This study aims to analyze the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance on financial misreporting, with investor attention as a moderating variable in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2022 period. The theoretical framework is grounded in Agency Theory and Legitimacy Theory to explain the role of ESG as an internal control mechanism and a means of gaining external legitimacy. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data from annual reports and sustainability reports. Financial misreporting is proxied by earnings management measured through discretionary accruals, while ESG performance is assessed using the GRI Standards index, and investor attention is proxied by institutional ownership. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings reveal that all three ESG dimensions (environmental, social, and governance) have a significant negative effect on earnings management. Institutional investor attention is found to strengthen the negative relationship between environmental and social aspects with earnings management, but weaken the influence of governance. These results indicate that institutional investors tend to be more responsive to environmental and social issues compared to governance aspects. Practically, this study provides empirical evidence that ESG implementation can serve as a control instrument against financial misreporting in the banking sector, while theoretically enriching the literature on investor moderation in the relationship between ESG and earnings management practices.

Tax avoidance can be detrimental to the country because it reduces the state's revenue. This study aims to analyze the effect of sales growth, capital intensity, and earnings management on tax avoidance with company size as a moderating variable. The population of this study comprises 221 manufacturing companies listed on the IDX in 2020-2024, with a sample of 64 companies selected via purposive sampling based on specific criteria, yielding a total of 320 observations analyzed using panel data regression (E-Views 12). The results show that sales growth directly affects tax avoidance, and company size moderates the relationship between sales growth and tax avoidance. However, capital intensity and earnings management do not have a significant effect, and company size cannot moderate the relationship between capital intensity and earnings management with tax avoidance. These findings emphasize that high sales growth can encourage companies to comply with tax regulations, thereby reducing tax avoidance, and that this effect can be suppressed by large company size due to greater reputational pressure and scrutiny. This study expands on previous research by making company size a moderating variable in the relationship between sales growth, capital intensity, and earnings management and tax avoidance.

Green accounting procedures have been adopted by numerous companies in response to the growing global focus on environmental responsibility. Nonetheless, monetary instability is still a major obstacle that can reduce productivity in Indonesia's manufacturing sector. The purpose of this research is to analyze industrial businesses listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023 and see how green accounting, financial crisis, and earnings management affect financial performance. The population in this study consists of 68 industrial sector companies, with a sample of 7 companies selected through purposive sampling based on 4 criteria. We used EViews software and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) for a quantitative approach. First, financial distress has a significant impact on financial performance. Second, green accounting has a significant positive effect on financial performance. Third, earnings management does not moderate the relationship between financial distress and financial performance. Fourth, earnings management does not moderate the relationship between green accounting and financial performance. With an Adjusted R-Square value of 79.73%, the study model has a high level of explanatory power. It may be used to explain the majority of the variation in financial performance. This shows that the constructed model is applicable and fits the empirical data well. Transparent reporting and real sustainability initiatives are still vital for improving company results, according to these results, as profits management methods do not change the impact of environmental and financial variables, which are important drivers of performance.

This study focuses on examining the relationship between tax planning, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities on earnings management. The research method used is quantitative with a descriptive approach. The population of the study consists of manufacturing companies in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2022–2023. The sample comprises 47 company financial statements obtained through purposive sampling, with secondary data as the main source. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to determine the relationship between the variables under study: tax planning, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, and earnings management. The results indicate that tax planning and deferred tax liabilities significantly affect earnings management. This suggests that companies can use tax planning strategies to influence reported earnings and manage deferred tax liabilities to achieve desired managerial objectives, such as optimizing tax payments or adjusting earnings levels. However, deferred tax assets do not show a significant impact on earnings management, which may be due to other factors not observed in this study, such as internal company policies or different approaches to managing tax assets. Simultaneously, the findings confirm that all three variables have an impact on earnings management, contributing 10.3%. The remaining 89.7% of the impact comes from other factors not covered in the scope of this research, such as macroeconomic factors, government policies, or even the varying accounting practices of different companies. These findings provide valuable insights into how tax management influences earnings management and open opportunities for further research to better understand other variables that may affect corporate earnings management practices.

This study was conducted to explore in depth how ethical pressure, ethical orientation, and religiosity influence earnings management practices, while also examining whether religiosity plays a role as a moderating variable in this relationship. Using a quantitative, survey-based approach, this study involved 109 respondents with professional backgrounds and experience in accounting and finance, thus deemed relevant in understanding the phenomenon of earnings management from a practitioner's perspective. The data analysis technique used was Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), which is considered appropriate for examining relationships between latent variables with high complexity. The results show that ethical pressure has a positive and significant influence on earnings management practices, meaning that the greater the ethical pressure a person feels, the higher the tendency to engage in such practices. Conversely, ethical orientation shows a negative and significant influence, so that individuals with a strong ethical orientation tend to reject this manipulative practice. Religiosity is also shown to have a significant negative influence, so that the higher a person's level of religiosity, the lower their tendency to engage in earnings management. Furthermore, moderation analysis found that religiosity strengthens the influence of ethical orientation in suppressing earnings management practices, meaning that individuals who are both religious and have a high ethical orientation are more consistent in maintaining their integrity. However, the role of religiosity was not proven to be significant in moderating the relationship between ethical pressure and earnings management practices, indicating that although religiosity can shape ethical attitudes, it is not sufficient to mitigate the impact of strong external pressures. These findings imply the importance of strengthening ethical values ​​and religiosity in accounting education and practice to prevent opportunistic behavior that is detrimental to related parties.

This study aims to examine the impact of CEO turnover on earnings management in non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the period of 2018–2023, with independent commissioners as a moderating variable. Multiple linear regression is used as the model, and the results show that CEO turnover has a significant negative impact on earnings management, where the new CEO tends to engage in earnings management through Big Bath Accounting to improve future performance. Furthermore, independent commissioners have been proven to significantly moderate the relationship between CEO turnover and earnings management, with a higher proportion of independent commissioners in the board of commissioners weakening the negative effect of CEO turnover on earnings management. Control variables such as leverage, profitability, and company size also have a significant impact on earnings management practices. This study contributes to the development of corporate governance in Indonesia, particularly regarding the role of independent commissioners in controlling earnings management practices. The findings are expected to provide insights for investors and regulators in assessing the risks of financial report manipulation and improving transparency and accountability in companies listed on the stock exchange.
