Abstract

Research related to auditor switching determinants is important to provide stakeholders with an understanding of the factors that influence auditor switching so that it can be used as a basis for their decision-making. This study aims to examine the effects of going concern audit opinions, audit delay, auditor reputation, and financial distress on auditor switching, which is proxied using dummy variables based on agency theory, in transportation and logistics companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Using purposive technique, 100 samples from 25 companies were collected. Those secondary data were obtained from financial statements for the 2020–2023 period available on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) or the sample companies’ websites and were analyzed using logistic regression in SPSS version 25. The findings show that auditor reputation has a negative effect on auditor switching, while going concern audit opinions, audit delay, and financial distress have no effect on auditor switching. This study implies that auditor reputation can guide investor and creditor decisions, and management should retain reputable auditors to uphold audit quality and trust, while considering other factors influencing auditor switching. This study enhances prior research by using the Altman Z-score for financial distress and a three-tier classification of auditor reputation that provides more comprehensive findings for stakeholders in evaluating auditor switching decisions.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess and analyze the impacts of internal audit, effectiveness, and gender diversity of the audit committee on audit fees. The data was harvested from the annual reports of 52 property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2023. The results of the analysis indicate that the audit's internal functions positively influence the audit fee. The audit committee's effectiveness was assessed by measuring its proxies with the following results. Audit committee size, audit committee’s meeting frequency, and audit committee expertise have no effect on audit fees, and the committee’s gender diversity also has no effect on the audit fee. The positive effects indicate the presence of the internal audit functions supporting the demand perspective, where the better the resources in the company, the more quality audits will be demanded. On the contrary, the absence of the effect of audit committee effectiveness and gender diversity of the audit committee on audit fees indicates an opposition to both the demand perspective and the supply perspective.

Abstract

This study offers novelty through the use of EBITDA as the primary indicator in a comparative analysis of firms in developed and developing countries during the global crisis period (2019–2023). It highlights the role of government policy interventions in neutralizing the EBITDA gap and finds that firms in developing countries exhibit higher and more stable EBITDA compared to those in developed countries—a finding that challenges conventional views in the international economics literature. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in EBITDA between firms in developed and developing countries over the past five years using an unbalanced dataset. This study covers the period from 2019 to 2023 with a research population of 3,020 firms and 6,050 observations. The results show no significant differences in EBITDA between developed and developing countries in 2020, whereas differences are evident in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023. This condition may be partly explained by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to government interventions in both countries. The analysis further shows that Indonesia has a higher average EBITDA ranking than Australia. A closer look at the descriptive statistics reveals that Australian firms are more volatile, while Indonesian firms appear far more stable.

Abstract

Fraud cases continue to rise, particularly in the local government sector, demonstrating the continued weakness of auditors in detecting fraud. This situation raises the urgency of understanding how local auditors select and use fraud detection tools that best align with their competencies. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, where data is collected through semi-structured interviews with auditors who have direct experience in examining fraud cases. This study aims to explore the experience of regional auditors in choosing fraud detection tools. The study found that Excel is the most effective tool for finding indications of fraud, and direct evidence is the most effective approach to proving fraud. The findings in this study show that the selection of fraud detection tools is highly dependent on the competence of auditors. This study presents a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews to evaluate the effectiveness of regional auditor fraud detection tools, which have not been discussed much in previous studies. This study provides implications that policymakers and supervisory institutions can optimize auditor competency through training and integrating the use of conventional tools with modern audit technology.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in development, yet face persistent barriers to financing. To address this, the Indonesian government provides the People's Business Credit (KUR) program. In 2023, significant policy reforms were introduced concerning eligibility criteria and graduation interest rates, resulting in a decline in total disbursement. This study applies descriptive analysis and two-mean difference tests using data from 33 provinces (2022–2023) to evaluate the policy’s impact. The findings show that the revised KUR policy: (1) enhances financial inclusion, (2) supports debtor graduation, and (3) contributes to achieving the national MSME credit target. These results highlight the importance of policy reform in building a sustainable MSME financing ecosystem. The novelty of this study lies in integrating macro-level statistical evidence with field-based qualitative validation to uncover structural inefficiencies in government-backed microfinance. The findings offer policymakers actionable insights to refine MSME financing frameworks, particularly in enhancing credit accessibility and aligning distribution incentives.

Abstract

A going concern audit opinion serves as an important indicator for stakeholders in evaluating a corporate entity's potential to continue its operations, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty. In Indonesia, incidents of financial distress and the risk of delisting among infrastructure companies underscore the importance of understanding the factors that shape auditors’ going concern assessments. This study examines the effect of financial distress, opinion shopping, audit tenure, institutional ownership, audit committee, and independent commissioners under the Agency Theory framework. The sample consists of 48 infrastructure companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2022, selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 144 firm-year observations. Logistic regression analysis reveals that financial distress reduces the probability of obtaining a going concern audit opinion, while having an active audit committee increases it. Opinion shopping, audit tenure, institutional ownership, and independent commissioners show no significant relationship. These findings indicate that financial conditions and the effectiveness of audit committee oversight play a key role in shaping audit opinions. Consequently, companies should mitigate financial risks, reinforce governance practices, and support regulations that limit audit engagement periods to safeguard auditor independence.

Abstract

This study aims to develop young farmers at UB Forest as souvenir wood craftsmen using a sustainable accounting model based on the triple bottom line. This study was conducted using a participatory method involving the community and youth around UB Forest. Community participation in the community service that has been implemented is quite high, indicated by the community's enthusiasm in carrying out a series of programmed activities. The results of this study are that the people (social) aspect focuses on improving the skills and insights of the community and youth around UB Forest regarding wood crafts and their potential for development. The planet (environmental) aspect focuses on utilizing UB Forest's natural resources without damaging the environment and biodiversity in UB Forest and practicing environmental sustainability. The profit (economic) aspect focuses on increasing income and creating alternative incomes for the community and youth in the UB Forest area. Increased income is obtained from the sale of wood crafts in the form of souvenirs and other products. The phenol technology aspect focuses on the introduction of new and modern technologies that can be used in the production process. Currently, modern technology cannot be used because the wood craft business is still in the development stage, so a technological needs analysis is needed first. Furthermore, the prophetic (spiritual) aspect focuses on enhancing the spirituality of the community and youth in the UB Forest area. This spiritual enhancement is implemented through religious education in the form of spiritual studies involving religious leaders.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the positive effect of Related Party Transactions (RPT) on Audit Report Lag (ARL) with political connections as the moderating variable. The population consists of non-cyclical sector companies, specifically, the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period of 2020-2022, from which 87 sample companies with a total of 132 observable secondary data of company annual reports are obtained. The results of the moderation regression analysis reveal that the RPT values in purchases and other liabilities have a negative effect on ARL. Furthermore, political connections negatively moderate the relationship between ARL and RPT in purchases, and positively moderate the relationship between ARL and RPT in purchases and receivables.

Abstract

This study aims to empirically examine the effect of leverage, profitability, financial distress, audit quality, and institutional ownership on the integrity of financial statements of banking companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020–2023. Using a quantitative approach, this research employs secondary data obtained from the companies’ annual reports published on the official IDX website and collected through documentation. A total of 164 observations were selected using the purposive sampling method and analyzed through multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that profitability significantly affects the integrity of financial statements, as it influences the transparency of financial information. However, leverage, financial distress, audit quality, and institutional ownership are found to have no significant effect on financial statement integrity, possibly because companies experiencing high leverage and financial distress tend to adopt conservative accounting practices to maintain public trust.
