Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the World Uncertainty Index (WUI)—a global measure of economic and policy uncertainty—on the cash holdings of publicly listed non-financial companies in Indonesia. Given the increasing global economic and geopolitical uncertainty, understanding how firms in emerging markets manage liquidity is both theoretically relevant and practically important. The study employs a quantitative approach, using panel data regression on a sample of 782 non-financial firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2024. A total of 5,944 firm-year observations were analyzed. The empirical analysis applies the fixed effect model and Driscoll-Kraay standard errors to ensure robust statistical inference. The findings reveal a statistically significant and negative relationship between the WUI and corporate cash holdings. This suggests that during periods of high global uncertainty, Indonesian firms tend to reduce cash reserves, potentially to sustain operational activities or meet short-term obligations. The results challenge the traditional precautionary motive, which posits that firms increase cash in response to uncertainty. Instead, they highlight a context-specific liquidity behavior in emerging markets, where financial constraints and weak external financing channels may force firms to deplete cash during uncertain times. The study provides practical insights for financial managers in designing adaptive liquidity strategies, and it highlights the need for policymakers to support corporate resilience in volatile global conditions.

Abstract

Tanjung Mas is an administrative village in North Semarang that includes a fishing settlement known as Tambak Lorok, located within the Semarang Port area. Due to its direct access to the sea, the area is rich in marine resources. However, this abundance has not translated into prosperity for the local fishing families. In fact, Tanjung Mas is one of the three urban villages in Semarang City that are classified as experiencing extreme poverty. This condition has significantly impacted the area's economic resilience of fishing families. This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, financial behavior, and financial inclusion—three factors that play an important role in determining the economic resilience of fishing families in Tambak Lorok. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a questionnaire-based survey method. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26, chosen for its ability to objectively and empirically test the partial and simultaneous effects of independent variables on a single dependent variable. A total of 265 respondents were selected using a convenience sampling technique. The analytical method employed was multiple linear regression. The hypothesis testing results show that all three variables have a significant positive effect, with significance values of Sig. = 0.002 for financial literacy, Sig. = 0.001 for financial behavior, and Sig. = 0.000 for financial inclusion. Future research is encouraged to broaden the geographic scope of the study to enable comparative analyses across different fishing communities, adopt a mixed-methods approach for more comprehensive results, and consider modifying or adding other relevant variables.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of financial distress, auditor quality, and auditor-client tenure on going concern audit opinion, with opinion shopping as a moderating variable. This research is motivated by the inconsistency of previous findings and the need to explore managerial opportunism through auditor switching behavior. The study population comprises companies in the consumer goods sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2024. The sample selection was conducted using purposive sampling, resulting in 10 companies with 50 firm-year observations. The data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results indicate that financial distress, auditor quality, and auditor-client tenure have a significant impact on the going concern audit opinion. Additionally, opinion shopping significantly moderates the effect of auditor quality and auditor-client tenure on going concern opinion, but does not moderate the effect of financial distress. This study contributes to the literature by integrating opinion shopping as a moderating variable, an approach that remains underexplored, particularly in the consumer goods sector. Practical implications include reinforcing auditor independence and rotation policies to mitigate audit bias.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability and cash holdings on income smoothing from an Islamic perspective in Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia from 2020 to 2023. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with 10 Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia over 4 years. This study used a quantitative approach using logistic regression. The model testing uses the Hosmer and Lemeshow model goodness-of-fit test, the coefficient of determination test, and the partial and simultaneous significance tests. The study's results indicate that, partially, profitability and cash holdings do not influence income smoothing, as evidenced by the significance values of each variable being greater than 0.05. However, simultaneously, both variables influence income smoothing. From an Islamic perspective, the results of this study indicate that Islamic commercial banks are committed to the principles of transparency, honesty, and accountability in financial reporting. This study found no indication that Islamic bank management smokes income based on profitability or cash holdings. This study expands the literature on Islamic accounting by emphasizing the importance of ethical and responsible profit management and providing an overview of how Islamic principles are applied in current financial practices.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of the Investment Opportunity Set (IOS), firm growth, and profitability on firm value, with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a moderating variable. The research focuses on manufacturing companies listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) for 2019–2024. IOS is measured using the Market to Book Value ratio, firm growth by changes in total assets, profitability by Return on Equity (ROE), firm value by Price to Book Value (PBV), and CSR by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 2016 indicators. A total of six companies were selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 36 observations. The data were analyzed using panel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with EViews 12. The results show that IOS and profitability positively and significantly affect firm value, while firm growth has no significant effect. CSR significantly moderates the relationship between IOS and firm value, but does not moderate the effects of growth and profitability. These findings support signaling and agency theory and highlight that strategic CSR aligned with substantial investment and profit potential can enhance firm value, especially in sharia-based capital markets.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the extent to which green accounting and Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) impact the achievement of sustainable performance in manufacturing companies listed on the Jakarta Islamic Index from 2020 to 2023. Green accounting is a financial reporting approach that incorporates environmental aspects, aiming to enhance corporate transparency and accountability in environmental preservation. On the other hand, ICSR reflects corporate social responsibility based on Islamic principles, which emphasizes the fulfillment of stakeholder rights and the preservation of ecosystem balance. This study employs multiple regression methods using secondary data obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports, and the results are tested using the EViews 10 tool. The results showed that Green Accounting has a negative impact on sustainability performance, while ICSR has a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect on the company's sustainability performance. These findings offer valuable insights into the integrative role of environmental reporting and Islamic-based social responsibility in promoting corporate sustainability. This study aims to make theoretical and practical contributions to the development of corporate sustainability strategies grounded in Islamic values in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of financial ratios on financial distress in manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2022–2023. The independent variables analyzed comprise liquidity, profitability, leverage, and activity ratios, while the dependent variable is financial distress. The research utilizes multiple linear regression analysis within a quantitative framework. From a population of 170 companies, purposive sampling was applied to select 23 firms as the sample. Data analysis was performed utilizing SPSS version 25. The results indicated that liquidity, profitability, and activity ratios have a significant negative influence on financial distress, implying that higher levels of these ratios are associated with a reduced risk of distress. Conversely, the leverage ratio demonstrated a significant positive effect on financial distress, indicating that increased dependence on debt heightens the probability of financial difficulties. This study contributes to existing literature and offers important guidance for company management, investors, and creditors in the process of making financial decisions.

Abstract

Further insight into the impact of company size, tax planning, and leverage towards profitability through the perspective of board age diversity. Manufacturing companies of various sub-sectors that earn positive income listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange as per the year under research are the population used. The number of companies used as samples in this study was 23, with three years of observation (2022-2024). The study uses secondary data from their companies' official websites and the Indonesian Stock Exchange. It uses a quantitative method that uses panel data regression analysis and will conduct the Chow and Hausman tests to determine the regression analysis processed with the Eviews 12 application. The research results state that company size positively affects profitability. In line with that, tax planning has a positive effect on profitability as well. Meanwhile, leverage has a negative influence on profitability. It was also found that board age diversity moderates the correlation of company size and tax planning on profitability, so any decision-making process leads to increased profitability. However, board age diversity cannot moderate the relationship between leverage and profitability.
