Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of dividends on future earnings. This research uses a quantitative approach with comparative and causal methods. Secondary data is processed from the financial statements of energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2018-2022. The results of research on energy companies in Indonesia during the observation period, as well as testing and estimation using the Common Effect Model (CEM), can be concluded that dividend is positive and does not have a significant effect on future profits. Then for the control variable, profit, has an effect on future profits and the accrual variable has no effect on future profits. This indicates that dividends have a less strong effect on future earnings. Companies continue to distribute and adjust dividends, so dividends are seen more as a corporate governance mechanism than a direct signal regarding future earnings. In situations where information is highly limited and uncertain, corporate actions such as upward or downward dividend adjustments in response to current conditions can hopefully be considered as information signals.

Abstract

The growth of Sustainable Islamic Tourism is closely linked to the increased use of smart technologies in tourist destinations. This paper explores how Smart Tourism Technologies can be integrated with Islamic values within the scope of sustainable tourism by applying Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and TCCM (Theory, Context, Characteristics, Methodology) methods. The analysis reveals that while technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data are crucial in enhancing the tourist experience, the application of Islamic governance principles in these technologies remains underdeveloped. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) are frequently employed to examine how technology is adopted within the realms of halal tourism and medical tourism, but issues such as data privacy and security, which are vital for tourist satisfaction, have not been sufficiently addressed. Most research has been focused on Muslim-majority countries, yet interest in halal tourism and the adoption of smart technologies is expanding in non-Muslim countries, including China and South Korea. Although Smart Tourism Technologies are essential for enhancing tourist satisfaction and promoting tourism sustainability, there remain significant gaps in incorporating the social, cultural, and ethical dimensions of these technologies. Future research should concentrate on further understanding the role of Islamic values in tourism technologies and consider exploring innovative business models that could facilitate the creation of sustainable tourist destinations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing audit delay in the consumer cyclicals sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019–2022. Audit delay, which refers to the time lag between the end of the fiscal year and the issuance date of audited financial statements, is a critical aspect affecting the timeliness and relevance of financial reporting. The independent variables examined in this study include financial distress, the size of the public accounting firm (PAF), and auditor switching—factors that have been widely discussed in previous literature as potential determinants of audit timeliness. To address the research objectives, this study adopts a quantitative research approach, utilizing both descriptive and causal analysis techniques to explain the relationship between the selected independent variables and audit delay. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 24 companies that met the established criteria, producing a total of 96 firm-year observations over the four-year period. The empirical findings reveal that financial distress does not have a statistically significant effect on audit delay, indicating that the financial condition of the firm may not influence the timeliness of audit completion in this sector. Similarly, the size of the public accounting firm also shows no significant impact on audit delay, suggesting that larger or more reputable firms do not necessarily complete audits more efficiently. In contrast, auditor switching is found to have a positive and statistically significant effect on audit delay, implying that changes in the auditor are likely to extend the audit completion time, potentially due to the additional effort required by incoming auditors to understand the client's business and accounting systems. These findings contribute to the understanding of audit timeliness in the consumer cyclicals sector and may provide insights for regulators, investors, and company management regarding the factors that influence audit delay.

Abstract

The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has significantly transformed the landscape of modern financial management. This article aims to examine the integration of AI across various dimensions of financial management, including fundamental concepts, profit planning, asset management, capital budgeting, capital structure, dividend policy, working capital management, debt financing, mergers, corporate governance, bankruptcy, reorganization, and liquidation. The research method employed is descriptive-qualitative with a literature review approach using both national and international scientific journals. The findings indicate that AI enhances operational efficiency, improves the accuracy of financial analysis, and supports data-driven strategic decision-making. Additionally, AI offers advantages in early bankruptcy detection and planning for corporate restructuring. However, challenges such as limited digital infrastructure, data security risks, and ethical concerns regarding algorithmic bias remain significant barriers to AI implementation. Therefore, a holistic strategy involving policy development, human resource training, and responsible technology governance is essential to maximize the sustainable benefits of AI in financial management.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relevance of cash flow information in the long-term investment assessment process by considering the time value of money perspective. The study was conducted at PT Mahaka Media Tbk during the period 2020–2022, using consolidated financial statement data covering cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. The analysis methods used include cash flow evaluation, capital expenditure (CAPEX) calculation, and free cash flow (FCF) to measure the company's ability to finance its long-term investments internally. The results of the study show that PT Mahaka Media Tbk consistently experiences negative operating cash flow, which has an impact on the company's dependence on external funding to support investment. This condition affects the present value of future cash flows due to higher capital costs, thus reducing the feasibility of long-term investment. This finding emphasizes the importance of integrating cash flow information and the concept of the time value of money in investment decision making, in order to ensure that investment projects can generate added value sustainably. This study provides practical implications for financial management in formulating more effective cash flow and investment management strategies.
