Abstract

This study examines the act of whistleblowing as a fraud prevention mechanism with a focus on the role of auditors in Makassar City. Whistleblowing, defined as reporting violations of law or ethics to authorities, has great potential in detecting fraud and promoting organizational transparency. This study explores factors that influence auditors' courage to whistleblow, including professional commitment, moral intensity, and cultural and religious aspects. The methodology of this study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with a number of auditors in Makassar City. The results of the study indicate that the moral intensity of auditors is a dominant factor in motivating whistleblowing. This study also found that an organizational culture that supports transparency and legal protection for whistleblowers has a significant influence on increasing the effectiveness of the whistleblowing system. This study reveals that whistleblowing can be an effective early detection tool if supported by supportive organizational policies, special training for auditors, and the adoption of anonymous reporting technology. In conclusion, whistleblowing is an important element in fraud prevention efforts. By strengthening professional commitment, increasing moral intensity, and creating a supportive organizational environment, auditors can play a more effective role in identifying and reporting fraud. This study provides practical recommendations for policymakers to develop a safer and more transparent whistleblowing system.

Abstract

This study explores the role of environmental and sustainability accounting in promoting sustainable seaweed farming in Indonesia. Environmental accounting records and reports the environmental impacts of economic activities, while sustainability accounting integrates economic, social, and environmental dimensions under the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) and Pentuple Bottom Line (PBL) frameworks. The research highlights how these tools can enhance seaweed farming's global competitiveness, support blue economy development, and address climate change.Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study combines in-depth interviews with seaweed farmers, academics, and stakeholders with a literature review. Legitimacy theory is applied to analyze how transparency in sustainability reporting strengthens relationships with society and global markets.Findings reveal limited adoption of environmental and sustainability accounting in seaweed farming, despite its potential. Transparency in managing environmental impacts, such as waste and carbon absorption, is critical. Local cultural values like siri’ na pacce serve as a moral foundation for strengthening social legitimacy. Technologies like IoT and blockchain can accelerate effective environmental accounting.This study contributes by integrating environmental and sustainability accounting into the PBL framework, addressing economic, social, and environmental impacts more comprehensively. It emphasizes better governance through farmer awareness, eco-friendly technologies, and stronger regulations, positioning seaweed farming as a blue economy model. Future research should focus on cross-sector collaboration to advance sustainable fisheries and marine policies.

Abstract

The Kalimas River, which flows through industrial and residential areas, faces significant pollution pressure due to diverse anthropogenic activities. This study evaluates the water quality parameters of the Kalimas River in Surabaya, Indonesia, and investigates the correlations among these parameters to assess potential health risks. Key parameters assessed include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS). Sampling was conducted along ten strategically selected segments. The results reveal varying levels of pollution, with elevated BOD5, COD, and TSS values indicating organic and chemical pollution, and low DO levels signalling oxygen depletion in certain sections. Statistical analysis using Spearman’s correlation demonstrated significant relationships among variables, such as a negative correlation between temperature and DO. Health risks are evident, as high COD and BOD levels promote pathogen growth, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases, while elevated TSS may carry pollutants that further threaten public health. The presence of low DO levels also disrupts aquatic ecosystems, which can exacerbate bacterial growth, posing additional health hazards to communities using the river for daily activities. These findings highlight the need for urgent interventions to mitigate pollution and protect both ecological health and public safety.

Abstract

Many environmentalists have argued that corporations are to be held accountable for environmental hazards that they unleash on the environment. This study seeks to ascertain the effect of sustainability disclosure on firm performance. This study focused on the Nigerian oil and gas sector. This sector has been in the turbulent waters in recent times. The spillover effect of climatic change and drastic environmental degradation has fueled the agitation for sustainability disclosure the world over. This study employed a judgmental sample technique to select ten firms for a period of ten years, 2014- 2023. The results showed that disclosure of economic activities has a positive effect on firm performance, while disclosure of social activities has a negative on firm performance. This study was performed to give cradle to prior studies and to reaffirm the results obtained by prior researchers on the subject. The result shows that disclosure of economic activities by firms in the industrial subsector in Nigeria positively influences the financial performance of firms within this biome. The result further reveals that disclosure of environmental activities by firms in the industrial goods sector in Nigeria has no significant effect on financial performance. Finally, the results reveal that disclosure of social activities by firms in the industrial goods subsector has a negative effect on the financial performance of firms in this biome.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of acceleration of Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) at the Land Office of Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Using a qualitative approach, this study focuses on the policy dimensions according to Merilee S. Grindle's theory, namely policy content and policy context. The results of the study indicate that although the benefits of the program have been felt by the community, especially the lower middle class, its implementation has not been fully effective. The main obstacle found was the lack of coordination and communication between the Land Office, sub-districts, and the community. Despite efforts to improve, such as more intensive coordination and going directly to the field, several sub-districts, including Manutapen Sub-district, still experience delays in socialization and measurement. This study suggests improving coordination between institutions and wider socialization to ensure that this program is right on target and can be felt by all levels of society.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that affects children's growth and development. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the stunting reduction acceleration program at Kapan Public Health Center. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study showed that although there was a decrease in stunting cases from 726 to 556 cases in 2023, the stunting rate increased again to 777 cases in 2024. Inhibiting factors include lack of public knowledge, limited supervision, and suboptimal policy planning. In seeing the success of policy implementation, policy implementation can be studied based on Merilee S. Grindle's theory by referring to 2 major variables, namely policy content and policy context. This study also looks at the success of the implementation of Presidential Regulation Number 72 of 2021 concerning the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction in the working area of the Kapan Health Center, North Mollo District, South Central Timor Regency. This study recommends increasing cross-sector collaboration and community education to prevent stunting.

Abstract

Women are considered to be an important human resource in South Africa, and every country should try to utilize them as mediators of economic growth and development. Sociocultural factors challenge them to achieve managerial performance. However, the literature focuses on sociocultural research for women in urban provinces of South Africa, neglecting rural women in KZN. On the other hand, sociocultural research usually overlooks the insufficient attention to the needs and challenges faced by women in their enterprises. This study aims to examine the factors influencing rural women's entrepreneurship performance in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). The study employed a qualitative approach, where open-ended semi-structured interviews were used as instruments for data collection. There were 26 questionnaires distributed to women entrepreneurs operating their businesses in rural KZN, specifically uMhlabuyalingana, eJozini and Big5Hlabisa. Thematic content analysis was the primary method utilized for analyzing the collected data. Findings reveal that these women demonstrate resilience and adaptability in managing business alongside family responsibilities. Strategic planning and conflict management are essential for overcoming challenges, although there is a need for leadership and financial management training. Sociocultural factors, including family responsibilities and varying levels of social support, play a significant role, while gender stereotypes continue to undermine their managerial abilities. Limited access to Technology hinders business growth, stressing the need for digital skills training to enhance efficiency, competitiveness, and market reach. Tailored support programs addressing these sociocultural and technological challenges are essential to enhancing rural women entrepreneurs' success and driving economic development in rural communities.

Abstract

Over the past century, Mississippi has experienced significant increases in average temperatures, contributing to a variety of environmental and socioeconomic challenges. Changing precipitation patterns, including more frequent and severe droughts, threaten the state’s agriculture and water resources. At the same time, increasingly intense storms and floods pose risks to infrastructure and human safety. This paper explores evolving climate patterns in Mississippi, focusing on increasing temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, and examines the broader implications of these extreme temperature trends for Mississippi’s economy, health, and livelihoods. Trend analysis shows that Mississippi experiences year-round precipitation, hot summers, and relatively mild winters. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico serve as a major source of moisture and help moderate temperatures along the Mississippi coast, which impacts tourism and agricultural productivity. Over the past thirty years, the average annual precipitation in Mississippi has been 58.9 inches, with the northern region receiving about 50 inches and the coastal region nearly 65 inches. The state’s average temperature is extremely high, with a record low of 53°F and a record high of 75.3°F. This paper offers valuable insights into how Mississippi can adapt to a warming climate while protecting its natural resources and communities. The analysis highlights the need for stronger climate adaptation strategies and policy interventions to mitigate these impacts, with a focus on sustainable land and water management practices. This paper provides valuable insights for policymakers, environmental scientists, and stakeholders seeking to address the state’s climate challenges.
