Cooperatives play a significant role in Indonesia’s economic system because they aim to enhance member welfare through collective ownership and cooperative principles. To maintain accountability, cooperatives are required to prepare financial reports following the Financial Accounting Standards for Entities Without Public Accountability (SAK ETAP). This study examines how SAK ETAP is applied in the financial reporting practices of Koperasi Simpan Pinjam (KSP) Mandiri Sejahtera, Comal Branch. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, data were gathered through interviews and an analysis of the 2022 financial statements. The results indicate that although the cooperative has implemented several elements of SAK ETAP, full compliance has not been achieved due to limited human resources and the absence of an integrated reporting system. Nevertheless, the preparation of PPAP reports reflects prudence in managing credit risk and highlights the need for digital systems and improved accounting skills to strengthen transparent and accountable financial management.

This study aims to analyze the financial distress condition of PT Indofarma Tbk during the period of 2022-2024 using the Modified Altman Z-Score Model. The research employs a quantitative approach and utilizes secondary data obtained from the company's annual financial reports published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Four key ratios in the Modified Altman Z-Score Model are used to assess the level of financial distress risk, namely: working capital to total assets (X1), retained earnings to total assets (X2), earnings before interest and taxes to total assets (X3), and book value of equity to total debt (X4). The results show that PT Indofarma Tbk's Z-Score value has been well below the threshold of 1.1 for three consecutive years, at -4.97 in 2022, -21.40 in 2023, and -27.19 in 2024. These values indicate that the company is in a serious financial distress condition, with a high risk of bankruptcy. Contributing factors include negative working capital, continuous operational losses, increasing debt levels, and a decline in the company's equity.

This study aims to examine the effect of profitability ratios, namely Earnings per Share (EPS), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE), on the stock price of PT Ciputra Development Tbk during the 2016–2023 period. The research employs a quantitative approach with a causal research design using secondary data derived from quarterly financial statements and stock closing prices published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, supported by classical assumption tests, partial hypothesis testing (t-test), simultaneous testing (F-test), and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that EPS, NPM, and ROA do not have a significant effect on stock prices, while ROE has a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, all profitability variables do not significantly influence stock prices. The coefficient of determination indicates that profitability ratios explain a relatively small proportion of stock price variation, suggesting that stock prices in the property sector are influenced more by external and market-related factors than by short-term profitability indicators. These findings imply that ROE is the most relevant profitability indicator for investors in assessing property sector stocks, while other profitability ratios play a limited role.

This study aims to analyze the effect of asset growth, capital structure, and asset structure on the profitability of PT Astra Graphia Tbk during the period 2016–2023. The research employs a quantitative approach with a causal research design using secondary data derived from the company’s quarterly financial statements. A total of 32 quarterly observations were selected through purposive sampling. Profitability is measured using Return on Equity (ROE), while data analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression. Prior to hypothesis testing, classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity, and autocorrelation tests were performed to ensure the robustness of the regression model. The results indicate that asset growth, capital structure, and asset structure simultaneously have a significant effect on firm profitability. However, partially, only asset structure has a significant effect on profitability, while asset growth and capital structure show no significant influence. These findings suggest that efficient asset composition plays a more critical role in improving profitability than mere asset expansion or increased leverage. The managerial implication of this study highlights the importance of optimizing asset structure to enhance the firm’s ability to generate sustainable profits.

This study aims to analyze and evaluate the health level of PT Bank Mega Tbk during the 2016–2023 period using the Risk-Based Bank Rating (RGEC) method. This research employs a quantitative descriptive approach with an evaluative design. The data used are secondary data obtained from audited annual financial statements published by PT Bank Mega Tbk and the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The analytical method refers to regulatory provisions by Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority, covering four assessment factors: Risk Profile (measured by Non-Performing Loan and Loan to Deposit Ratio), Good Corporate Governance (based on self-assessment reports), Earnings (measured by Return on Assets, Return on Equity, BOPO, and Net Interest Margin), and Capital (measured by Capital Adequacy Ratio). Each indicator is assessed according to regulatory criteria and integrated to determine the Composite Rating (PK). The results show that PT Bank Mega Tbk consistently achieved Composite Rating 1 (PK-1), categorized as “Very Healthy,” throughout the observation period. The Risk Profile, Capital, and most Earnings indicators demonstrate strong and stable performance, while Good Corporate Governance remains consistently in the “Healthy” category. However, the Return on Equity indicator shows relatively lower performance compared to other profitability ratios, indicating the need for more optimal utilization of equity. Overall, the findings confirm the bank’s strong financial resilience while highlighting managerial implications related to capital efficiency.

This study aims to examine the implementation of audit procedures on accounts payable at PT XYZ by KAP Ramli & Rekan, with a focus on compliance with Auditing Standards and effectiveness in detecting material misstatements. Accounts payable are a key component of financial statements representing the company’s obligations to suppliers, requiring accurate presentation for assessing liquidity and capital structure. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method, collecting primary data through interviews with audit staff at KAP Ramli & Rekan and secondary data from relevant literature. The findings show that the audit procedures comply with professional standards, covering comprehensive stages including engagement acceptance, audit planning, risk and materiality assessment, and substantive testing. The planning process incorporates the COSO framework for evaluating internal control, establishes audit objectives based on the five management assertions, and utilizes ATLAS software and Microsoft Excel. KAP Ramli & Rekan apply control testing and substantive procedures, including external confirmations, inspection of supporting documents, review of aging payables, and subsequent payment testing. Risk assessment indicates low inherent and control risks, while detection risk is mitigated through substantive procedures. Overall Materiality is set at 60% of revenue and profit before tax, Performance Materiality at 3% of Overall Materiality, and Threshold Materiality at 3% of Performance Materiality. The study concludes that the audit procedures implemented by KAP Ramli & Rekan align with applicable Auditing Standards and are effective in addressing audit risks related to accounts payable. The implications highlight the importance of enhancing audit quality practices, particularly the effectiveness of planning and internal control evaluation in accounts payable audits.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Economic Entity Principle in the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) Kedai Kita, which still relies on a simple financial recording system. The principle emphasizes the importance of separating personal and business finances to ensure that financial statements accurately and objectively reflect the entity's economic condition. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through direct interviews with the business owner to gain an in-depth understanding of the financial management practices implemented. The findings indicate that the application of the Economic Entity Principle at Kedai Kita has not been fully realized, as evidenced by the ongoing mixing of personal and business funds, the absence of a formal bookkeeping system, and inconsistent recording of cash flows and expenditures. The main factors hindering the implementation of this principle include limited accounting literacy, lack of time for bookkeeping, and the absence of a structured accounting system. Nevertheless, the business owner has begun to recognize the importance of separating finances as a foundation for more accountable business management. These findings imply the need for the adoption of simple recording applications, the provision of basic accounting training, and increased understanding among MSME actors regarding the benefits of structured financial statements. This study provides practical contributions for other MSMEs by demonstrating that the implementation of the Economic Entity Principle is a fundamental step in enhancing financial transparency and accountability, as well as strengthening opportunities for access to formal financing.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of professional accounting ethics in maintaining the quality, transparency, and accountability of corporate financial reporting through a literature review of relevant journals, regulations, and cases, including the Garuda Indonesia case, which illustrates ethical violations in revenue recognition. The findings emphasize that the principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence, confidentiality, and professional behavior serve as fundamental pillars for accountants in producing reliable financial information. Ethical misconduct can lead to declining public trust, weakened corporate governance, and increased legal and reputational risks. Therefore, ethical education, regulatory supervision, strengthened moral awareness, and effective internal control systems are essential to prevent financial reporting manipulation. Professional more than just an normative obligation but a strategic element in safeguarding the credibility of the accounting profession and ensuring economic stability.

This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the implementation of PSAK 238 (Intangible Assets) and PSAK 236 (Impairment of Assets) within Indonesian manufacturing companies. Using a quantitative descriptive design, the research draws on annual reports of 50 selected manufacturing entities listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the fiscal year 2023. Key variables include recognition, measurement, amortisation (for PSAK 238) and impairment indicators, recoverable amount, reversal-conditions (for PSAK 236). Findings indicate that although majority of firms comply with recognition criteria under PSAK 238, significant discrepancies persist in the disclosure of measurement model usage and the reversal of impairment losses per PSAK 236. The implications highlight the need for enhanced audit procedures and training for preparers of financial statements to ensure robust, transparent reporting. The study contributes theoretically by bridging standard-setting literature and empirically by offering insight into Indonesian practice. Implications for regulators and practitioners are discussed.

This study aims to assess the quality of financial reporting at the Arda Jaya Diesel car repair shop on Jalan Dg Hayo Antang 3. The data used are numerical data or quantitative methods. The study was conducted by collecting data from the repair shop's financial reports, such as revenue, expenses, debt, inventory, and fixed assets. The assessment was carried out by examining whether the repair shop has followed accounting principles, how to record transactions, and whether the profit and loss statements and balance sheets are accurate and reliable. The method used is a case study supported by interviews and direct observations at the repair shop. The results show that many repair shops still record their finances simply and do not follow proper accounting standards. Therefore, financial reports need to be improved to assist business decision-making and meet the reporting needs of external parties such as creditors and investors.

This study aims to see the effect of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Return on Assets (ROA) on Stock Price in PT. Wilmar Cahaya Indonesia, Tbk which is listed on the IDX during the period 2015–2022. The data used in this study is in the form of the company's annual financial statements obtained through secondary sources. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis methods, while data processing is carried out using the SPSS application. The results of the study show that partially the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) variable has a negative effect on the Share Price, while the Return on Assets (ROA) does not have a positive effect on the company's Share Price. However, the results of the simultaneous test show that DER and ROA together have a positive and significant influence on the Stock Price. These findings provide an idea that the combination of capital structure and profitability remains an important indicator in assessing the performance of a company's shares even though their partial relationships show different tendencies. In addition, this research can be a reference for investors in considering the company's fundamental condition before making investment decisions, as well as provide additional insights for management in managing the capital structure more optimally.

The methods used included interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the activity showed that the Jurnal Bijak application is effective, efficient, and easy to use by MSMEs in recording financial transactions. This application enables the preparation of accurate and structured financial reports based on simple transaction evidence, such as income and expense records, general journals, and ledgers. The resulting financial statements include Income Statement, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flow, and Statement of Financial Position. The main advantages of this program focus on increasing financial literacy, reducing recording errors, and time efficiency in the accounting process, thereby supporting transparency and accountability in MSME management.

State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) are business entities whose capital is wholly or primarily owned by the government, and in the form of Persero, partial capital participation from the private sector is permitted. Earnings quality reflects the firm’s true economic condition; therefore, it is influenced by financial conditions and the policies implemented. This study aims to examine the effect of accounting conservatism, capital structure, liquidity, profitability, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure on earnings quality in SOEs listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2023 and 2024. Research data were obtained from financial statements and sustainability reports as secondary sources, and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings indicate that accounting conservatism has a positive effect on earnings quality, whereas liquidity and profitability have negative effects. Meanwhile, capital structure and CSR disclosure show no significant effect on earnings quality. These results provide empirical insights for stakeholders in understanding the factors that influence the reliability of earnings information in SOEs.

This research aims to examine the effect of profit optimization on market reaction and the mediating role of tax avoidance in this relationship among insurance sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2023 period. Profit optimization is proxied by Return on Assets, market reaction by stock returns, and tax avoidance by the Effective Tax Rate. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the financial statements of 17 insurance sub-sector companies, with a final sample of 10 companies selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and path analysis. The results indicate that profit optimization has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance. However, tax avoidance does not influence market reaction, and profit optimization also does not have a direct effect on market reaction. Furthermore, tax avoidance is able to mediate the effect of profit optimization on market reaction. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how earnings information quality, taxation strategies, and investor responses interact in shaping capital market dynamics within the insurance industry. The findings also provide a foundation for future research to explore external factors that may influence these relationships, offering additional academic value for strengthening subsequent studies.

This study aims to assess the effect of PSAK 57 implementation on the quality of financial statements in Indonesian public companies. PSAK 57 is significant because it facilitates the presentation of uncertain liabilities and assets in an honest, relevant, and transparent manner, which ultimately strengthens stakeholder confidence in these financial statements. This study applies a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data, namely annual reports and financial statements from public companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) within a certain period. The evaluation was conducted to measure the degree of compliance with PSAK 57 and its relationship with financial statement quality parameters, such as relevance, reliability, and comparability. The research findings indicate that the implementation of PSAK 57 has a positive impact on the quality of financial statements, as entities that consistently adopt this standard demonstrate higher levels of transparency and accountability. This conclusion conveys a crucial message to practitioners and regulators to continue to deepen their understanding and implementation of PSAK 57 in order to strengthen the quality and integrity of financial reporting in Indonesia.

This study examines the challenges encountered by auditors in evaluating the fairness of notes payable and equity accounts as part of the financial statement audit process. These accounts carry a high risk of misstatement when recognition, measurement, or disclosure does not align with applicable standards. The purpose of this research is to provide an in-depth overview of the procedures, techniques, and professional judgments applied by auditors in assessing the fairness of both accounts, including issues related to misclassification, incomplete audit evidence, and limited responses from third-party confirmations. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method through a literature review of relevant academic publications. The findings indicate that auditors frequently face obstacles such as the mixing of accrued interest with the principal amount, low confirmation response rates, and inadequate supporting documentation. These challenges require auditors to perform alternative procedures and strengthen substantive testing to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence. The implications of this study highlight the need for consistent application of auditing standards, comprehensive documentation, and effective communication with clients to ensure financial statements present a true and fair view.

This study focuses on the role of auditing in improving the credibility and reliability of financial statements, particularly through the examination of cash and cash equivalents, which are the most liquid assets and also the most vulnerable to errors and fraud. The purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of financial statement users, including investors, financial analysts, consultants, academics and accounting practitioners, as well as accounting students, about the function of cash and cash equivalents audit reports in improving business quality. This study found that comprehensive and independent cash and cash equivalent audits can increase user confidence in the transparency, accountability, and reputation of companies. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with eight informants in Jakarta, Bogor, and Depok. The results show that three main factors influence financial statement users' perceptions of audit quality: auditor credibility, audit process independence, and the audit's ability to demonstrate good corporate governance. According to the results of this study, cash audits are very important as a measure of management integrity and a tool for assessing company quality. The study is also expected to help auditors and management improve audit practices that are clearer, more independent, and focused on the needs of financial statement users.

This study aims to analyze the influence of profitability, liquidity, and leverage on firm value, both partially and simultaneously. The background of this study is based on the importance of firm value as an indicator of managerial performance and a factor that attracts investor attention. The approach used is quantitative with a causal-associative research type. The data used is secondary data obtained from the financial statements of 19 companies in the healthcare sector. Based on the analysis, the results indicate that profitability has a positive and significant effect on firm value, indicating that good financial performance can increase market perception of firm value. On the other hand, liquidity and leverage do not show a significant effect on firm value. This indicates that these two factors do not significantly influence market assessments of companies in the healthcare sector that are the object of this study. However, simultaneously, all three variables are proven to have a significant effect on firm value, indicating that although their partial effects are different, all three factors have a collective contribution in shaping firm value. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that profitability is the main factor that plays a role in increasing firm value, while liquidity and leverage require further attention in a more specific context.

This study aims to see whether financial distress, leverage, and profitability affect accounting conservatism in manufacturing companies in the food and beverage subsector listed on the IDX for the 2021–2024 period. The independent variables used are financial distress, leverage, and profitability, while the bound variables are accounting conservatism. Data processing was carried out using the SPSS version 26 program with multiple linear regression methods. Sampling used purposive sampling techniques with certain criteria so that 63 companies were obtained as a sample for four years of observation (2021–2024). Of the total 252 financial statement data, after the deletion of outlier data, the number of data used became 183. The results of the study show that simultaneously financial distress, leverage, and profitability affect accounting conservatism. Partially, these three variables also have a positive effect on accounting conservatism. In addition, these findings indicate that companies with financial pressures and certain levels of financial management tend to apply higher prudential principles in the preparation of their financial statements.
