This study was conducted to analyze the implementation of financial management and accounting practices at a Coffee Shop in South Jakarta operating within the MSME sector, with a focus on the importance of structured financial management and the application of standardized accounting as a fundamental element in supporting business sustainability. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method through interviews, direct observations, and document review. The findings indicate that the Coffee Shop has applied a cash-based recording system and utilizes a simple point of sales (POS) application to monitor cash flow and sales transactions. However, the recording of fixed assets, depreciation calculations, and the recognition of liabilities have not fully complied with the guidelines of FAS MSMEs, resulting in financial information that remains limited, lacks transparency, and does not provide a comprehensive overview of the business’s financial condition. Therefore, this study highlights the need to improve human resource capabilities in accounting and to implement simple yet credible accounting software to support more accurate, efficient, and accountable financial reporting. With more professional financial management, business owners will be better equipped to make strategic decisions, strengthen stakeholder trust, and enhance the competitiveness and long-term sustainability of the Coffee Shop.

In the investment world, stock returns are the leading indicator of a company’s performance and the basis for investor decision-making in the capital market. Fluctuations in stock returns reflect market expectations of the company’s prospects. The retail sector in Indonesia is facing significant pressure from post-pandemic shifts in consumer behavior and increased competition. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial distress, company size, liquidity, operating cash flow, and accounting profit on stock returns in retail sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2021 to 2023. This type of research is causally associated with a quantitative approach. The data used is secondary, in the form of financial statements from retail companies. The sampling technique used was purposive, yielding a total of 39 data points from 13 retail companies. Data testing was carried out using SPSS version 24. The results showed that partially, the variables of financial distress, company size, liquidity, and accounting profit had no significant effect on stock returns. Meanwhile, operating cash flow positively impacts stock returns. These findings indicate that fundamental indicators are not always the main determinants of stock returns. Therefore, investors are advised also to consider external factors such as market sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, and government policies that may have a greater influence on stock performance in the capital market.

Financial distress refers to a company’s persistent inability to meet financial obligations, signaling severe monetary strain that precedes formal bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings. This study investigates the impact of intellectual capital (VAICTM), operational capacity (TATO), capital structure (DER), and operating cash flow (OCF) on financial distress (Altman Z-Score), with profitability (ROA) serving as a mediating variable. The theoretical framework of this research is grounded in signaling theory, agency theory, and resource-based view theory. The study focuses on basic materials companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2019 and 2023. The study utilized criterion-based sampling to select qualified respondents. Secondary datasets were analyzed through panel regression and path analysis, with Eviews 12 as the computational tool. Key findings include: (1) intellectual capital and operating capacity demonstrate a statistically significant positive influence on profitability; (2) capital structure exerts a significant adverse impact on profitability; (3) operating cash flow exhibits no statistically discernible impact on profitability; (4) both operating cash flow and profitability are positively and significantly associated with increased financial distress; (5) capital structure displays a significant inverse relationship with financial distress severity; (6) intellectual capital and operating capacity show no statistically significant associations with direct financial distress prediction; (7) profitability partially mediates the influence of intellectual capital, operating capacity, and capital structure on financial distress; and (8) profitability does not serve as a mediating variable between operating cash flow and financial distress.

This study aims to analyze the influence of factors such as financial distress (FD), firm size (SIZE), liquidity (CR), and operating cash flow (OCF) on stock returns in the food and beverage sub-sector industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The issue addressed relates to the importance of analyzing internal company factors in affecting stock returns, particularly in the consumer goods industry. The data used in this study is sourced from annual financial reports published by the companies, with a sample size of 40 data points from 8 companies selected through purposive sampling. In this study, data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression methods via the STATA application. The findings of the study indicate that both financial distress and firm size have a significant impact on stock return performance. On the other hand, the variables of liquidity and operating cash flow do not have a significant impact on the company's stock return. 

Technology sector companies are known for rapid innovation but also face high uncertainty, which is likely to cause financial distress. In Indonesia, several technology firms publicly traded on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) experienced declining profitability and negative operating cash flows during the 2021–2023 period. The aim of this research is to examine the influence of profitability and operating cash flow on financial distress, with firm value as an intervening variable. The research addresses inconsistencies in financial indicators—declining profits do not always indicate financial distress, especially when firm value is not taken into account. Using secondary data from annual reports and the Investing website, this study makes use of a quantitative method involving path analysis. A purposive sampling technique resulted in 78 firm-year observations. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software. It was found that both firm value is positively and significantly affected by profitability and operating cash flow. However, only operating cash flow and firm value have a statistically significant positive relationship with financial distress, unlike profitability. Furthermore, firm value does not mediate the relationship between profitability and financial distress but does mediate the relationship between operating cash flow and financial distress. These findings suggest that operating cash flow is a more reliable indicator than profitability in predicting financial distress and emphasize the mediating role of firm value in financial instability.

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.

This study analyzes the effect of sales growth and capital intensity on operating cash flow at PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya, Tbk during the 2013–2024 period. The research problem raised is whether sales growth and capital intensity have a significant effect on the company's operating cash flow. The purpose of this study is to prove the relationship between these two independent variables and operating cash flow, thus providing a basis for managerial decision-making in Indonesian retail companies. The data used in this study are secondary data in the form of annual financial statements of PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya, Tbk over the last eleven years. The method used is a quantitative approach with regression analysis, preceded by classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation tests to ensure the validity of the regression model. The results show that the residuals are normally distributed, the regression model is free from multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity, but there is positive autocorrelation in the residuals. Simultaneously, sales growth and capital intensity are proven to have a significant effect on the company's operating cash flow. These findings emphasize the importance of efficient management of sales growth and capital intensity in maintaining the stability of operating cash flow.
