This study aims to strengthen industrialization in the livestock sector to increase productivity and investment at the district and city levels. The use of modern technologies, such as digital livestock management systems, sensor-based animal health monitoring, and automated feeding systems, has increased in recent years in response to the need for efficiency and improved production outcomes. Data were collected from various livestock units, ranging from small-scale to large-scale farms, through surveys and observations over a two-year period. The analysis results show a significant positive relationship between the level of investment in livestock technology and productivity improvements, both in terms of livestock population growth and production outputs (meat, milk, eggs). Higher investment in technology tends to result in better operational efficiency, lower animal mortality rates, and improved product quality. These findings indicate that accelerating the adoption of technology in the livestock industry can be an effective strategy to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of the national livestock sector.

This study aims to evaluate the sharia financial service strategy of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Banjarnegara Branch through the VRIO and PEST approaches, in order to identify internal advantages and external dynamics that affect the competitiveness of the institution. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, this study reveals that BSI Banjarnegara has a sustainable competitive advantage through sharia-based products that are difficult to imitate, a wide community network, and a personal service approach. In addition, the results of the PEST analysis show that political support, stable economic conditions, and the level of community religiosity are great opportunities for the growth of sharia finance in the region, although the level of digital technology adoption is still a challenge. The strategy of strengthening digitalization, education of sharia financial literacy, and product innovation such as Cicil Emas are the main keys in responding to market challenges and increasing financial inclusion. Thus, the results of this study provide a strategic direction for the development of sustainable and adaptive sharia services to changes in the business environment.
 
 

This research aims to analyze the effect of free cash flow on financial distress through return on assets and debt to assets ratio in the pharmaceutical subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the period of 2020-2023. The analytical methods employed include descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression analysis, and path analysis. The tool used for analysis is SPSS Version 25. The population consists of 13 companies, and through purposive sampling, a sample of 10 companies was obtained, resulting in a total of 40 firm observations over the 4-year period. The findings indicate that free cash flow has a negative effect on financial distress. Additionally, free cash flow positively influences both return on assets and debt to assets ratio. Return on assets has been proven to mediate the effect of free cash flow on financial distress, while debt to assets ratio does not demonstrate significant mediating capability. The originality of this research builds upon previous studies by introducing return on assets as a moderating variable and also incorporates debt to assets ratio as a moderating variable in the analysis.

This study examines the influence of international tax practices (measured by transfer pricing) and tax risk management (measured by effective tax rate) on corporate earnings quality (measured by earnings persistence). It also investigates the moderating role of tax risk management in the relationship between international tax practices and earnings quality. Utilizing panel data and multiple linear regression analysis on 650 firm-year observations from manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, Bursa Malaysia, Philippine Stock Exchange, and Singapore Exchange, this study finds that tax risk management has a positive effect on earnings quality. However, the results do not provide sufficient evidence to support the hypothesized association between international tax practices and earnings quality, nor do they confirm a moderating effect of tax risk management in this relationship. These findings suggest that while tax risk management is an important factor considered by firms in maintaining consistent and persistent earnings, its role may not be sufficient to alter the influence of international tax strategies on earnings quality.

Ibn Khaldun's thoughts, especially those presented in his work Muqaddimah, have made important contributions to understanding the dynamics of society, economy, and politics. This article comprehensively examines Ibn Khaldun's development theory with a historical approach, conceptual analysis, and reflection on the relevance of his thoughts in the modern era. Using literature study and content analysis methods, this study explores central concepts such as asabiyyah, dynasty cycle, economic productivity, and the role of the state in development. The findings show that although issued in the 14th century, Ibn Khaldun's development theory has essential similarities with contemporary development paradigms such as the importance of social capital, fiscal balance, and leadership regeneration. The theoretical implications of this study are expected to enrich the discourse on development based on ethical values ??and social justice.

This study uses a quantitative method. Data were collected using a questionnaire technique, the respondents of this study were 52 auditors. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that auditor independence has a significant positive effect on auditor performance, professional ethics has a significant positive effect on auditor performance, and organizational commitment has a significant positive effect on auditor performance.

This study aims to analyze the impact of the transition from manual to electronic (e-Filing) annual tax return (SPT) reporting on the efficiency of tax administration in Indonesia. Indonesia adopts a self-assessment system, granting taxpayers full trust to report and calculate their own tax obligations. However, manual SPT reporting often leads to challenges such as slow processes, human error risks, and high administrative burdens. To address these issues, the government has implemented an electronic filing system (e-Filing) as part of its tax service modernization efforts. This research employs a qualitative library research method by reviewing literature, regulations, and previous relevant studies. The findings indicate that e-Filing significantly enhances administrative efficiency, accelerates processes, reduces operational costs, and improves data accuracy and security. The implications of this research highlight the importance of optimizing socialization, training, and further development of the e-Filing system to encourage more taxpayers to shift to electronic reporting, thereby fostering a more modern, transparent, and accountable tax administration.

This research analyses effective industrialisation strategies in districts and cities, by assessing success factors and the role of firms. Regional industrialisation supports economic growth and job creation. Key factors influencing success include the quality of human resources, infrastructure, government policies and technology. Cluster approaches based on local potential and industrial estate development have proven effective. Companies play an important role in creating industrial ecosystems and running CSR programmes. Collaboration between the government, companies and communities is key to successful regional industrialisation.
