This study aims to analyze and evaluate the health level of PT Bank Mega Tbk during the 2016–2023 period using the Risk-Based Bank Rating (RGEC) method. This research employs a quantitative descriptive approach with an evaluative design. The data used are secondary data obtained from audited annual financial statements published by PT Bank Mega Tbk and the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The analytical method refers to regulatory provisions by Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority, covering four assessment factors: Risk Profile (measured by Non-Performing Loan and Loan to Deposit Ratio), Good Corporate Governance (based on self-assessment reports), Earnings (measured by Return on Assets, Return on Equity, BOPO, and Net Interest Margin), and Capital (measured by Capital Adequacy Ratio). Each indicator is assessed according to regulatory criteria and integrated to determine the Composite Rating (PK). The results show that PT Bank Mega Tbk consistently achieved Composite Rating 1 (PK-1), categorized as “Very Healthy,” throughout the observation period. The Risk Profile, Capital, and most Earnings indicators demonstrate strong and stable performance, while Good Corporate Governance remains consistently in the “Healthy” category. However, the Return on Equity indicator shows relatively lower performance compared to other profitability ratios, indicating the need for more optimal utilization of equity. Overall, the findings confirm the bank’s strong financial resilience while highlighting managerial implications related to capital efficiency.

This study examines how changes in company value are affected by profitability, liquidity, and asset structure using a case study of PT Bank Central Asia Tbk from 2017 to 2024. The Fixed Asset Ratio (FAR), which serves as a proxy for asset structure, the Return on Assets (ROA), which measures profitability, and the Current Ratio (CR), which measures liquidity, are the independent variables in the Price to Book Value (PBV) ratio. The study data came from BCA's public annual financial reports, and SPSS software was used to do multiple linear regression analysis. The findings demonstrate that changes in firm valuation are significantly positively impacted by profitability, suggesting that improved profit performance fosters favorable investor attitudes. On the other hand, throughout the observation period, changes in the company's value are not significantly impacted by liquidity or asset structure. This result is consistent with some earlier research, although it varies in the area of liquidity's impact, indicating a lack of consistency among investigations. Practically speaking, banking management may utilize the study's findings to develop financial plans that emphasize boosting profitability in order to optimize business value. Academically, this study adds to the body of knowledge on the elements that influence corporate value, particularly in the Indonesian banking sector, and addresses the present research gap on the impact of liquidity and asset structure.

This study aims to examine the effects of workload, job stress, and work spirit on employee performance at PT Victory International Futures Surabaya, a financial services company operating in the highly demanding futures trading industry. Employing a quantitative descriptive–correlational approach, data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression using JASP and Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using WarpPLS, which is suitable for addressing multicollinearity issues and relatively small sample sizes (n = 37). The findings reveal that workload and job stress have significant negative effects on employee performance, whereas work spirit has a significant positive effect and emerges as the most dominant predictor. These results reinforce the Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) theory, which posits that job demands such as workload and stress can reduce performance when not balanced with adequate psychological resources like work spirit. Practically, the study recommends that management optimize workload distribution, implement stress management strategies, and strengthen employee motivation to improve performance sustainably. The study is limited by its small sample size and single-company focus, suggesting that future research should expand the organizational context and incorporate additional variables such as job satisfaction or organizational commitment.  

This study aims to examine the implementation of audit procedures on accounts payable at PT XYZ by KAP Ramli & Rekan, with a focus on compliance with Auditing Standards and effectiveness in detecting material misstatements. Accounts payable are a key component of financial statements representing the company’s obligations to suppliers, requiring accurate presentation for assessing liquidity and capital structure. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method, collecting primary data through interviews with audit staff at KAP Ramli & Rekan and secondary data from relevant literature. The findings show that the audit procedures comply with professional standards, covering comprehensive stages including engagement acceptance, audit planning, risk and materiality assessment, and substantive testing. The planning process incorporates the COSO framework for evaluating internal control, establishes audit objectives based on the five management assertions, and utilizes ATLAS software and Microsoft Excel. KAP Ramli & Rekan apply control testing and substantive procedures, including external confirmations, inspection of supporting documents, review of aging payables, and subsequent payment testing. Risk assessment indicates low inherent and control risks, while detection risk is mitigated through substantive procedures. Overall Materiality is set at 60% of revenue and profit before tax, Performance Materiality at 3% of Overall Materiality, and Threshold Materiality at 3% of Performance Materiality. The study concludes that the audit procedures implemented by KAP Ramli & Rekan align with applicable Auditing Standards and are effective in addressing audit risks related to accounts payable. The implications highlight the importance of enhancing audit quality practices, particularly the effectiveness of planning and internal control evaluation in accounts payable audits.

This study aims to see the effect of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Return on Assets (ROA) on Stock Price in PT. Wilmar Cahaya Indonesia, Tbk which is listed on the IDX during the period 2015–2022. The data used in this study is in the form of the company's annual financial statements obtained through secondary sources. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis methods, while data processing is carried out using the SPSS application. The results of the study show that partially the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) variable has a negative effect on the Share Price, while the Return on Assets (ROA) does not have a positive effect on the company's Share Price. However, the results of the simultaneous test show that DER and ROA together have a positive and significant influence on the Stock Price. These findings provide an idea that the combination of capital structure and profitability remains an important indicator in assessing the performance of a company's shares even though their partial relationships show different tendencies. In addition, this research can be a reference for investors in considering the company's fundamental condition before making investment decisions, as well as provide additional insights for management in managing the capital structure more optimally.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) on the financial performance of mining companies listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII70) for the 2020–2024 period, with the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) as a control variable. The findings show that, partially, the Environmental variable has a positive but insignificant effect on ROA, indicating that efforts in energy efficiency, waste management, and emission reduction have not yet been fully reflected in short-term profitability. In contrast, the Social variable has a significant effect on ROA, emphasizing that companies’ engagement in building stakeholder relationships, protecting employee rights, and implementing social responsibility programs contribute substantially to financial performance. The Governance variable also has a significant effect on ROA, highlighting the importance of good governance practices, transparency, and accountability in enhancing profitability. Meanwhile, the control variable DER shows no significant effect on ROA. Simultaneously, ESG performance has a significant effect on ROA, proving that integrated ESG implementation supports the profitability of mining companies. These findings confirm that ESG is not only a compliance measure with sustainability principles but also a long-term business strategy that strengthens companies’ competitiveness and serves as a crucial consideration for investors in making investment decisions.

This study examines the influence of good governance principles on village fund utilization effectiveness in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), we analyze data from 385 village officials across five provinces in Indonesia. The research integrates stewardship theory and agency theory to explain how transparency, accountability, participation, and rule of law affect village fund management performance. Results demonstrate that transparency (β=0.342, p<0.01) and accountability (β=0.287, p<0.01) significantly enhance village fund utilization effectiveness, while participation (β=0.219, p<0.05) shows moderate influence. Rule of law (β=0.156, p>0.05) does not significantly affect fund utilization, suggesting implementation challenges. The model explains 68.4% variance in village fund utilization effectiveness (R²=0.684). This study contributes to governance literature by providing empirical evidence from emerging economies and offers practical implications for policymakers to strengthen village-level financial management through enhanced transparency mechanisms and accountability systems. The findings highlight the critical role of good governance in achieving sustainable rural development goals.

This study aims to examine the influence of capital structure and liquidity on the profitability of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. Capital structure is represented by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), while liquidity is measured using the Current Ratio (CR). Profitability is assessed through Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). This research employs a quantitative approach with a causality design and uses multiple linear regression as the analytical method. The sample consists of three manufacturing companies—PT Chandra Asri Pacific Tbk (TPIA), PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM), and PT Gudang Garam Tbk (GGRM)—selected through purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. Prior to hypothesis testing, classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation were conducted, and all variables met the requirements for regression analysis. The findings reveal that DER has a negative and significant effect on both ROA and ROE, indicating that higher leverage reduces the company’s ability to generate profits. Conversely, CR has a positive and significant effect on profitability, suggesting that companies with stronger liquidity positions are more capable of sustaining operational activities and improving financial performance. The F-test results show that DER and CR simultaneously have a significant influence on profitability. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination demonstrates that more than half of the variation in profitability can be explained by the two independent variables. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of maintaining an optimal balance between debt utilization and liquidity management. Effective capital structure policies and sufficient liquidity levels are essential for enhancing profitability and ensuring financial stability within the manufacturing industry. These findings provide valuable implications for corporate decision-makers, investors, and stakeholders in formulating financial strategies that support long-term performan.  

The digital era demands that organizations be fast-moving, adaptable, and innovative. With the advancement of information technology, changes in work methods, global competition, and stakeholder demands are becoming increasingly complex. Knowledge Management (KM) plays an important role as a strategic mechanism for identifying, acquiring, storing, sharing, and utilizing knowledge to improve organizational effectiveness and efficiency. In this context, knowledge management becomes one of the important elements for organizations to enhance performance. Knowledge management is not just about collecting data or information, but how organizations can store, share, create, and utilize knowledge to gain a competitive advantage. This article aims to analyze the importance of knowledge management for organizational performance in the digital age, including how the digital era changes the dimensions of knowledge management, how knowledge management contributes to organizational performance, the challenges faced, and their implications. The data obtained for this study were gathered from observations thru interviews with relevant parties and a literature review study by examining the results of empirical research from the past five years (2020–2025). The method used was descriptive literature analysis of 15 scientific articles from accredited national journals. The analysis focuses on the relationship between knowledge management dimensions (knowledge creation, storage, sharing, and application) and organizational performance indicators (financial performance, innovation, productivity, and customer satisfaction). The study results show that the implementation of knowledge management significantly contributes to improving organizational performance, both directly thru increased efficiency and effectiveness of work processes, and indirectly thru strengthening a culture of innovation and organizational learning. This article asserts that an organization's success in the digital age is not solely determined by its ability to adopt technology, but also by its ability to manage and leverage knowledge as a strategic resource. Therefore, knowledge management needs to be systematically integrated into the organization's digital strategy, accompanied by strengthening a learning culture, human resource training, and adaptive information technology systems.

This study examines the inconsistency of merger and acquisition (M&A) impacts on financial ratio performance across sectors and evaluation methods. This literature review synthesizes ten empirical studies published between 2022 and 2025, focusing on financial indicators before and after M&A transactions. The findings show that the effect of M&A on financial performance varies widely depending on the industry context, time horizon, and analytical technique used. Studies in the technology and telecommunication sectors demonstrate significant improvements in profitability and operational efficiency, while research involving manufacturing and non-financial firms commonly reports insignificant changes in key ratios such as current ratio, total asset turnover, return on assets, and return on equity. Methodological differences also influence the reported outcomes, where long-term observations and comparative statistical testing tend to reveal a more pronounced financial impact compared to short-term assessment. These results indicate that M&A does not uniformly drive financial improvement and its success depends on post-integration strategy, sector dynamics, and measurement design. This study highlights the necessity of standardized evaluation frameworks to ensure more reliable performance interpretation in future M&A research.

This study focuses on analyzing the influence of sustainability reports, free cash flow, and sales growth on the financial performance of energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. Financial performance is measured using Return on Assets (ROA) as the main indicator to assess a company's ability to generate profits from its total assets. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between variables. The data used are documentary data with secondary data sources obtained from financial reports and company sustainability reports. A purposive sampling technique was applied to determine the research sample based on certain criteria, resulting in 95 observational data. The results show that free cash flow and sales growth have a significant influence on financial performance, indicating that the company's ability to generate free cash and increase sales directly contribute to performance improvements. Conversely, sustainability reports were not proven to have a significant effect on financial performance, so sustainability disclosure has not been a determining factor in increasing the ROA of energy sector companies during the study period.

This study aims to analyze the influence of the work environment, training, and incentives on employee performance at PT. Erela Semarang. The research population includes 877 production employees working at the company. A random sampling technique was applied to ensure representative data, resulting in a sample of 100 production employees. The study adopts a quantitative approach, with data analyzed using multiple linear regression to examine the relationship between the independent variables and employee performance as the dependent variable. The findings reveal that the work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, indicating that comfortable and supportive workplace conditions can improve productivity and job outcomes. In addition, training is proven to have a positive impact on employee performance, showing that skill development and knowledge improvement contribute to better work effectiveness. Furthermore, incentives also demonstrate a positive influence on employee performance, suggesting that financial or non-financial rewards can motivate employees to achieve higher performance levels and support organizational goals.

This study employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method following the PRISMA 2020 Statement guidelines to identify the main models and indicators used in measuring the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The literature selection process includes the stages of identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion, resulting in ten articles from reputable Q1 international journals. The analysis reveals that the most frequently used performance measurement models are integrated performance models such as the Balanced Scorecard, Performance Prism, and models based on resource capability, customer, internal process, and financial perspectives. Commonly used indicators include sales growth, profitability, market share, customer satisfaction, process flexibility, technology adoption, and business sustainability. The study concludes that although financial measures remain dominant, non-financial dimensions—such as digital capability, stakeholder engagement, and internal process effectiveness—are increasingly important for MSMEs operating in the context of global market dynamics and digital transformation. The implications of this study provide theoretical contributions to the development of MSME performance measurement frameworks and offer practical guidance for MSME managers in selecting indicators that align with the characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Break-even point analysis is conducted to assess a company's performance, providing insight into the importance of financial bookkeeping and economic analysis. It can also be used as a consideration for entrepreneurs in making decisions related to sales activities. Break-even point refers to a concept used in financial planning to determine the level of sales or revenue required to cover all costs and expenses, resulting in zero profit or loss. The PKM training is conducted in three stages: the preparation stage, where an initial survey is conducted to determine participants' knowledge of the Break-Even Point (BEP) calculation. The implementation stage, where training is provided to all fishermen on the BEP calculation. The monitoring and evaluation stage, where the implementation of the BEP calculation is monitored and the fishermen's understanding of the break-even point is evaluated. Break-even point (BEP) training is expected to improve business owners' and crew members' understanding of the BEP concept and enable them to apply BEP calculations in decision-making.

This study aims to analyze the influence of profitability, liquidity, and leverage on firm value, both partially and simultaneously. The background of this study is based on the importance of firm value as an indicator of managerial performance and a factor that attracts investor attention. The approach used is quantitative with a causal-associative research type. The data used is secondary data obtained from the financial statements of 19 companies in the healthcare sector. Based on the analysis, the results indicate that profitability has a positive and significant effect on firm value, indicating that good financial performance can increase market perception of firm value. On the other hand, liquidity and leverage do not show a significant effect on firm value. This indicates that these two factors do not significantly influence market assessments of companies in the healthcare sector that are the object of this study. However, simultaneously, all three variables are proven to have a significant effect on firm value, indicating that although their partial effects are different, all three factors have a collective contribution in shaping firm value. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that profitability is the main factor that plays a role in increasing firm value, while liquidity and leverage require further attention in a more specific context.

This study explores the comparison of higher education financing models between Indonesia and several Middle Eastern countries, aiming to understand their impact on educational success. The research employs a qualitative approach, analyzing government budgets, funding mechanisms, and educational outcomes documented in recent reports. Findings indicate significant differences in financing structures, with Middle Eastern countries often allocating higher per-student funding and implementing more diverse financial support systems such as scholarships and public-private partnerships. In contrast, Indonesia faces challenges in equitable fund distribution despite increasing budget allocations. The study reveals that effective financing positively correlates with improved educational infrastructure, faculty quality, and student performance. The implications highlight the need for Indonesia to enhance funding strategies by adopting best practices observed in the Middle East to achieve sustainable educational development and greater academic achievement.

This study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to map the dynamics, challenges, and impacts of innovation, especially driven by digitalization in the contemporary enterprise and entrepreneurial ecosystem. This SLR is important because the existing literature is still fragmented and has not yet presented an integrated synthesis in the midst of a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) business environment. Using the PRISMA methodology, 15 key articles for the 2020-2025 period were analyzed in depth. The main results show that digital innovation and entrepreneurial competence are the main determinants of MSME performance and competitiveness. There is a strong positive relationship between innovation and business performance. Interestingly, the findings indicate that individual entrepreneurial competencies often have a more direct and significant impact on performance than the results of product innovation itself. Although digitalization provides opportunities for market expansion and efficiency, MSMEs still face serious challenges in the form of digital literacy limitations and financial constraints. Educational institutions are emphasized to have a vital role in building sustainable entrepreneurial and ethical attitudes. The theoretical implication is the need for more sophisticated models to differentiate innovation impact pathways. Meanwhile, its managerial implications encourage business actors to focus on process innovation and improve adaptive competencies in order to survive global uncertainty.

The retail industry is highly influenced by the level of consumer spending, which experienced significant changes during the Covid-19 pandemic. PT Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk, as one of the leading retail companies, has sought to maintain its performance through service improvement, technological innovation, and financial management. This study aims to analyze the financial performance of PT Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk for the period 2020–2024 using profitability ratios, including Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE). The results show that both NPM and ROA recorded positive trends until 2023, with NPM peaking at 3.01% and ROA at 6.71%, although both remain below industry standards. Meanwhile, ROE reached its highest level in 2022 at 20.21% before declining in subsequent years. The simultaneous decrease in all ratios in 2024 indicates pressure on net income due to rising costs and imbalances between revenue, assets, and equity growth. Overall, PT Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk demonstrated gradual profitability improvement up to 2023; however, cost control, asset optimization, and balanced capital management strategies are required to sustain future growth.

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial performance, proxied by profitability (ROA) and liquidity (CR), on firm value measured by Tobin’s Q, with capital structure (DER) as a mediating variable. The research sample consists of 18 startup companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. The method employed is panel data regression analysis, with the best model selected through the Chow Test, Hausman Test, and Lagrange Multiplier Test. The findings indicate that profitability and liquidity have a significant effect on capital structure. However, profitability, liquidity, and capital structure are not proven to have a direct effect on firm value. Furthermore, capital structure does not serve as a mediating variable. These results suggest that traditional financial metrics are not the main factors in assessing startup valuation in the Indonesian capital market. Other aspects, such as growth prospects and innovation, appear to play a more dominant role in determining firm value
