Abstract

Taxation policies, digital economy expansion, and sustainability initiatives are key determinants of global economic growth. This study investigates their combined impact through a qualitative case study in Indonesia. The research employs in-depth interviews with academics, economists, policymakers, and business leaders to explore how these factors shape economic development. Findings reveal that taxation policies significantly influence investment and consumption, with excessive tax burdens potentially stifling economic growth. The rise of the digital economy has reshaped labor markets, leading to both employment displacement and new job opportunities requiring digital competencies. Sustainability policies, while essential for long-term economic stability, necessitate inclusive strategies to avoid disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by highlighting the interconnectedness of fiscal, digital, and sustainability policies in driving economic growth. It emphasizes the need for policymakers to design balanced tax structures, invest in digital skills development, and implement sustainability policies that promote equitable economic progress. Future research should assess long-term trends in taxation, digital transformation, and sustainability on macroeconomic stability and social equity.

Abstract

Foreign exchange (FX) risk management is crucial for firms operating in global markets, as currency fluctuations can significantly impact financial performance. This study explores the key determinants influencing firms' hedging decisions, the role of managerial characteristics, and the effectiveness of hedging strategies. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with financial executives and risk managers. The findings indicate that firms with higher foreign debt exposure and liquidity constraints are more likely to hedge against FX risks. Additionally, managerial risk aversion plays a critical role in determining hedging behavior, aligning with agency theory predictions. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of integrating both financial and operational hedging strategies to optimize FX risk management. While large firms have better access to sophisticated hedging instruments, SMEs face significant challenges in managing FX exposure due to resource limitations. The study suggests that policymakers should enhance access to hedging tools for SMEs to improve financial resilience. These findings contribute to the existing literature on FX risk management by providing empirical evidence on the interplay between firm-specific factors, managerial characteristics, and hedging effectiveness. Future research should consider longitudinal studies to examine the dynamic nature of FX risk exposure and assess the long-term impact of hedging practices on firm performance.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between income tax policies and economic growth in Indonesia, focusing on their effects on investment, business expansion, and household consumption. While income tax is a fundamental instrument for fiscal revenue, excessive taxation may hinder private sector growth and reduce consumer spending, ultimately affecting overall economic stability. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining econometric modeling with qualitative interviews from key stakeholders, including government officials, economists, business owners, and financial consultants. Findings indicate that higher income tax rates can negatively impact investment and corporate expansion, particularly among SMEs. However, tax incentives and compliance enhancements contribute to improved economic activity. The study also highlights the role of digitalization in streamlining tax compliance and increasing government revenues without overburdening businesses. Furthermore, tax policy adjustments, including targeted incentives and simplified tax structures, are essential to balancing fiscal sustainability and economic growth. These findings emphasize the importance of tax policy reforms that foster a business-friendly environment while ensuring adequate government revenue. The study contributes to fiscal policy literature by providing empirical insights and policy recommendations. Future research should examine comparative tax policies in emerging economies and the long-term impact of tax reforms on economic resilience

Abstract

The growing importance of non-financial disclosure in enhancing corporate transparency and investor trust has led to significant interest in ESG and Integrated Reporting (IR) frameworks. This narrative review aims to evaluate the extent to which ESG reporting, IR, stakeholder engagement, and global reporting standards impact the value relevance of corporate disclosures. Literature was sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using systematic keyword combinations and inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed studies related to financial reporting, value relevance, and investor decision-making. Findings confirm that ESG and IR significantly increase investor confi dence by reducing information asymmetry, providing a more holistic understanding of corporate performance, and aligning long-term sustainability with financial outcomes. Stakeholder engagement and the use of global standards like IFRS and GRI further support consistency and comparability of disclosures across regions. However, challenges such as regulatory fragmentation, varying industry practices, and disparities in technological capacity hinder universal adoption. The study highlights the necessity for regulatory harmonization, increased financial literacy, and digital transformation as critical enablers for effective value communication. It calls for future research to deepen understanding of sectoral variations and technological integration in ESG monitoring. The review ultimately emphasizes the need for inclusive, standardized, and transparent reporting to strengthen global investor confidence and sustainable economic growth.

Abstract

This narrative review explores the dynamics of social accountability within public sector accounting by synthesizing empirical studies and theoretical frameworks across multiple countries. The objective is to identify key drivers and systemic barriers that influence the effectiveness of social accountability mechanisms. Drawing on literature from databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed, the study employs a thematic analysis to examine the roles of public participation, digital governance, cultural norms, fiscal transparency, and regulatory frameworks. Results indicate that public engagement, when supported by digital platforms and inclusive policies, significantly enhances transparency and institutional trust. However, challenges persist, especially in developing countries, where bureaucratic rigidity, limited resources, and misalignment between global standards and local values hinder reform efforts. The discussion underscores the necessity for integrated governance models that emphasize participatory and transparent processes tailored to sociocultural contexts. Key systemic factors such as independent oversight institutions, technological capacity, and ethical leadership emerge as crucial enablers. The findings suggest that strengthening internal institutional capacity, realigning regulatory reforms with societal expectations, and leveraging technology are essential for advancing social accountability. This review calls for further empirical studies to develop adaptive, context-sensitive frameworks that embed social values in public financial reporting. Ultimately, a people-centered, interdisciplinary approach is imperative for transforming public sector governance into a more accountable and transparent system.

Abstract

This narrative review explores the evolving landscape of sustainable cost accounting by analyzing key economic, socio-cultural, and regulatory drivers that shape its adoption. The study aims to synthesize empirical findings and theoretical insights to understand the systemic enablers and barriers influencing transformation efforts. Methodologically, the review follows a thematic synthesis of peer-reviewed literature, examining how innovations in technology, institutional frameworks, and organizational dynamics interact with sustainability objectives. Findings reveal that integrating environmental and social externalities into cost accounting enhances operational efficiency, financial transparency, and stakeholder trust. Digital tools such as cloud analytics and real-time reporting are identified as enablers that reduce operational costs and improve decision-making accuracy. However, conceptual fragmentation, resistance to change, and lack of methodological standardization hinder widespread implementation. The discussion underscores the role of regulatory institutions, global reporting standards, and stakeholder expectations in facilitating systemic transformation. Investment in digital infrastructure and cross-sectoral partnerships is recommended to overcome institutional inertia and scale implementation. Moreover, emerging evidence supports the need for integrated reporting models and predictive technologies to measure long-term sustainability impacts. In conclusion, transitioning to sustainable cost accounting requires a multidimensional approach, combining technological innovation, institutional support, and cultural adaptation. This review provides a foundation for future research and policy aimed at achieving transparent, accountable, and sustainability-driven cost accounting practices.

Abstract

This narrative review investigates the synergistic role of social, economic, and institutional factors in influencing the success of sustainable waste management strategies. The study aims to explore how the interaction of these multidimensional variables can either facilitate or hinder the implementation of effective environmental policies. Using a qualitative synthesis of peer-reviewed literature, the review integrates empirical findings and theoretical frameworks to identify thematic patterns and systemic barriers. The results reveal that while social engagement and community-based collaboration enhance policy acceptance and operational cohesion, economic factors such as funding availability, investment in green technology, and fiscal incentives critically determine policy feasibility. At the institutional level, transparency, coordination, and the adoption of non-financial performance evaluation methods significantly strengthen governance frameworks. However, persistent challenges such as fragmented regulations, resistance to technology adoption, and inadequate inter-agency communication continue to undermine policy success. The discussion emphasizes the need for integrative strategies that bridge these dimensions through cross-sectoral collaboration, digital innovation, and participatory governance. Ultimately, the findings advocate for a shift from reactive, siloed policymaking to proactive, system-level interventions that address structural constraints. This study offers strategic recommendations and a conceptual foundation for future research and policymaking aimed at promoting holistic, resilient, and scalable sustainability practices.
