Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive exploration of Integrated Reporting (IR), examining its origins, current adoption trends, and future trajectories as a response to the limitations of traditional financial reporting. By integrating financial and non-financial data, IR aims to offer a holistic view of organizational performance, emphasizing connectivity, materiality, and stakeholder engagement. Despite its theoretical promise, IR faces implementation challenges, including conceptual ambiguity, inconsistent adoption, and the non-binding nature of frameworks like the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC). The study employs a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive methodology, analyzing secondary data from peer-reviewed literature, institutional reports, and regulatory documents to map global IR adoption patterns. Findings reveal significant regional disparities, with the Asia Pacific leading in adoption (42.1%), followed by the Middle East & Africa (27.1%) and Europe (25.1%). Recent developments, such as the merger of the IIRC and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) into the Value Reporting Foundation (VRF) and the creation of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), highlight IR’s evolving role in global sustainability reporting. While IR enhances transparency and long-term value creation, its success hinges on addressing stakeholder inclusivity, standardizing materiality assessments, and fostering collaboration among regulators, investors, and corporations. The study concludes that IR represents a progressive shift in corporate reporting but requires clearer guidance and broader institutional support to realize its full potential as a tool for sustainable business practices.

Abstract

This study explores the ethical perceptions of public accountants in Jakarta when facing client pressures, employing a qualitative phenomenological approach. Through in-depth interviews with licensed auditors from mid-sized and large accounting firms, the research identifies common ethical dilemmas, decision-making processes, and the influence of organizational and cultural factors. Findings reveal that auditors frequently encounter pressures to overlook discrepancies or adjust financial statements, leading to conflicts between professional ethics and client satisfaction. The study highlights the role of firm culture, time budget pressures, and individual values in shaping ethical behavior. Strategies such as adherence to ethical guidelines, client communication, and seeking guidance from superiors were noted as key to maintaining integrity. The research underscores the need for robust ethical frameworks and continuous training to support auditors in navigating ethical challenges effectively.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of blockchain technology on financial reporting, focusing on its effects on transparency, efficiency, and audit quality. The research utilized both qualitative (semi-structured interviews) and quantitative (surveys) methods to gather data from professionals in the field of accounting and finance. The qualitative findings suggest that blockchain enhances transparency and efficiency in financial reporting processes, particularly through its immutable ledger and real-time access to transaction data. Additionally, it was found that blockchain improves audit quality by providing auditors with more reliable and verifiable data. However, the study also identified significant barriers to blockchain adoption, including regulatory uncertainty, high implementation costs, and technical integration challenges. The survey results, based on 100 respondents, confirmed these findings, with 85% agreeing that blockchain improves transparency and 78% believing it enhances efficiency. Despite these benefits, 68% of respondents cited regulatory uncertainty as a key barrier to adoption. This study contributes to the literature on blockchain's role in financial reporting and offers insights into the challenges and opportunities for blockchain implementation in the accounting and auditing fields.

Abstract

This study aims to provide empirical evidence on the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Investment Opportunity Set (IOS) on Firm Value, with Good Corporate Governance (GCG) as a moderating variable in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018–2022 period. The research population consists of all SOEs listed on the IDX within the specified period. A purposive sampling method was employed, using specific criteria determined by the researcher, resulting in a sample of 14 companies out of a total of 24. The hypotheses in this study were tested using the Outer Model and Inner Model through the SmartPLS v3.0 software. The results of the study conclude that Corporate Social Responsibility has no significant effect on Firm Value, while the Investment Opportunity Set does have a significant impact on Firm Value. Furthermore, Good Corporate Governance strengthens the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and Firm Value, but does not moderate the relationship between the Investment Opportunity Set and Firm Value.
