This research analyses the optimisation of the electronic performance appraisal system (e-Kinerja) implementation within the context of the Civil Servant (ASN) performance management transformation at the Sidoarjo Regency Regional Civil Service Agency. The e-Kinerja system represents a digital innovation in ASN performance appraisal, developed in accordance with the Minister of State Apparatus Utilisation and Bureaucratic Reform Regulation Number 6 of 2022. This qualitative research, employing a case study approach, utilised purposive sampling for informant selection, with data gathered through participant observation and documentary analysis. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The research findings indicate that the e-Kinerja implementation faces challenges regarding system integration with the Personnel Information System (SIMPEG), synchronisation of personnel data, and equitable dissemination of information to all Civil Servants. Nevertheless, the system is proven to enhance accountability, transparency, and work productivity of Civil Servants through measurable daily reporting mechanisms and monthly targets. This study contributes theoretically to the literature on technology-based public sector performance management and practically through recommendations for developing a more integrated e-Government system. Policy implications include the necessity for accelerating the digitalisation of personnel services, strengthening the capacity of civil service human resources in digital literacy, and developing an information technology infrastructure that supports bureaucratic transformation towards a more efficient, accountable, and responsive.  

Challenges faced by accounting students in producing accurate financial statements aligned with international standards, notably due to limited English proficiency. Therefore, this study examines the influence of accounting English vocabulary mastery and accounting concept comprehension on students ability in preparing financial statements in English. This study employed a quantitative method with a survey approach and multiple linear regession analysis. The research subjects are 81 accounting department students at Politeknik Negeri Banjarmasin taken with purposive sampling. Data was collected using a questionnaire and a performance task to measure vocabulary mastery, conceptual understanding, and the ability to prepare financial statements. The findings show that accounting English vocabulary mastery has a significant positive effect on students’ ability to prepare financial statements in English, while comprehension of accounting concepts does not show a significant individual effect. The adjusted R-squared value of 0.627 indicates that both variables together explain 62.7% of the variance in students’ ability. These findings emphasize that technical vocabulary mastery is a dominant factor enabling students to apply conceptual knowledge effectively in English-based financial reporting. It also highlights the importance of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) strategies in accounting education and suggests integrating vocabulary-focused learning methods to enhance students’ readiness for global accounting practices.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia’s economic development, particularly in job creation, income distribution, and tax revenue contribution. To support MSMEs and encourage formal tax participation, the government issued Government Regulation (PP) No. 23 of 2018, which reduced the Final Income Tax (PPh Final) rate from 1% to 0.5% of gross turnover. This policy aims to increase tax compliance, reduce administrative burdens, and expand the national tax base. This study analyzes the impact of the implementation of the Final Income Tax policy on MSME taxpayer compliance, focusing on reporting and payment behavior. The findings indicate that the tax rate reduction positively influences compliance levels among MSME taxpayers. However, several challenges persist, including limited understanding of tax procedures, lack of socialization, and low digital literacy related to tax systems. Therefore, beyond lowering tax rates, continuous education, mentoring, and the enhancement of digital-based tax services are necessary to strengthen voluntary compliance. This policy is considered a strategic initiative in improving Indonesia’s tax system and supporting sustainable economic growth driven by the MSME sector.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage on profit quality with company size as a moderation variable in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019-2023 period. This research is based on the importance of profit quality as an indicator of real financial performance, as well as the phenomenon of profit management practices that can reduce the quality of financial information. The research method used was quantitative with a causal and associative approach, using secondary data from the financial statements of 65 manufacturing companies over five years. Data analysis techniques include multiple linear regression analysis and moderated regression analysis (MRA) with the help of SPSS software. The results show that profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage have a significant negative effect on the quality of profit. This indicates that the increase in these three variables tends to decrease the quality of profits, which is likely due to profit management practices to maintain the company's financial image. In addition, company size is not able to moderate the relationship between profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage to profit quality. These findings imply that the scale of the company does not affect the strength of the relationship between these variables and the quality of profits. This research makes a theoretical contribution in enriching the accounting literature regarding the factors that affect the quality of profits and the role of company size. Practically, the results of the research can be a reference for company management and investors in improving the transparency and quality of financial reporting.

This study analyzes the implementation of Income Tax Article 21 (PPh 21) before and after changes in the Average Effective Rate (TER) and Progressive Rate based on Government Regulation (PP) No. 58 of 2023 on permanent employees of PT Federal International Finance (FIFGROUP) Lampung Branch. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the conformity of the calculation and reporting of PPh 21 with the latest regulations and to identify the impact of changes in rates on employee tax obligations. The research method used a qualitative descriptive approach with primary data (interviews and observations) and secondary data (financial documents, tax regulations, and internal company reports). Comparative analysis reveals that the use of TER tends to result in higher monthly tax burdens compared to annual progressive calculations, especially in the Non-Taxable Income (PTKP) K/3 and TK/3 categories. This finding indicates the need for adjustments to the payroll system to minimize tax differences and improve the accuracy of deductions. Keywords: Article 21 Income Tax; Calculation of Article 21 Income Tax with TER and Progressive rates; PP No. 58 of 2023.

Sustainability reporting has been increasingly popular in recent years as businesses become more aware of environmental challenges. 96% of the top businesses in the world have implemented sustainability reporting practices, according to a KPMG survey. The effect of sustainability reporting practices on environmental performance is examined in this study. Sustainability reports, the implementation of GRI standards, and external assurance are used to gauge sustainability reporting procedures; firm size is used as a control variable. In this study, 305 observational data from manufacturing firm over a five-year period (2018-2022) were analysed quantitatively using binary logistic regression. The findings indicate that while the use of GRI standards has a positive and significant effect on environmental performance, sustainability reports and external assurance have no significant effect. These findings show that the implementation in GRI standards encourages business commitment to sustainable practices and transparency, both of which have a significant impact on environmental performance. In the meanwhile, external assurance and sustainability reports tend to be mostly symbolic and do not demonstrate a real commitment to environmental improvement. Environmental performance is positively impacted by the control variable, firm size. These findings suggest that a company's environmental performance is correlated with its size. As a control variable, firm size contributes to maintaining and clarifying the relationship between environmental performance and sustainability practices while ensuring objective and valid study findings. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening the quality of sustainability reporting and expanding the application of external standards and assurance to improve the credibility and accountability of corporate environmental performance in Indonesia.
