Moreover, environmental accounting enables companies to optimize resource usage, reduce waste, and lower operational costs, contributing to both environmental and financial sustainability. Contribution This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on environmental accounting by providing a comprehensive analysis of its role in promoting corporate sustainability practices.

Abstract

BackgroundTransparency in financial reporting is integral to the functioning of modern financial markets, as it enables investors to make informed decisions. In an increasingly interconnected global economy, where markets are influenced by diverse factors such as regulatory standards, technological advancements, and corporate governance practices, the need for clear, reliable, and accessible financial data has become even more critical. Previous financial crises, such as the 2008 global financial meltdown, highlighted the damaging effects of inadequate transparency, leading to significant losses for investors. This study investigates the influence of financial reporting transparency on investor decision-making, exploring the interplay between regulatory compliance, technological innovation, and investor behavior. AimsThe primary aim of this study is to examine the impact of financial reporting transparency on investor decision-making, focusing on how clear and accurate financial disclosures shape investor confidence and market participation. The research seeks to explore the relationship between transparency levels, technological advancements, regulatory compliance, and investor perception across different sectors. By doing so, the study aims to provide actionable insights for firms, regulators, and investors to enhance decision-making processes in financial markets. Research MethodThis research adopts a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative insights. Quantitative data were collected from publicly available financial reports of 50 publicly listed companies across various sectors over a five-year period (2018-2022). Key financial indicators such as earnings per share (EPS), return on equity (ROE), and debt-to-equity ratios were analyzed to assess the clarity and consistency of financial disclosures. Qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 30 individual and institutional investors, focusing on their perceptions of transparency, trust in financial reports, and challenges in interpreting financial data. The data were analyzed using statistical software for quantitative insights and thematic analysis for qualitative responses. Results and ConclusionThe study reveals a strong positive correlation between financial reporting transparency and investor confidence. Firms adhering to international reporting standards (such as IFRS) tend to attract higher levels of investment and foster greater trust among investors. Additionally, the adoption of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain has been shown to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of financial disclosures, further improving transparency. Regulatory compliance also plays a significant role, with fully compliant firms experiencing higher investment flows and lower market penalties. However, challenges such as earnings management practices and perception gaps between individual and institutional investors highlight areas for improvement in financial reporting. The study concludes that enhancing transparency through clear disclosures, technological innovation, and regulatory adherence is crucial for fostering investor trust and improving decision-making. ContributionThis research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on financial transparency by providing empirical evidence of its impact on investor decision-making. It highlights the importance of transparent reporting, regulatory compliance, and technological advancements in shaping investor behavior and market dynamics. The findings offer practical recommendations for firms, regulators, and investors to enhance financial transparency and mitigate the risks associated with opacity in financial disclosures. Moreover, the study contributes to the understanding of the evolving role of technology in improving financial reporting practices, which has significant implications for the future of financial markets.

Abstract

This study explores the critical role of integrating financial literacy into community banking models as a strategic pathway to economic empowerment, particularly in the underserved and unbanked areas of Indonesia. Despite the growth of formal financial institutions, a significant portion of the population remains excluded, with community banks and microfinance institutions serving as vital last-mile solutions. However, their long-term impact is often constrained by a lack of financial knowledge and poor behavioral habits among community members. This paper emphasizes how the strategic intersection of knowledge dissemination, financial inclusion, and sustained behavior change can create more robust and sustainable community banking ecosystems. Using a qualitative research methodology that synthesizes theoretical frameworks from behavioral economics, the capability approach, and social capital theory with empirical case studies from community banks in West Java and Central Sulawesi, the research identifies key drivers and barriers to effective integration. It proposes a scalable model where educational content is co-designed with community input, delivered through localized and hybrid channels, and leveraged by local champions. This approach aims not only to increase participation in formal banking but also to foster informed financial decision-making, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and empowered local economy.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic served as a global catalyst, accelerating the need for organizational adaptability and resilience in the face of unprecedented uncertainty and disruption. This study investigates the adoption and implementation of agile management practices within Indonesian firms in the post-pandemic era. It moves beyond the traditional application of agile in software development to explore its broader role in fostering organizational flexibility, enhancing cross-functional collaboration, and driving iterative innovation across various business functions. Through a qualitative case study methodology, which includes in-depth interviews with managers and team leads from a diverse range of organizations (startups, SMEs, and multinational corporations), and a comprehensive review of organizational reports, this paper identifies key success factors, persistent challenges, and the cultural nuances influencing agile transformation in an emerging market context. The findings reveal that while agile has gained significant traction, particularly in the tech sector, its broader institutionalization is hindered by cultural resistance, skill gaps, and short-term strategic thinking. Based on this analysis, the paper proposes a strategic model for sustainable agile transformation that is specifically tailored to the Indonesian business environment, emphasizing the importance of localized frameworks, leadership buy-in, and the creation of a psychologically safe, feedback-driven culture.

Abstract

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors have emerged as a cornerstone for assessing corporate sustainability and long-term value creation. This paper delves into the critical process of integrating ESG metrics into the financial reporting ecosystem of Indonesia. It addresses the growing demand from investors, regulators, and a conscious public for corporate transparency beyond traditional financial statements. The study synthesizes a comparative analysis of leading global ESG frameworks, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Through a mixed-methods research design, which includes a comprehensive content review of 30 Indonesian listed companies' annual reports and interviews with industry experts, the paper identifies significant gaps and inconsistencies in current reporting practices. It analyzes the specific regulatory, operational, and strategic implications for Indonesian firms across various sectors. Based on these findings, the paper proposes a strategic roadmap for embedding ESG indicators into mainstream accounting and disclosure practices, advocating for a localized, harmonized framework. The ultimate aim is to demonstrate that by aligning corporate purpose with robust ESG performance, Indonesian companies can not only mitigate risks and meet stakeholder expectations but also unlock new avenues for sustainable value and long-term competitive advantage.
