Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine how energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2024 disclose their carbon emissions in relation to profitability, leverage, and firm size. The study's urgency stems from the fact that businesses in the energy sector contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, making carbon emission reporting transparency an essential component of establishing a company's reputation and guaranteeing its sustainability. In addition, Indonesia’s emission reduction targets and implementation, as reported by Climate Action Tracker 2024, are still insufficient to keep global warming below 1.5°C. The sampling method employed is saturated sampling (census) based on specific criteria, resulting in 75 observations. This study uses cross-sectional data for the year 2024. The analytical model applied is ordinary least squares (OLS). OLS is chosen as it is a BLUE estimator and is considered the most appropriate method for testing causal relationships among observed variables. Firm size has a positive impact on carbon emission reporting, but profitability and leverage have no effect, according to empirical findings. The study's conclusions contradict legitimacy theory because carbon emission reporting policies are still optional, which encourages businesses to prioritize improving their financial performance. However, large firms tend to increase the transparency of carbon emission reporting as an effort to maintain reputation and obtain social legitimacy. The results are also not in line with stakeholder theory, as firms with high leverage tend to prioritize financial stability over carbon emission reporting, which requires additional costs.

Abstract

Accountable regional financial management is a fundamental prerequisite for achieving good governance, particularly in regions with limited infrastructure and institutional capacity such as Jayawijaya Regency. Although regulations and information systems have been established, the practices of budget administration and expenditure accountability still face various challenges that potentially hinder the effectiveness of budget management. This study aims to analyze the actual condition of budget administration and expenditure accountability of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD), identify the constraints encountered, and formulate optimization strategies for regional financial management in Jayawijaya Regency. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were obtained from informants selected through purposive sampling, consisting of officials and technical staff from the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency, the Inspectorate, and related Regional Apparatus Organizations in Jayawijaya Regency. The results indicate that budget administration and expenditure accountability have not been optimally implemented, as reflected in administrative delays, inconsistencies in documentation, and uneven utilization of financial information systems. The main constraints include limited human resource capacity, weak inter-unit coordination, and differing interpretations of regulations. The implications of this study highlight the importance of strengthening personnel capacity, standardizing procedures, optimizing information systems, and enhancing the role of internal supervision and leadership in promoting more transparent and accountable regional financial governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the construction of green finance strategies in promoting the transformation of sustainable investment within financial institutions in Indonesia. Specifically, it explores the factors influencing the adoption of green finance, the challenges encountered in its implementation, and the strategic opportunities for integrating sustainability principles into the national financial system. This research employs a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review method. Data were collected through an in-depth analysis of 47 peer-reviewed articles, regulatory policy documents, and sustainability reports from financial institutions published between 2019 and 2025. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns, trends, and key findings related to green finance strategies. The results indicate that the development of green finance strategies in Indonesia is influenced by five main factors: a regulatory framework strengthened by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), internal environmental awareness, top management support, financial technology innovation, and external market pressure. The findings also reveal that the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles has a positive impact on financial stability and institutional reputation. Furthermore, this study finds that the success of sustainable investment transformation requires a holistic approach involving institutional capacity building, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and the development of innovative green financial products. However, several major challenges remain, including gaps in green financial literacy, inadequate standardization of ESG indicators, and the national economy’s continued dependence on fossil fuels. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive understanding of green finance strategy construction and its role in strengthening sustainable finance practices in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research looks at how lifestyle, financial literacy, and fintech payments affect university students` financial management practices. It aims to identify the extent to which digital payment usage, financial knowledge, and consumption patterns influence students’ ability to manage their finances effectively. A quantitative explanatory technique is used in this research. Purposive sampling was applied to gather data collected from Universitas Dian Nuswantoro Faculty of Economics and Business students. Respondents were given a standardized questionnaire employing a 5-point Likert scale. To assess the correlations between the variables, the data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The findings show that fintech payment, financial literacy, and lifestyle have significant effects on financial management behavior, both partially and simultaneously. Financial literacy shows the strongest influence, while fintech payment and lifestyle also contribute to shaping financial behavior among students. This study presents empirical data on financial behavior, especially with regard to students' use of digital finance. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of strengthening financial literacy and promoting responsible use of digital payment systems to support better financial decision-making.
