Abstract

Research aims: This study intends to examine how financial performance, assessed through ROA, DER, CR, and PE, impacts Firm value, with GCG and managerial ownership acting as a moderating factor, in technology firms within Indonesia. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research adopts a quantitative explanatory framework using secondary data derived from financial report documents of technology companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2021–2023. From a total of 48 companies, 35 were selected using purposive sampling based on criteria such as regularly releasing audited financial statements. The study employed panel data with a pooled data method and was analyzed through Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Research findings:  The findings indicate that ROA, DER, CR, and PER together affect Firm value. To some extent, ROA and DER significantly influence Firm value, whereas CR and PER do not. GCG, represented by managerial ownership, does not influence the connection between financial performance and firm value. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study provides insights into the limited role of GCG in shaping the impact of financial performance on firm value, particularly in technology companies post-pandemic. Practitioner/Policy implication: The results indicate that corporate management ought to prioritize enhancing profitability and the efficiency of capital structure, while reassessing the strategic importance of managerial ownership in governance. Research limitation/implication: This research focuses on technology firms listed on the IDX from 2021 to 2023 and may not accurately represent conditions in different industries or periods.

Abstract

Research aims: This study examines the effects of audit tenure and locus of control on audit quality, with auditor independence as an intervening variable, among Regional Inspectorate auditors in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The research is grounded in attribution theory, which explains auditor behavior as a function of internal and external factors. Design/Methodology/Approach: Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to regional inspectorate auditors and analyzed using structural equation modelling. Research findings: The results reveal that audit tenure has a negative but insignificant effect on auditor independence and does not significantly influence audit quality. These findings indicate that the length of audit engagements in the public sector does not compromise or enhance audit quality, given the mandatory nature of audit assignments, standardized procedures, and strong regulatory frameworks. Conversely, locus of control has a positive and significant effect on both auditor independence and audit quality, suggesting that auditors with a strong internal locus of control are better able to maintain objectivity and produce high-quality audits. Auditor independence is also found to have a positive and significant impact on audit quality and to mediate the relationship between locus of control and audit quality, although it does not mediate the relationship between audit tenure and audit quality. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the public-sector auditing literature by highlighting the dominant role of internal psychological attributes over structural factors in determining audit quality and provides practical implications for auditor development and governance in regional inspectorates.

Abstract

Research aims: This study examines the effect of green accounting on firm value with company growth as a mediating variable. The increasing demand for corporate sustainability has encouraged firms to integrate environmental considerations into their accounting practices. Design/Methodology/Approach: Using a quantitative research approach, this study analyses secondary data obtained from companies that implement green accounting practices. The data are analysed using mediation analysis to evaluate both direct and indirect relationships among variables. Research findings: The results indicate that green accounting has a positive and significant effect on firm value. Furthermore, green accounting also positively influences company growth, thereby enhancing firm value. The mediation test reveals that company growth partially mediates the relationship between green accounting and firm value. These findings suggest that implementing green accounting not only strengthens corporate growth but also increases firm value by improving stakeholder trust and long-term sustainability performance. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the literature on sustainable accounting by providing empirical evidence on the strategic role of green accounting in enhancing firm value.

Abstract

Research aims: This study examines the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors on the financial performance of banks in the Indonesian banking sector. The analysis explores the relationship between 25 ESG pillar dimensions and bank performance indicators from 2019 to 2023. Design/Methodology/Approach: A 129 data observation from 42 Indonesian banks was analyzed using three regression models to assess the influence of ESG initiatives on financial indicators. ESG dimensions, measured as dummy variables based on annual report disclosures, serve as independent variables, while performance indicators, measured using accounting and market variables, serve as dependent variables. Research findings: The findings indicate that environmental factors do not have a significant impact on bank performance, while social and governance factors show a positive and significant influence. These results suggest that Indonesian banks focusing on social and governance initiatives are likely to achieve better financial outcomes. Theoretical contribution/Originality: The study offers practitioners and academics a set of empirically validated ESG predictors relevant to bank performance.

Abstract

Research aims: This study analyzes the accountability of natural resource assets in peatland ecosystems within the framework of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting – Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA). Design/Methodology/Approach: The study uses a qualitative case study of community agricultural activities in Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with farmers, government reports, agricultural statistics, and environmental documents. Data analysis used an interactive model based on the SEEA Ecosystem Accounting interpretive approach. Research findings: The results indicate that peatlands function as ecosystem assets that generate various ecosystem services, particularly provisioning services, such as agricultural produce serving as a source of community income. Existing accountability patterns remain dominated by program reporting and budget utilization, and information about the condition of peat assets, ecosystem services, and environmental benefits has not been systematically integrated. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study proposes the concept of ecological accountability as a form of public accountability that positions the condition of ecological assets, ecosystem services, and natural resource sustainability as integral components of the accountability system. The findings reinforce the relevance of implementing SEEA Ecosystem Accounting to support peatland management that is more transparent, sustainable, and oriented toward community well-being.

Abstract

Research aims: This study aims to map the readiness for integrating water accounting into Indonesia's green fiscal governance by developing a conceptual framework that links water accounting data, public fiscal systems, and the effectiveness of environmental expenditure as the foundation for designing an environmental budget tagging model. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employs a scoping review approach, synthesizing national and international policy documents related to water management, sustainability reporting, and fiscal governance. Research findings: The study finds that Indonesia has achieved conceptual, regulatory, fiscal, and institutional readiness to adopt water accounting within its green fiscal governance system. The existing statistical infrastructure aligns with the principles of environmental-economic accounting, while the Climate Budget Tagging mechanism provides a fiscal foundation that can evolve into a comprehensive Environmental Budget Tagging system encompassing water-related expenditures. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study extends the literature by explicitly connecting water accounting with fiscal policy mechanisms, integrating perspectives from environmental–economic accounting, climate governance, sustainability reporting, and public sector accounting into a single conceptual framework applicable to policy design. Practitioner/Policy implication: The findings provide a foundation for policymakers to integrate water-related data into fiscal decision-making, promoting transparent and evidence-based environmental budgeting. Embedding water accounting within fiscal systems can strengthen the efficiency, accountability, and sustainability of public spending, aligning it with national green development goals. Research Limitation/Implication: The study is conceptual in nature and limited to publicly available documents; future research may conduct empirical assessments to validate fiscal-environmental linkages and measure the effectiveness of implementation.
