Using a literature research methodology, this paper investigates how business combination accounting was implemented both before and after PSAK 22, which is now known as PSAK 103 on Business Combinations. This research analyzes profit margin, return on equity (ROE), and return on assets (ROA) to assess the impact of PSAK 22 on the business's financial performance. Prior to PSAK 22, businesses often employed the "purchase method" or "pooling of interest." Results from prior research indicate that ROA, ROE, and profit margins are significantly impacted by business combinations. Although financial performance is frequently improved by mergers and acquisitions, the outcomes differ among industries. This article requires a broader range of information in order to function as a reference for future study on business combinations with PSAK 22/103 case studies and more diverse variables.

Early marriage is a phenomenon that is rampant in society, especially teenagers. Tradition and gender inequality are the main factors of early marriage. Significant impacts are experienced by adolescents due to early marriage. This study aims to describe the impact of early marriage on adolescents caused by traditional factors and gender gaps. The research method used is literature study analysis and documentation study by observing documentary videos. Coding and tabulation processes were carried out to test the validity and reliability of the data. The results showed that early marriage in adolescents is influenced by tradition and the gender gap. This suggests factors such as family pressure, local traditions, and lack of opportunities in education may reinforce the practice of early marriage. Emile Durkheim's structural functional theory analysis also highlights how early marriage functions in maintaining social stability, but also emphasizes the need to reduce the negative impact on gender inequality. Concrete measures such as sexual education, women's empowerment, and policy changes are needed to address the problem of early marriage in adolescents.
