Abstract

The Nyadran tradition, a Javanese cultural practice rooted in religious and spiritual values, serves as a metaphorical lens to expand the sustainability accounting paradigm. Using Ian G. Barbour's four perspectives framework—conflict, independence, dialogue, and integration—this study adopts a literature review approach to Nyadran analyse how the Nyadran tradition can enrich sustainability accounting. The findings reveal that Nyadran embodies core values such as ecological harmony, social responsibility, and respect for nature, which resonate deeply with the principles of sustainability. The dialogue and integration perspectives play a pivotal role in bridging the apparent gap between the spiritual essence of Nyadran and the quantitative, data-driven nature of sustainability accounting. Narratives embedded within the Nyadran tradition offer profound insights into sustainability practices, adding depth and meaning to sustainability reporting. In turn, sustainability accounting frameworks can empirically highlight the positive impacts of Nyadran cultural practices on environmental and social well-being. The implications of this research extend beyond traditional paradigms, advocating for the inclusion of moral and spiritual dimensions in sustainability accounting. By integrating Nyadran values, the framework adopts a more holistic approach, emphasising not only environmental and economic aspects but also ethical and spiritual considerations. The study’s novelty lies in its innovative combination of cultural narratives with sustainability accounting, paving the way for a more inclusive and meaningful understanding of sustainability in diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study offers a comparative analysis of public sector auditing in The Gambia and Indonesia, focusing on how centralised versus decentralised governance structures influence audit effectiveness. A qualitative comparative case study approach was applied, using semi- structured interviews with audit professionals and document analysis of national audit laws, reports, and international standards. Data were analysed thematically to uncover patterns related to political interference, resource limitations, technological constraints and institutional capacity. Key findings indicate that The Gambia’s centralised system suffers from limited audit independence, weak legal protections, and poor documentation practices. In contrast, Indonesia’s decentralised structure results in inconsistent standards, regional technology gaps, and uneven training access. Both countries experience political interference and inadequate professional development, which undermine audit quality. The research contributes to the literature by linking governance structure to audit effectiveness and institutional transparency. It offers practical implications for policymakers, including the need for legal reforms, investment in digital infrastructure, improved public engagement, and standardised training programs. These findings support governance reforms aimed at strengthening accountability and sustainable development in emerging economies.

Abstract

This study explores how company size affects CSR topics and audit quality and how they affect the performance of companies in the industrial and basic materials sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2021. There are 58 basic materials and industrial businesses that meet the sampling requirements, and they are the subjects of this quantitative study. Regression with moderate analysis is used in this study. According to this study, a company's size cannot mitigate the impact of CSR topics and audit quality on profitability. In the meantime, only the CSR topic substantially impacts profitability if audit quality and the CSR theme are only partially handled. The results of this study contribute to the body of literature on trade-off theory, which explains why businesses typically consider the trade-offs associated with a given activity. This study employs an innovative approach to quantifying the audit quality variable, using an index derived from the Indonesian Institute of Certified Public Accountants 2019. It seeks to investigate audit quality using dummy values or metrics used by public accounting firms, as well as the application and operations of these firms in delivering audit services to customers.

Abstract

This study explores integrating sustainability principles into the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) by incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) indicators. The research identifies how ESG aspects can be systematically embedded within the BSC framework to enhance company performance, promote transparency, and strengthen corporate social responsibility. This study narrows its scope to companies within the manufacturing industry to ensure coherence, given its significant contribution to the national economy and environmental impact. The sample consists of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), allowing for a more targeted application of the SBSC framework and relevant SULA indicators. These findings are expected to contribute to the practical and theoretical understanding of sustainability reporting and holistic performance measurement. Recognizing the fragmented and qualitative nature of prior sustainability performance assessments, this study introduces a holistic and data-driven framework using sustainability-linked accountability (SULA) indicators. The proposed model allows for standardized, cross-sector evaluation of ESG performance, particularly in the context of the Indonesian manufacturing industry. Based on literature analysis and empirical data, the study develops and applies a conceptual framework that integrates ESG metrics into BSC perspectives. The findings contribute to both theoretical advancement and practical implementation of comprehensive sustainability performance measurement systems.

Abstract

Disparities in education budgets across regions, limited access to remote areas, and low participation rates at all educational levels represent significant challenges for Indonesia in achieving SDG 4 by 2030. This study investigates the contribution of education function expenditure to attaining SDG 4, with corruption control as a moderating variable. Utilizing 1,016 observations of secondary data from provincial, district, and city governments during 2021–2022, the findings reveal that education budgets substantially support SDG 4 achievement. However, overly procedural corruption control mechanisms diminish the effectiveness of budget utilization by restricting the flexibility in fund allocation. The scientific contribution of this research lies in providing empirical evidence on the moderating effect of corruption control on the effectiveness of education budgets in achieving SDG 4. From a practical standpoint, the study recommends the adoption of adaptive, risk-based corruption control mechanisms such as Risk-Based Internal Audit and performance-based fund disbursement systems to strike a balance between accountability and flexibility in budget management. This study is limited to district and city-level data over  two years and focuses exclusively on the education function, thus, its findings may not fully represent conditions at the provincial level or other SDG sectors. Future research should broaden data coverage and incorporate qualitative methodologies to deepen understanding of bureaucratic processes and corruption control dynamics.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of green accounting, material flow cost accounting (MFCA), and capital structure on financial performance, with firm debt as a moderating variable. Using a quantitative approach, the research analyses secondary data from 109 basic materials sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2016–2023 period. Data were collected through documentation and analysed using Microsoft Excel and E-Views 12 with panel data regression, including model selection tests, classical assumption tests, and descriptive statistics. T-tests and the coefficient of determination (R²) were employed to assess the significance of each variable. The findings show that green accounting significantly affects financial performance, while MFCA and capital structure do not. Firm debt moderates the relationship between green accounting and financial performance but has no moderating effect on the influence of MFCA and capital structure. Theoretical implications support the view that environmental sustainability, represented by green accounting, contributes to firm value, aligning with stakeholder and legitimacy theories. Companies are encouraged to adopt green accounting as a strategic tool, particularly in environmentally intensive industries, and to consider debt structure to maximise its financial impact. Future research should investigate other sectors or external factors influencing the effectiveness of MFCA and capital structure. Broader samples and mixed methods may also enhance understanding of how environmental and financial strategies interact in corporate settings.
