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 study examines the inconsistency of merger and acquisition (M&A) impacts on financial ratio performance across sectors and evaluation methods. This literature review synthesizes ten empirical studies published between 2022 and 2025, focusing on financial indicators before and after M&A transactions. The findings show that the effect of M&A on financial performance varies widely depending on the industry context, time horizon, and analytical technique used. Studies in the technology and telecommunication sectors demonstrate significant improvements in profitability and operational efficiency, while research involving manufacturing and non-financial firms commonly reports insignificant changes in key ratios such as current ratio, total asset turnover, return on assets, and return on equity. Methodological differences also influence the reported outcomes, where long-term observations and comparative statistical testing tend to reveal a more pronounced financial impact compared to short-term assessment. These results indicate that M&A does not uniformly drive financial improvement and its success depends on post-integration strategy, sector dynamics, and measurement design. This study highlights the necessity of standardized evaluation frameworks to ensure more reliable performance interpretation in future M&A research.

Break-even point analysis is conducted to assess a company's performance, providing insight into the importance of financial bookkeeping and economic analysis. It can also be used as a consideration for entrepreneurs in making decisions related to sales activities. Break-even point refers to a concept used in financial planning to determine the level of sales or revenue required to cover all costs and expenses, resulting in zero profit or loss. The PKM training is conducted in three stages: the preparation stage, where an initial survey is conducted to determine participants' knowledge of the Break-Even Point (BEP) calculation. The implementation stage, where training is provided to all fishermen on the BEP calculation. The monitoring and evaluation stage, where the implementation of the BEP calculation is monitored and the fishermen's understanding of the break-even point is evaluated. Break-even point (BEP) training is expected to improve business owners' and crew members' understanding of the BEP concept and enable them to apply BEP calculations in decision-making.

This study aims to determine the effect of green accounting on firm profitability, with firm size, leverage, and liquidity as moderating variables. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data analysis derived from annual reports and sustainability reports of energy firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. The study applies multiple regression analysis. The sampling method used is non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 170 observations. The data collection method uses documentation techniques. The results show that green accounting and firm size have a positive effect on profitability, while leverage and liquidity have no effect on profitability. These findings provide important insights into the role of green accounting and firm size in encouraging firms to obtain legitimacy, which can enhance profitability through disclosures in financial reports. The implications of this study demonstrate the application of legitimacy theory and provide benefits to relevant parties, particularly firms and stakeholders associated with the firm, in paying attention to the presentation of high-quality annual and sustainability reports.

This study employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method following the PRISMA 2020 Statement guidelines to identify the main models and indicators used in measuring the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The literature selection process includes the stages of identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion, resulting in ten articles from reputable Q1 international journals. The analysis reveals that the most frequently used performance measurement models are integrated performance models such as the Balanced Scorecard, Performance Prism, and models based on resource capability, customer, internal process, and financial perspectives. Commonly used indicators include sales growth, profitability, market share, customer satisfaction, process flexibility, technology adoption, and business sustainability. The study concludes that although financial measures remain dominant, non-financial dimensions—such as digital capability, stakeholder engagement, and internal process effectiveness—are increasingly important for MSMEs operating in the context of global market dynamics and digital transformation. The implications of this study provide theoretical contributions to the development of MSME performance measurement frameworks and offer practical guidance for MSME managers in selecting indicators that align with the characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises.

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.

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial performance, proxied by profitability (ROA) and liquidity (CR), on firm value measured by Tobin’s Q, with capital structure (DER) as a mediating variable. The research sample consists of 18 startup companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. The method employed is panel data regression analysis, with the best model selected through the Chow Test, Hausman Test, and Lagrange Multiplier Test. The findings indicate that profitability and liquidity have a significant effect on capital structure. However, profitability, liquidity, and capital structure are not proven to have a direct effect on firm value. Furthermore, capital structure does not serve as a mediating variable. These results suggest that traditional financial metrics are not the main factors in assessing startup valuation in the Indonesian capital market. Other aspects, such as growth prospects and innovation, appear to play a more dominant role in determining firm value

The retail industry is highly influenced by the level of consumer spending, which experienced significant changes during the Covid-19 pandemic. PT Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk, as one of the leading retail companies, has sought to maintain its performance through service improvement, technological innovation, and financial management. This study aims to analyze the financial performance of PT Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk for the period 2020–2024 using profitability ratios, including Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE). The results show that both NPM and ROA recorded positive trends until 2023, with NPM peaking at 3.01% and ROA at 6.71%, although both remain below industry standards. Meanwhile, ROE reached its highest level in 2022 at 20.21% before declining in subsequent years. The simultaneous decrease in all ratios in 2024 indicates pressure on net income due to rising costs and imbalances between revenue, assets, and equity growth. Overall, PT Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk demonstrated gradual profitability improvement up to 2023; however, cost control, asset optimization, and balanced capital management strategies are required to sustain future growth.

Inflation, unemployment, and deflation are three fundamental macroeconomic phenomena that are closely interconnected in influencing a nation’s economic stability. These variables illustrate the equilibrium between production capacity, consumption behavior, and government intervention in achieving sustainable economic growth. The main purpose of this study is to explore the interrelationship between inflation, unemployment, and deflation, and to assess their implications for Indonesia’s economic stability. This research applies a qualitative descriptive method, employing literature reviews, document analysis, and secondary data evaluation derived from credible institutions such as the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Bank Indonesia (BI), and the Ministry of Finance. The results suggest that a moderate level of inflation can positively stimulate economic expansion through increased consumption and investment activities. In contrast, excessive inflation tends to erode consumer purchasing power and potentially elevate unemployment rates. Meanwhile, prolonged deflationary conditions may lead to a decline in product prices, reduced business profitability, and slower economic momentum. The interaction among these three factors is complex and dynamic, necessitating a coordinated balance between fiscal and monetary policies to safeguard overall economic stability. This study concludes that effective inflation control, job creation, and deflation prevention are critical elements in strengthening Indonesia’s long-term economic resilience.

These findings highlight the importance of choosing appropriate models for analyzing financial distress in the textile and garment sector.

This study examines the influence of firm size, profitability, solvency, and public accounting firm (KAP) size on audit report lag among food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. The research employs purposive sampling, involving 68 companies with a total of 272 observations, and uses multiple linear regression analysis after passing all classical assumption tests. The findings reveal that profitability measured by Return on Equity (ROE), solvency measured by Debt to Assets Ratio (DAR), and KAP size have a significant effect on audit report lag. Meanwhile, firm size (measured by total assets and total sales), profitability measured by Return on Assets (ROA), and solvency measured by Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) show no significant effect. These results indicate that companies with higher ROE, greater DAR, and those audited by Big Four accounting firms tend to complete their audit process more promptly. The study highlights that both financial performance and auditor characteristics play essential roles in determining audit timeliness. Overall, this research provides valuable insights for management, auditors, investors, and regulators to enhance the efficiency and reliability of financial reporting.  

This material provides an in-depth overview of the fundamental distinctions between Islamic banks and conventional banks, covering their underlying principles, contract types, operational mechanisms, legal frameworks, and organizational structures. Islamic banks operate based on Islamic values derived from the Qur’an, Hadith, and the rulings of the National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI), emphasizing strict prohibitions on riba, gharar, and maysir. Contracts such as wadiah, mudharabah, musyarakah, murabahah, ijarah, salam, and istishna’ are applied to promote fairness and profit-sharing. In contrast, conventional banks rely on positive law and interest-based systems as their primary source of income. Legally, Islamic banks are supervised by the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) to ensure compliance with sharia principles, while conventional banks adhere solely to general financial regulations set by authorities like the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia. The operations of Islamic banks include fund mobilization, financing, and financial services without the use of interest, whereas conventional banks earn revenue from the interest spread between deposits and loans. Although both bank types share a similar organizational structure, Islamic banks incorporate an additional layer of sharia oversight. Overall, Islamic banks aim to balance profitability with ethical and spiritual values (falah), while conventional banks primarily focus on maximizing financial returns. This material highlights Islamic banking as an ethical alternative within modern financial practices, promoting justice, sustainability, and broader economic well-being.

This study aims to evaluate the influence of Green Finance, Profitability, and Capital Structure on Firm Value in the mining sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019 to 2023. The research is motivated by the growing importance of sustainability and financial management strategies in enhancing corporate competitiveness in an increasingly globalized market. A quantitative approach was employed using multiple linear regression analysis, with 22 companies selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that, simultaneously, the three independent variables have a significant effect on firm value. Individually, Green Finance and Capital Structure have a positive and significant influence, while Profitability does not show a significant impact. Capital Structure is found to be the most dominant factor affecting firm value, followed by Green Finance. This suggests that companies with sound capital management and strong commitment to sustainability practices are more valued by the market. This research contributes to both theoretical and practical perspectives in financial management, particularly in understanding how financing strategies and sustainability efforts influence market valuation. The findings also recommend that mining companies strengthen their integration of ESG principles and enhance financial efficiency to support long-term value creation and competitiveness

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.

This study analyzes the effect of operating costs, production costs, and sales volume on net profit in pharmaceutical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2021-2024. Using a quantitative method with panel data regression analysis, this study took a sample of 11 companies and secondary data from financial reports. The results of the hypothesis test show that operating costs, production costs, and sales volume partially have a positive and significant effect on net profit. These findings are consistent with existing literature and indicate that efficient cost management and increased sales volume are crucial factors in maximizing profitability in the pharmaceutical sector. Furthermore, this research is also relevant to Agency Theory, which suggests that management, as agents, must manage costs and sales transparently to align their interests with those of shareholders, ultimately leading to the sustainable increase of company value. This study contributes to understanding key factors driving financial performance in the industry.

This study aims to examine how profits and company size affect tax avoidance in energy companies listed on the stock exchange between 2022 and 2024. This study applies a quantitative approach using secondary data from annual financial reports. The population data was taken from 18 energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, while the sample selection was conducted using purposive sampling. The main phenomenon affecting the test results is the existence of incentives for highly profitable companies to engage in tax avoidance due to the potential for more significant tax savings. In addition, large companies usually have more resources and complex organizational structures, which give them more opportunities to carry out innovative and aggressive tax planning. It is hoped that this study can offer a fresh understanding of tax avoidance practices in the energy sector in Indonesia. The impact of this study is important for authorities to understand the relationship between corporate profitability, entity size, and tax avoidance practices, especially in the energy sector, which plays a strategic role. This understanding can assist in formulating more appropriate taxation policies to maintain economic stability and fiscal justice. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on business entities in the energy sector listed on the Stock Exchange from 2022 to 2024, which is a dynamic period marked by global commodity price fluctuations, changes in energy policy, and significant geopolitical challenges.
