This study aims to analyze the differences in financial performance between PT Ciputra Development Tbk (CTRA) and PT Pakuwon Jati Tbk (PWON) during 2019–2023 based on liquidity, profitability, solvency, and dividend policy ratios. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-comparative method was employed. The study utilized secondary data obtained from the annual financial reports of both companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Financial ratios were analyzed, including the Current Ratio (CR), Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR). Data normality and homogeneity tests were conducted, followed by Independent Sample t-Test and Mann–Whitney U test using SPSS version 26 to identify statistical differences. The results indicate no significant differences between CTRA and PWON in CR, ROA, and DPR, but a significant difference in DER, where CTRA shows higher leverage compared to PWON. These findings suggest that the key distinction between the two companies lies in their capital structure rather than profitability or dividend policy, reflecting different financial management strategies within Indonesia’s property sector.

This study aims to examine the effect of financial ratios on financial distress in transportation and logistics sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2024 period. The research employed a documentation method by collecting secondary data from the companies’ financial statements within the observed period. The financial ratios analyzed include profitability, liquidity, leverage, and activity. The level of financial distress was measured using the Altman Z-Score method. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, consisting of 22 companies observed over six years. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the assistance of EViews 12, with the selected model being the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The partial test results indicate that profitability, liquidity, leverage, and activity ratios do not have a significant effect on financial distress. However, the simultaneous test results show that the four variables together significantly affect financial distress. These findings suggest that financial ratios cannot serve as a single indicator in assessing a company’s financial distress. Nevertheless, when used collectively and combined with the Altman Z-Score measurement, they can provide a more accurate assessment of a company’s financial distress condition.

The shift in local community communication patterns has driven the adoption of digital media as a primary channel for resident coordination. This study aims to explore the communication strategy of the neighborhood head (RT) in utilizing a WhatsApp group as a platform for coordination and community bonding in Melati Kidul Village RT 02 RW 2, Kudus Regency. The research highlights unique practices, including anti-hoax policies through message moderation, visual innovation in information dissemination, and active citizen participation in online decision-making. A qualitative approach was employed using in-depth interviews and digital message analysis. The findings, analyzed through organizational communication theory, media richness theory, dual coding theory, and adaptive leadership, reveal that local leaders successfully integrate formal and informal communication via participatory digital strategies, thereby enhancing social cohesion and coordination efficiency. In addition, this study demonstrates the effectiveness of using WhatsApp groups to overcome the traditional barriers of communication in rural areas, particularly in increasing public awareness and engagement in local government affairs. The neighborhood head’s proactive approach in utilizing digital platforms has empowered residents to communicate more effectively, share information swiftly, and provide input on local decisions. By fostering an environment of inclusivity and trust, this model contributes significantly to the development of stronger community ties. Furthermore, this research provides valuable insights into how technology can be leveraged to improve community management and leadership practices at the grassroots level. This study ultimately highlights the potential for digital platforms to shape the future of community-driven leadership.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, liquidity, leverage, and company growth on company value in the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2024. The research data was obtained from financial reports and annual reports published officially and publicly by the companies. The research population consists of food and beverage companies listed on the IDX. Using purposive sampling, 56 companies that met the criteria were selected, resulting in 280 observations collected over five years of observation. The data analysis technique used multiple linear regression with the help of the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 22 program. This method was used to test the effect of independent variables consisting of profitability, liquidity, leverage, and company growth on the dependent variable in the form of company value measured by Price to Book Value (PBV) as a market indicator. The results showed that profitability, leverage, and company growth did not affect company value. This indicates that profit performance, funding structure, and asset growth are not dominant factors influencing investor decisions in assessing companies in the food and beverage sub-sector. Conversely, liquidity proved to have a positive and significant effect on company value. This condition shows that the higher a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations, the greater the level of investor confidence that drives a consistent increase in company value. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that liquidity is an important aspect that must be considered in efforts to maintain stability, increase company value, and attract investor attention, while profitability, leverage, and company growth were not proven to have a significant effect on the food and beverage sub-sector during the research period.

This study aims to examine the effect of Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Assets Ratio (DAR), and Total Assets on Audit Delay in food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. Audit Delay is defined as the time interval between the end of the fiscal year and the issuance date of audited financial statements by independent auditors. The timeliness of financial reporting is a crucial element for stakeholders in evaluating company performance, enhancing transparency, and supporting decision-making processes. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence audit delay is important in the context of both regulatory compliance and corporate governance. This research adopts a quantitative methodology using multiple linear regression analysis. The data used are secondary data obtained from annual financial reports published and accessible through the official IDX website. The study sample consists of 33 companies, resulting in 165 observations. After conducting outlier analysis, the final dataset comprised 83 observations. Data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22. The results show that Return on Assets and Total Assets do not have a significant effect on Audit Delay. This indicates that profitability and company size are not the main determinants of audit timeliness in this sector. However, the Debt to Assets Ratio was found to have a relatively positive effect on Audit Delay. This finding suggests that companies with higher leverage tend to be audited more quickly, possibly because auditors and stakeholders pay greater attention to firms with higher financial risk. Thus, a company’s capital structure plays an important role in influencing the timeliness of audit completion.

This research aims to determine the effect of the Current Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, Net Profit Margin, and Total Asset Turnover on Return On Assets (ROA) in manufacturing companies within the Industrial Machinery and Heavy Equipment sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2018 – 2024. The study utilized secondary data in the form of annual financial statements from 9 companies in the machinery and heavy equipment sub-sector. These companies were selected using the purposive sampling technique based on specific criteria. The research applied a multiple linear regression model, with data processed using IBM SPSS version 25. The findings show that, partially, the Current Ratio has a positive and significant effect on Return On Assets, indicating that better liquidity management improves asset returns. The Debt to Equity Ratio, however, showed no significant impact on Return On Assets, suggesting that financial leverage does not strongly influence the return generated from assets in these companies. The Net Profit Margin was found to have a positive and significant effect on Return On Assets, meaning that higher profitability directly enhances asset performance. Similarly, Total Asset Turnover has a positive and significant impact on Return On Assets, indicating that efficient asset utilization leads to higher returns. The study highlights key financial indicators for improving asset returns in manufacturing companies within the sub-sector.

This study is driven by the importance of adopting digital-based marketing strategies in the agribusiness sector, particularly in rural areas such as Pacitan Regency. Y, as a local egg farming enterprise, seeks to enhance its marketing effectiveness through the implementation of   Digital Marketing and digital customer relationship management (CRM). The objective of this study is to examine the influence of these two strategies on egg product marketing. This research employed a quantitative correlational approach, with data collected through questionnaires and interviews. The sample consisted of 97 respondents who are consumers of Y. The results show that both   Digital Marketing and digital CRM simultaneously have a significant effect on improving product marketing.   Digital Marketing plays a role in expanding reach and product appeal by utilizing online platforms and targeted advertising, which helps increase product visibility to a broader audience. Meanwhile, digital CRM is effective in building long-term relationships and customer loyalty by providing personalized services, improving customer engagement, and maintaining communication. These findings imply that the integration of both strategies is highly relevant for micro-enterprises to improve competitiveness in the digital era, as they allow businesses to reach a wider market while fostering strong customer connections. This study also contributes to the development of literature on digital agribusiness marketing and serves as a practical reference for business promotion strategies, especially for small-scale enterprises looking to leverage digital tools for growth.

This study aims to analyze the influence of liquidity, leverage, profitability, and company size on the share prices of companies that are members of the Investor33 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. This study uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling techniques, so that 17 companies out of a total of 46 companies that meet the criteria are obtained. The data used is secondary data in the form of annual financial statements obtained from the IDX's official website. The analysis method used was multiple linear regression with the help of the Statistical Program for Social Science (SPSS) software version 25. The results of the analysis show that the leverage and profitability variables have a significant effect on the stock price, which indicates that the company's capital structure and ability to generate profits are important factors in the investor's assessment. In contrast, the liquidity variables and company size do not show a significant influence on the stock price, which means that the company's ability to meet short-term obligations and operational scale are not the main determinants in the formation of the stock price on the index. These findings provide implications for investors and company management to pay more attention to profitability and leverage aspects in financial strategies and investment decision-making. This research can also be a reference for further studies related to the analysis of financial ratios and capital market dynamics in Indonesia.

The phenomenon of tax avoidance in Indonesia remains a significant issue, one of which is the case of PT. Adaro Energy Tbk, which practiced tax avoidance through transfer pricing to its subsidiary in Singapore, Coaltrade Service International, from 2009 to 2017. Based on this phenomenon, this study aims to analyze the effect of leverage and profitability on tax avoidance with transfer pricing as a moderating variable in coal subsector energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2023 period. This study uses descriptive analysis methods, classical assumption tests, Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), and hypothesis testing with t-tests. The data processing tool used is SPSS version 23. The study population consisted of 45 companies, and through purposive sampling technique, 12 companies were obtained as samples with a three-year observation period, resulting in a total sample of 36 data. The results show that leverage has a positive effect on tax avoidance, while profitability has no effect on tax avoidance. Meanwhile, transfer pricing has a negative effect on tax avoidance. Interestingly, transfer pricing has been shown to strengthen the relationship between leverage and tax avoidance, as well as the relationship between profitability and tax avoidance. This finding confirms that "transfer pricing can be a significant moderating factor in corporate tax management strategies." Therefore, the results of this study contribute to understanding tax avoidance practices in the coal subsector for companies and regulators, as well as providing policy implications for tax regulations in Indonesia.

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.

This study aims to analyze the effect of leverage measured by Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) and activity ratio measured by Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on profitability measured by Return On Assets (ROA) at PT ABC Indonesia Tbk for the 2015–2024 period. The analysis is carried out both partially and simultaneously to provide an overview of the factors that affect the company's profitability. The type of research used is descriptive quantitative with secondary data obtained from the company's annual financial statements, in the form of balance sheet and income statements. Data analysis methods include t-test, f-test, and determination coefficient (R²). The results of the study show that partially, the Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) does not have a significant effect on the Return On Assets (ROA). This indicates that the company's leverage level, in the form of a comparison of total debt to total assets, did not directly contribute to the level of profitability during the study period. Similarly, Total Asset Turnover (TATO) is also partially unaffected by ROA. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of a company in utilizing total assets to generate sales has not fully affected profitability. However, the results of the simultaneous test (F test) showed that DAR and TATO together had a significant effect on ROA. A determination coefficient value (R²) of 0.6037 or 60.37% indicates that the variation in the company's profitability can be explained by these two independent variables. Meanwhile, the remaining 39.63% was influenced by other factors outside the research model, such as operational efficiency, cost structure, marketing strategy, and external conditions of the retail industry. Thus, this study confirms the importance of comprehensively considering leverage and asset activity in managing a company's profitability, although the partial influence of each variable has not shown strong significance.

The Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) changes in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2019 and 2023, which reflect shifts in dividend policy, are what spurred this study.  Dividend policy is important since it helps to win over investors.  Nonetheless, management frequently has to decide whether to pay dividends or keep profits for investments.  Finding out how management ownership, profitability, leverage, and business size affect dividend policy in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is the aim of this study. This study is classified as a quantitative causality study.  50 food and beverage firms made up the sample, which was selected using a purposive sampling technique.  The SPSS version 25 multiple linear regression software was used to examine these data.  This study demonstrates that the dividend policy of companies in the food and beverage sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is influenced, in part, by management ownership, profitability, leverage, and company size.  Conversely, the dividend policy of companies in the food and beverage sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is influenced by management ownership, profitability, leverage, and company size.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), intellectual capital, and leverage on firm value in technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period. GCG is measured through three indicators: managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and the presence of an audit committee. Intellectual capital is measured using the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC™) method, while leverage is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER). Firm value as the dependent variable is measured using the Tobin's Q ratio. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from annual reports and financial statements of companies accessed through the official IDX website and each company's website. A purposive sampling technique was used to determine the sample, and eight companies were obtained with a total of 32 observation data over a four-year period. The results show that leverage has a significant effect on firm value, indicating that appropriate and proportional debt structure management is a key factor in increasing the value of companies in the technology sector. Meanwhile, managerial ownership, institutional ownership, the presence of an audit committee, and intellectual capital did not show a significant effect on firm value. This suggests that, in the technology sector, external financing strategies play a greater role than internal company factors such as ownership structure and intangible assets. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for company management and investors in formulating financing policies and managing knowledge-based resources.  

This study aims to analyze the contribution of the life insurance sector to economic growth and financial system stability in Indonesia during the period from 2013 to 2022. Using a quantitative approach and linear regression method, the study finds a positive and statistically significant relationship between life insurance premiums and real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. Additionally, the life insurance sector acts as a long-term funding provider that supports financial market stability through investments in financial instruments such as government bonds. These findings indicate that the life insurance industry not only offers financial protection for individuals but also serves as a key pillar of economic development and financial system resilience. The study recommends enhancing insurance inclusion, financial literacy, and strengthening regulation and corporate governance in life insurance companies to fully leverage their potential contribution to Indonesia’s economy

This study aims to analyze the development, effectiveness, challenges, and research gaps in the implementation of anti-corruption education globally during the 2015–2025 period. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, the study systematically identified, evaluated, and synthesized 37 peer-reviewed articles indexed in the Scopus database. The findings indicate a significant increase in both academic publications and the implementation of anti-corruption education programs worldwide. These programs adopt diverse approaches, including curriculum integration, the use of digital media, and participatory learning strategies. Evidence of program effectiveness is reflected in behavioral changes and long-term social impacts reported in several studies. However, the review also reveals persistent challenges: cultural (social norms tolerant of corruption), structural (absence of national standards or policy frameworks), and technical (limited access to technological infrastructure). Furthermore, the research landscape shows notable gaps, such as the lack of longitudinal studies, minimal focus on vulnerable groups (e.g., children with disabilities), and underutilization of emerging tools like artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics. Future research is recommended to adopt interdisciplinary perspectives, develop context-based learning modules, and leverage advanced technologies to enhance engagement and scalability. Overall, the findings highlight the urgency of implementing holistic and adaptive strategies to strengthen the role of education in combating corruption at various levels of society.

This study aims to analyze the strategy of utilizing vacant spaces within airports to enhance non-aeronautical revenue through collaboration with Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Given the growing importance of non-aeronautical revenue sources in the aviation industry, this research focuses on how airports can optimize underutilized spaces for commercial purposes. The research method applied is library research, where relevant literature, journals, and previous studies are reviewed to gain insights into successful strategies and best practices. The findings of the study indicate that the development of commercial spaces, such as fast-food tenants, retail outlets, and photo booths, can significantly enhance the passenger experience by providing convenient services and entertainment. Additionally, these developments offer a sustainable alternative revenue stream for airports, diversifying income beyond traditional aeronautical activities. The research also explores the role of the Value Proposition Canvas business model to assess the alignment between the value offered by these services and the needs of passengers. By applying this model, the study emphasizes the importance of understanding customer expectations and ensuring that airport services meet these demands. The analysis further highlights that successful implementation of these strategies requires careful planning, including collaboration between airport management, MSMEs, local governments, and sponsors. Building strong partnerships and ensuring mutual benefit are critical for maximizing the non-aeronautical revenue potential. The study concludes by suggesting that airports can leverage vacant spaces more effectively to not only boost revenue but also improve the overall passenger experience, contributing to the long-term sustainability and growth of the airport sector.

Competition in the local culinary business is getting tougher as consumer behavior shifts, placing greater emphasis on product quality and social media recommendations. Nasi Uduk Pemuda, located in Doko Village, Kediri Regency, leverages brand trust, distinctive flavors, and promotions through social media influencers to drive consumer purchasing decisions. This study aims to analyze the influence of brand trust, flavors, and social media influencers on consumer purchasing decisions. The method used in this study is quantitative, with a survey of consumers who have purchased Nasi Uduk Pemuda products. The sample size was calculated using the Slovin formula. Data were analyzed using SPSS 29 through several tests, such as validity, reliability, classical assumptions, multiple linear regression, t-test, f-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The t-test results indicate that brand trust and flavor have a significant positive influence on consumer purchasing decisions. On the other hand, the influence of social media influencers on purchasing decisions is positive, but not significant. The f-test shows that simultaneously, the three variables significantly influence purchasing decisions, with an R² value of 0.669. This means that 66.9% of the variation in purchasing decisions can be explained by brand trust, taste, and the influence of social media influencers, while the remainder is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. In conclusion, maintaining brand trust, ensuring consistent taste quality, and leveraging promotions through social media influencers remain important strategies in improving consumer purchasing decisions. Nasi Uduk Pemuda needs to continue to maintain and develop these three elements to remain competitive in an increasingly dynamic market.

This study analyzes the opportunities and challenges in implementing digital payment systems to enhance the productivity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). In the era of growing digital transformation, the adoption of cashless transactions has become a crucial innovation to improve efficiency and competitiveness among MSME players. The findings indicate that the use of digital payment platforms such as QRIS, bank transfers, e-wallets, and card-based e-money offers several advantages, including faster payment processing, reduced risk of calculation errors, and the minimization of counterfeit money usage, which remains an issue in some regions. However, the implementation of digital payments still faces various obstacles on the ground. Certain sectors of MSMEs continue to rely heavily on cash transactions, especially in remote areas where internet connectivity is limited. Furthermore, many business owners still prefer conventional payment methods due to concerns over trust, security, and deeply rooted habits. Demographic factors also influence the level of digital payment adoption. Younger generations tend to be more adaptive to digital technologies, whereas older business owners are generally less familiar and comfortable with using digital devices. These findings suggest that in order to fully leverage the benefits of payment digitalization among MSMEs, strategic efforts are needed. These should include the improvement of digital infrastructure, widespread education and awareness programs, and the development of applications tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of each business sector. Collaboration between the government, financial institutions, and digital service providers is essential in creating an inclusive and user-friendly digital payment ecosystem. By addressing technical barriers and bridging digital literacy gaps, the implementation of digital payments holds significant potential to drive operational efficiency and sustainably boost the productivity of MSMEs.

This study aims to explore and understand the impact of various internal corporate governance and financial structure variables on firm value, specifically within the context of the Indonesian banking sector. The variables examined include company size, capital structure, managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and the presence of independent commissioners. The study focuses on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period from 2022 to 2024. A quantitative research approach was employed, using purposive sampling to select banking firms that met the criteria for analysis. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the individual and simultaneous influence of each variable on firm value. The empirical findings reveal that company size does not have a significant effect on firm value, indicating that larger asset bases or broader operations are not necessarily associated with higher market valuation in the banking sector. Conversely, capital structure—reflected by the proportion of debt to equity—has a positive and significant effect, suggesting that leverage, when managed efficiently, enhances firm value. Meanwhile, managerial ownership does not show a notable contribution to firm value, implying that insider ownership may not always align with shareholder interests. On the other hand, institutional ownership exerts a positive and significant influence, indicating that the presence of large, professional investors can enhance oversight and value creation. Finally, the presence of independent commissioners does not significantly impact firm value. Overall, the results highlight that, although not all governance variables have a direct individual influence, the five variables studied jointly have a significant effect on firm value. These findings have implications for corporate governance practices and financial decision-making in the banking sector, especially in emerging markets such as Indonesia.
