Edi Triwibowo, Dian Sulistyorini Wulandari, Titi Nandarwati
Abstract: This study investigates the factors influencing Individual Taxpayer Compliance in Indonesia, focusing on Tax Service Quality, Social Engagement and Education, and the moderating role of Information Technology. The findings… gs reveal that Tax Service Quality does not significantly impact taxpayer compliance, suggesting that improvements in service quality alone may not suffice to enhance compliance levels. In contrast, Social Engagement and Education are significant factors that positively influence taxpayer compliance, indicating the effectiveness of educational initiatives and community involvement in fostering compliance behavior. Furthermore, information technology has been found to have no significant moderating effect on the relationship between tax service quality or social engagement, education, or taxpayer compliance. These results underscore the importance of prioritizing social engagement and educational strategies while recognizing that technology should be integrated as a complementary tool to improve compliance outcomes. A balanced approach combining these elements is essential for fostering a more compliant taxpayer environment in Indonesia.

Strengthening MSME Financial Reports: The Influence of Accounting Knowledge and Education, Moderated by SAK EMKM Socialization

Erlina Widayanti Djatnicka, Dian Sulistyorini Wulandari, Mainatul Khasanah
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of Accounting Knowledge and Education on the quality of MSME financial reports, focusing on the moderating role of SAK EMKM Socialization (Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards for… or Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises). Using survey data collected from MSME operators, the research reveals that accounting knowledge has a strong positive relationship with financial reporting quality. Education also plays a positive but weaker role, suggesting significant potential for improvement. The study finds that the socialization of SAK EMKM significantly improves the quality of MSME financial reports but does not moderate the relationship between either accounting knowledge or education and financial report quality. These findings suggest that education and accounting knowledge are fundamental in improving MSME financial reporting practices, while SAK EMKM socialization is more effective for MSMEs with limited financial literacy. This research highlights the need for tailored training programs and socialization efforts to address the specific needs of MSMEs, ensuring that all operators, regardless of educational background, can produce high-quality financial reports in line with established standards.

The Impact of Tax Audit Intensity and Probability of Fraud Detection on Tax Evasion: The Moderating Role of Tax Officials' Service

Ahmad Bukhori Muslim, Dian Sulistyorini wulandari, Ita Sari
Abstract: This study investigates the relationships between tax audit intensity, the probability of fraud detection, and tax evasion while examining the moderating role of tax officials' service. The research reveals that tax audit… t intensity significantly reduces tax evasion, confirming its effectiveness as a deterrent. However, the hypothesis regarding the probability of fraud detection's impact on tax evasion was rejected, indicating that the likelihood of detection does not directly influence taxpayer behavior in this context. Additionally, the study found no significant moderating effect of tax officials' service on the relationship between tax audit intensity, fraud detection probability, and tax evasion. These findings suggest that while audit intensity is crucial for enhancing compliance, the quality of service provided by tax officials does not substantially alter taxpayer responses to enforcement measures. The results underscore the need for tax authorities to prioritize strengthening audit processes and detection mechanisms while recognizing that service quality, though important for building long-term trust, may not significantly influence immediate compliance behavior. Future research should explore other moderating factors that could impact taxpayer decisions in varying economic and cultural contexts.

Unpacking the Impact of Asset Structure and Sales Growth on Capital Structure: The Moderating Influence of Profitability

Jamian Purba, Dian Sulistyorini Wulandari, Sri Lestari
Abstract: This study explores the impact of asset structure and sales growth on capital structure, emphasizing the moderating influence of profitability. As firms navigate the complexities of financing decisions, understanding how… these variables interact is crucial for optimizing capital structure. The findings reveal that asset structure and sales growth significantly affect capital structure, with profitability playing a critical role in moderating these relationships. Firms with substantial tangible assets are better positioned to leverage debt financing, while those demonstrating strong sales growth are viewed favorably by investors and creditors. However, the extent to which sales growth influences capital structure is contingent upon profitability; high profitability enables firms to capitalize on growth opportunities, whereas low profitability may inhibit their capacity to leverage growth potential. Empirical research supports these conclusions, indicating that asset structure, sales growth, and profitability significantly shape capital structure decisions across various industries. Ultimately, this study provides valuable insights for financial managers, highlighting the importance of balancing growth aspirations with profitability to achieve effective capital structure management. This, in turn, can lead to sustained competitive advantage, a state where a firm outperforms its competitors over a prolonged period in a dynamic economic environment.

Boardroom Strategies: How Governance Structures and Firm Size Influence Accounting Conservatism

Vista Yulianti, Dian Sulistyorini Wulandari, Satinah Satinah
Abstract: This study explores the intricate relationship between corporate governance mechanisms—specifically Board Directors, Independent Commissioners, and the Audit Committee—and Accounting Conservatism, focusing on the moderating… erating effects of Firm Size. The findings reveal that Board Directors have a statistically significant impact on Accounting Conservatism, primarily through their ability to provide oversight and challenge aggressive financial practices. However, the influence of Board Directors is moderated by Firm Size, as larger organizations often exhibit complexities that dilute their effectiveness. Similarly, the study underscores the pivotal role of Independent Commissioners in promoting conservative accounting practices. However, their impact is not amplified by Firm Size. The pressures faced by larger firms can lead to more aggressive financial reporting, thereby limiting the effectiveness of Independent Commissioners. Additionally, the Audit Committee is identified as a crucial governance mechanism in fostering Accounting Conservatism, but its effectiveness is also diminished in larger firms due to complex organizational structures. Overall, the research underscores the critical need for governance frameworks to be adaptive and tailored to the unique challenges posed by Firm Size. By recognizing and addressing these complexities, organizations can enhance the integrity and transparency of their financial reporting, thereby fostering trust among stakeholders and contributing to corporate accountability.

Does Company Size and  Profitability Matter? Investigating the Moderating Effects of Growth in Cash Flow on Stock Performance

Agus Fuadi, Dian Sulistyorini Wulandari, Fedia Chairunnisa
Abstract: This research examines the intricate relationships between company size, growth in cash flow, and stock performance, revealing complexities that challenge traditional financial analysis. While company size is often associated… iated with stable stock performance due to advantages such as economies of scale and market power, the findings indicate that size alone does not positively impact stock performance. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that growth in cash flow does not significantly moderate the relationship between company size and stock performance. This suggests that external factors, such as regulatory changes or market sentiment, may play a more decisive role. The results underscore that cash flow, while an important indicator of financial health, does not enhance the influence of company size on stock performance, particularly in certain industries where external conditions prevail. This underscores the need for a more comprehensive evaluation approach that considers a broader range of factors when assessing stock performance. It's time to move beyond traditional metrics like profitability and cash flow growth and equip ourselves with a more robust set of tools for analysis. Ultimately, this research advocates for a multifactorial approach to stock performance evaluation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the interplay between various variables, including industry trends and macroeconomic conditions. By adopting this comprehensive perspective, investors and analysts can make more informed decisions and strategies, enhancing their ability to navigate the complexities of the financial markets.

The Influence of Earnings Management on the Value Relevance of Accounting Information

Rahmah, Rahmah, Rezki Akbar Norrahman
Abstract: This research aims to investigate the influence of earnings management practices on the value relevance of accounting information in the Indonesian business environment. The research method used is qualitative with a library… rary study approach and document content analysis. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with related parties such as auditors and financial managers, as well as analysis of the contents of documents in the form of financial reports and company meeting notes. The research results show that earnings management practices can reduce the value relevance of accounting information by affecting the quality of information conveyed in financial reports. Practices such as increasing revenue estimates or delaying expense recognition can cloud the picture of a company's true performance, which in turn affects economic decision making. These findings emphasize the importance of transparency and integrity in accounting practices to maintain the value relevance of accounting information for stakeholders. The implication of this research for accounting theory is the need to pay attention to earnings management practices within a broader theoretical framework regarding the integrity of accounting information. From a practical perspective, companies need to increase awareness of the importance of honest accounting practices and comply with applicable standards to minimize unethical earnings management practices. This implication is also relevant for regulators in strengthening regulations related to financial reporting in order to maintain the integrity of the capital market in Indonesia.

Rezki Akbar Norrahman
Abstract: This research investigates the impact of fiscal policy on economic growth in Indonesia. The study was carried out by analyzing the implementation of public expenditure policies, tax reforms and subsidies implemented by the… he government in several time periods. Macroeconomic data such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation rate, investment and household consumption are used to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy in responding to domestic and global economic conditions. The findings show that fiscal policy has a significant impact on economic growth, particularly through increasing infrastructure investment and tax incentives for the private sector. However, challenges such as transparent public budget management and long-term policy consistency need to be addressed to maximize the contribution of fiscal policy to inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Policy recommendations include expanding infrastructure investment, further tax reform to increase efficiency, as well as improvements in public budget management. The implication of this research for national economic policy is the importance of maintaining policy consistency and improving inter-institutional coordination to achieve the goal of sustainable economic development in Indonesia.
