This study aims to evaluate the application of environmental management accounting in the management of work programs at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency. The research is motivated by increasing environmental problems, particularly waste volume and limited management facilities, while environmental management accounting has the potential to assist agencies in identifying, measuring, and reporting environmental costs as a basis for decision-making and public accountability. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results show that the Environmental Agency has implemented environmental management accounting, but its recording is still manual and does not separate environmental costs from general operational costs. This condition complicates cost evaluation and program impact assessment. Work program management has been structured and evaluated regularly, but performance measurement still focuses on output, not long-term environmental impact. Information transparency is also still limited to activity publications. Overall, the application of environmental accounting is at a basic stage and has not been fully integrated into the work program planning and evaluation process. The findings of this study provide theoretical and practical implications in the form of strengthening understanding of the role of environmental management accounting and the need to improve the work program recording and evaluation system at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency.

This study investigates the interconnected roles of board gender diversity and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance on firm performance within Indonesia's distinctive two-tier corporate governance system. Utilizing a panel dataset of 80 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2021 to 2023 and employing a fixed-effects regression model, the analysis measures gender diversity on both the Board of Commissioners (BOC) and Board of Directors (BOD) using the Blau Index, with firm performance proxied by Tobin's Q and ESG performance sourced from Refinitiv Eikon scores. The empirical results reveal that gender diversity on both the BOC and BOD does not have a statistically significant effect on firm performance, failing to support agency, upper echelons, and gender socialization theories. Furthermore, ESG performance demonstrates a significant negative direct effect aligning with the trade-off perspective that current implementation costs outweigh benefits. Crucially, the analysis finds that ESG does not moderate the board diversity-performance relationship, as both interaction terms are statistically insignificant. These findings collectively indicate that the potential governance and strategic advantages of board gender diversity are not being realized in the Indonesian context. The study concludes that this is attributable to several structural barriers, including tokenistic board appointments, the early-stage and often symbolic nature of ESG adoption focused on compliance rather than integration, and a weak institutional environment characterized by voluntary frameworks and socio-cultural constraints that limit the substantive influence of women in governance roles.

This study aims to examine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) costs and financial characteristics on tax avoidance practices among publicly listed companies with the largest market capitalization in Indonesia. The study is motivated by Indonesia’s relatively low tax ratio compared to other emerging economies in the ASEAN region, which suggests the persistence of tax avoidance practices, particularly among large corporations. Grounded in legitimacy theory and agency theory, this research empirically investigates the influence of CSR costs, profitability, leverage, liquidity, activity ratio, growth ratio, and operating cash flow on tax avoidance. The research sample consists of 50 companies with the largest market capitalization listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the 2020–2024 period, employing a census sampling method and unbalanced panel data. Secondary data were obtained from annual financial reports and analyzed using panel data regression techniques. Tax avoidance is measured using the Book-Tax Differences (BTD) approach, while model selection is determined through the Chow test, Hausman test, and Lagrange Multiplier test. The results indicate that, simultaneously, all independent variables have a significant effect on tax avoidance. Partially, the activity ratio has a negative effect on tax avoidance, whereas the growth ratio and operating cash flow have a positive effect on tax avoidance. Meanwhile, CSR costs, profitability, leverage, and liquidity do not show a significant effect. These findings suggest that asset utilization efficiency tends to restrain tax avoidance behavior, while corporate growth dynamics and strong operating cash flows encourage more aggressive tax management strategies. This study provides empirical evidence from an emerging market context and offers insights for tax authorities and regulators in designing more effective, risk-based tax supervision policies.

This study investigates the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and corporate financial distress, with board gender diversity examined as a moderating variable. Using 96 firm-year observations from manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2022–2024), the analysis employs variance-based Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings reveal that ESG performance does not exert a statistically significant effect on financial distress, and gender diversity does not moderate this relationship. These non-significant results constitute the central empirical contribution of the study, highlighting that ESG engagement and gender diversity have yet to translate into financial resilience in the Indonesian manufacturing context. The study underscores the importance of contextual factors—such as implementation costs, authenticity of ESG disclosures, and limited female representation on boards—in shaping the effectiveness of sustainability practices. The results provide theoretical implications for Stakeholder and Agency Theory and offer practical insights for managers, regulators, and investors in emerging markets.

This study examines the effect of liquidity, leverage, cash flow, and managerial agency cost on financial distress among manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Using multiple linear regression analysis, the results show that liquidity and cash flow have a significant negative effect on financial distress, indicating that firms with higher current ratios and stronger operating cash flows are less likely to experience financial difficulties. In contrast, leverage and managerial agency costs have a significant positive effect, suggesting that excessive debt and inefficient managerial spending increase the likelihood of financial distress. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.983 indicates that these four variables explain 98.3% of the variation in financial distress. The findings emphasize the importance of maintaining financial efficiency and controlling agency costs to enhance corporate financial stability.

The purpose of this study is to determine the magnitude of the influence of inflation and interest rates on economic growth in Kupang City. The research used is quantitative research analyzed using the help of the SPSS (statistical package for the social sciences) time series data software program. The data collection for this study is secondary data from the East Nusa Tenggara Central Statistics Agency and Bank Indonesia in 2013-2022 in the form of quarters (time series) in NTT Province. The results of the study show that the results of the regression analysis, inflation does not have a significant effect on economic growth in Kupang City during the 2013-2022 period. The results of the partial test (t-test) show that changes in interest rates play a role in determining the dynamics of economic growth, where lower interest rates tend to encourage increased investment and consumption, while higher interest rates have the potential to restrain economic activity because they increase borrowing costs. The results of the simultaneous test (F test), inflation and interest rates have a significance value of less than 0.05, which means that both variables simultaneously play a role in determining economic growth. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 35.11% indicates that only a small portion of the variation in economic growth can be explained by inflation and interest rates. The remaining 64.89% is influenced by other factors outside the model, such as investment levels, government spending, unemployment rates, fiscal policies, and external factors such as global commodity prices and national economic conditions.

The integration of digital transformation into government agencies' performance management has become essential in enhancing public service delivery, efficiency, and accountability. This study focuses on implementing the Electronic System for Government Agency Performance Accountability (E-SAKIP) in Indonesia as a case study of digital transformation. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design to explore the effectiveness, challenges, and impact of E-SAKIP on performance management. The findings indicate that E-SAKIP has significantly improved transparency and efficiency in government operations, reducing time and costs associated with performance reporting by up to 70%. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, resistance to change, and insufficient training for government employees have hindered its full potential. The study underscores the need for ongoing support, including enhanced infrastructure, continuous training, and stronger leadership to ensure successful digital transformation. These insights offer valuable recommendations for further development of E-SAKIP and similar systems in other government contexts.

The result of R2 test shows that variable (Y) is influenced by variable (X) of 42.9% and the remaining 51.7% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study. And the simultaneous F test shows that variable (X) has a significant effect on variable (Y).

Increasing technological developments require many parties to always adjust to all kinds of changes that will occur in the future, both economic conditions, government regulations, consumer conditions, and conditions of competitors. The way companies communicate with their investors has also changed, as a result of the rapid development of the internet. The internet that companies use to report financial information to investors is called Internet Financial Reporting (IFR). Today, IFR has been put forward by most countries because it can minimize the negative effects of information asymmetry, reduce agency costs, reduce capital costs, and increase firm value. Companies in achieving their goals are faced with uncertain conditions. The purpose of this study is to find out how the differences between IFR and ERM in commercial banks in Indonesia with high and low market capitalization values. This research is a non-static analytical descriptive study. The sample used is only two commercial banks to be compared. The results of the comparative analysis carried out showed that there was no significant difference in the implementation of IFR, but in the implementation of ERM there were significant differences.  

The development of science and technology in various fields in the era of globalization is felt to be very advanced. So that information is something that is needed in a fast, precise and accurate. Many conveniences are promised in a variety of information technologies. There is one fact that cannot be denied that this information has become an expensive commodity, if a company or agency cannot uphold the information that it needs most, then the procurement of information itself will obviously drain resources and funds. In doing business, PD. BPR BKK Demak Kota already has and uses an adequate accounting, deposit and credit information system. One of the strategies applied by PD. BPR BKK Demak Kota in collecting funds is the Ball Pick Up System, which is by visiting individual and institutional customers. While the institutions that have been served by PD. BPR BKK Demak Kota are schools, one of which is SMA Negeri 3 Demak. The service is in the form of an education fee payment. In serving the payment of school education costs in SMA 3 Demak, PD. BPR BKK Demak Kota still uses the conventional way, that is by receiving deposits from students, the data is recorded in the admission book and after adding up with a calculator, the result is that service is very slow. To overcome the problems mentioned above, it is necessary to build a system that can accelerate the process of receiving tuition fee payments and can produce a more detailed report on school fees both those who have paid and those who have not yet paid. One such system is utilizing VPN (Virtual Private Notwork) technology. Based on the description of the problem above, it becomes an impetus for the writer to be able to solve this system as well as possible and is very background for the writing of the Thesis which is planned to be realized using the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 program language
