Descriptive statistics, factor analysis and Structural Equation Modelling was applied during data analysis. The study was guided by Management Competency Theory. The study found that managerial skills in terms of Administrative and technical skills had significant effect on the performance of selected Local Government departments in Tanzania. This study has also implications for practitioners (Heads of Departments). On the one hand, like previous research, study findings show that in order to achieve proper performance, LGAs should provide capacity building to their personnel (HoDs) in areas of financial management and technical skills.  In addition, managerial skills significantly influence revenue target and service delivery to the community. Thus, in order to improve performance of LGAs, the study concludes by recommending that for someone to be appointed as a Head of Department of LGAs in Tanzania, they must have managerial and technical skills related to financial matters for proper implementation of departmental operations and programmes and this should be part and parcel of the LGAs strategy and policy. The study also recommends that, the Local Authorities Accounts Committee (LAAC) to abide by the existing legal frameworks to control financial irregularities in the Departments of LGA and promote service delivery to the community.

Indonesia Human Development Index is included in the category of a high level of human development, but there are still disparities in human development between regions especially in Eastern Indonesia. This study uses secondary data and purposive sampling with 156 districts and cities as the number of samples that meet the criteria to determine the impact of poverty level, economic growth, education function expenditure, health function expenditure, and capital expenditure on the HDI in districts and cities in Eastern Indonesia from 2015 to 2018. Multiple linear regression is the approach of data analysis used in this study. According to the results of statistical analyses of 156 districts and cities in Eastern Indonesia, Poverty level has a negative and significant impact on HDI, economic growth has no effect on HDI, health function expenditures have a negative effect on HDI, education function expenditures have a positive effect on HDI, and capital expenditures have no effect on HDI. The results of this study can be used to provide input for regional development policy makers in the context of improving regional governance and as material for evaluating the implementation of ongoing development, as well as material for planning future strategies for decision making, especially in relation to human development. The limitation of this study is that it only uses a limited sample from 2015-2018. It is suggested for further research to add other independent variables that may influence HDI, such as the unemployment rate, minimum wage, and regional income. In addition, it is also recommended to add years of research to see the long-term effect of research results.

Abstract

This research discusses tax aggressiveness, corporate social responsibility, and capital intensity before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 is still a popular topic today. The COVID-19 has not only affected the health sector but also the economies of almost all parts of the world. The phenomenon of COVID-19 raises discussions about whether there have been changes in company actions before and during the pandemic. Many companies have been negatively affected by the pandemic, but there are some businesses that have survived and remain stable. The findings of this study can be used as a monitoring method to inform stakeholders about company performance both before and during the pandemic. The time frame used in the study was 2018 to 2021. The population in this study was taken from the food and beverage industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The data used was obtained from the company's annual report. The results of this study show that there were differences in tax aggressiveness, disclosure of corporate social responsibility, and capital intensity before and during the pandemic. There was an increase in tax aggressiveness during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the provision of tax incentives by the government, which was seen by companies as a loophole to practice tax aggressiveness. CSR also increased during the pandemic because it is used as a risk management strategy and to increase profits. Meanwhile, the decrease in capital intensity was due to a decrease in the company's fixed assets during the pandemic. Companies are trying to maximize the use of fixed assets and reduce costs that can reduce company profits. Further research is expected to use other variables and conduct research in different sectors with a larger number of samples.

Abstract

Through an increase in the selection of lease options in order to improve the company's financial performance and followed by the discovery of problems in reporting lease values ​​that do not appear in the company's financial statements, causing the need for new policies that can balance and overcome problems related to these leases. The purpose of this research is to see how a company's financial performance who have experienced the influence of the capitalization of leases related to the implementation of a new policy, namely PSAK 73 regarding leases, in influencing the firm value. This research uses the documentation method with secondary data in the form of annual financial reports from a sample of companies, namely the wholesale and retail sub-sector that are members of the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX), in the year of research, namely 2020. Testing the research hypothesis was carried out by partial parameter significance test (t-test) and a coefficient of determination test (R2). The results of the hypothesis testing show that the independent variables, namely the projected financial performance with Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and fixed asset turnover each do not have a significant effect on the dependent variable, namely firm value with Tobin's Q projection. This happens because the average value of capitalized leases on the company's financial statements is low so the effect on firm value is also low and insignificant. This research is limited in using independent variables and the dependent variable used and the research sample only focuses on the wholesale and retail sub-sector. It is recommended for future research to choose independent variables and other dependent variables that can better describe the impact of implementing this new policy and use other samples of companies that also experience significant impacts related to capitalization of leases in order to describe better and different results.
