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.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between managerial ownership, institutional ownership, audit committee, and research and development (R&D) expenses on Intellectual Capital Disclosure (ICD) in healthcare sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. Intellectual Capital Disclosure is essential as it reflects a company’s ability to manage knowledge, innovation, and human resources that serve as its competitive advantage. This research employs a quantitative approach using the total sampling method, where all healthcare sector companies that meet the criteria are included as samples. Secondary data were obtained from annual reports and analyzed using panel data regression with the assistance of Stata 19 software. Model selection was conducted through Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier (LM) tests, with the results indicating that the Random Effect Model (REM) was the most appropriate model to use. The results show that managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and audit committee have negative and insignificant relationships with Intellectual Capital Disclosure. In contrast, research and development activities have a positive and significant relationship with Intellectual Capital Disclosure.

This research investigates the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), along with Capital Intensity, Company Scale, and Profitability, on practices of Tax Evasion within energy firms registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2022 to 2024. The matter of tax evasion endures as a major concern, given its effects on government funds and business openness. By employing a quantitative method featuring a causal-associative structure, the study empirically explores the links between these factors. Information from secondary sources, including yearly reports and sustainability documents, was collected and examined through multiple linear regression analysis via IBM SPSS version 26. The findings show that CSR exerts a positive and meaningful influence on Tax Evasion, whereas Capital Intensity and Company Scale demonstrate positive influences that lack significance. In opposition, Profitability displays a negative and meaningful effect on Tax Evasion. As a whole, the independent factors together exert a significant influence on tax evasion behaviors. These outcomes strengthen agency and legitimacy theories, implying that CSR initiatives could function as a tool for securing legitimacy in handling tax duties while promoting long-term corporate adherence to fiscal obligations.

This study aims to analyze the effect of institutional ownership and firm size on auditdelay with audit quality as a moderating variable in 54 mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. Using a quantitative approach with panel regression analysis, The audit delay is calculated using the number of days between the end of the financial year and issuance date of the audited financial statements; Institutionelles Eigentum is calculated by percentage institutional shareholding; firm size by the natural logarithm of total assets; and audit quality is proxied by the reputation of the Public Accounting Firm (Big Four and Non-Big Four). The results show that institutional ownership has no effect on audit delay, firm size has a negative effect on audit delay, and audit quality weakens the negative effect of both institutional ownership and firm size on audit delay. These findings highlight the need for companies and auditors to reconsider the effectiveness of monitoring mechanisms and audit quality to achieve more optimal audit completion.

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 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.

Environmental sustainability has become an essential approach for companies to enhance their competitive advantage and reputation. This study examines the effect of ownership structure on sustainability performance and firm value. This study uses data from state-owned enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Ownership structure is proxied by institutional ownership, management ownership, and public ownership; sustainability performance is proxied by the total economic score, environmental score, and social score; and firm value is proxied by Tobin's Q. Our results reveal that ownership structure (management ownership, institutional ownership, and public ownership) have a direct effect on firm value, but indirectly do not have an indirect effect on firm value through CSR does not mediate the relationship between management ownership and institutional ownership with firm value. The unique findings of this study indicate that CSR mediates the relationship between public ownership and firm value. Public ownership partially mediates the relationship between firm type and firm value. The implications of this study will be significant for policymakers, corporate management, academics, and investors in considering the adoption and importance of corporate environmental practices.

The rapid development of Islamic banking in Indonesia faces significant challenges in maintaining liquidity and profitability amidst dynamic capital market conditions. The urgency of this study arises from the need to examine whether traditional financial ratios, such as the Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Return on Equity (ROE), play a decisive role in influencing investment decisions, which are proxied by the Price to Earning Ratio (PER). The main objective of this research is to empirically test the effect of liquidity and profitability, both partially and simultaneously, on investment decisions in Islamic commercial banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2025 period. This study adopts an associative design with a quantitative approach, utilizing secondary data from financial reports obtained from the IDX, and analyzed using multiple linear regression on 68 observation samples. The findings reveal that neither liquidity nor profitability significantly influence investment decisions, either partially or simultaneously. These results suggest that investors in the Islamic banking sector tend to prioritize non-financial factors such as sharia compliance, governance, macroeconomic conditions, and ESG trends, rather than conventional financial indicators. In conclusion, this research extends the understanding of the limitations of Signaling Theory in the sharia context and recommends the development of a more holistic investment evaluation model. Future studies are encouraged to incorporate non-financial variables for a more comprehensive analysis.

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 purpose of this research was to analyze the role of profitability in moderating the relationship green accounting, environmental performance, and total asset turnover on firm value in the 2019-2023 food and beverage subsector. All food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in that period became the research population. The purposive sampling technique resulted in 80 companies. Analyzed were using Descriptive Statistics, Classical Assumption Tests, Hypothesis Testing, and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA).The result show that green accounting has a negative and significant effect on firm value, while environmental performance has a positive and significant effect.Total asset turnover does not significantly affect firm value. Furthermore, profitability is proven to moderate the relationship between green accounting and environmental performance with firm value but does not moderate the effect of total asset turnover. Based on these findings, green accounting plays a role in influencing firm value, although it is not the primary factor determining investors assessments. The implementation of environmental performance is more widely perceived as a form of social responsibility and sustainability that enhances public trust and market value. Meanwhile, efficiency in asset utilization through total asset turnover is not considered a key determinant in increasing firm value.

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.

This study aims to examine and analyze the influence of debt maturity and cash holding on dividend policy, the effect of debt maturity and cash holdings on company value, and the effect of debt maturity and cash holdings on company value through dividend policies in banking sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020-2023 period. The sampling technique uses the purposive sampling method. Secondary data was obtained from the annual financial statements. The data analysis method uses path analysis with two structural equations to test the direct and indirect influence of independent variables on dependent variables through intervening variables. The results of the structural equation 1 study show that debt maturity has no effect on dividend policy, and cash holdings have an effect on dividend policy. The results of structural equation 2 show that debt maturity affects the value of the company and cash holdings have no effect on the value of the company. The results of the testing of intervening variables show that dividend policy can mediate debt maturity to company value and dividend policy can mediate cash holdings to company value. The predictive ability of the two variables on the dividend policy was 13.6% and the remaining 12.6% was influenced by other variables outside the research model and the predictability of the three variables on the company's value was 15.7% and the remaining 14.7% was influenced by other variables outside the research model.

Indonesia's tax ratio remains below the 15 percent threshold recommended by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), reflecting a significant gap in tax revenue collection. This low ratio may indicate the presence of aggressive tax planning strategies, including tax avoidance practices, particularly among multinational enterprises. This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between multinationality, transfer pricing aggressiveness, and the use of tax havens on tax avoidance. The research focuses on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019–2023. A total of 64 companies were selected as samples through purposive sampling based on specific criteria, including the availability of relevant financial data and disclosure of international operations. The variables analyzed include the degree of multinationality, transfer pricing aggressiveness as proxied by related party transactions, and involvement with tax haven jurisdictions. The dependent variable, tax avoidance, is measured using the effective tax rate (ETR) approach. Data were processed and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the aid of STATA version 17. The findings of the study reveal that multinationality and transfer pricing aggressiveness do not have a significant relationship with tax avoidance. In contrast, the use of tax haven countries is positively associated with tax avoidance, suggesting that firms utilizing tax havens are more likely to engage in practices that reduce their tax liabilities. These results have implications for tax authorities in identifying and addressing high-risk corporate behaviors related to offshore financial structures. The study contributes to the literature on international taxation by providing empirical evidence from a developing country context.

This study investigates the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Risk Ratings on stock prices of companies listed in the ESG Leaders Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020–2023. Using the Ohlson (1995) valuation model as the theoretical framework, the research examines the value relevance of financial information—proxied by Book Value per Share (BVPS) and Earnings per Share (EPS)—and non-financial information in the form of ESG risk ratings. The study employs purposive sampling, resulting in an unbalanced panel dataset of 120 firm-year observations. Panel regression analysis with the Random Effect Model (REM) is applied, supported by classical assumption tests and sensitivity analysis. The findings reveal that BVPS has a positive and significant effect on stock prices, highlighting its role as a stable and value-relevant measure for investors. By contrast, EPS shows a positive but insignificant relationship, confirming the declining relevance of earnings in the Indonesian market. Moreover, ESG Risk Ratings exhibit a negative but statistically insignificant effect, suggesting that while firms with higher ESG risks tend to be valued lower, sustainability considerations are not yet consistently incorporated into equity valuation by Indonesian investors. These results imply that financial fundamentals, particularly BVPS, remain the dominant factor in stock price determination, whereas ESG information has not yet achieved value relevance in the Indonesian context. The study underscores the need for stronger regulatory enforcement, standardized ESG disclosure, and greater investor awareness to enhance the integration of sustainability risks into capital market decision-making.

The study aimed to examine how earnings management, particularly in transportation, utilities, and infrastructure companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), is influenced by tax planning, company size, and financial condition. The research method employed quantitative secondary data analysis using inner model analysis and processed with SmartPLS 4.0. The study population comprised transportation, utilities, and infrastructure companies listed on the IDX between 2017 and 2021, with a total of 52 companies as samples, resulting in 243 data points collected for this study. The results showed that financial condition had a positive impact on earnings management, while company size had a negative impact. Tax planning had no effect on earnings management. The study population comprised transportation, utilities, and infrastructure companies listed on the IDX between 2017 and 2021, with a total of 52 companies as samples, resulting in 243 data points collected for this study. This broad sample size enhances the reliability of the findings, ensuring that they are representative of the sector as a whole. The data was gathered from publicly available financial statements, offering an accurate reflection of the companies' financial performance over the period in question. The results showed that financial condition had a positive impact on earnings management, suggesting that companies in better financial health are more likely to engage in earnings management practices. On the other hand, company size had a negative impact, indicating that larger companies may be subject to stricter regulatory scrutiny, thus limiting their ability to manipulate earnings. Interestingly, tax planning had no effect on earnings management, possibly indicating that companies may not view tax strategies as a significant driver of earnings management practices.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, leverage, and dividend policy on firm value in the energy sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period. The energy sector was selected due to its strategic role in the national economy and its contribution to the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG). Out of 81 energy sector firms, 22 firms were obtained as samples using a purposive sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using the path analysis technique. The results show that profitability has a significant effect on firm value, while leverage has no effect. Dividend policy also has no effect on firm value, whereas profitability has no effect on dividend policy, and leverage has a significant negative effect on dividend policy. Furthermore, dividend policy is unable to mediate the relationship between profitability and leverage with firm value. These findings imply that firm value is more influenced by profitability factors than by leverage or dividend policy. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for firm management, investors, and policymakers in making future financial decisions.

Sustainability reporting has been increasingly popular in recent years as businesses become more aware of environmental challenges. 96% of the top businesses in the world have implemented sustainability reporting practices, according to a KPMG survey. The effect of sustainability reporting practices on environmental performance is examined in this study. Sustainability reports, the implementation of GRI standards, and external assurance are used to gauge sustainability reporting procedures; firm size is used as a control variable. In this study, 305 observational data from manufacturing firm over a five-year period (2018-2022) were analysed quantitatively using binary logistic regression. The findings indicate that while the use of GRI standards has a positive and significant effect on environmental performance, sustainability reports and external assurance have no significant effect. These findings show that the implementation in GRI standards encourages business commitment to sustainable practices and transparency, both of which have a significant impact on environmental performance. In the meanwhile, external assurance and sustainability reports tend to be mostly symbolic and do not demonstrate a real commitment to environmental improvement. Environmental performance is positively impacted by the control variable, firm size. These findings suggest that a company's environmental performance is correlated with its size. As a control variable, firm size contributes to maintaining and clarifying the relationship between environmental performance and sustainability practices while ensuring objective and valid study findings. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening the quality of sustainability reporting and expanding the application of external standards and assurance to improve the credibility and accountability of corporate environmental performance in Indonesia.

Banking stability plays a crucial role in maintaining financial system resilience and supporting national economic growth. Fluctuations in macroeconomic factors often impact banks' financial health, particularly their capital. This study aims to explore how macroeconomic factors such as inflation, central bank benchmark interest rates, and gross domestic product (GDP) impact capital adequacy ratio (CAR) in conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2024. This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative design, utilizing secondary data. The sample size for this study was 43 conventional banks. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression using SPSS. The findings indicate that inflation and benchmark interest rates do not significantly impact financial health, while GDP indicators show a modest positive trend. These findings confirm that macroeconomic conditions are not yet a dominant factor in determining bank capital adequacy. Therefore, it is suspected that internal factors such as risk management, profitability, and operational efficiency play a greater role in maintaining bank capital stability.
