Abstract

Background. An audit of financial statements is needed to ensure accountability and transparency, especially in public companies. One of the actions that undermines transparency in a report is the deliberate manipulation of financial statements by management. Aim. This study aims to analyse and predict audit quality based on factors in the Fraud Hexagon. The results are expected to make a theoretical contribution to the development of agency theory-based audit literature and a practical contribution to strengthening the role of auditors in fraud prevention and disclosure. Methods. A causal-comparative type of research, which utilised a quantitative approach, was used in this study. Using a logistic regression model, this study aims to evaluate how the components of the Fraud Hexagon impact audit quality. The population in this study is all non-financial BUMN operating in Indonesia. The sample selection was carried out using a purposive sampling technique based on specific criteria set by the researcher. This study uses secondary data on annual and financial reports of BUMN companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2015 to 2022.” Result. The factors in the fraud hexagon used in the model simultaneously significantly affect audit quality. Based on the logistic regression model used, the probability of high audit quality under certain conditions is 18.96%. Conclusion. Based on the test results obtained that: (1) The factors in hexagon fraud used in the model simultaneously have a significant effect on audit quality (2) Based on the classification results, the logistic regression model has an accuracy rate of 68.5%, which means that out of 184 observations, 126 observations were successfully classified correctly by the model (3) Factors in hexagon fraud can explain variations in the dependent variable, namely audit quality, by 24.5%. (4) Based on the logistic regression model used, it is obtained that the probability of high audit quality under certain conditions is 18.96%. Implementation. This study's results can be mapped using logistic regression to identify the main factors in the Fraud Hexagon that significantly affect audit quality

Abstract

Background. In this era of bureaucratic transformation and the digitalization of public services, the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) is increasingly required to become more adaptive, professional, and highly competitive in fulfilling its duties to serve the community. Aims. To address these challenges, a strategic approach is necessary in ASN management, one of which is the implementation of talent management. Methods. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) as a research method, beginning with identifying the problems to be discussed. This study addresses the influence of talent management on the performance of civil servants in Indonesia. The next step is to select relevant literature to discuss the issue, taking into account certain limitations under the established conditions. The search for journal literature in this study utilizes the Publish or Perish (PoP) application. Once the literature has been collected, the next step is to identify the details of some of the literature to get information related to the topic being sought. Result. The results were obtained from 11 articles related to the sought topics, which stated that talent management has a significant influence on the performance of civil servants in Indonesia. However, in its implementation, it still faces several obstacles, such as limited resources, budget constraints, and a lack of support from leadership. Therefore, to make talent management more effective, improvements are needed in policies, resource management, and communication between organizational units. Conclusion. Overall, this research demonstrates that effective talent management not only enhances individual performance but also contributes to the achievement of organizational goals. Implementation. Therefore, the government needs to strengthen talent management policies to ensure that the performance of ASN continues to improve in line with the times.

Abstract

Background. Employee performance can be utilized to assess an organization's success rate. Aims. This study aims to examine the impact of the work environment and motivation on employee performance at the Yogyakarta Technical Education Training Center (BLPT), both individually and collectively. Methods. This study used a quantitative methodology using a sample of 60 workers to analyze the population of all service personnel at the Technical Education Training Center (BLPT) in Yogyakarta. Google Forms is utilized for data collection, and URLs are disseminated via email: https://forms.gle/XHnMsDQXx9z9NSys8. The data analysis method employs t-tests, F-tests, correlation coefficients (R), determination coefficients (adjusted R-squared), instrument tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and classical assumptions. SPSS software version 25.0 for Windows is utilized for data processing. Result. A significance value of 0.001, which is less than 0.05, suggests that the motivation component has a significant impact on employee performance, according to the study's findings. A significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 indicates that workplace characteristics have a significant influence on employee performance. At the Yogyakarta Technical Education Training Center (BLPT), employee performance is profoundly influenced by motivation and the work environment, evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. A robust correlation was identified between employee performance, work environment, and motivation, as demonstrated by a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.821. The adjusted R-squared value, as ascertained by the coefficient of determination test, is 0.663, or 66.3%. Conclusion. This statistic demonstrates that motivation and work environment account for 66.3% of employee performance, while the remaining 33.7% is ascribed to factors beyond the purview of this study.

Abstract

Background. Banking and financial institutions are essential to the functioning of modern economies, serving as key drivers of economic stability and growth. In Indonesia, the banking sector holds a dominant position within the financial system, playing a vital role in the implementation of monetary policy. Aims. Ensuring a robust banking environment depends on the practical application of GCG, which is assessed using the RGEC framework, consisting of Risk Profile, Governance, Earnings, and Capital. The importance of GCG has become even more evident following financial crises, such as the 1997 monetary crisis and the 2024 Bank BJB corruption scandal, both of which highlighted serious shortcomings in oversight and transparency. Methods. The population in this study comprises all banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period from 2019 to 2023. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, a method that involves selecting participants based on specific criteria to meet the study's objectives. The criteria applied included banks listed on the IDX and those that consistently published their financial statements from 2019 to 2023. Based on these criteria, a total of 51 banking companies were selected as the research sample Result. Although banking performance has improved, issues such as inefficiency and a lack of transparency persist. Studies indicate that GCG elements—such as board structure, audit committees, and ownership models—impact financial outcomes, though findings are not always consistent. Conclusion. This research examines the impact of GCG, incorporating capital structure as a mediating factor to gain a deeper understanding of these relationships. Focusing on the banking sector underscores its critical role in the economy and its ongoing digital transformation, reinforcing the need for governance systems that foster sustainable and innovation-driven financial development

Abstract

Background. This research was conducted to identify and systematically examine the application of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis in the formulation of strategies to enhance organizational performance across various sectors. Aims. The study's focus encompasses the fields of education, public services, industry, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and hospitals. Methods. The methodology employed in this study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of ten scientific articles published between 2017 and 2024, which explicitly applies the SWOT approach. The study was conducted thematically, based on the research method, organizational sector, SWOT quadrant position, and proposed strategy. Result. The results of the study show that most organizations are in quadrant I (aggressive strategy), which describes an institution's ability to combine strengths from internal operations and opportunities from external sources to the maximum. The dominant strategy implemented includes strengthening human resources, implementing performance improvement strategies, enhancing operational process efficiency, and driving innovation in products and work systems. In addition, some studies combine SWOT with other methods such as the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) and the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA), which have been proven to enrich analysis and support decision-making accuracy. Conclusion. SWOT analysis has proven to be an effective strategic evaluation tool applicable in various organizational contexts. This study also offers practical implications for organizational leaders in designing adaptive strategies that are grounded in the organization's actual conditions. Implementation. The government and stakeholders are advised to initiate managerial training and mentoring programs to enhance organizational understanding and capacity in comprehensively implementing SWOT analysis

Abstract

Background. Aim. Through this research, it is hoped that it can be seen to what extent the variables of liquidity, leverage, and financial distress can be used as predictors in the going concern audit opinion classification. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of auditing literature and become a consideration for auditors in considering the audit opinion to be given, while supporting the transparency and legitimacy of the company in the eyes of the public. Methods. This research is quantitative research with an explanatory approach, which is to test the relationship between the independent variables (liquidity, leverage, and financial distress) on the dependent variable (going concern audit opinion). Researchers not only want to know if there is a relationship, but also want to explain how and to what extent these variables can distinguish between companies that receive going concern opinions and those that do not, using the analysis method used is Discriminant Analysis, with the aim of classifying and separating groups of companies that receive going concern opinions and those that do not. The author chose a research place in companies listed on the IDXESGL listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) 2019-2021. Result. The discriminant model is able to distinguish companies based on going concern audit opinion. The analysis results show that the discriminant model built with three variables of Financial Distress, Liquidity and Leverage is statistically significant in distinguishing companies that receive going concern opinions and those that do not. Conclusion. Based on the test results, it is found that the discriminant model is able to distinguish companies based on going concern audit opinion. The analysis results show that the discriminant model built with three variables Financial Distress, Liquidity and Leverage is statistically significant in distinguishing companies that receive going concern opinion and those that do not (Wilks' Lambda = 0.824, Sig = 0.001). Two variables are significant in distinguishing groups: Based on the Equality of Group Means test, two variables viz: Financial Distress (Sig. = 0.027), Liquidity (Sig. = 0.026) have a significant effect in distinguishing going concern opinion. While Leverage (Sig. = 0.530) is not significant. The accuracy of the model is quite high, original classification accuracy: 86.2%, cross-validation accuracy: 85.1% This shows that the discriminant function is quite reliable in classifying companies. The model is more accurate in predicting companies that do not receive a going concern opinion (88.8% accuracy) than those that receive a going concern opinion (57.1% accuracy). This indicates an imbalance in the amount of data between groups that could affect the classification results. Impelementation. The results of this study provide several practical implications that can be applied in the world of accounting, auditing, and corporate financial management, especially in the context of predicting going concern audit opinion. The finding that Financial Distress and Liquidity significantly differentiate between companies that receive a going concern opinion and those that do not, provides a basis for external auditors to use this discriminant model as an analytical tool

Abstract

Background. The effectiveness of bureaucracy and public services depends on improving the performance of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). Aims. Education and training are considered strategic tools to achieve these goals. However, empirical research has found various findings regarding the direct influence of training on performance. Methods. In an effort to study the relationship between training and ASN performance, a comparative review of a number of quantitative and qualitative studies was conducted from 2020 to 2025. Result. The analysis reveals that, although many studies demonstrate a positive and significant influence of training, other studies have found that this influence is only partial. Additional variables, such as work discipline, competence, work environment, and leadership, are identified in this analysis as factors that moderate and mediate the relationship. Conclusion. In summary, the success of training depends on the organizational context, the design of training programs, and collaboration with other components that support performance.
