Abstract

The advancement of digitization creates additional chances for the effective execution of risk management and risk-based internal auditing inside an agency. This research seeks to examine the practice of risk management and risk-based internal auditing in the public sector, analyze the implementation model of these practices, and identify the successful models for their execution. The preliminary study involved the analysis of information about risk management and risk-based internal audits sourced from the Scopus Database, published between 2021 and 2024. This study was executed utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework.  This study identified five domains of risk management and risk-based internal audit outcomes in the era of digitalization, specifically (1) Internal audit, (2) Risk Management, (3) Influencial factors, (4) Audit committee, (5) Integrity system and (6) transformational technology. This research also found areas that need attention for future research, namely artificial intelligence which is part of the current development of digitalization.

Abstract

Audit switching, or the replacement of a public accounting firm by a company, plays a critical role in ensuring audit independence and the reliability of financial reporting. In the manufacturing sector, which significantly contributes to Indonesia’s GDP, audit quality is especially crucial due to the complexity and public exposure of operations. This study employs a purposive sampling method to select a sample of 85 manufacturing firms listed in Indonesia, observed over a three-year period from 2021 to 2023, resulting in a total of 255 observations. Using a quantitative approach, this research aims to address inconsistent findings in previous studies and fill existing gaps in the literature. The results reveal that audit fee, audit opinion, and public accounting firm (PAF) size do not significantly influence the likelihood of auditor switching, as these factors are often perceived as marginal or standardized by management. However, audit tenure shows a significant positive effect, suggesting that longer audit relationships may raise concerns regarding auditor independence and objectivity. Consequently, audit tenure emerges as a key determinant in auditor switching decisions, highlighting its role in maintaining the credibility and integrity of financial audits.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of audit committees, institutional ownership, and risk committees on the quality of audits in public companies. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 160 professionals involved in corporate governance through a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale (1–5). The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results show that all three independent variables—audit committee, institutional ownership, and risk committee—have significant and positive effects on audit quality. The audit committee demonstrates the strongest influence, highlighting its critical role in overseeing financial reporting and auditor performance. Institutional ownership enhances external monitoring, while the risk committee contributes through improved risk oversight. These findings underscore the importance of strong governance structures in ensuring high audit quality and financial transparency in public companies.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Return on Equity (ROE), Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), and Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) on the investment decisions of retail investors in Indonesia. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 130 retail investors through a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale (1–5). The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) version 3. The results indicate that all three financial indicators—ROE, DPR, and DAR—have a significant positive effect on investment decisions. ROE and DPR are positively perceived by investors as indicators of profitability and income stability. Interestingly, DAR also shows a positive influence, suggesting that investors may view moderate leverage as a sign of strategic growth. The model demonstrates strong explanatory power with an R² value of 0.749, highlighting that financial performance indicators are critical determinants of investment behavior among retail investors. The findings provide valuable implications for corporate financial managers, investors, and regulators aiming to enhance transparency and investor confidence in capital markets.

Abstract

This study explores how companies manage risks in their supply chains through the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Using a systematic literature review of 10 SCOPUS-indexed journal articles, the research identifies key ESG practices and their roles in mitigating environmental, social, and governance-related risks. The findings show that ESG-driven supply chain management enhances organizational resilience, reduces vulnerabilities, and builds stakeholder trust. Environmental risks are addressed through sustainable sourcing and green logistics; social risks are mitigated via ethical labor practices, supplier audits, and community engagement; and governance risks are managed through transparency, compliance frameworks, and technological solutions such as blockchain. However, implementation challenges remain, including inconsistent ESG standards, limited supplier visibility, and resource constraints, particularly for SMEs. The review concludes that while ESG integration is still evolving, it serves as a strategic tool for sustainable and resilient supply chain management in a globally uncertain environment.
