect TAM and TPB by demonstrating that technological integration improves compliance through capability development, while trust operates as a boundary condition. Practically, tax authorities and marketplace operators should combine system integration with targeted digital tax education, transparent data governance, and accessible user support.

Abstract

This study investigates how External Pressure and HR Competence affect school financial reporting quality, with the Internal Control System as a mediating variable and the Accounting Information System as a moderating variable. The setting is BOS fund management in state secondary schools under Central Kalimantan Province, a region ranked among the three provinces with the highest indications of BOS fund misuse in the 2023 Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) conducted by Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission. Prior studies have reported inconsistent findings, and none has simultaneously examined the mediating role of internal control and the moderating role of accounting information systems in this context. Integrating Institutional Theory, Contingency Theory, and the Resource-Based View, the study tests eight hypotheses covering direct, mediation, and moderation relationships. A census of 300 schools yielded 258 usable responses (86 percent), which were analyzed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4.1.1.4. External Pressure and HR Competence significantly strengthen the Internal Control System but have no direct effect on financial reporting quality. The Internal Control System fully mediates both relationships and emerges as the dominant determinant, explaining 73.4 percent of the variance in financial reporting quality. The Accounting Information System does not moderate this relationship. These findings position internal control as the central mechanism through which institutional pressure and human resource competence are translated into financial reporting quality.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of organizational readiness, external pressure, and top management support on cloud accounting adoption among MSMEs in Pekanbaru. Despite offering benefits such as operational efficiency, real-time data access, and cost savings, adoption levels remain low. Using a quantitative approach and purposive sampling, the study involved 384 MSMEs, with 347 valid responses collected through structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that the three factors influence adoption. This highlights the importance of resources, environmental pressure, and managerial commitment in driving digital transformation among MSMEs. The study offers practical insights for MSMEs and policymakers to speed up cloud accounting adoption.
