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.

This study aims to determine the relationship between leverage, profitability, and company size on the possibility of financial distress of companies in the textile and garment industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2022-2024. Several companies were selected using purposive sampling, based on categories determined by the author, such as the availability of data on each company and other relevant factors. The calculations used to analyze the financial difficulties of companies include the Altman Z-score and Zmijewski models, which will then serve as proxies for the dependent variable of financial distress. The results show that the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable differs between the models applied. The Altman Z-score model showed results that were more consistent with theoretical expectations, indicating a more robust measure of financial distress in this context. These findings highlight the importance of choosing appropriate models for analyzing financial distress in the textile and garment sector.

This study analyzes the implementation of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting on the firm value of PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk during the 2020-2024 period. The main issues examined are how ESG reporting is implemented and the extent of its influence on firm value, as well as which ESG component has the most significant impact. The research method employs a quantitative approach with a causal comparative design, utilizing secondary data sourced from annual reports, sustainability reports, and market data over five years. Firm value is proxied using Tobin's Q ratio, while the level of ESG disclosure is measured based on the GRI Standards framework. Data analysis techniques use multiple linear regression by incorporating control variables including firm size, profitability (ROA), and leverage to enhance result validity. The research findings indicate that ESG reporting has a positive and significant effect on firm value with a coefficient of β = 0.018 and p < 0.001, with a model predictive capability (R²) of 87.3%. Indofood's ESG Score experienced substantial improvement from 56.3% in 2020 to 78.9% in 2024, accompanied by an increase in Tobin's Q from 0.982 to 1.523. Component-wise analysis reveals that the Social aspect provides the highest impact (β = 0.009), followed by Governance (β = 0.007) and Environmental (β = 0.006). These findings provide empirical support for stakeholder theory and resource-based view in the Indonesian emerging market context.

The size of the company as a moderator in defining the correlation between capital structure, profit, and firm value is the focus of this study. Adopting a quantitative associative approach, this research focuses on the non-cyclical consumer sector registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2023. Of the 125 companies, 73 were purposively selected to create the research sample, yielding 292 observations after excluding entities with incomplete data and those with special monitoring status. The authors gathered secondary data from audited yearly financial reports through the IDX portal and corporate websites. The analysis used quasi-moderation techniques by combining independent variables, moderation, and interaction in a single regression model, processed through EViews 13. The research results show that capital structure has a significant positive impact on firm value, while profitability has no significant impact. Firm size has been shown to affect the relationship that exists between capital structure and firm value, but it does not moderate the association between profitability and firm value. These findings confirm that leverage’s effectiveness in increasing firm value is independent of company size and that profitability is not a primary determinant in this context. This research provides empirical evidence to advance capital structure theory and to inform executives’ strategic financial decisions and investors’ evaluations of corporate outlooks.

The purposes of this study analyze financial distress of non-food retail companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2021 to 2024, as impacted by profitability, liquidity, leverage, and firm size. The sample criteria were as follows: (1) companies operating in the non-food retail sector and listed on the IDX during the specified period; (2) companies that consistently presented complete annual financial statements for each year; and (3) companies whose financial statements indicated that they reported a profit in the current year. Purposive sampling was employed to select the sample, resulting in 25 companies with a total of 100 observations. This research employed a quantitative approach using secondary data. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression in SPSS version 25. The results of the partial test (t-test) revealed that profitability (ROA) and liquidity (CR) had a significant positive effect on financial distress. This suggests that higher profitability and liquidity increase the Altman Z-Score, thereby reducing the risk of a company experiencing financial distress. In contrast, leverage (DAR) and firm size (LN) were found to have no significant effect. These results emphasize the dominant role of internal factors, particularly profitability and liquidity, in shaping the financial condition of non-food retail companies in Indonesia.

Maritime safety is a crucial aspect of the maritime industry, particularly in Indonesia as an archipelagic country. Although regulations regarding maritime safety are well-established, the frequency of maritime transport accidents in Indonesia remains high (KNKT, 2019–2023). This study aims to analyze and test the partial and simultaneous effects of the Port Authority’s Role (X1), Vessel Seaworthiness (X2), and International Safety Management (ISM) Code (X3) on Maritime Safety (Y) at Ketapang Port. The research method used is explanatory quantitative with multiple linear regression analysis. The sample involved 75 respondents, including ship crew members and Port Authority officers, selected using Simple Random Sampling. The analysis results indicate that the three independent variables have a positive and significant impact on Maritime Safety. The regression model shows an adjusted R Square value of 0.610. Among the three variables, the ISM Code (B = 0.410) is the most dominant factor, followed by the Port Authority’s Role (B = 0.389), and Vessel Seaworthiness (B = 0.186). These findings highlight that structured internal safety management (ISM Code) has the highest leverage, supported by strong regulatory oversight.

Tax avoidance is a corporate strategy to reduce tax minimizing tax liabilities while remaining compliant with applicable tax regulations. This strategy is considered significant in financial management practices, as it serves as a legitimate and efficient tax planning tool to optimize a company's financial condition. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of leverage, sales growth, and corporate risk on tax avoidance practices in energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020 to 2024. This research employs a quantitative method utilizing secondary data gathered from annual reports of companies, which were accessed via the official website www.idx.co.id and each energy sector company's official website. The analytical method employed in this study is multiple linear regression. The population consists of energy sector firms listed on the IDX during the 2020–2024 period, and a sample of 80 data obtained using purposive sampling based on certain relevant criteria. The results of the study indicate that leverage affects tax avoidance, while sales growth and corporate risk do not affect tax avoidance. Simultaneously, leverage, sales growth, and corporate risk affect tax avoidance.

This research aims to analyze the effect of leverage, liquidity, and sales growth on profitability in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. The study used a purposive sampling method with 69 companies and 276 observation data. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression through SPSS version 26 after classical assumption tests. The results show that leverage (Debt to Equity Ratio) has a negative effect on profitability, while leverage (Debt to Asset Ratio) has no effect. Liquidity measured by the Current Ratio has a positive effect, while the Quick Ratio has no effect on profitability. Sales growth positively affects profitability. Simultaneously, leverage, liquidity, and sales growth significantly influence profitability (Return on Assets) in food and beverage companies. These findings imply that companies should maintain an optimal capital structure and liquidity level to sustain profitability amid competition in the food and beverage sector.

Sea transportation plays a crucial role in supporting national development, particularly in transporting goods and passengers. Tanjung Emas Port in Semarang, as a major port with high traffic, faces significant challenges in ensuring navigational safety. This study aims to analyze the partial effects of three key operational factors—Communication System (X1), Safety Facilities (X2), and Crew Competence (X3)—on Navigational Safety (Y). A quantitative approach was used with a sample of 100 ship crew members, selected using incidental sampling. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) using SPSS. The results indicate that all three independent variables have a positive and significant effect on navigational safety. The regression equation obtained, Y = -1.398 + 0.218X1 + 0.278X2 + 0.302X3 + μ, shows that Crew Competence (X3) is the most dominant variable in predicting navigational safety outcomes. Collectively, these variables explain 72.4% of the variance in navigational safety. These findings emphasize that human competence and adherence to procedural discipline are critical leverage points in improving safety performance at ports.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, liquidity, and asset structure on the capital structure of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period, with firm size as a moderating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from financial statements. The sample was determined through a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 27 banking companies that met the criteria. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results reveal that profitability has a negative and significant effect on capital structure, indicating that banks with higher profitability tend to reduce their dependence on external financing. In contrast, liquidity and asset structure do not have a significant effect on capital structure, suggesting that these factors are less influential in determining debt policy within the banking sector. Furthermore, the MRA results demonstrate that firm size moderates the relationship between profitability and capital structure, implying that larger firms can better manage internal funds to reduce leverage. However, firm size does not moderate the effects of liquidity and asset structure on capital structure. These findings contribute to understanding capital structure determinants in the Indonesian banking industry.

The food and beverage industry are generally known for its stability. Nevertheless, this sub-sector underwent fluctuations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of which was in its firm value. The study investigates how firm value is affected by key organizational characteristics, including financial performance, the scale of the firm, and the rate of sales growth. A firm's value is measured by its PBV (Price to Book Value). The study's measure of financial performance is a combination of Return on Equity (ROE) and the CR, DER, and TATO ratios. This study uses a quantitative approach. The study's population is composed of F&B firms publicly traded on the Indonesia Stock Exchange throughout 2019–2023. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample based on predefined requirements, leading to a total of 125 samples from 25 companies. Data were processed using WarpPLS version 8.0 to evaluate the research model through model fit, structural testing, and hypothesis testing. The results show that the model meets the required fit indices and has strong explanatory power. The findings reveal that profitability (ROE) and leverage (DER) have a positive and significant effect on firm value, while liquidity (CR) and sales growth exert a negative and significant effect. On the other hand, activity ratio (TATO) and firm size do not significantly influence firm value.

This study aims to present evidence on the effect of capital intensity, inventory intensity, and leverage disclosure on tax avoidance. This research utilizes secondary data from financial statements sourced from www.idx.co.id and the official websites of companies in the property and real estate sectors using quantitative research. The proxy used in measuring tax avoidance is using the effective tax rate (ETR) as the dependent variable and the independent variables used include capital intensity, inventory intensity, and leverage. Multiple linear regression analysis is the analysis technique used. The property and real estate sector listed on the IDX in the period 2021 to 2024 is the population in this study and the number of samples collected is 85 data obtained using the purposive sampling method. The findings of this research indicate that capital intensity, inventory intensity, and leverage significantly influence tax avoidance positively. These findings suggest that the higher the level of investment in fixed assets, inventory, and debt-to-equity ratio, the greater the tendency of a company to engage in tax avoidance.

This study aims to examine the effect of Leverage and capital intensity on tax avoidance with independent commissioners as a moderating variable in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Tax avoidance practices in this sector are considered relatively high due to the complexity of fixed asset management and financing structures. The study applies a quantitative approach with an associative method and purposive sampling, resulting in 21 companies as the final sample with a total of 105 observations during the 2020–2024 period. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with SPSS version 25. The results show that leverage has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, indicating that a higher level of debt usage increases the likelihood of tax avoidance through interest expenses. Capital intensity also has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, as higher investment in fixed assets provides opportunities for firms to utilize depreciation expenses in reducing taxable income. The moderating test reveals that independent commissioners do not moderate the relationship between leverage and tax avoidance but significantly moderate the relationship between capital intensity and tax avoidance in a negative direction, thereby weakening the effect. These findings highlight the importance of corporate governance mechanisms through the presence of independent commissioners in mitigating tax avoidance, although their effectiveness remains limited to specific aspects. This study contributes empirically to the taxation and corporate governance literature and provides recommendations for regulators and tax authorities in strengthening tax compliance monitoring in the property sector.

Competition in the songkok (traditional cap) industry in Gresik Regency has become increasingly intense, especially for small enterprises such as UD. Arif Bersaudara, which face challenges in maintaining competitiveness amid changing market trends and consumer preferences. This study aims to analyze effective marketing strategies for UD. Arif Bersaudara by identifying internal and external factors and determining the most appropriate strategic priorities for business development. The research employs the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to identify strategic factors and the QSPM (Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix) to determine the order of strategic priorities. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 92 respondents and analyzed quantitatively using weighting and attractiveness score calculations. The results show that the total IFE Matrix score is 4.80 and the EFE Matrix score is 4.772, placing UD. Arif Bersaudara in the “Grow and Build” strategic position. Based on the QSPM results, the main priority strategy is to leverage superior product quality, design variations, and size diversity to capture opportunities in digital and international markets, with the highest TAS value of 8.37. The study concludes that UD. Arif Bersaudara should focus its strategy on improving product quality and implementing digital marketing to strengthen competitiveness. The strength of this research lies in the application of the combined SWOT–QSPM methods, which provide measurable analytical results, while its limitation lies in the relatively small and region-specific number of respondents. Future research is recommended to expand respondent coverage and incorporate digital marketing–based analysis to make MSME marketing strategies more adaptive to technological developments.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage on profit quality with company size as a moderation variable in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019-2023 period. This research is based on the importance of profit quality as an indicator of real financial performance, as well as the phenomenon of profit management practices that can reduce the quality of financial information. The research method used was quantitative with a causal and associative approach, using secondary data from the financial statements of 65 manufacturing companies over five years. Data analysis techniques include multiple linear regression analysis and moderated regression analysis (MRA) with the help of SPSS software. The results show that profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage have a significant negative effect on the quality of profit. This indicates that the increase in these three variables tends to decrease the quality of profits, which is likely due to profit management practices to maintain the company's financial image. In addition, company size is not able to moderate the relationship between profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage to profit quality. These findings imply that the scale of the company does not affect the strength of the relationship between these variables and the quality of profits. This research makes a theoretical contribution in enriching the accounting literature regarding the factors that affect the quality of profits and the role of company size. Practically, the results of the research can be a reference for company management and investors in improving the transparency and quality of financial reporting.

A competitive company is basically a company that is able to maintain consistency and stability of profits in various business activities, without having to commit acts of fraud that can harm internal and external parties. Achieving high-quality profits is an important indicator of the company's sustainability because it reflects management's ability to effectively manage assets, resources, and business strategies. In the context of this study, the main focus is directed to the effect of leverage, liquidity, and profitability on the quality of profit with the size of the company as a variable of moderation. The study was conducted on food and beverage subsector manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019 to 2023. The research method used is quantitative with analytical descriptive approach. The selection of samples was carried out by purposive sampling technique so that 25 companies were obtained as samples with a total of 125 financial statement data for five years of observation. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that leverage, liquidity and profitability have a negative and significant influence on the quality of profit. This finding shows that the higher the three variables, the quality of profit actually decreases. Furthermore, the results revealed that the size of the company is not able to moderate the relationship between leverage, liquidity, and profitability to the quality of profit.

The Israel–Palestine conflict continues to generate widespread human rights violations, yet international responses are often fragmented due to the political dominance of developed nations, raising critical questions about the effectiveness of human rights protection. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of how such dominance, particularly the use of veto power in the UN Security Council and the provision of direct political and military support, it affects the asymmetry of civilian protection and delays the cessation of hostilities. Using a doctrinal method with normative–qualitative analysis of resolutions, official reports, and global justice frameworks, this research also evaluates the effectiveness of normative diplomacy carried out by Indonesia and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in promoting ceasefires, accountability, and victim recovery. The findings indicate that vetoes and material support create systemic barriers to compliance with humanitarian law, significantly weakening efforts to protect human rights. Nevertheless, Indonesia’s and the OIC’s consistent diplomacy contributes to mobilizing international support, although their policy leverage remains limited in the absence of concrete enforcement mechanisms. The main implication of this study underscores the urgent need for a stronger architecture of global compliance, including restrictions on arms support that prolong conflict, conditioning international aid on human rights compliance, ensuring humanitarian access, and reinforcing the implementation of rulings and provisional measures of international judicial bodies, in pursuit of effective accountability and human rights protection.
