This study analyzes the financial performance and condition of the Sungai Penuh City Government from 2017 to 2023. Financial performance is measured using key ratios such as independence, effectiveness, efficiency, activity, growth, and solvency. Financial condition is assessed through the Brown Model (10-Point Test). Using a descriptive quantitative approach, the research is based on secondary data from APBD realization reports. The results show fluctuating performance, with high fiscal dependence on central government transfers and inconsistent growth in PAD and spending efficiency. The city's financial condition is categorized as moderate, with solvency as a critical concern. Supported by legitimacy and signaling theories, the study emphasizes the importance of transparency and financial strategy to build public trust and improve regional fiscal health.

Using a case study of the Food and Beverage industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2017 and 2022, this study seeks to examine the partial impact of financial performance on stock prices through Earnings Per Share (EPS). Ratios like Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), EPS, and share prices are used to gauge financial performance. Using a saturated sampling method, 18 firms were chosen for the sample. Using a quantitative technique with a descriptive approach, this study performs data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the aid of SmartPLS version 3. 0. According to the study's findings, ROA has a considerable impact on EPS but not on share values. ROE has no discernible impact on stock prices or EPS. Nevertheless, EPS is shown to be a mediating variable between ROA and ROE, both of which have a substantial impact on share values. Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of financial management is one of the recommendations, particularly in areas that have an impact on EPS, such as capital structure and profitability. When making investment decisions, investors should pay attention to financial performance metrics like stock values, EPS, ROA, and ROE. To gain a more thorough analysis, future academics are urged to consider more variables, such the Price to Earnings Ratio, Dividend Payout Ratio, and external elements such as inflation and interest rates.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Sarang Burung Village Government's financial performance for the fiscal year 2020–2023 in the Jambi Luar Kota District of the Muaro Jambi Regency. Six financial ratios—the Degree of Decentralization Ratio, Village Financial Independence Ratio, Village Financial Dependency Ratio, PADes Effectiveness Ratio, Expenditure Efficiency Ratio, and Revenue Growth Ratio—will be used in this study to examine Sarang Burung Village's financial performance. The Realization Report of the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBDes) of Sarang Burung Village, Jambi Luar Kota District, Muaro Jambi Regency, for the fiscal years 2020–2023 is the source of secondary data used in this quantitative descriptive study. The study's findings indicate that the Sarang Burung Village Government's financial performance is classified as extremely poor based on the Degree of Decentralization Ratio, very low for the Village Financial Independence Ratio, very high for the Village Financial Dependency Ratio, ineffective for the PADes Effectiveness Ratio, less efficient for the Spending Efficiency Ratio, and not good for the PADes Growth Ratio. The SWOT Analysis employs the S-T strategy, which leverages internal strengths to counter external threats.

This study aims to examine the effect of firm value on stock returns. The data used in this research are secondary data obtained from company financial statements, including book value, net income, number of shares, and market price of shares during the period 2020–2024. The sample consists of 20 food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, observed over a five-year period, resulting in a total of 100 observations (20 companies × 5 years). The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Firm value is measured using the Price to Book Value (PBV) ratio and the Price Earnings Ratio (PER), while stock return is calculated by taking the price at time t minus the price at time t–1, then divided by the price at time t–1. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the study indicate that PBV has a positive and significant effect on stock returns, whereas PER does not have a significant impact. These findings suggest that firm value, as reflected by PBV, has a more consistent influence on stock returns compared to PER. This may be due to the fluctuating nature of profits, stock prices, and the number of shares outstanding, which vary across large and small companies in the food and beverage sector. Therefore, this study recommends incorporating additional variables, such as firm size and the liquidity of outstanding shares (free float), to minimize potential bias in the analysis.

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial variables—namely firm size, profitability, and capital structure (debt to equity ratio)—on dividend policy in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2019–2023. The method used is multiple linear regression with secondary data obtained from financial statements and annual reports, selected through purposive sampling, comprising 13 companies and 65 observations. The analysis results indicate that firm size has a significant positive effect on dividend policy, while profitability (ROA) and capital structure (debt to equity ratio) have significant negative effects. These findings confirm that larger firms tend to pay higher dividends, whereas high profitability and leverage exert downward pressure on dividend policy. This study contributes to the development of financial literature concerning the determinants of dividend policy in the energy sector.

This study examines the effect of liquidity, leverage, cash flow, and managerial agency cost on financial distress among manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Using multiple linear regression analysis, the results show that liquidity and cash flow have a significant negative effect on financial distress, indicating that firms with higher current ratios and stronger operating cash flows are less likely to experience financial difficulties. In contrast, leverage and managerial agency costs have a significant positive effect, suggesting that excessive debt and inefficient managerial spending increase the likelihood of financial distress. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.983 indicates that these four variables explain 98.3% of the variation in financial distress. The findings emphasize the importance of maintaining financial efficiency and controlling agency costs to enhance corporate financial stability.

 A brand is one of the most valuable intellectual assets in the business sector, serving not only as a product identity but also as a reflection of reputation and quality. However, the increasing phenomenon of brand infringement indicates the urgent need for stronger and more effective legal protection. Brand infringement brings various negative consequences, including loss of consumer trust, unfair competition, and significant financial losses for brand owners. This study aims to analyze brand infringement from a criminological perspective, identify causal factors, and evaluate the role of law in addressing such violations. The research employs normative legal methods through analysis of statutory regulations, legal and criminological theories, and a literature-based approach using secondary data obtained from books, journals, and legal documents. The findings reveal that criminology provides relevant insights through theories such as Rational Choice Theory, which explains that perpetrators calculate the risks and benefits before committing the violation, and Anomie Strain Theory, which highlights how the inability to achieve economic or social goals legally can drive individuals or groups to commit brand infringement. The classification of violations includes imitation, counterfeiting, misuse, and unlawful exploitation of brand rights. Several causal factors were identified, including weak legal supervision, limited enforcement, and the high consumer demand for cheaper counterfeit products. Furthermore, the study underlines the essential role of the criminal justice system in addressing brand infringement through the enforcement of criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions as regulated under Law Number 20 of 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications. In conclusion, brand infringement is not merely a legal issue but also a criminological problem that requires comprehensive handling through effective law enforcement, stronger supervision, and increased public awareness to protect intellectual property and ensure fair business practices.

This research examines the governance of the National Amil Zakat Agency of Barito Kuala Regency as an effort to optimize transparent, professional, and sharia-compliant zakat management. Although South Kalimantan has the highest zakat potential in Kalimantan Island, its zakat realization is still far from the target, reflecting the challenges of public trust and the effectiveness of the institution's governance. This study aims to evaluate the governance of Barito Kuala National Amil Zakat Agency using three main indicators: Zakat Core Principles Index, Sharia Compliance Index of Zakat Management Organization, and Financial Ratio Analysis. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, data was collected through observation and internal document analysis. The result shows that the implementation of Zakat Core Principle scores 0.44 (good enough category), while sharia compliance scores 0.72 (good category), and financial ratio shows high efficiency and effectiveness in collecting and distributing zakat. Important findings reveal that the suboptimal documentation of Operational Procedur Standard, absence of internal audit, and high operational burden become obstacles to ideal governance. Although the management of zakat in Barito Kuala National Amil Zakat Agency has been running according to regulations and sharia principles, improvement of institutional structure, documentation, efficiency of human resources, and transparency of financial statements are needed. This research provides a practical contribution as an internal evaluation of the institution and a scientific contribution in the development of accountable and sustainable zakat management in Indonesia.

Good corporate governance, or GCG, is essential to achieve the primary goal of all financial institutions, including Islamic banks, which is to improve financial performance. How the financial performance of banks is affected when Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is implemented in Islam is the main concern of this study. Islamic banks must balance adherence to moral standards with financial efficiency to uphold Shariah principles in practice. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the extent to which GCG involvement can significantly enhance the financial success of Islamic banks. This study uses quantitative methodology that includes multiple regression analysis and descriptive techniques. Secondary data can be found in the annual reports of Islamic banks for a certain period of time registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Several GCG indicators have been analyzed, including the sharia supervisory board, audit committee, board of commissioners structure, and information transparency. When evaluating financial performance measures, Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA) ratios are used. An investigation is conducted to confirm the causal relationship between these parameters.

This study systematically analyses the predictive ability financial ratios have in relation to the emergence of financial distress among non-cyclical companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020-2023. Secondary data was collected from a sample of 151 secondary data companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, spanning the years from 2020 to 2023. In order to ascertain the relationship between the independent variables (X1, X2, X3) and the dependent variable, Multiple Linear Regression models are utilised by employing the Eviews calculation application. As a model, the Springate model is employed, which is used to measure financial distress. The financial ratios selected for analysis encompass the liquidity ratio, the leverage ratio, and the profitability ratio. The findings of this study suggest that the profitability ratio exerts a substantial positive effect, or a moderate effect, on the phenomenon of financial distress. In contrast, the liquidity ratio and leverage ratio demonstrate an absence of statistically significant influence on the phenomenon of financial distress. Extensive analysis of the results indicates that financial distress, as measured by Springate, does not exert a substantial influence on the findings obtained from this study. The incorporation of diverse samples and models in subsequent studies is likely to introduce variations into the research outcomes.

This research aims to analyze the effect of free cash flow on financial distress through return on assets and debt to assets ratio in the pharmaceutical subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the period of 2020-2023. The analytical methods employed include descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression analysis, and path analysis. The tool used for analysis is SPSS Version 25. The population consists of 13 companies, and through purposive sampling, a sample of 10 companies was obtained, resulting in a total of 40 firm observations over the 4-year period. The findings indicate that free cash flow has a negative effect on financial distress. Additionally, free cash flow positively influences both return on assets and debt to assets ratio. Return on assets has been proven to mediate the effect of free cash flow on financial distress, while debt to assets ratio does not demonstrate significant mediating capability. The originality of this research builds upon previous studies by introducing return on assets as a moderating variable and also incorporates debt to assets ratio as a moderating variable in the analysis.

This study aims to analyze violations of accounting professional ethics at PT Indofarma Tbk, a state-owned pharmaceutical company in Indonesia. The case gained public attention following an investigative audit report by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK), which revealed financial statement manipulation causing state losses amounting to IDR 371.83 billion. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were obtained through the analysis of financial statements, BPK audit findings, as well as relevant literature and publications. The findings indicate violations of several fundamental ethical principles, including integrity, objectivity, professional competence, confidentiality, and professional behavior. The main contributing factors, based on the fraud triangle theory, are financial pressure, opportunity arising from weak internal controls, and rationalization by management. This case emphasizes the importance of implementing professional accounting ethics and strong oversight in the preparation of financial statements to maintain public trust and corporate integrity. The study implies the urgent need to strengthen internal control systems and enforce ethical standards as preventive measures against fraud.

This article aims to analyze the differences in stock performance before and after mergers and acquisitions in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The problem focuses on the impact of mergers and acquisitions on stock performance indicators, such as Stock Returns, Price Earnings Ratio (PER), Price to Book Value (PBV), and Earnings Per Share (EPS). In order to approach this problem, theoretical references from financial management and market efficiency theory are used. Data were collected through financial statements of companies undergoing mergers and acquisitions in the 2018-2020 period and analyzed quantitatively using normality tests and significant difference tests with paired sample t-tests. This study concludes that mergers and acquisitions have a significant effect on increasing several stock performance indicators, especially Stock Returns and PBV, although the impact on PER and EPS varies depending on the industry sector and market conditions. The results of this study are expected to provide insight for investors and business actors in assessing the effectiveness of mergers and acquisitions as a company growth strategy.

This study aims to examine the effect of liquidity, profitability, and solvability ratios on investment decisions while also investigating the moderating role of firm size in this relationship. The research focuses on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2019-2023, which are marked by significant economic disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative approach was employed, using panel data regression to test the proposed hypotheses. Financial ratios were measured using the current ratio, return on assets, and debt-to-equity ratio, while investment decisions were assessed using the price-earnings ratio. The natural logarithm of total assets measured firm size. The results reveal that liquidity and solvability significantly influence investment decisions, while profitability does not. Firm size was found to moderate the relationship between liquidity and solvability with investment decisions, but not the relationship involving profitability. These findings have practical implications for investors and corporate managers in formulating investment strategies and managing financial performance, highlighting the importance of considering firm size when evaluating the effectiveness of economic indicators. This research also contributes to the empirical literature on investment decision-making in the manufacturing sector.

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial performance on firm value in the manufacturing sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Financial performance in this study is measured through four main indicators: Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Assets (ROA), Net Interest Margin (NIM), and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER). Meanwhile, firm value is determined using market-based financial ratios. The research method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis. The research data were obtained from publicly available financial reports of manufacturing companies with a total of 84 observations during the study period. This research model was designed to test the extent of influence of each financial performance indicator on variations in firm value. The analysis results show that ROE, ROA, NIM, and DER simultaneously have a significant effect on firm value. Partially, ROE and NIM are proven to have a significant positive impact, meaning that the higher the two ratios, the higher the firm value. Conversely, ROA and DER show a significant negative effect, indicating that an increase in these two variables actually decreases the firm value. These findings indicate different dynamics between financial indicators in influencing market perception. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 30.6% confirms that the variation in firm value can be explained by the four independent variables in the model, while the remainder is influenced by other external factors not included in the study. Therefore, the results of this study provide important insights for management and investors regarding the role of financial indicators in shaping firm value. Management can use these findings to evaluate financial strategies, while investors can use this information to strengthen the basis for investment decisions.
