Abstract

Green accounting is pivotal for companies addressing environmental challenges through effective financial management. Despite its recognized benefits, many organizations hesitate to adopt environmental accounting due to concerns about profitability. This research aims to analyze the implementation of environmental accounting reporting at Kaamala Resort Ubud, located in Bali. Employing descriptive qualitative methods, the study utilizes primary data from interviews with the chief accounting manager and secondary data from the resort's 2023 profit and loss report and general ledger. Data collection methods included direct observation, documentation studies, and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that while the resort's environmental cost accounting practices align with PSAK (Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards), the recording is overly simplistic and lacks transparency, as it merges with other cost accounts. Additionally, specific reporting based on the Hansen and Mowen model has not been implemented. The study proposes a tailored model design for environmental cost accounting, highlighting the importance of effective practices for cost analysis and informed decision-making, ultimately leading to cost savings.

Abstract

This study aims to test the influence of elements of the fraud diamond theory, including pressure, opportunity, rationalization, and capability, on financial statement fraud. The population in this study were companies in the banking sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2020-2022. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method with four criteria, which resulted in 40 companies with 3 years of observation, so 120 samples were obtained that were worthy of observation. This study uses multiple regression analysis using the SPSS program. In this study, the pressure variable is measured using ROA, opportunity using ineffective monitoring, and rationalization using the total accrual ratio. In contrast, the capability variable is measured using the change of directors. The dependent variable is financial statement fraud measured using earnings management. The study's results indicate that pressure and rationalization have a positive and significant influence on financial reporting fraud in banking sub-sector companies listed on the IDX. On the other hand, opportunities and capabilities do not show a significant influence on financial reporting fraud in these companies.

Abstract

Tax aggressiveness reflects a company's strategy to minimize tax obligations through tax planning. This study aims to examine the influence of liquidity, leverage, profitability, firm size, and capital intensity on tax aggressiveness in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020-2022 period. Using purposive sampling, 72 companies were selected, resulting in 216 observational data points. The analysis method employed is multiple linear regression. The results show that profitability has a significant positive effect on tax aggressiveness, while capital intensity has a significant negative effect. These findings suggest that companies with higher profitability tend to be more aggressive in their tax planning, while those with higher capital intensity may adopt more conservative tax strategies. This study provides insights for policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of tax regulations and assists companies in understanding internal factors affecting their tax policies, offering guidance for future decision-making.

Abstract

The healthcare sector in Indonesia faces challenges in managing capital efficiency and organizational performance due to high operational costs and the need for continuous investment in health technology and infrastructure. As a key driver of economic growth, especially post-COVID-19, optimal capital management is crucial for sustaining operations and creating stakeholder value. This study examines the relationship between the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and Return on Assets (ROA) in Indonesia’s healthcare sector using a quantitative dynamic panel analysis approach. Financial data from healthcare companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange were analyzed using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The findings indicate that WACC negatively affects ROA, but the relationship is not statistically significant. Leverage, measured through the Debt to Asset Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio, strengthens this relationship positively. Meanwhile, cash holdings and firm size have a negative moderating effect, whereas Net Working Capital (NWC) reinforces the relationship positively. These results highlight the importance of effective debt and liquidity management in optimizing profitability in the healthcare sector. The study contributes theoretically to capital efficiency discussions and offers practical insights for industry stakeholders, including decision-makers and investors. The research is novel in its focus on Indonesia’s healthcare sector, making it highly relevant for financial and strategic planning in the industry.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of CEO political connections in moderating the relationship between CEO characteristics and financial performance in Indonesia's energy sector. Using a sample of 73 energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2024, the study collects secondary data on CEO tenure, age, education, and political connections. Multiple regression analysis with the Fixed Effect model was used to test the hypotheses. The results show that CEO education has a significant positive impact on financial performance, measured by Return on Assets (ROA). CEO political connections were found to strengthen the relationship between CEO education and company financial performance. In contrast, CEO tenure and age did not have a significant effect on financial performance. These findings suggest that in Indonesia's dynamic and heavily regulated energy sector, CEO education is a crucial factor in improving financial performance, especially when supported by political connections that provide access to strategic resources. Political connections also weaken the impact of CEO age on performance but enhance the positive effect of CEO education. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the interaction between CEO characteristics and political connections in the highly regulated energy sector in Indonesia, emphasizing the importance of adaptive leadership strategies in navigating regulatory challenges.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of profitability, capital structure, and liquidity on tax avoidance, with firm size as a moderating factor. This study was conducted on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period, using multiple linear regression techniques and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show a significant effect of profitability on tax avoidance, with firms with higher profits more likely to engage in tax avoidance. Conversely, capital structure does not show a significant relationship with tax avoidance, and debt financing is not a dominant tool for reducing corporate tax liabilities. On the other hand, liquidity shows a negative impact on tax avoidance, indicating that more liquid firms are generally more compliant in fulfilling their tax responsibilities. Furthermore, this study confirms that firm size moderates the relationship between the independent variables and tax avoidance, with larger firms being better equipped to implement complex tax strategies due to their sufficient financial and operational capacity. These findings provide valuable insights for corporate decision-makers, policymakers, and investors, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strategic yet compliant approach to tax planning.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of tax revenue and FDI on Gross Domestic Product of nations in Southeast Asia covering 2009- 2023. The objective is to determine whether higher tax collection and increased FDI inflows significantly influence GDP performance in the region. Southeast Asia, with its dynamic economic transitions and growing global integration, provides a relevant context for assessing the roles of fiscal capacity and external capital in supporting economic development. The study uses a quantitative method based on secondary panel data gathered through the World Bank, IMF e-Library, CEIC and YCharts platforms.  The examination was conducted in STATA 17, using common, fixed, and random effects models for assessing how the variables are related. Results indicate a strong link between tax revenue and GDP, significant at the 1% threshold. FDI also demonstrates a significant positive effect, at the 5% level. These results show that improving how countries collect taxes and making it easier for foreign investors to invest can help boost overall GDP performance. The study also provides governments clear guidance on how better tax policies and investment strategies can strengthen their economies.
