Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of earnings management and internal control on tax avoidance, with political connections as a moderating variable. The research method used is purposive sampling with a total sample of 44 obtained from 11 selected companies. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression analysis and MRA testing. The results of this study indicate that earnings management does not have a positive effect on tax avoidance, while effective internal control has a negative effect on tax avoidance. The moderating variable of political connections does not moderate the effect of earnings management on tax avoidance but can weaken the effect of internal control on tax avoidance. Internal control not only prevents fraud in financial statements but also helps avoid tax avoidance practices. The implication of this study is that information related to the effectiveness of internal control can be one of the factors in determining a company's compliance, including in financial statement management, and companies that have political connections should maintain their relationships by avoiding practices that could damage the company's reputation and image.

Abstract

This study aims to test the effect of the quality of tax authorities' services on individual taxpayer compliance, test tax sanctions on individual taxpayer compliance, test whether taxpayer awareness is able to moderate the relationship between the quality of tax authorities' services and individual taxpayer compliance, and test whether taxpayer awareness is able to moderate tax sanctions with individual taxpayer compliance. This study is a type of quantitative research with a quantitative descriptive approach. The location of this study is the North Makassar Pratama Tax Service Office. The sample in this study was 100 using a simple random sampling technique with the Slovin formula which has the criteria, namely individual taxpayers who work as permanent employees in the government or private sector, individual taxpayers who carry out freelance work in the form of business activities in the scope of MSMEs and individual taxpayers who have consulted or have experienced the services provided by tax officials (tax authorities). The data used is the type of primary data obtained through the distribution of questionnaires. The results of the study indicate that the quality of tax authorities' services and tax sanctions have a significant positive effect on individual taxpayer compliance. Analysis of the moderation variables using the absolute difference value approach shows that taxpayer awareness cannot moderate the influence of the quality of tax services on individual taxpayer compliance and can moderate the influence of tax sanctions on individual taxpayer compliance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the accountability of zakat fund management at the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) of Gowa Regency and to examine the role of the amanah (trust) metaphor in enhancing good zakat governance . This qualitative research uses a case study approach, with data obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation involving BAZNAS officials, zakat payers ( muzakki ), and recipients ( mustahik ). The data were analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that accountability practices at BAZNAS Gowa are reflected in transparent reporting, timely fund distribution, clear policy targets, and effective financial control. The application of amanah values such as honesty and fairness strengthens these practices and supports the principles of transparency, responsibility, accountability, and independence. This study concludes that integrating trust into zakat management can foster professionalism, public trust, and equitable distribution, thereby improving the overall quality of zakat governance.

Abstract

This study examines the professional ethical dilemmas faced by internal auditors within the Internal Supervisory Unit (SPI) at UIN Alauddin Makassar and their impact on the effectiveness of internal audits. This research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, and data were collected through interviews. The findings reveal that the dual roles of auditors can actually create a positive synergy between academic responsibilities and internal audit functions. Auditors face negative stigma from auditees, who perceive them as "watchdogs" or faultfinders. Auditors reported no pressure from university leadership, as all matters are entrusted to SPI. However, when audit findings directly involve the leadership, there are instances where the leadership requests that such findings be omitted from the audit report. In addition, auditors experience ethical dilemmas when auditing auditees with whom they have personal relationships. The presence of SPI and the strict application of professional ethics have contributed to enhancing the effectiveness of audits.

Abstract

Tax aggressiveness is a crucial issue in corporate governance in Indonesia because it directly impacts state revenue and corporate legitimacy in the eyes of stakeholders. Differences in corporate financial characteristics, particularly capital intensity, inventory intensity, and leverage, are thought to influence a company's tendency to manage its tax obligations. This study aims to analyze the effect of capital intensity, inventory intensity, and leverage on tax aggressiveness and examine the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a moderating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports of consumer goods manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. The study sample consisted of 80 observations selected using a purposive sampling method. Hypothesis testing was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show that capital intensity, inventory intensity, and leverage have a significant effect on tax aggressiveness. Furthermore, CSR disclosure is proven to strengthen the influence of inventory intensity and weaken the influence of capital intensity and leverage on tax aggressiveness. These findings indicate that CSR acts as a governance mechanism capable of moderating the relationship between corporate financial characteristics and tax aggressiveness. The primary contribution of this research is providing empirical evidence that CSR functions not only as a corporate social responsibility but also as a control instrument in corporate tax strategies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Tax is the main source of state revenue that plays a crucial role in supporting national development; however, individual taxpayer compliance remains a challenge in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the effect of understanding tax regulations, quality of fiscal services, and tax law enforcement on taxpayer compliance behavior, with taxpayer awareness as a moderating variable. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consisted of individual taxpayers registered at the Tax Counseling and Consultation Office (KP2KP) Pinrang, with 102 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results indicate that understanding tax regulations, quality of fiscal services, and tax law enforcement have a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance behavior. Furthermore, taxpayer awareness is proven to strengthen the influence of these variables on taxpayer compliance. These findings suggest that improving tax compliance requires not only effective regulations and law enforcement but also increased taxpayer awareness. This study contributes to the literature on tax compliance behavior and provides practical implications for policymakers in designing strategies to enhance sustainable taxpayer compliance.

Abstract

Companies that experience financial stress often face a decline in the ability to generate cash flow. In this condition, management sometimes conducts profit management to improve the company's performance, which can affect the relationship between cash flow and the potential for financial distress. This study aims to examine the role of profit management as a variable that mediates the influence of operating cash flow and free cash flow on financial distress. The research used was qualitative with a comparative causal approach. State-owned companies listed on the IDX are used as research populations for the 2020-2023 period. The samples used amounted to 8 companies, then by using purposive sampling 32 samples were obtained that were ready to be observed. The research uses secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) available through the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The findings of the study indicate that there is a direct influence of operating cash flow and free cash flow on financial distress. In addition, through profit management (intervening variables) there is an indirect influence between independent and dependent variables.
