This study aims to analyze the influence of Profitability, Liquidity, Leverage, Opinion Shopping, and Public Accounting Firm (KAP) Size on Going Concern Audit Opinion in property and real estate sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020–2024 period. The audit opinion going concern is an important issue because it reflects the company's ability to maintain its business continuity in the midst of economic uncertainty and increasingly complex market dynamics. The research population includes all companies in the property and real estate sectors on the IDX, with sample selection using purposive sampling techniques that resulted in 60 companies as the object of the study. The collected data was analyzed using the logistic regression method to test the influence of each independent variable on the audit opinion going concern. The results of the study show that profitability has a negative and significant effect on the audit opinion of going concern, which means that the higher the level of profitability of the company, the less likely the auditor to give an audit opinion of going concern. Furthermore, Opinion Shopping has been proven to have a positive and significant effect on going concern audit opinions, so that the practice of seeking alternative auditor opinions has the potential to increase the risk of issuing going concern opinions. Meanwhile, the variables Liquidity, Leverage, and KAP Size did not show a significant influence on the audit opinion going concern. These findings confirm that certain financial performance factors as well as management behavior in seeking auditor opinions have an important role in determining audit opinion going concern, while other factors such as the size of the KAP are not necessarily determinative.

This study aims to examine the effect of liquidity, profitability, leverage, and accounts receivable turnover on financial distress. The sample used in this study is banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021-2024 period. The population sample in this study is 47 companies. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling method, resulting in 10 companies. The type of data for this study is secondary data obtained from www.idx.co.id. The analytical method used was multiple regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that simultaneously, the variables liquidity, profitability, leverage, and accounts receivable turnover significantly influence financial distress. Partially, the liquidity variable has a negative and significant effect on financial distress, while the profitability variable has a negative and significant effect on financial distress. Leverage and accounts receivable turnover have no effect on financial distress. Furthermore, the Adjusted R-square coefficient is 95.3%, indicating that 4.7% is influenced by other variables. These findings suggest that companies with better liquidity and profitability levels have a lower probability of experiencing financial distress. This aligns with the theory that high liquidity ensures the availability of cash to meet short-term obligations, while strong profitability supports operational sustainability and investor confidence. On the other hand, leverage and accounts receivable turnover did not significantly affect financial distress, which may indicate that banking companies have a more stable debt structure and effective credit management, reducing their influence on distress conditions. This research provides practical insights for company management, investors, and regulators. For managers, maintaining optimal liquidity and profitability levels is essential to prevent financial difficulties. For investors, liquidity and profitability indicators can serve as reliable references for investment decision-making.

Banking is a key pillar of the financial system, playing a crucial role as an intermediary between those with excess funds and those in need of financing. In the context of post-pandemic economic recovery in the 2022–2024 period, bank sustainability and resilience, particularly in terms of profit-generating ability, are crucial aspects to consider. This study was conducted to analyze the extent to which capital structure and intermediation efficiency influence the profitability of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Capital structure in this study is proxied by the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), while intermediation efficiency is measured by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). The profitability indicator used is Return on Assets (ROA), which reflects a bank's effectiveness in utilizing its assets to generate profits. This research methodology uses a quantitative approach through multiple linear regression analysis with secondary data in the form of annual financial reports from 111 banks for the 2022–2024 period. The analysis results show that simultaneously, CAR and LDR variables have a significant effect on ROA. Furthermore, both variables have been shown to contribute positively to increasing bank profitability. In other words, maintaining adequate capital and efficient credit management can strengthen overall financial performance. This finding offers strategic implications for bank management in formulating capital and liquidity management policies. Optimizing these two aspects not only impacts short-term profit achievement but also contributes to the stability and sustainability of banking profitability in the long term. Therefore, banks need to ensure a strong capital strategy coupled with efficient intermediation to be more resilient in facing future economic dynamics.

This study examines control activities in the delay in the return of Community Economic Empowerment (PEM) funds in Oeba Village, which is one of the policies of the Kupang City Government with interest-free funding assistance through the Community Empowerment Institution (LPM) of Oeba Village with the aim of developing productive businesses to increase the economic potential of the community. This study aims to determine the role of control activities in handling delays in the return of funds (PEM) and to determine the factors that cause the occurrence of arrears of funds (PEM) in Oeba Village, Kota Lama District. The type of data in this study is primary data obtained directly in the form of interviews with employees of the Community Empowerment Institution in Oeba Village. The data analysis technique used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The results of the study indicate that the delay in the return of funds (PEM) in Oeba Village is largely caused by weak supervision and performance reviews, in addition, inadequate human resource development and the absence of clear performance indicators hamper program evaluation. Factors causing PEM Fund arrears include business congestion, lack of understanding, minimal assistance to PEM fund recipients, poor financial management, and sanctions that are not strictly enforced

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, firm growth, capital structure, and firm size on firm value in the infrastructure sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020–2024. The data used in this study are secondary data obtained from company financial statements. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling. The results show that profitability and firm size have a negative and significant effect on firm value. These findings indicate that increases in profitability and company scale do not automatically enhance market perceptions of firm value, possibly due to a misalignment between internal performance and investor expectations. Meanwhile, firm growth and capital structure do not have a significant effect on firm value. This suggests that the market does not yet regard growth or debt ratios as determining factors in evaluating companies in this sector. Furthermore, the results of this study highlight the importance of corporate management in managing internal factors that can influence market perceptions. Although profitability and company size negatively impact company value, this opens up opportunities for companies to focus more on communication strategies and information transparency with investors to mitigate investor expectations. Companies also need to revise their growth and capital structure policies to better align with market needs and the dynamics of the developing infrastructure sector. Furthermore, this study provides an important contribution to policymakers and financial practitioners in understanding the unique characteristics of the infrastructure sector in Indonesia. The insignificant influence of growth and capital structure suggests that external factors such as market conditions and regulations may be more dominant in determining company value in this sector. Therefore, further research could broaden its scope by incorporating macroeconomic variables or environmental and social aspects, which are currently of concern to investors in making investment decisions.

This study employs a qualitative library research method with the primary objective of analyzing the effectiveness of development administration in the management of regional budgets to support local economic development. Development administration is a crucial component in the governance process, encompassing the planning, organizing, directing, and supervising of budget utilization to ensure that resources are allocated in a targeted, efficient, and sustainable manner. Within the context of local governments, the effectiveness of budget management is considered a key indicator of the success of regional development, as it directly reflects the ability of local authorities to implement policies that foster equitable and inclusive growth. The data for this study were obtained from various scientific literature sources, including academic journals, textbooks, and relevant government policy documents addressing budgeting and regional development. The findings of the analysis highlight that successful budget management is strongly influenced by bureaucratic capacity, particularly in terms of administrative competence, professional integrity, and institutional stability. Furthermore, transparency in budget planning processes plays a significant role in building public trust and preventing misallocation of resources. Equally important is the participation of the community in monitoring and evaluating budget implementation, which ensures accountability and responsiveness to public needs. In addition, synergy between legislative and executive bodies is identified as a determining factor in strengthening checks and balances, thereby enhancing the accountability of public fund management. The study concludes that effective development administration not only supports efficient allocation of financial resources but also contributes to accelerating local economic growth, reducing social inequality, and improving community welfare. Ultimately, this research is expected to provide valuable insights and serve as a reference for local governments in formulating strategies for more optimal, transparent, and participatory budget management practices

This research aims to integrate Resource Advantage (RA) Theory with Islamic values, especially the concept of maslahah, as a strategic approach to create a sustainable and ethical competitive advantage. RA Theory emphasizes the importance of superior resource management as a key factor in achieving a competitive position in the market. However, this theory tends to be oriented towards achieving financial benefits alone without paying attention to social or ethical aspects. On the other hand, the concept of maslahah in Islam prioritizes broader welfare, including benefits for individuals, society, and the environment, as well as avoiding harm. The integration of RA Theory with the maslahah principle offers a new conceptual framework that balances business interests with social responsibility. This approach emphasizes that resource management is not only geared towards maximizing profits, but also to provide sustainable and equitable benefits for all stakeholders. Thus, companies that implement strategies based on RA Theory and maslahah are expected to be able to effectively improve marketing performance while strengthening their reputation as business entities that are committed to ethical and sharia values. Furthermore, the implementation of this integration can help companies in dealing with the dynamics of the global business environment, including sustainability issues, corporate social responsibility, and consumer demands that are increasingly critical to business practices. The results of this research are expected to make a theoretical contribution by expanding the study of marketing management that is oriented towards ethics and sustainability, as well as practical contributions in the form of strategic recommendations for sharia-based and conventional companies that want to increase competitiveness through resource management based on Islamic values. Thus, this research not only enriches the academic literature, but also becomes a practical guideline for business actors in building sustainable, competitive, and equitable businesses.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the SAP accounting information system in supporting the implementation of the Independent Learning–Independent Campus (MBKM) Internship Program at PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk, Gedangan Unit. SAP, as an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, was adopted to replace the previous desktop-based system, which had significant limitations, such as restricted local access, dependence on additional licenses, and lower integration capabilities across departments. The main objective of this research is to determine how SAP contributes to improving organizational efficiency while simultaneously providing practical learning opportunities for students participating in the MBKM internship program. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through direct observation of company operations, semi-structured interviews with student interns and field supervisors, and analysis of company documentation. The findings indicate that the use of SAP has enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and speed in recording and reporting financial transactions. Through their internship, students engaged directly in business processes, particularly in handling purchase requisitions, reimbursement procedures, and asset management activities. This exposure enabled students to develop a deeper understanding of integrated financial systems and the workflow of a large-scale agribusiness corporation. Although several technical challenges were encountered, particularly in the form of temporary network disruptions, such issues did not substantially hinder the system’s overall performance. The availability of prompt technical support from the company’s IT team minimized potential negative impacts and ensured system continuity. Beyond improving corporate financial governance, SAP also offered valuable experiential learning for interns, bridging theoretical knowledge acquired in academic settings with real-world industrial applications. Overall, the study concludes that SAP functions not only as a strategic enterprise tool for the company but also as an effective educational medium that supports the success of the MBKM internship program.

Personal financial management is an essential skill that needs to be instilled from adolescence to foster healthy and responsible financial behavior. Teenagers are often faced with situations where they must make decisions regarding money, but a lack of understanding and education about finances often leads to consumptive behavior, wastefulness, and a lack of ability to save. However, poor financial habits developed early on can carry over into adulthood and impact a person's future financial situation. Through a Community Service activity conducted by lecturers from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Wijaya Kusuma University, Surabaya (FEB UWKS) at SMA Negeri 2 Mojokerto, students were provided with education on accounting-based personal financial management. The material presented covered basic accounting principles, the importance of recording income and expenses, and how to prepare a personal financial budget. The activity methods included counseling, financial recording simulations, budget preparation, and interactive discussions, designed to encourage active participation and practical understanding. The results of the activity showed that students experienced a significant increase in understanding of the importance of financial literacy. They were also able to prepare a simple budget based on needs and priorities using a basic accounting approach. Thus, this activity is expected to make a real contribution to shaping the character, responsibility, and financial independence of the younger generation. Furthermore, similar activities can be extended to other schools to raise financial literacy awareness among students more broadly and sustainably. Furthermore, the involvement of teachers and school administrators in supporting this financial literacy program is also a crucial factor in maintaining students' desire to understand. With synergy between academics, schools, and students, financial education can become an integral part of the learning process, focusing not only on theory but also on practical application in everyday life.

This study aims to analyze the extent to which Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) 109 on Zakat Accounting has been implemented in the financial reporting of Amil Zakat Institutions. PSAK 109 is designed as a guideline to ensure that the management of zakat, infaq, and alms funds is carried out in an accountable, transparent, and Sharia-compliant manner. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation as data collection techniques, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of zakat accounting practices applied by the institution. The findings indicate that the Amil Zakat Institution has implemented most aspects of PSAK 109, particularly in the recognition, measurement, and presentation of zakat funds, which are clearly separated from non-zakat funds. This practice demonstrates a positive effort by the institution to maintain accountability and transparency in managing public funds. However, the study also reveals weaknesses in the disclosure aspect, especially in the Notes to Financial Statements (CALK), where the information provided remains limited and has not fully met the requirements of PSAK 109. Such limitations reduce the overall quality and transparency of financial reporting. The main challenges in implementing PSAK 109 include the limited number of human resources with sufficient technical knowledge of zakat accounting, the inadequacy of the existing accounting information system, and the lack of intensive technical training. These issues hinder the optimal application of PSAK 109 and may lead to inconsistent interpretations in practice. Therefore, strategic improvements are required through internal capacity building, the development of integrated accounting information systems, and continuous assistance from relevant authorities. These efforts are expected to enhance the quality of zakat financial reporting, making it more transparent, accountable, and Sharia-compliant, while also strengthening public trust in Amil Zakat Institutions as trustworthy managers of public funds.

This study aims to analyze cash management practices in Batik MSMEs in Cirebon Regency using a qualitative approach that combines direct observation and in-depth interviews with business owners. The study found that most Batik MSMEs still rely on manual cash management systems, which ultimately poses various challenges, particularly in terms of unstructured financial recording and minimal cash flow planning. This condition makes it difficult to communicate receipts and expenditures in real time, potentially leading to errors in fund management and disrupting business financial stability. Furthermore, the study revealed variations in cash receipt recording methods, such as daily or weekly recording, which are inconsistent across MSMEs. This impacts transparency and effective financial control. The lack of thorough cash flow planning also makes it difficult for business owners to deal with insufficient liquidity, especially when there is a surge in sales or sudden needs. As a result, some MSMEs experience problems meeting their payment obligations on time, including to suppliers and employees. The findings of this study highlight the importance of financial literacy education for Batik MSMEs so they can understand the basic concepts of cash management well. Furthermore, the use of digital technology, such as simple financial recording applications, is highly recommended to improve efficiency and accuracy in cash flow management. This technology implementation is expected to assist MSMEs in making more informed financial decisions and supporting the long-term sustainability of their businesses. Therefore, this study provides strategic recommendations for local governments and MSME support institutions to provide adequate training and technological facilities to strengthen financial management capacity in the batik MSME sector in Cirebon Regency.

Sharia financing is a key instrument that Islamic banks must promote in channeling third-party funds. This aligns with the basic principles of Islamic banking, which emphasize fairness, partnership, and business sustainability. Therefore, it is crucial to examine how various Islamic financing schemes impact Islamic bank profitability. This study focuses on Bank Mega Syariah, using secondary data sourced from quarterly financial reports for the period 2017 to 2024. The financing variables analyzed include musyarakah, mudharabah, murabahah, and ijarah, while profitability is measured using relevant financial performance indicators. The analysis method used is a quantitative approach using regression techniques to examine the effect of each type of financing on bank profitability. The results show that musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah-based financing have a positive and significant impact on profitability, meaning that the higher the distribution of these three types of financing, the greater their contribution to increasing bank profits. These findings indicate that the business partnership model, profit-sharing system, and profit margin stipulated in the murabahah contract significantly contribute to maintaining profit growth. Conversely, ijarah financing did not significantly impact profitability. This may be due to the characteristics of ijarah, which tends to be oriented towards fixed assets or leases, resulting in a relatively limited contribution to increasing short-term profits. Overall, this study provides important implications for Islamic bank management to further optimize the proportion of musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah financing as a strategy to boost financial performance and maintain business continuity amidst the competitive Islamic banking industry.

Human resources (HR) are a crucial component of any organization, playing a vital role in determining its development and success. One key aspect of HR management is employee performance, which reflects the quality and quantity of employee output in meeting company targets. This study focuses on PT REX Denpasar, a logistics company that experienced fluctuations in monthly revenue throughout 2023. This phenomenon indicates performance issues related to work quantity, delivery accuracy, and time efficiency. Several operational issues identified included variability in staff productivity, delays in delivery schedules, and inaccuracies in shipping data processing. To explore solutions to these challenges, the study examined the role of managerial leadership and financial incentives in improving employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. This study covered all 40 employees of PT REX Denpasar, using a comprehensive enumeration sampling method. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and a review of organizational records. Analysis was conducted using a structural path modeling approach to examine the relationships between variables. The results showed that managerial leadership had a significant effect on job satisfaction, as did the financial incentives provided by the company. Furthermore, leadership quality and compensation systems have been shown to have a positive correlation with improved employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction was found to act as a substantial mediator, strengthening the influence of leadership and compensation on performance. Thus, improving leadership quality and improving compensation mechanisms not only have a direct impact but also an indirect impact through increased job satisfaction.

This study aims to analyze the influence of derivative skills and literacy in economic mathematics on investment decisions of students in the Management Study Program. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to students. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple regression tests to determine the extent to which the studied variables influence investment decisions. The results of the multiple regression test indicate that derivative skills and economic mathematics literacy simultaneously have a significant influence on students' investment decisions. The coefficient of determination (R²) value is 0.551, which means that 55.1% of the variability in investment decisions can be explained by these two independent variables, while the remaining 44.9% is explained by other factors not examined in this study. This figure indicates that students' ability to understand and use economic mathematics concepts, especially in terms of derivatives, as well as their financial literacy, play an important role in forming rational and informed investment decisions. The results of this study indicate that mastery of economic mathematics concepts, especially derivative skills, has a direct impact on students' ability to make better and more logical investment decisions. On the other hand, financial literacy also influences how students assess and manage investments, resulting in wiser decisions. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions to integrate mathematical economics and financial literacy into their curricula to help students make more rational investment decisions and reduce potential future financial risks. Furthermore, this study also suggests the need to improve students' understanding of basic concepts in mathematical economics and financial literacy. Management study programs can strengthen their curricula by providing more in-depth training in the applications of mathematical economics, such as the use of derivatives in investment analysis.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of current asset management, specifically cash, receivables, and inventory, and its impact on a company's ability to generate profits. The study focused on companies in the automotive sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2023. The research approach used a quantitative method with secondary data sourced from annual financial reports. The study sample included 11 companies, resulting in a total of 44 observational data sets over four years. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 software to examine the relationships and influences between the study variables. The test results showed that cash management did not significantly influence profitability. This indicates that the amount of available cash does not always correlate with profit, possibly because cash funds are not optimally utilized in productive activities. Conversely, receivables management showed a negative correlation with profitability. This finding suggests that high receivables can burden cash flow and reduce a company's ability to generate profits. Meanwhile, inventory management has a positive and significant impact on profitability, indicating that good inventory control can support smooth production and sales, thereby increasing profits. Together, these three variables explained 68.4% of the variation in company profitability, while the remaining 31.6% was influenced by factors outside the model, such as operational efficiency, cost structure, and marketing strategy. These findings provide insights for automotive company management to prioritize inventory management and review cash and receivables policies to optimize financial performance.

This study aims to analyze and examine the influence of company size, profitability, and liquidity on going-concern audit opinions in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Going-concern audit opinions are important indicators provided by auditors to assess the company's future business continuity. Factors such as company size, profitability, and liquidity are often associated with the auditor's likelihood of issuing such an opinion. The research method used is a quantitative method with an associative approach. The types and sources of data used in this study are secondary data in the form of annual financial reports of companies listed on the IDX during the 2019–2023 period. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling method, namely determining samples based on certain criteria relevant to the research objectives. From this process, 375 observational data samples were obtained. Data processing and analysis were carried out using IBM SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) version 27 software, which allows for accurate and measurable statistical testing. The results of the study indicate that company size does not affect going-concern audit opinions, so the size of the company's assets is not a determining factor for auditors in issuing such an opinion. Meanwhile, profitability was shown to have a significant influence on going-concern audit opinions, with companies with higher profitability tending to receive unmodified going-concern audit opinions. Conversely, liquidity had no effect on going-concern audit opinions, indicating that the ability to meet short-term obligations is not always a primary consideration for auditors. These findings are expected to contribute to company management, auditors, and investors' understanding of the factors influencing going-concern audit opinions.  

The ability to manage family finances is a crucial aspect in realizing household economic resilience. In practice, many housewives do not have adequate knowledge and skills in budgeting, saving, and prioritizing needs wisely. This community service activity was carried out with the aim of improving family financial literacy among housewives, especially members of the Wisma Anggrek Group, Lapandan Village. The method of implementing the activity consists of three main approaches, namely counseling on basic family financial management materials, interactive discussions to explore participants' experiences and challenges, and simulations of realistic and applicable household budget preparation. The training material covers the basic principles of financial management, saving strategies, controlling expenses, and how to prioritize needs based on the scale of urgency and financial capabilities. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of the concept of family financial management. Participants are able to draw up a simple budget, recognize unnecessary expenses, and start implementing consistent saving habits. In addition, group discussions encourage the creation of spaces for sharing experiences and practical solutions among participants, which strengthens the collective spirit in building healthy financial habits. This activity has a positive impact on shaping a more planned financial mindset and behavior among housewives. It is hoped that this training will be the first step in building sustainable household economic resilience, as well as encouraging family financial independence through wise and responsible financial management.

The implementation of the Regional Government Information Sistem (Sistem Informasi Pemerintahan Daerah, SIPD) represents a strategic initiative to strengthen transparency, accountability, and efficiency in regional financial management. Designed to integrate financial data and facilitate standardized reporting across local government units, SIPD is regulated under Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 70 of 2019. However, in practice, the adoption of SIPD in various regions, including Rote Ndao Regency, encounters persistent technical and administrative challenges that limit its optimal utilization. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of SIPD in managing regional finances within Rote Ndao Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, direct observation of system operations, and analysis of relevant documents. The findings reveal that SIPD implementation in Rote Ndao generally complies with the regulatory framework, indicating that the system has been formally adopted and is operational within the expected governance structure. Nonetheless, several issues undermine its effectiveness, including frequent system errors, limited functionality in accounting and reporting modules, and delays in data entry from organizational units. These limitations affect the timeliness, accuracy, and integration of financial reports, ultimately constraining decision-making processes. The study suggests that to fully realize SIPD’s potential, strategic improvements are required. These include enhancing the capacity and skills of human resources responsible for system operation, upgrading IT infrastructure to ensure system stability, and expanding SIPD’s features to meet practical accounting and reporting needs. The research contributes valuable insights for regional governments, policymakers, and system developers, emphasizing the need for continuous system refinement, targeted training programs, and infrastructure investment. By addressing these challenges, SIPD can serve as a more reliable and sustainable tool for promoting transparent and accountable regional financial governance.

This study aims to examine the effect of Thin Capitalization, Sales Growth, and Capital Intensity on Tax Avoidance, with Institutional Ownership as a moderating variable in coal sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. The background of this study is based on the importance of tax management as a company efficiency strategy, while maintaining compliance with tax regulations. The coal industry was chosen because of its capital-intensive characteristics, fluctuating sales growth rates, and the tendency of companies to engage in aggressive tax planning. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 50 company samples during the observation period. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of E-Views 13 software to test the direct relationship between variables, and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to test the role of Institutional Ownership as a moderating variable. The results show that Thin Capitalization has no significant effect on Tax Avoidance, which indicates that high debt ratios are not always utilized by companies to reduce tax burdens. Capital Intensity also had no significant effect on Tax Avoidance, indicating that the size of fixed asset investments does not directly influence tax avoidance practices. Conversely, Sales Growth had a significant positive effect on Tax Avoidance, indicating that high sales growth tends to encourage companies to optimize tax-saving strategies. Furthermore, the results of the moderation test revealed that Institutional Ownership did not moderate the relationship between Thin Capitalization, Sales Growth, or Capital Intensity on Tax Avoidance. This finding suggests that the supervisory role of institutional shareholders is ineffective in limiting or influencing tax avoidance strategies in coal companies. This research provides implications for regulators and investors to consider non-financial factors and governance mechanisms in efforts to control tax avoidance practices in strategic sectors like coal.

This study aims to compare the financial performance of Islamic banks and conventional banks operating in Jambi Province during the 2021–2023 period. The approach used is comparative quantitative, with descriptive analysis and independent sample t-tests. Five key financial ratios were analyzed in this study: Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Operating Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO), Net Interest Margin (NIM), and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). Data were obtained from the quarterly financial reports of each sample bank, thus reflecting actual financial performance on a periodic and ongoing basis. The analysis shows significant differences in three key financial ratios: ROA, ROE, and BOPO. Conventional banks demonstrate higher levels of profitability and operational efficiency than Islamic banks. High ROA and ROE values reflect the effectiveness of conventional banks in generating profits from their assets and capital. Furthermore, lower BOPO ratios in conventional banks indicate a better ability to control operating costs. In contrast, no significant differences were found in the NIM and LDR ratios, indicating equality between the two types of banks in generating interest margins and disbursing credit or financing to customers. This finding has important implications for the development of the Islamic banking sector to be more competitive, particularly in terms of efficiency and profitability. Islamic banks are expected to improve their asset and operational management strategies to increase competitiveness amidst the dual banking system in Indonesia. This research also contributes to regulators in formulating policies that support the growth of Islamic banks in the regions. For academics and practitioners, this study broadens understanding of the dynamics of local banking financial performance and serves as a reference for further research on the effectiveness of the dual banking system in the regional context.
