Abstract

Research Purposes. The purposes of the study are to evaluate the performance of the top Environment Social and Governance (ESG) portfolios in the three largest economies and most populous countries in Asia: Indonesia, China, and India, and to capture the dynamics and payoffs of socially responsible investing (SRI) in these markets. Research Methods. The Top ESG portfolios for each country are formed by the 30 firms with the top ESG scores listed on their respective stock exchanges from 2016 to 2022, and their performance is evaluated using the five-factor Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), with a Brown portfolio of firms with no ESG scores from high-sensitive industries serving as a benchmark. Research Results and Findings. The research results indicate that the Brown portfolio consistently generates abnormal returns in three countries, indicating a high level of risk, while the abnormal returns for the Top ESG portfolio vary: none were found in Indonesia and China, but they are significant in India. The findings imply that high ESG scores provide high legitimacy in the market that could drive the stock price up, and eventually benefiting SRIs through financial rewards.

Abstract

Research Purposes. This study explores the empirical link between ESG performance and corporate tax avoidance, investigating the moderating role of directors with international experience in this relationship. Research Methods. The study analyzes ESG-focused data from Indonesian manufacturing firms, obtained from Thomson Reuters for the period 2017–2021, using a random-effects panel data regression model. Research Results and Findings. The results show the first hypothesis is not supported, revealing a positive relationship between ESG performance and tax avoidance. This implies that companies with high ESG scores may use these initiatives to manage reputational risks while engaging in tax avoidance. Conversely, the second hypothesis is supported, indicating that directors with international experience bring diverse perspectives, which enhance the negative relationship between ESG performance and tax avoidance, mitigating reputational and legitimacy risks.

Abstract

Research Purposes. The research aims to evaluate current internal audit practices, identify challenges faced by auditors, and propose strategies to enhance fraud detection and prevention. Research Methods. The study adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study design to gain an in-depth understanding of internal audit practices at ABC. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used to identify core themes related to audit practices, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. Research Results and Findings. The study highlights that ABC’s internal audit practices align with global standards, focusing on high-risk areas like procurement. However, limited resources, outdated technology, and data access issues reduce effectiveness. Expanding audit capacity, upgrading technology, enhancing training, and fostering collaboration are essential to improving fraud prevention and governance in the mining sector. This research contributes to enhancing internal audit practices in high-risk industries like mining, providing actionable recommendations to improve fraud prevention and governance frameworks, ensuring more effective and proactive audit processes.

Abstract

Research Purposes. This research examines how capital intensity, leverage, profitability, and sales growth influence effective tax rates, with institutional ownership as a moderating variable. The study measures these factors using Capital Intensity Ratio (CIR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Return on Assets (ROA), Sales Growth (SG), and Institutional Ownership (KI). Research Methods Employing quantitative methodology, the analysis uses multiple linear regression on data from 38 food and beverage companies on the IDX between 2021-2023. These companies were identified through purposive sampling techniques. Research Results and Findings. The findings indicate that capital intensity and return on assets influence the effective tax rate, while debt-to-equity ratio and sales growth show no impact. Furthermore, institutional ownership successfully moderates how capital intensity and return on assets affect the effective tax rate. However, this institutional ownership fails to moderate the relationship between debt to equity ratio, sales growth, and the effective tax rate. Therefore, this research is expected to be useful for company management in order to find out what factors affect the amount of corporate tax payments and in an effort to streamline the company's tax burden according to applicable tax regulations. This research is also expected to be a source of reference and development material for further research in the future related to factors that affect the Effective Tax Rate in Indonesia.

Abstract

Research Purposes. This study aims to examine the effect of salary, motivation, and organizational culture on auditor performance, with perceived organizational support as a moderating variable. Research Methods. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach with a survey method. The sample used was 90 auditors who work in Semarang City. Data analysis was performed with multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA). Data processing using IBM SPSS version 27 Research Results and Findings. The results showed that salary and motivation had a significant effect on auditor performance, and organizational culture had no effect on auditor performance. Meanwhile, perceived organizational support as a moderating variable shows that it strengthens motivation and organizational culture on auditor performance.

The practical implication of this research is that organizations, especially the Public Accounting Firm (KAP), need to pay more attention to efforts to increase the support felt by auditors.

Abstract

Research Purposes. This study evaluates the comparative costs of using incinerators and third-party services in medical waste management at Hospital X. Research Methods The research employs a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Research Results and Findings The findings reveal that since the incinerator malfunctioned in 2020, Hospital X has lost up to IDR 22.5 billion in revenue over five years and has incurred costs ranging from IDR 359.6 million to IDR 539.4 million for third-party services. Without an operational incinerator, waste management costs have increased, and revenue losses have persisted. Therefore, investment in repairing or procuring an incinerator is recommended to enhance waste management efficiency and ensure the hospital's financial sustainability. The implications of these findings reveal that dependence on third-party waste management leads to substantial cost burdens and long-term revenue loss. A strategic implication is the need for hospitals to reinvest in incinerator facilities to enhance cost efficiency, support sustainable waste policies, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Abstract

Research Purposes. This study aims to determine the effects of Self-Control, Overconfidence, Herding, and Mental Accounting on Investment Decisions, with Financial Literacy Serving as a moderating variable. Research Methods. The data analysis method used multiple linear regression analysis. Research Results and Findings. The results show that there is a significant effect of self-control and overconfidence on the investment decisions of young investors. Herding has no significant effect on investment decisions due to the tendency of investors to make decisions independently. Mental accounting has no significant effect on investment decisions; good planning in mental accounting does not mean that it will make investors consider every decision taken. The moderating role of financial literacy in self-control, overconfidence, and herding in investment decisions has an insignificant effect. Meanwhile, financial literacy can weaken the negative influence of mental accounting in investment decision-making. The implication of this research is the importance of strengthening self-control and education to control overconfidence in the investment decisions of young investors.
