Abstract

Abstract: Audit quality is a key factor in ensuring that a company's financial reports provide accu-rate and reliable information to external stakeholders. Good audit quality helps maintain integ-rity and transparency in financial reporting, thereby influencing business decision-making. However, in recent years, especially after a series of accounting scandals involving auditors, public trust in the ability of auditors to maintain audit quality has eroded. This research aims to explain and analyze the factors influencing audit quality, particu-larly in the context of non-cyclical consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020-2022. Several key factors are the focus of this study. First, the research attempts to identify the influence of auditor tenure on audit quality. Audit tenure refers to the length of the relationship between the auditor and the audited company. Whether longer auditor tenure improves or harms audit quality is one of the questions to be answered. Second, the reputation of Public Accounting Firms (PAFs) is also considered to have a significant im-pact on audit quality. The reputation of PAFs reflects how well they perform audit tasks and instills confidence in stakeholders about audit results. Third, the amount of audit fees is also a relevant factor in this study. The size of audit fees can affect auditor independence and overall audit quality. This research also considers the role of the audit committee as a moderating vari-able in the influence of auditor tenure, PAF reputation, and audit fees on audit quality. The au-dit committee is considered an internal oversight entity that can influence how audits are con-ducted and ensure their integrity. The research method used is quantitative with a moderating technique. Secondary data from financial reports of non-cyclical consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020-2022 are used as the data source. The research sample is se-lected through purposive sampling, and data analysis is performed using SPSS software version 27. The results of this research indicate that audit tenure, PAF reputation, and audit fees do not affect audit quality. Additionally, the audit committee does not moderate the influence of audit tenure, PAF reputation, and audit fees on audit quality. The findings of this research are expected to provide deeper insights into the factors in-fluencing audit quality and the important role of the audit committee in this context. These re-sults can also serve as a guide for companies and regulatory authorities in enhancing integrity and transparency in financial reporting. In conclusion, audit quality has significant implica-tions in the business world, and this research aims to provide a better understanding of it.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze how compensation and work motivation influence employee performance within the framework of Human Resource Management (HRM). This article utilizes a literature review method to explore relevant information. Data were collected from Google Scholar, spanning the period from 2015 to 2024. The results of the analysis indicate that compensation and work motivation have a positive and significant influence and play an important role in improving employee performance. However, non-financial compensation that does not meet needs can have negative impacts, as well as the lack of work motivation provided by the company. In conclusion, throughout this literature research, the findings indicate that compensation and work motivation have a positive and significant influence and play an important role in improving employee performance. Enhancing the role of compensation and work motivation in the performance of company employees is a key factor in motivating and retaining the best talents, as well as improving overall organizational productivity.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of company size, tax planning, and corporate social responsibility on earnings management in basic material manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2018-2022. Using purposive sampling, this study involved 26 companies. The data used are secondary data from the company's financial statements. The analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression. The results show that company size and tax planning have a negative effect on earnings management, while corporate social responsibility has no effect on earnings management. This indicates that larger companies and those with more effective tax planning tend to reduce earnings management practices, whereas corporate social responsibility is not directly related to earnings management.

Therefore, this study aims to classify 17 sectors into 4 clusters, namely superior, potential, developing and underdeveloped and income inequality in Cilacap Regency. The research method used 2 analyses, namely, Location Quotient (LQ) analysis and Williamson Index (IW) analysis. The data source comes from the Central Statistics Agency of Cilacap Regency and Central Java Province, vulnerable in the 2015-2022 period. The results of the study show that the sector classification is the leading category: development and excavation, potential: processing industry, developing: 15 other sectors and lagging: no sectors are categorized as underdeveloped. The level of economic inequality in the Cilacap Regency area in 2015-2022 has decreased from 0.31 to 0.17, this indicates that the economic development of Cilacap Regency is getting closer to evenness, this is because the IW value < 0 which is close to the value of 0.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of disaster risk on the stability and the ability of rural Indonesia to mobilize third-party funds. The data used in this research comprises information from 1,502 rural banks across 283 cities or regencies in 37 provinces. Observations of these rural banks were conducted over five years, from 2019 to 2023, yielding an unbalanced panel data with 7,226 observations. The methodology employed in this study is panel data analysis using a fixed effect model. The results indicate that disaster risk has a negative and significant effect on the stability of rural banks. In contrast, the ability of rural banks to mobilize third-party funds is not affected by disaster risk. A more in-depth analysis reveals that differences in rural banks' characteristics also influence the impact of disaster risk. Rural banks located on Java Island and those not owned by the government are more significantly impacted in terms of financial stability. Meanwhile, government-owned rural banks are more affected by their ability to mobilize third-party funds. These findings suggest that rural banks located on Java Island and those not government-owned should implement better risk mitigation measures, such as collaborating with larger financial institutions for asset management, to reduce the negative impact of disaster risk on economic stability.

Abstract

The assessment of a company's financial performance involves ratio analysis, including profitability, leverage, and activity, which provides a deep understanding of the entity's financial performance and its impact on efficiency and investment feasibility, including its influence on stock prices. This research focuses on the assessment of financial performance on stock prices of state-owned construction companies (ADHI, WIKA, PTPP, WSKT) during the period 2015-2022. The purposive sampling method was used for sample selection with data in the form of published secondary data. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between variables. The results show that profitability (ROE) does not have a significant effect on stock prices, while leverage (DER) and activity (TATO) have a significant effect on stock prices. With a determinant value (R2) of 92.3%, it means that these variables contribute significantly to the stock price, while the remaining 7.7% is explained by other factors not used in this study.
