Abstract

The firm has a long-term goal of optimizing the value because it is related to the share price so as to maximize the prosperity of shareholders. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of prudence and leverage on firm value (Empirical Study of Public Companies in Indonesia). This study has a novelty in the measurement of prudence developed by Fambudi et al using the Heckit Model. The population of this study were all public companies in Indonesia during 2017-2021. A total of 332 companies were selected as samples using a purposive sampling technique, with secondary data utilized for the analysis. The results of this study indicate that prudence has a significant positive effect on firm value. Companies that apply prudence are often seen as careful and responsible entities. This good reputation builds investor and creditor confidence. Meanwhile, leverage has a significant negative effect on firm value. A high leverage ratio indicates that the company has a large debt and tends to be riskier. This study includes two control variables: firm size and growth opportunities. Firm size, as a control variable, has a negative effect on firm value, while company growth has a significant positive effect on firm value.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of brainstorming on audit quality, while taking into consideration factors such as audit tenure, accountability, and auditor competence. This paper is descriptive and uses a quantitative approach, using primary data, namely 211 auditors who work at the Public Accounting Firm in Jakarta, Indonesia. Purposive sampling is utilized in the sampling method, with information being gathered through a survey and then analyzed through the Partial Least Square approach. Audit tenure, accountability, auditor competency, and brainstorming positively affect audit quality. Meanwhile, brainstorming strengthens the influence of accountability on audit quality, although it cannot moderate audit tenure and auditor competency on audit quality. Brainstorming cannot be separated from the culture and environment of the client company or auditor's office, so the auditors' underlying behavior patterns should be upgraded to improve the audit quality. It is still rare for the authors to find that brainstorming moderates the influence of external auditors' professionalism on audit quality.

Abstract

Fast digitalized learning has resulted in greater embrace of online learning in higher education systems, even on complex topics like taxation. This change implies the need for the assessment of the impact and hurdles facing internet based tax education. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of online tax learning in the context of higher education. The research method used is quasi-qualitative, involving participants enrolled in an online tax course. The analysis technique employed is Creswell's spiral analysis. The findings indicate that online tax learning offers students flexibility in access and scheduling, enhances engagement, and provides advantages in the application of technology. However, challenges such as difficulties in accessing technology and a lack of direct interaction may impact the effectiveness of learning. The implications of this study provide insights for the development of further learning strategies and curriculum updates that support the effectiveness of online tax education in higher education institutions.

Abstract

In making effective policy responses to climate change, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms that influence CO2 emissions, given that it is becoming a more urgent global issue. This research investigates how economic growth is affected by the amount of government investment in environmental initiatives, and CO2 emissions in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, using a multiple linear regression and the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) approach. By analyzing secondary data from 2018 to 2022, including Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita, government expenditures on climate change adaptation and mitigation, and CO2 emissions, the research assesses how economic and policy actions impact environmental results. The results reveal that while economic growth significantly increases CO2 emissions, government spending on climate-related activities substantially reduces emissions. However, the EKC model does not provide evidence for the theory that there is a curvilinear relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the area. The results emphasize the importance of government interventions aimed at reducing the environmental effects of economic activities and emphasize the necessity of wisely distributing public funds towards achieving sustainable development goals in South Sulawesi.

Abstract

The ASEAN region is experiencing economic growth due to increased business activities. The consumer goods sector is important for growth in local and international markets. Companies in this sector face financial challenges such as managing capital and income tax. Corporate income tax can affect overall financial performance.  Governments depend on corporate income taxes to fund public goods. It is important for businesses and policymakers to understand what factors affect the amount of corporate taxes owed. Capital structure, profitability, and operational costs can impact tax liabilities and the financial stability of firms in competitive markets. The main goal of this study is to analyze the impact of capital structure, profitability, and operational costs on the level of corporate income tax payable. A quantitative approach is utilized, with information gathered from businesses listed on the ASEAN stock exchanges over a five-year period. The sample selection process involved purposive sampling, resulting in the inclusion of 50 companies and 250 data sets. The examination of the information requires the use of statistical techniques, traditional assumption checks, and testing of hypotheses. The study aims to shed light on the relationship between capital structure, profitability, operational costs, and corporate tax obligations within the ASEAN region.
