Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of digital transformation and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on the financial performance of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with firm size as a control variable. The increasing relevance of sustainability and digitalization strategies in enhancing corporate competitiveness in the digital economy era drives this research. While numerous studies have explored digital transformation and ESG independently, limited research has integrated both aspects within the context of emerging markets, particularly Indonesia.A quantitative research design was employed using secondary data obtained from annual reports, sustainability reports, and financial statements. Utilizing firm size as a control variable, this study attempts to investigate how the financial performance of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is affected by digital transformation and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure.  In the age of the digital economy, the growing importance of digitalization and sustainability tactics in raising corporate competitiveness is what motivates this study.  Few studies have combined digital transformation and ESG in the context of emerging markets, especially Indonesia, despite the fact that both topics have been the subject of numerous studies conducted separately. Secondary data from financial statements, sustainability reports, and annual reports was used in a quantitative study design. The results show that ESG disclosure and digital transformation both significantly and favorably affect business performance.  On the other hand, ROA is not significantly impacted by firm size, indicating that strategic digital and sustainability initiatives have a greater impact on profitability gains than does company size.  These findings demonstrate how strategically crucial it is to combine digital and ESG elements in order to increase firm value. By providing empirical data from the Indonesian capital market, where the relationship between sustainability and digital innovation is still poorly understood, the study adds to the body of existing literature.  The necessity for businesses to give clear ESG reporting and digital investments top priority as long-term value generators are examples of practical ramifications.  Furthermore, through market incentives and supportive policies, regulators are urged to promote ESG and digital adoption.

Abstract

Unstable cash flows remain a critical constraint on growth and earnings in many micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), especially in fast moving retail segments. This study examines how cash management strategies shape profitability performance in Liga Store ID Makassar, an MSME retail fashion business in Indonesia. The study objectives are to (1) identify the enterprise’s cash management practices, (2) analyze how those practices support liquidity discipline, and (3) interpret their relationship with profitability indicators. A qualitative descriptive design was used. Purposive sampling targeted key financial actors (owner and administrative finance staff). Data were obtained through in depth, semi structured interviews and corroborated with internal financial documents (cash logs, expense records, profit reports). Descriptive references to Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) informed interpretation of profitability tendencies. Results indicate that Liga Store ID applies an integrated, low cost cash control bundle: strict petty cash limits, daily Excel based transaction recording, routine monthly cash flow planning, early payment discount capture from suppliers, and spending caps linked to projected inflows. These practices help preserve liquidity, reduce leakage, and support margin improvement—as reflected in observed movements in profitability ratios across review periods. Ongoing constraints include limited digital accounting capability, uneven financial literacy, and customer payment timing gaps that sustain cash flow volatility. The study extends MSME finance literature by demonstrating that context appropriate cash management bundles can reinforce financial resilience and profitability in small retail enterprises, and offers practical guidance for upgrading cash budgeting discipline and digital recordkeeping in similar settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the calculation, withholding, and reporting of Income Tax Article 21 on the income of permanent employees at the Panambungan Health Center, as well as to assess its compliance with applicable tax regulations. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through interviews with financial staff (treasurer) and documentation of withholding slips and employee salary data. The results of the study indicate that the calculation of Income Tax Article 21 at the Panambungan Health Center is not fully in accordance with tax regulations, particularly in the use of non-taxable income (PTKP), which does not take into account each employee's dependent status. This has resulted in excessive tax withholdings (overpayments). The withholding is carried out using the gross-up method; however, there are still technical errors in the calculation. Meanwhile, the reporting of Income Tax Article 21 has been carried out in accordance with the regulations through e-filing, although the withholding slips are only provided annually, not monthly.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of information technology in the audit process and its impact on audit efficiency at the Public Accounting Firm (KAP) Adi and Deki, with a focus on the use of ATLAS. The findings reveal that the implementation of ATLAS brings significant benefits, particularly in accelerating audit data management and financial statement analysis. However, the use of this technology also faces several challenges, such as data privacy issues, system integration complexity, and the need for additional resources. Auditors also face challenges including data quality, resistance to change, and the need for specific skillsets. Moreover, data security concerns, the need for continuous technology updates, and high adoption costs are major barriers. The study also identifies changes in the audit process, such as a shift towards data-driven audits, increased reliance on data analysis, and the development of more adaptive audit techniques utilizing ATLAS. Therefore, appropriate strategies are needed to overcome these challenges and improve audit effectiveness and efficiency.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the future of technopreneurship in the context of sustainable innovation and the evolving digital economy. It aims to analyze how technopreneurs can integrate sustainability principles into technological innovation to meet global demands for greener, smarter, and more inclusive economic development. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study investigates key drivers, challenges, and strategies adopted by emerging digital entrepreneurs to balance profitability with social and environmental responsibility. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 technopreneurs aged between 25 and 40 years, actively running digital-based start-ups in Indonesia, particularly in sectors such as e-commerce, agritech, edtech, and green energy. Additional insights were obtained from three innovation experts and two policymakers in the digital economy sector. Literature review and case study analysis were also conducted to support the triangulation of data. This research utilizes the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework—People, Planet, and Profit—as an analytical lens to evaluate how digital business models can evolve to address sustainability goals while remaining competitive. SWOT and PESTEL analyses were used to identify internal capabilities and external environmental factors influencing technopreneurship. Findings reveal that technopreneurs who adopt circular economy models, utilize renewable technologies, and embed ethical digital practices tend to gain stronger market positioning, consumer trust, and long-term viability. The study concludes that sustainable innovation is not only an ethical imperative but also a strategic advantage in the digital economy. These insights offer practical recommendations for entrepreneurs, educators, and policymakers in shaping a resilient and sustainable digital future.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of investment, labor, and government expenditure on economic growth in South Sulawesi during the period 2014–2024. Using secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the analysis applies multiple linear regression and t-tests with a panel data approach processed through SPSS 25. The dependent variable is regional economic growth measured by Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) at constant prices, while the independent variables include realized investment, labor force participation, and government expenditure. The results reveal that investment shows a negative but insignificant effect on economic growth, indicating that capital inflows have not been effectively directed toward productive sectors that stimulate regional output. Labor exhibits a positive but statistically insignificant influence, suggesting that an increase in workforce quantity is not yet accompanied by sufficient productivity and skills development. Similarly, government expenditure demonstrates a negative and insignificant effect, implying inefficiencies in public spending allocation and a dominant share of non-productive expenditures. These findings highlight the structural challenges faced by South Sulawesi in translating investment, labor force expansion, and fiscal policy into tangible economic outcomes. The study contributes empirical evidence specific to the regional context and suggests that policymakers should focus on improving investment quality, enhancing human capital, and reallocating government spending toward productive sectors to achieve sustainable growth.
