Harga emas dunia merupakan faktor eksternal yang berpotensi memengaruhi kinerja keuangan perusahaan pertambangan emas, namun hubungan keduanya tidak selalu bersifat linear mengingat kompleksitas struktur bisnis dan biaya perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara komparatif tren harga emas dunia dengan profitabilitas PT Aneka Tambang Tbk periode 2021–2025 menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan komparatif tren. Data bersumber dari laporan keuangan konsolidasian audited PT Aneka Tambang Tbk tahun 2021–2025 serta data harga emas rata-rata tahunan yang diterbitkan oleh World Gold Council, dengan indikator profitabilitas Return on Assets (ROA) dan Net Profit Margin (NPM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harga emas mengalami kenaikan akseleratif dari USD 1.793,38 menjadi USD 3.518,43 per troy ounce dengan pertumbuhan kumulatif 96,2%, sementara profitabilitas perusahaan bergerak fluktuatif dengan puncak tertinggi pada 2025. Analisis komparatif terhadap empat fase pergerakan menunjukkan hubungan yang tidak konsisten dan non-linear, di mana dua fase bergerak searah, satu fase berlawanan, dan satu fase bersifat parsial, yang disebabkan oleh fluktuasi volume penjualan, ekspansi aset yang belum produktif, dan lonjakan beban pokok pembelian logam mulia dari pihak ketiga. Penelitian ini mengimplikasikan bahwa analisis profitabilitas perusahaan pertambangan perlu mempertimbangkan struktur biaya, strategi pengadaan, dan keputusan investasi secara simultan, tidak cukup bertumpu pada pergerakan harga komoditas semata.

Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi partisipatif, dokumentasi, dan pencatatan lapangan reflektif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan arsip dokumen klaim belum sepenuhnya memenuhi prinsip good governance, khususnya pada aspek transparansi dan akuntabilitas yang tercermin dari sistem penemuan kembali arsip yang masih dilakukan secara manual serta rendahnya pemanfaatan Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) dalam praktik kerja sehari-hari. Optimalisasi EDMS disertai penguatan SOP dan peningkatan kapasitas pegawai menjadi solusi strategis yang direkomendasikan.

This study aims to analyze the effect of capital structure, asset growth, and firm size on firm value in plastic and packaging sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. Firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV), capital structure is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), asset growth is measured by the asset growth ratio, and firm size is measured using the natural logarithm of total assets. This research employed an explanatory quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from financial statements, annual reports, and stock price data. The sample consisted of 11 companies observed over five years, resulting in 55 panel data observations. Data were analyzed using panel data regression through the Common Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and Random Effect Model, with model selection based on the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests. The results indicate that capital structure, asset growth, and firm size have no significant effect on firm value, either partially or simultaneously. These findings suggest that firm value in the plastic and packaging sub-sector is not sufficiently explained by financing structure, asset expansion, or company size. Investors are more likely to consider other factors, such as profitability, operational efficiency, cash flow, sales growth, raw material risk, and sustainability prospects. Therefore, companies should improve financial performance, asset efficiency, cost control, and sustainable innovation to enhance firm value.

Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penentuan harga pokok produksi (HPP) dan harga jual kompetitif kue tar menggunakan metode Full Costing pada Toko Kue Hum’aisyah Cake di Kabupaten Dompu, Nusa Tenggara Barat. Data primer diperoleh melalui observasi dan wawancara langsung, sedangkan data sekunder bersumber dari laporan keuangan usaha. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode Full Costing menghasilkan perhitungan HPP yang lebih akurat dibandingkan metode sederhana yang diterapkan perusahaan selama ini. Total biaya produksi dengan metode sederhana tercatat sebesar Rp55.100.250 (Rp185.000/unit), sedangkan metode Full Costing menghasilkan Rp57.395.250 (Rp195.000/unit). Terdapat selisih sebesar Rp2.295.000 secara total atau Rp10.000 per unit. Selisih ini terjadi karena metode sederhana milik perusahaan belum memperhitungkan seluruh unsur biaya produksi, khususnya biaya overhead pabrik secara rinci.

This study examines the effects of Net Profit Margin, audit opinion, and firm size on audit delay among construction companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2025. Audit delay is measured as the period between the fiscal year-end and the issuance date of the independent auditor’s report. Timely financial reporting is particularly important in the construction sector due to its complex long-term projects, progress-based revenue recognition, cost estimation, and high financial risks. Using a quantitative approach, the study analyzes secondary data from annual financial statements and independent auditor reports. The sample includes 14 construction companies observed over seven years, producing 98 observations. Panel data regression was conducted using EViews, with the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests identifying the Random Effect Model as the most appropriate estimation method. The findings show that Net Profit Margin does not significantly affect audit delay. In contrast, audit opinion and firm size have negative and significant effects, indicating that favorable audit opinions and larger company size are associated with shorter audit completion periods. Collectively, the three variables significantly influence audit delay, although they explain only 15.75% of its variation.

The development of the digital economy has led to increasing complexity in tax management for technology-based companies. Various digital business activities, such as cross-border transactions, the utilization of intangible assets, and evolving tax regulations, require companies to adopt appropriate tax strategies. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of tax consultants in supporting business decision-making within technology-based firms. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method, examining various scientific journals, books, tax regulations, and relevant professional publications. The findings indicate that tax consultants no longer function solely as compliance supporters but have evolved into strategic partners for companies in tax planning, the utilization of fiscal incentives, tax risk mitigation, digital transaction management, and investment and business expansion decision-making. This role contributes to improved financial efficiency and reduced tax-related legal risks. This study emphasizes that the involvement of tax consultants from the business planning stage can enhance the quality of managerial decision-making in technology-based companies.

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.

Ketidaksesuaian kualitas pada proses assembly sepatu kulit kerap memicu siklus rework berulang yang menguras sumber daya waktu maupun biaya produksi secara signifikan. Penelitian ini mengkaji mekanisme pengendalian cacat yang diterapkan pada Product D-01 di Lini C PT XYZ, dengan menggunakan DMAIC sebagai kerangka perbaikan utama serta Pareto, P-Chart, Fishbone Diagram, 5 Whys, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), dan Cost of Quality (COQ) sebagai alat pendukung. Data primer bersumber dari catatan produksi internal perusahaan, pengamatan lapangan, dan wawancara terstruktur bersama pengawas produksi dan staf quality control. Pengukuran baseline menunjukkan bahwa Lini C menyumbang volume cacat paling tinggi di antara seluruh lini yang ada, dengan Product D-01 mencatat 10.487 pair cacat dari total output 80.387 pair, sehingga menghasilkan defect rate sebesar 13,05%. Distribusi Pareto mengidentifikasi wrinkle, incorrect colour, dan not straight sebagai tiga kategori cacat paling kritis. Penilaian FMEA menetapkan Risk Priority Number tertinggi sebesar 245 pada perilaku operator yang terburu-buru selama proses lasting dan brushing. Tindakan korektif mencakup pemasangan SOP visual, implementasi checklist QC pra-shift, verifikasi kondisi mesin secara rutin, dan penyediaan sampel referensi warna serta bentuk yang terstandar. Pemantauan selama dua periode berikutnya mengkonfirmasi penurunan defect rate secara bertahap menjadi 12,80% dan kemudian 11,65%, disertai penurunan estimasi biaya kegagalan internal dari Rp 2,36 juta menjadi Rp 1,86 juta per periode.

Abstract. PT XYZ, a wooden furniture manufacturing company, served as the research site for this study which applied the Theory of Constraints (TOC) method to analyze production performance and identify bottlenecks. The company faces capacity imbalances between workstations, resulting in production targets that have not been achieved optimally. Data collection involved direct observation and interviews with related parties in the production area. The analysis was conducted by comparing the required capacity with the available capacity at each production workstation. The findings reveal that solid processing, machining, sanding, assembling, painting, and packing have sufficient available capacities to meet production requirements, thus categorized as non-bottleneck processes. In contrast, the panel processing station is identified as the main bottleneck due to its highest workload among all processes. By implementing the Theory of Constraints, the company can identify major constraints and establish improvement priorities to enhance production flow smoothness. It is expected that improvements in bottleneck processes will increase production efficiency, balance capacity among workstations, and support more optimal achievement of production targets. Keywords: bottleneck; capacity; manufacturing; production performance; theory of constraints   Abstrak.

Kecurangan (fraud) di sektor perbankan daerah merupakan ancaman serius yang dapat merugikan keuangan negara dan menurunkan kepercayaan publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kasus korupsi pengadaan iklan pada Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (Bank BJB) menggunakan pendekatan Fraud Triangle Theory yang mencakup tiga elemen utama: tekanan (pressure), kesempatan (opportunity), dan rasionalisasi (rationalization). Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi kasus, didukung oleh studi literatur dari berbagai sumber ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kasus Bank BJB mencerminkan interaksi ketiga elemen Fraud Triangle secara simultan. Tekanan bersumber dari kebutuhan dana non-budgeter yang besar dalam pengelolaan anggaran promosi senilai Rp409 miliar. Kesempatan muncul akibat lemahnya sistem pengendalian internal, tidak adanya verifikasi dokumen yang memadai, serta penyimpangan dalam proses pengadaan. Rasionalisasi terbentuk melalui persepsi pelaku bahwa praktik tersebut merupakan hal yang lazim dalam lingkungan birokrasi dan korporasi. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan pemahaman teoritis dan praktis terkait pencegahan fraud di lembaga keuangan daerah Indonesia, khususnya melalui penguatan tata kelola perusahaan dan sistem pengawasan internal.

The development of sustainability concepts in the banking sector has encouraged companies to implement Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and develop Green Investment initiatives as part of their long-term business strategies. This study aims to examine the effect of ESG implementation and Green Investment on the firm value of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2022–2025 period. The research employed a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis. Model selection was conducted through the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests, which indicated that the Random Effect Model (REM) was the most appropriate model for the analysis. The results reveal that ESG has a positive and significant effect on firm value, indicating that better implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance practices enhances a company's value in the perception of investors and the market. Conversely, Green Investment has a negative and significant effect on firm value. This finding suggests that Green Investment is still perceived as a costly activity and has not yet generated direct economic benefits in the short term. Simultaneously, ESG and Green Investment significantly influence firm value, with the model explaining 35.1% of the variation in firm value. The findings imply that banking companies should continuously improve the quality of ESG implementation and optimize the management of Green Investments to create greater firm value and support long-term business sustainability.

This study examines how profitability affects company value among manufacturing firms included in the LQ45 index during the 2023–2025 period, with debt policy serving as a moderating variable. Increasing business competition encourages companies to improve their financial performance and market value to attract investors and maintain long-term sustainability. A quantitative research approach with a causal research design was employed to analyze the relationship between the variables. The study used secondary data obtained from audited annual financial statements published on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Data analysis was conducted using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results indicate that profitability has a significant positive effect on firm value, suggesting that higher profitability enhances investor confidence and contributes to higher market valuations. Furthermore, debt policy significantly moderates the relationship between profitability and firm value by strengthening the influence of profitability. The coefficient of determination increased from below thirteen percent to more than sixty-three percent after including the moderating variable. These findings demonstrate that effective debt management combined with strong profitability contributes to higher firm value and supports sustainable corporate growth and long-term investor confidence.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of financial constraints on workforce management practices in agricultural companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2022 and 2025. Earnings management was measured using the DeAngelo Discretionary Accrual model, while financial distress was measured using the Altman Z-Score. A purposive sample yielded 32 observations, and the data were analyzed quantitatively using simple linear regression in SPSS. The analysis results showed that Financial Distress had no significant effect on Earnings Management, with a significance value of 0.718 (>0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.004 indicates that only 0.4% of the variation in earnings management practices can be explained by financial distress, while the remaining 99.6% is influenced by factors outside this model. This finding suggests that the adoption of earnings management strategies in pharmaceutical companies is not primarily driven by financial distress. Therefore, it is recommended that future research include additional variables that could potentially influence earnings management.

This study aims to analyze the bankruptcy process of PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk (Sritex) according to Law Number 37 of 2004. In addition, the legal impact on its subsidiary, PT Primayudha Mandirijaya in Boyolali, including legal protection for affected employees, will also  yang be reviewed. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Data were obtained through a literature review of relevant regulations and legal literature. The results of the study indicate that although PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk has been declared bankrupt by the commercial court, legally, the assets of PT Primayudha Mandirijaya as a subsidiary do not immediately become part of the bankruptcy estate of its parent company. This is based on the principle that the legal entity is independent (separate legal entity) and its responsimerupakan bilities are limited (limited liability), which separates the assets in question from the parent company and the subsidiary, unless there is evidence indicating a guarantee from the company (corporate guarantee). Furthermore, the legal study on labor protection emphasizes that the rights of PT Primayudha Mandirijaya employees need to be legally protected in accordance with national labor regulations and bankruptcy law to mitigate the social and economic impacts in the Boyolali region. The study concludes that the legal existence of the subsidiary remains independent despite the bankruptcy of its parent company. However, it is crucial to prioritize contractual risk reduction and worker rights security during the curator's handling.
