Abstract

Amid an increasingly complex global economy, information transparency is a must for an efficient market. Financial statements provide a structured depiction of a company’s position, performance, and liquidity. Among these components, net income is commonly used as the primary measure of success and serves as the basis for investment, credit assessment, and valuation decisions. However, focusing solely on earnings entails risks because not all earnings are of equal quality. Earnings quality is defined to the degree that company profit reflects firms underlying financial ability and can predict future cash flows. Earnings quality has these qualities, which is reliability, relevance persistence, and minimal managerial intervention; conversely, low-quality earnings tend to be opportunistic, unstable, and misleading to decision makers. In this study, the quality of earnings in consumer non-cyclical enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2022–2024 period will be examined in relation to capital structure, firm size, growth, and investment opportunity set. The study employs a purposive sampling strategy based on preset criteria and a non-probability sampling technique. IBM SPSS was used to analyze the data. The findings show that while business size has a considerable beneficial impact on profits quality, growth and the investment opportunity set have no discernible negative effects, and capital structure has no discernible positive impact. These results give practitioners helpful information about important areas that can be strengthened to increase the quality of company earnings.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine the relationship between sales growth, liquidity, and firm size and the capital structure of consumer non-cyclical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021 to 2024 period. The research background is rooted in the funding pressures that emerged after the COVID-19 pandemic, when rising raw material prices and higher interest rates simultaneously reduced corporate financial flexibility and increased borrowing costs for both operational and investment activities. These conditions created a dilemma for companies in this sector, as they were required to maintain business performance while facing limited funding capacity, making an assessment of internal factors influencing capital structure increasingly relevant. To obtain a more systematic empirical understanding, the study employs a quantitative approach with purposive sampling based on the availability of annual financial statements denominated in rupiah. Through this procedure, secondary data from 54 companies were collected, resulting in a total of 186 observations used for analysis. The findings show that sales growth has a positive effect on capital structure, indicating that expanding firms tend to increase their proportion of debt to support further growth. In contrast, liquidity exhibits a negative effect because greater internal funds allow firms to reduce dependence on external financing. Meanwhile, firm size does not show a significant effect, suggesting that the scale of assets is not a dominant factor in determining capital structure within the consumer non-cyclical sector during the observation period.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of audit committee characteristics on sustainability reporting in financial institutions, particularly banking companies. The characteristics analyzed include audit committee size, the frequency of audit committee meetings held annually, and gender diversity among audit committee members, with firm size incorporated as a control variable. The sample consists of 62 observations from banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) that meet the research criteria for the years 2023 and 2024. Data were obtained from the banks’ annual reports for 2023–2024 and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of EViews software. The findings indicate that audit committee size has a positive effect on sustainability reporting. The frequency of audit committee meetings shows no influence on sustainability reporting. Gender diversity also demonstrates no significant effect; however, at a more relaxed significance threshold, gender diversity exhibits a negative relationship with sustainability reporting. These results imply that banking institutions should, first, ensure that audit committees consist of a sufficient number of members. Second, they should establish mechanisms that facilitate effective meetings with full attendance. Finally, there is a need to strengthen sustainability-related literacy and understanding—particularly among female audit committee members—to enhance their contribution to sustainability oversight.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine brand image, EWOM, product quality, and price influence the purchase intention of Oppo smartphones among the people of DKI Jakarta. The sample consisted of 250 respondents who are consumers aware of Oppo smartphones in the DKI Jakarta area. Purposive sampling, with data collected through an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The collected data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) method and processed with the SmartPLS application. The results of the study indicate that brand image, electronic word of mouth, product quality, and price all have a positive influence on purchase intention. Specifically, the findings show that: (1) brand image has a positive significant on purchase intention, (2) EWOM has a positive and significant effect on intention to buy, (3) product quality has a positive not significant effect on purchase intention, and (4) price has a positive but not significant effect on purchase intention. These findings suggest that brand image and e-WOM play a dominant role in driving the purchase intention of consumers in DKI Jakarta toward Oppo smartphones. Furthermore, although product quality and price have a positive impact, they are not significant, indicating that purchase decisions are more strongly influenced by brand perception and consumer reviews on social media. This highlights the importance of branding strategies and effective e-WOM management in increasing purchase intention.

Abstract

Sustainability and corporate governance issues are increasingly crucial for investors, while strategic decisions regarding capital structure and scale of operations determine a company's resilience amid fluctuating global commodity prices. The 2020–2022 period reflects a recovery phase that demanded rapid adaptation and efficient resource allocation from energy companies. Therefore, an in-depth study is needed to determine how these internal factors influence the ability of energy companies to generate profits. This study aimed to examine the impact of ESG disclosure, leverage, and firm size on company financial performance, as measured by the ROA proxy. This study used data from 91 energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2022 to 2024. This study employed a quantitative method and a purposive sampling technique. This analysis used panel data regression model with a Random Effects Model (REM) approach, processed using the eViews program. The results of this study indicate that ESG disclosure had a negative but insignificant effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, leverage-as another independent variable-has been shown to have a negative and significant impact on company financial performance. Furthermore, firm size has been shown to have a positive and significant impact on company financial performance. To improve future research, it is recommended that researchers increase the sample size by extending the research period and/or expanding the scope of the company sector, as well as incorporating under-researched variables such as Net Interest Margin or Non Performing Loans, which have the potential to impact the company's financial performance.
