Abstract

This study examines the effect of structural and demographic diversity within boards of directors on corporate environmental performance in Indonesia. Board characteristics analyzed include size, female representation, nationality diversity, tenure, and average age. A quantitative method with panel data combining time-series and cross-sectional data was employed. Secondary data were collected from public companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) that published environmental performance reports from 2019 to 2022. A purposive sampling method was used to select firms that met specific criteria. Empirical results show that board characteristics overall significantly influence environmental performance. Specifically, board tenure negatively affects environmental performance, while female representation is positively associated with it. Board size and average age show no significant effect. These findings underscore the importance of board composition in shaping sustainable business practices. Companies are encouraged to align with global trends by embedding environmental considerations into strategic decisions. Boards should recognize the urgency of environmental issues, such as climate change, and integrate sustainability into governance frameworks to enhance long-term corporate performance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of Local Original Revenue (PAD), Balancing Funds, and Other Legitimate Local Revenues on the Financial Independence of Local Governments with Accountant Competence as a moderating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data from local government financial reports in West Java Province during the 2014-2019 period. The analysis was carried out through a moderation regression test to measure the interaction between independent and moderating variables on financial independence. The results of the study indicate that PAD and Balancing Funds have a significant effect on the financial independence of local governments, while Other Legitimate Local Revenues show an inconsistent effect. Accountant competence plays a significant role as a moderator that strengthens the relationship between PAD and financial independence. However, the moderation effect on Balancing Funds and Other Legitimate Local Revenues is not significant. This finding emphasizes the importance of strengthening accountant competence in regional financial management to increase fiscal autonomy. The practical implication of this study is the need to increase the capacity of government accountants through relevant training and certification. This study also provides theoretical contributions in integrating stakeholder perspectives and entity theory in the analysis of local government financial independence. This study suggests further studies by including other variables such as the level of regional innovation and regional spending efficiency to broaden insights into the determinants of financial independence.

Abstract

This study investigates the intersection between financial literacy and behavioral biases in investment decision-making, addressing the limited theoretical and empirical integration between the two domains. Adopting a quantitative bibliometric design, data were collected from 1,000 peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in CrossRef (2014–2025) using Publish or Perish, with purposive sampling based on metadata relevance. The dataset was analyzed using VOSviewer, which produced three core visualizations—network, overlay, and density—to map the intellectual structure, thematic development, and research intensity. The findings reveal four major clusters: financial literacy, behavioral biases, digital innovation, and empirical approaches. Financial literacy emerges as the cognitive foundation of investor behavior, while biases such as overconfidence and herding impede rational decision-making—especially in digital contexts and among younger generations. The study concludes that a cross-domain approach is essential for comprehensively understanding contemporary investment behavior. It recommends integrating technology-driven financial education with behavioral awareness to inform more inclusive and adaptive policy and market interventions.

Abstract

Indonesia's Islamic banking sector demonstrates strong development based on financial performance. This study is to find the effect on return on assets of financial ratios, capital adequacy ratio, non-performing financing, and financing to deposit ratio, using size and age as moderating factors. This will enable one to determine whether age and size of banks affect the correlation between these financial parameters and return on assets. Using secondary data on Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia between 2011 – 2023 with total 119 bank-year observations. This work applies a quantitative research approach. This analysis reveals that despite non-performing financing reduces return on assets, the capital adequacy ratio and financing to deposit ratio improve these indices. By using moderation regression analysis, banks can increase the impact of the financing ratio on deposits and the capital adequacy ratio on return on assets.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between capital structure and financial performance in distribution companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, employing a quantitative explanatory approach. Capital structure is assessed using leverage indicators based on debt-to-equity and debt-to-asset measures, while financial performance is evaluated through return on equity. The findings reveal that capital structure does not exert a significant influence on profitability, either individually or collectively. This suggests that financing composition is not a primary determinant of financial outcomes in the distribution sector. As such, firms are encouraged to focus more on operational efficiency, asset management, and marketing strategies to enhance profitability. The study offers theoretical and practical insights for both management and investors, and highlights the need for further research into alternative factors affecting financial performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the novel moderating role of inflation in the relationship between interest rates and the profitability of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria over the period 2012–2022. Using panel data from 11 banks, the study applies Fixed Effects (FE) and Random Effects (RE) panel regression models, with profitability measured by Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Interest Margin (NIM). Findings indicate that inflation significantly moderates the relationship between interest rates and both ROA and ROE, suggesting that asset- and equity-based measures of profitability are highly sensitive to inflationary dynamics. Conversely, the moderating effect on NIM is insignificant, implying that margins are relatively insulated from inflationary shocks. Theoretical implications highlight the asymmetrical impact of inflation on banking performance, reinforcing the relevance of the Fisher Effect, Modigliani-Miller intermediation theory, and Agency Cost theory in explaining bank behavior under inflationary conditions. Policy implications suggest that the Central Bank of Nigeria integrate inflation-sensitive indicators into supervisory frameworks, while banks strengthen risk management practices to mitigate macroeconomic vulnerabilities and sustain profitability. This study contributes uniquely by empirically demonstrating how inflation moderates interest rate transmission to bank profitability in a developing economy context.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between audit attributes and the financial reporting timeliness of listed oil and gas firms in Nigeria, while examining the moderating role of government ownership. Drawing on agency theory, political cost theory, and resource dependence perspectives, the research employed panel data analysis covering a ten-year period. The study utilized data from 12 listed oil and gas firms on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) between 2013 and 2022, yielding 120 firm-year observations. Secondary data were extracted from annual reports and audited financial statements. Both fixed-effects and random-effects estimators were initially estimated, with the Hausman test guiding the selection of the fixed-effects model as the preferred specification. To ensure robustness, feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) and panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) estimations were also employed. The findings reveal that audit firm size significantly improves reporting timeliness, whereas audit fee and tenure show no direct influence. Furthermore, government ownership exerts a moderating effect, strengthening the influence of audit fee and tenure on reporting timeliness but reducing the efficiency advantages associated with larger audit firms. These results highlight the interplay between institutional ownership structures and audit characteristics in shaping disclosure practices within an emerging market context. The study contributes to literature on financial reporting quality and corporate governance, offering insights for regulators, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to enhance transparency, accountability, and investor confidence in Nigeria’s strategic oil and gas sector.
