This study aims to assess the financial performance of 11 non-financial companies that conducted acquisitions in 2025 and are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Using a quantitative descriptive-comparative approach with a case study design, six financial ratios were analyzed: Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Total Asset Turnover (TATO), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE). Data were obtained from consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 (pre-acquisition) and December 31, 2025 (post-acquisition). The results show that the impact of acquisitions varies across companies. No consistent or significant differences were found in the CR, DAR, DER, ROA, or ROE ratios between the two periods. Meanwhile, the TATO ratio tended to decrease after the acquisition, indicating that the newly consolidated assets have not yet operated optimally. These findings confirm that the short-term financial impact of an acquisition is heavily influenced by the transaction’s funding structure, the size of the acquired entity, and the industry sector. This study contributes to the financial accounting literature on corporate acquisition strategies in the Indonesian capital market.

Mergers and acquisitions have served as a primary strategy for global banking consolidation over the past three decades, including in Indonesia, which is currently undergoing one of its most massive consolidation waves—one notable example being the emergence of Bank Syariah Indonesia. This article aims to provide a narrative review of the literature on the operational impacts of mergers on bank performance, with a particular focus on implications for the Indonesian context. Based on a systematic search of the Scopus database, 52 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2025 were analyzed using a narrative thematic synthesis approach. Five main themes were identified: cost efficiency, service quality, risk management, human resource and cultural integration, and information systems and technology integration. The key findings indicate that although 73.1% of studies report post-merger improvements in cost efficiency, these benefits are highly contingent upon the quality of post-merger integration especially in the areas of human resources, organizational culture, and information technology with IT integration failure rates reaching as high as 75%. Domestic mergers consistently achieve efficiency gains more rapidly than cross-border mergers, whereas risk implications depend heavily on the type of merger and the quality of integration. Policy implications include the need for the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan) to monitor post-merger integration quality, provide integration guidelines for smaller banks, take into account the specific characteristics of Islamic banks, and ensure a streamlined, non-burdensome licensing process. Further research particularly empirical studies on banking mergers in Indonesia—is urgently needed to test the generalizability of global findings to the local context.

This study aims to analyze the impact of business combinations through acquisition on the financial performance of PT Sarana Menara Nusantara Tbk. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach, focusing on the acquiring firm in the Indonesian telecommunications infrastructure sector. The data used are secondary data obtained from the company’s annual financial statements for the period 2019–2023, sourced from the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the company’s official website. Financial performance is analyzed using Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Net Profit Margin (NPM), and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) by comparing the periods before, during, and after the acquisition conducted in 2021. The results indicate that the acquisition exerted short-term pressure on asset efficiency and profitability, as reflected by the decline in ROA and NPM in the year of acquisition. However, in the post-acquisition period, the company demonstrated an improvement in operational performance, particularly in Net Profit Margin, suggesting that the economic benefits of the business combination gradually materialized. Meanwhile, fluctuations in ROE and DER reflect adjustments in the capital structure following the acquisition. These findings suggest that the success of an acquisition cannot be evaluated solely based on short-term financial performance but requires continuous assessment to capture its medium- and long-term effects. This study provides practical implications for management in formulating post-acquisition integration strategies and contributes empirically to the accounting and finance literature on business combinations in Indonesia.

Parental involvement is widely acknowledged as a key factor in student academic success, particularly in second language acquisition. However, its impact at the university level, especially among pre-service English teachers, remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between parental involvement and English language achievement among first-year English Education students at Universitas Islam Kalimantan Muhammad Arsyad Al Banjari Banjarmasin (UNISKA). Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 36 purposively selected participants using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire. The instrument measured both the forms and frequency of parental involvement and students’ self-reported performance in English-related subjects. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation via SPSS 26. Findings indicate that students generally perceive moderate to high levels of parental involvement, especially in providing academic resources, financial support, and attending university-related events. However, involvement in educational decision-making and career discussions was notably low. A significant positive correlation was found between parental involvement and students' academic performance, particularly in aspects such as discipline, assignment completion, and encouragement. Emotional impacts such as increased motivation or reduced anxiety showed more mixed responses. These findings highlight the enduring influence of parental support in higher education and suggest further exploration of its emotional dimensions.

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.

This study investigates the effectiveness of digital transformation in enhancing client acquisition, using a case study of a lamp business in Indonesia. Established in 2021, the company initially operated through traditional offline channels but expanded to online platforms in 2022, integrating digital tools including AI-based financial management systems to streamline operations and support decision-making. The research focuses on comparing offline and online strategies, examining key performance indicators such as revenue contribution, customer acquisition costs, conversion rates, and operational challenges encountered in both modes. In addition, the study explores whether the observed revenue growth following digitalization is primarily driven by online sales or whether it benefits from a hybrid approach that combines both online and offline channels. By analyzing these aspects, the study seeks to provide insights into the practical implications of digital transformation for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly in the Indonesian market. The findings are expected to clarify whether adopting digital strategies offers a measurable advantage over traditional methods in terms of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and market reach. Ultimately, this research aims to inform SME owners and managers about best practices for leveraging digital tools to enhance client acquisition and drive sustainable business growth.

One of the business strategies used by companies to strengthen their business and reduce competition is through acquisitions. This study was conducted to determine changes in financial performance after the acquisition process, measured using liquidity, activity, solvency, and profitability ratios. The population of this study was companies that made acquisitions in 2022. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, and four companies that conducted acquisitions in 2022 and were listed on the IDX were obtained. The research period was two years before and two years after the acquisition. The hypothesis was tested with a non-parametric test using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Based on the results of the study, it is known that of the four financial ratios, only the activity ratio had a significant difference before and after the acquisition. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in the liquidity, solvency, and profitability ratios. This is because the impact of the acquisition process cannot be seen in the short term. It takes integration and a long time to create synergy or change after an acquisition.  

This article aims to analyze the differences in stock performance before and after mergers and acquisitions in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The problem focuses on the impact of mergers and acquisitions on stock performance indicators, such as Stock Returns, Price Earnings Ratio (PER), Price to Book Value (PBV), and Earnings Per Share (EPS). In order to approach this problem, theoretical references from financial management and market efficiency theory are used. Data were collected through financial statements of companies undergoing mergers and acquisitions in the 2018-2020 period and analyzed quantitatively using normality tests and significant difference tests with paired sample t-tests. This study concludes that mergers and acquisitions have a significant effect on increasing several stock performance indicators, especially Stock Returns and PBV, although the impact on PER and EPS varies depending on the industry sector and market conditions. The results of this study are expected to provide insight for investors and business actors in assessing the effectiveness of mergers and acquisitions as a company growth strategy.

The study examines Nigeria's resource allocation and usage as the gap in the country's pursuit of sustainable progress. The primary goal of the study is to investigate how Nigeria has struggled to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to inefficient use and distribution of financial, human, and material resources. Human and material resources are essential in every aspect of a company. An organization's ability to advance in all directions might be hindered by poorly managed human and material resources. Resources management offers a systematic assessment, requisitioning, and approval process for the evaluation and acquisition of products, equipment, and resources. The goal of resources management is to continuously seek opportunities to reduce costs and improve performance through the cost-effective selection and standardization of products, equipment, and related processes. A successful and efficient local government system will be preceded by well-managed human resources and material resources. while preserving or raising the standard of the services and care that are offered to the public. Subjectivism serves as the ontological orientation in this study, which employs a qualitative approach grounded in interpretivist philosophy. According to the study's findings, corruption, ethnic prejudices, poor governance, a lack of accountability, a lack of transparency, and unnecessary expenditure on pointless activities have all contributed to Nigeria's egregious inefficiency in resource allocation and use. According to the study's conclusion, Nigeria would be headed toward sustainable development if appropriate project planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation were done transparently and resources were used and distributed effectively. Therefore, the report suggests that Nigeria adopt economic and technical efficiencies in the distribution and use of its resources in order to achieve the aims of sustainable development.

Financial performance is a description of a company's activities. Good financial performance can reflect the health conditions of good financial governance as well. The aim of this research is to analyze how the acquisition affects financial performance before and after the acquisition.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are widely recognized as strategic instruments for corporate growth, restructuring, and competitive advantage. This semantic review synthesizes recent Scopus‑indexed literature to examine the strategic implications and performance outcomes of M&A. The study highlights that strategic alignment between acquiring and target firms is fundamental to synergy realization, operational efficiency, and innovation. Managerial expertise emerges as a decisive factor, with effective leadership ensuring smooth integration and long‑term value creation. Market dynamics, including economic volatility, regulatory changes, and geopolitical tensions, significantly influence M&A strategies and outcomes, while technological integration accelerates digital transformation and enhances competitive positioning. Cultural fit is identified as a critical determinant of organizational cohesion, with misalignment often leading to employee resistance and reduced productivity. Financial outcomes vary, ranging from profitability improvements through economies of scale to underperformance caused by overestimated synergies or poor integration. Furthermore, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are increasingly shaping M&A strategies, reinforcing stakeholder trust and sustainable value creation. By adopting a holistic approach that integrates strategic foresight, managerial acumen, market awareness, technological innovation, and sustainability, firms can optimize M&A as a tool for growth and resilience in dynamic global markets.

This research analyzes the satisfaction level of PERISAI agents regarding BPJS Ketenagakerjaan regulations at the Darmo Surabaya Branch Office. The PERISAI program, launched in 2018, represents a strategic innovation in the agency system to expand membership, particularly in the Non-Wage Recipient (BPU) sector. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving participatory observation over four months (September-December 2024), in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. Results indicate that the PERISAI policy transformation since May 2022, particularly the increase in contribution incentives from 7.5% to 15%, has positively impacted agent motivation. The reward system combining financial and non-financial incentives through gathering programs and point systems proves effective in building loyalty. Success in achieving BPU participant acquisition targets is influenced by agents' ability to develop personal approaches and build local community networks. The integration of digital platforms in acquisition processes and performance monitoring enhances operational efficiency. Capacity development programs through cross-generational communication training and social security fund management provide a strong foundation for PERISAI agents' task execution.

This study aims to determine the performance of KCU Pintu Air by using the balanced scorecard method. This research method is a quantitative descriptive method. The data in this study were obtained from documentation in the form of financial reports and distributing questionnaires. The population in this study was KCU Pintu Air with a sample of a financial perspective in the form of financial reports, a customer perspective with a sample of 44 members, an internal business process perspective and a growth and learning perspective with a sample of 27 employees. The findings of this study show that the performance of KCU Pintu Air when measured using the balanced scorecard method results in a rating scale of 0.2 which lies between 0-0.6 which indicates that the cooperative's performance is quite good. The results of perspective calculations in the balanced scorecard are financial perspective calculations with unfavorable results, this is because most of the PEARLS ratio calculation results are in the bad category. The customer perspective shows good results, which are obtained from indicators of member retention and member acquisition which experience fluctuations and indicators of member satisfaction as much as 79% of members are satisfied with cooperative services. The internal business process perspective shows very good results, which are obtained from the results of the questionnaire with an operational efficiency indicator of 80% and an indicator of competitive position of 83%, which means that the respondents stated that they were very satisfied. The growth and learning perspective shows good results obtained from the results of employee satisfaction indicators as much as 91% of employees who express attitudes towards very high satisfaction, employee retention indicators that show good results and employee productivity indicators that experience fluctuations during the study period.

This research is motivated by a decrease in the Liquidity Ratio in cash and cash equivalents due to an increase in investment acquisition and purchase of fixed assets which will cause depreciation expenses in the coming years to be greater which will directly reduce the company's profit. The Solvency Ratio has increased due to an increase in debt which will directly increase interest expenses, so it must be covered from operating profit. The Profitability Ratio has decreased in current year profit because the increasing amount of expenses will reduce net profit. The Activity Ratio has decreased inventory turnover due to decreased sales which has resulted in an increase in the amount of inventory. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Liquidity, Solvency, Profitability and Activity on Financial Performance at PT. Adi Sarana Armada Tbk. which is listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive method, the data in this study uses secondary data. Based on the results of the study, it shows that Liquidity ratio using Current Ratio has a partial positive effect on Financial Performance with Good criteria, this shows the company's ability to pay short-term obligations. Solvency ratio using Debt To Equity Ratio does not have a partial effect on Financial Performance with Poor criteria, this shows the company's inability to meet long-term obligations because risk assessment is ineffective, resulting in a greater risk of loss. Profitability ratio using Return On Asset does not have a partial effect on Financial Performance with Poor criteria, this shows that it is inefficient in using its assets to generate profits and ineffectiveness in accounts receivable turnover so that the small capital invested. Activity ratio using Total Asset Turn Over has a partial positive effect on Financial Performance with Very Good criteria, this shows the company's ability to utilize its assets to generate income.

In light of the increasing degree of competition in the international business environment resulting from the technological changes that have occurred recently, which has made companies rely on elements through which they can increase the companies’ capabilities to compete and achieve what they aim for, and for this reason the human element (human capital) was the factor. It is decisive in increasing productivity and companies’ abilities to compete in light of the changing and evolving business environment, as the research showed that there is a major role for human capital in increasing the financial performance of the research sample (Al-Janoob Islamic Bank) and achieving high profit levels as a result of that company’s acquisition of competent and skilled human capital. The research compared two different periods in terms of the company’s management at the levels of executive management and the board of directors, and after the bank applied governance and separated ownership of the institution from management, and competent banking and professional cadres took over the management of that company, which was characterized by efficiency and effectiveness, as the research showed the existence of a close and strong relationship between human capital. Efficiency and financial performance represented by the profitability index, where the level of profits achieved before the change of management was low, while it took an upward trend gradually after the change of management and the application of governance. This confirms the relationship between two variables in achieving what the institution aims to achieve in its current and future strategies.

The aim of this research is to analyze the comparison of financial performance and stock returns before and after mergers and acquisitions which are moderated by good corporate governance. This research applies comparative quantitative methods, using secondary data. A population of 21 companies that have carried out merger and acquisition activities were registered with the KPPU in 2021 and listed on the IDX during the 2019-2023 period. A sample of 11 companies was obtained with a 4 year observation span using the purposive sampling method. The data analysis used was IBM SPSS version 27 software with hypothesis testing, namely paired sample t-test, t test, R2 test, and MRA test. The research results show that the ROA, CR, DER, TATO, EPS and Stock Return variables do not show differences before and after carrying out mergers and acquisitions. The proportion of independent board of commissioners cannot moderate the influence of ROA, CR and EPS on merger and acquisition performance. The proportion of independent board of commissioners can moderate the influence of DER, TATO, and Share Return on merger and acquisition performance.

Using a literature research methodology, this paper investigates how business combination accounting was implemented both before and after PSAK 22, which is now known as PSAK 103 on Business Combinations. This research analyzes profit margin, return on equity (ROE), and return on assets (ROA) to assess the impact of PSAK 22 on the business's financial performance. Prior to PSAK 22, businesses often employed the "purchase method" or "pooling of interest." Results from prior research indicate that ROA, ROE, and profit margins are significantly impacted by business combinations. Although financial performance is frequently improved by mergers and acquisitions, the outcomes differ among industries. This article requires a broader range of information in order to function as a reference for future study on business combinations with PSAK 22/103 case studies and more diverse variables.

Financial performance reflects the quality of the company may be at risk. The pandemic has resulted in various sectors, including a decline in profits. The acquisition business development strategy is used to survive in a condition. Acquisition is the process of taking over ownership resulting in the transfer of control. The research objective analyzes the differences in banking financial performance before and after being acquired by the acquiring company. Financial performance is observed from liquidity with current ratio, solvency measured debt to total asset ratio, profitability measured return on assets, activity measured total asset turnover, and market measured earnings per share. Data after being collected is processed descriptive statistics and normality tests so as to find normally distributed data will be tested through paired sample t-test while data that is not normally distributed is tested by the Wilcoxon signed rank method. The average descriptive statistical results after experiencing an increase in performance. The results of hypothesis testing show that there is a difference in significant improvement in liquidity and activity ratios, there is a significant decrease in solvency, while based on profitability and market there is no significant improvement. Overall the results show that the acquired banks have not fully achieved synergy, the company must review economic conditions when planning development strategies in order to achieve synergy.
