This study examines the influence of leverage, profitability, and capital structure on earnings management in consumer non-cyclicals companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019–2023. Earnings management has become a central issue in financial reporting, as it reflects managerial discretion in presenting financial information that may not fully align with the company’s actual economic condition. Understanding the determinants of earnings management is therefore essential to enhance transparency, credibility, and stakeholder trust in corporate financial reports. The research employed a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis, with data processed through SPSS version 25. The sample consisted of 104 company-year observations, which were selected using purposive sampling techniques and subsequently refined through outlier testing to ensure data validity and reliability. The independent variables analyzed were leverage, profitability, and capital structure, while earnings management served as the dependent variable. The empirical findings demonstrate that leverage and profitability exert a significant influence on earnings management practices. Specifically, companies with higher leverage tend to engage in earnings management as a mechanism to meet financial obligations and reduce the risk of violating debt covenants. Similarly, higher profitability motivates managers to manipulate earnings in order to sustain investor confidence and maintain a favorable corporate image. In contrast, capital structure is found to have no significant effect on earnings management, indicating that financing decisions between debt and equity may not directly influence managerial behavior in financial reporting. These results highlight the importance of monitoring leverage and profitability indicators as potential predictors of earnings management. For corporate management, the findings suggest the need to implement stronger internal control systems and uphold ethical financial practices. For investors and regulators, the study provides useful insights into assessing company performance beyond reported earnings, thereby supporting more informed decision-making and promoting the integrity of capital markets.

This study aims to analyze how the elements of the Fraud Triangle, namely pressure, opportunity, and rationalization, influence the occurrence of financial statement fraud. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive approach and secondary data sources from relevant literature published in 2020–2025, this study examines various previous research findings related to the application of the Fraud Triangle theory in the industrial sector in Indonesia and internationally. The study results indicate that pressure, especially in the form of high financial targets and external pressure, is the dominant factor that triggers management to manipulate reports. Meanwhile, opportunity does not always have a significant impact on fraud due to the presence of effective internal control systems and external supervision. Rationalization has been proven to also drive fraudulent actions through moral justification by the perpetrators. This study concludes that the Fraud Triangle remains a relevant conceptual framework in understanding and detecting potential financial statement fraud, as well as providing implications for improving corporate governance and control systems.  

White-collar crime poses significant threats to corporate integrity and economic stability, particularly in emerging markets where governance structures may be less developed. This study examines the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanisms in preventing white-collar crime in emerging market contexts. Using a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis of 240 publicly listed companies across five emerging markets and qualitative case study analysis of 25 corporate fraud cases, this research evaluates the relationship between governance mechanisms and crime prevention effectiveness. The study reveals that strong board independence (β = -0.312, p < 0.001), robust internal audit functions (β = -0.267, p < 0.01), and comprehensive compliance programs (β = -0.298, p < 0.001) significantly reduce white-collar crime incidence. Companies with comprehensive governance frameworks show 58% lower fraud rates compared to those with weak governance structures. The research concludes that emerging markets can significantly reduce white-collar crime through strategic implementation of governance mechanisms, particularly emphasizing board independence, internal controls strengthening, and compliance culture development.

Late payment of accounts receivable is a serious challenge that can disrupt the stability of the company's cash flow and financial performance. This study aims to evaluate the role of risk management in minimizing late payment of accounts receivable at PT Alam Mulya, a logistics company in Surabaya. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach, through direct observation, interviews, and documentation during the five-month internship period. The results showed that the company has implemented risk management principles, such as customer identification, setting credit limits, monitoring maturity, and implementing active collection. However, the implementation has not been thorough and consistent, especially in the aspects of using digital systems, documenting credit policies, and applying sanctions for late payments. It was also found that decision interventions based on personal relationships hindered the effectiveness of risk control. This study recommends the implementation of an integrated digital system, the establishment of a written credit policy, and staff training related to risk management and collection. By strengthening comprehensive risk management, the company is expected to improve the efficiency of receivables management and maintain optimal cash flow sustainability.

The phenomenon of gang fights between groups has become a serious problem for all parties. Gang fights reflect the fragility of social control and the weak internalization of values of discipline and tolerance among teenagers. In addition, the cause of gang fights carried out by a number of students is based on pride and environmental influences that encourage them to engage in deviant behavior or even criminal acts. This study aims to describe the definition and characteristics of gang fights, examine gang fights as a form of social deviance, and identify the social deviance impacts caused by gang fights. This study uses a qualitative approach. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews and literature review. The study concluded that forms of social deviance such as gang fights are learned through intensive social interaction within peer groups, as explained by Differential Association Theory. Thus, gang fights as deviant behavior do not simply arise spontaneously, but are the result of a continuous social learning process in a supportive environment, where values of violence and group solidarity are formed and passed down from one individual to another. 

This research aims to examine and describe the implementation of a digital-based Cost of Revenue recording system at PT Alam Mulya as a logistics service company. Amid the rapid development of information technology, digital-based financial recording systems have become a strategic solution for enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in financial reporting. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing data collection techniques through literature review, direct observation, and interviews with parties involved in the company's financial recording process. The research findings indicate that the use of the Shortcut-AM application can accelerate the real-time recording of direct costs, reduce the risk of recording errors, and facilitate internal monitoring and audits. However, the effectiveness of the system still faces several challenges, such as delays in collecting supporting documents, account classification errors, and discrepancies between account mutation data and internal records. These challenges highlight the importance of cross-divisional coordination, ongoing technical training, and strengthening internal controls to ensure the system operates optimally. Thus, the digital-based recording system not only enhances operational efficiency but also serves as an essential foundation for maintaining the integrity and accountability of the company's financial reports.

Negative thinking represents a type of cognitive distortion that can negatively impact an individual's mental health and impede their ability to adapt effectively in daily life. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of three cognitive strategies self-talk, reframing, and thought stopping in managing such negative thoughts. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, this study conducted a literature review alongside participatory observation. Data were gathered by analyzing various academic articles, books, and journals focusing on these three techniques in the context of controlling negative thought patterns. Findings reveal that each technique offers unique benefits: self-talk helps in cultivating a more positive internal dialogue, reframing enables individuals to interpret problems from a more constructive angle, and thought stopping effectively halts the recurrence of negative thoughts through conscious intervention. These results indicate that these cognitive techniques can serve as practical psychological interventions for managing negative thinking.

Findings indicate that PT Bernofarm has implemented segregation of duties, tiered authorizations, and effective use of ERP for recording and disbursing funds. Nonetheless, weaknesses were found regarding the timely submission of cash transaction receipts and delays in physical document reporting, which affect data accuracy. Consequently, strengthened reporting procedures and a more comprehensive digital archiving system are recommended. This research offers practical contributions to reinforcing digital-based cash disbursement accounting systems and highlights the importance of adaptive internal control in the context of cash transactions.

This study aims to examine the role of bank account vouching procedures in maintaining the integrity of financial statements through a case study of MBKM Internship Mandiri program activities. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data were obtained from observation of recording and verification of financial transactions, documentation of supporting documents, and interviews with finance, accounting, and taxation staff. Data analysis techniques were carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that vouching is carried out systematically starting from the collection of General Ledger data, matching documents such as vouchers, transfer receipts, bank statements, and budgets, to the preparation of daily bank statements. The discussion shows that the vouching procedure functions not only as a technical control, but also as a strategic measure that strengthens transparency, accuracy of records, and compliance with accounting and taxation principles. Vouching supports documentation completeness and audit readiness, and is an important part of an effective internal control system. It has been shown to improve the accuracy of records and transparency of financial statements, while supporting the company's internal control function. This research confirms the importance of vouching as an effective preventive procedure in the financial control system

Inventory management of raw materials is a crucial aspect in the manufacturing industry, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector, as it directly affects the continuity of the production process.

This research investigates the implementation of stock opname procedures in the General Affair warehouse at PT Bernofarm Pharmaceutical Company, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer. The study responds to the problem of discrepancies in inventory data, which can disrupt operations due to inaccurate recording or delays in documentation. The objective is to analyze the effectiveness and structure of stock opname procedures in controlling non-productive inventory. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing observation and interviews with Accounting and General Affair warehouse staff to collect primary data. The findings reveal that stock opname at PT Bernofarm is conducted periodically through coordinated stages: scheduling, preparation of inventory data, physical inspection, data reconciliation, reporting, and inventory adjustment. The procedures are carried out collaboratively between the Accounting and General Affair divisions, with clearly defined responsibilities and documentation such as stock cards, credit memos, and goods receipts. Despite a difference in theoretical and practical implementation—where inventory recording is managed by warehouse staff rather than accounting—the presence of functional segregation and supervisory checks ensures effective internal control. The study concludes that a structured and consistent stock opname process improves data accuracy, minimizes discrepancies, and enhances accountability. This research is limited to non-productive inventory in a single company division, and further studies are suggested to explore digital solutions or comparative analyses across industries.

This study aims to analyze the determinants of the quality of government financial reports with a focus on the role of human resource (HR) competency through a systematic literature review. Based on the analysis of 10 selected articles, it was found that HR competency has a variety of influences on the quality of financial reports, ranging from significant positive to insignificant, depending on the context and moderating variables. Several studies have shown that human resource competency has a direct or indirect effect through mediators such as information quality or internal control systems. On the other hand, other studies have revealed that factors such as information technology, accounting systems, and internal control often have a more dominant impact. These findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach that combines improving HR competency with strengthening supporting systems to achieve optimal financial report quality. The implications of this research can be a reference for the government and stakeholders in designing effective HR development and financial governance policies.

The Indonesian criminal justice system upholds the principle of legal certainty to ensure the protection of the rights of all parties involved in legal proceedings. One of the recurring issues is the ambiguity regarding the timeframe for Investigators to submit case files to Public Prosecutors, particularly in minor offense cases. Article 110 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) merely states the word "immediately" without specifying a definite time limit, creating opportunities for delays without firm legal consequences. This research employs a normative juridical method with a conceptual and evaluative approach to analyze statutory provisions and their practical application in Indonesia. The findings reveal that although ethical and disciplinary sanctions are regulated within internal police regulations, there is no explicit legal norm governing sanctions for Investigators who fail to promptly submit case files. Consequently, it is necessary to revise Article 110 of KUHAP by establishing a clear and binding timeframe, while strengthening both internal and external supervisory mechanisms to uphold legal certainty and enhance the effectiveness of the criminal justice system. Furthermore, public participation through digital media can serve as a form of social control over the negligence of law enforcement officers in Indonesia.
