A Study on the IDX ESG Leaders Index https://ejurnal.umri.ac.id/index.php/jae/article/view/10512 <p><em>The growing adoption of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in Indonesia is supported by regulatory pressure and rising awareness, yet evidence of their impact remains mixed. This study examines the effect of ESG disclosure on financial performance and firm value, and evaluates the moderating role of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in non-financial firms listed in the IDX ESG Leaders index (2021–2024). Using ten purposively sampled firms (forty firm-year observations), ESG was measured with forty five item GRI index and GCG with seven governance indicators. Panel regression and Moderated Regression Analysis show ESG disclosure has insignificant effects on both financial performance and firm value, while GCG does not moderate these relationships. Findings highlight the early stage of ESG integration in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for improved disclosure quality and stronger governance mechanisms.</em></p> Dewi Rahma Nurliana Harahap Taufik Akbar Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Akuntansi dan Ekonomika http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-12-20 2025-12-20 15 2 260 270 10.37859/jae.v15i2.10512 Analisis Pengaruh Rasio CAR, LDR, NPL dan BOPO terhadap Kinerja Keuangan (ROA) Bank HIMBARA Tahun 2017–2024 https://ejurnal.umri.ac.id/index.php/jae/article/view/10449 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>This study aims to analyze whether the CAR, LDR, NPL, and BOPO ratios affect ROA.

The study targets manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2016–2019 period and 52 firms were selected, producing 208 firm-year observations. This study shows that companies experiencing financial pressure tend to adopt more aggressive tax practices. In contrast, accounting irregularities are not found to have a statistically significant effect on the level of tax aggressiveness. Another finding indicates that the presence of independent commissioners can dampen the influence of financial distress on tax aggressiveness. However, independent commissioners do not act as a moderating variable in the relationship between accounting irregularities and tax aggressiveness.</em></p> Yogeswari Sista Shintyamani Heru Tjaraka Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Akuntansi dan Ekonomika http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-12-20 2025-12-20 15 2 315 323 10.37859/jae.v15i2.10013 Analisis Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Regional Melalui Industri Kreatif: Studi Kasus Provinsi Sumatera Barat dengan Pendekatan Time Series https://ejurnal.umri.ac.id/index.php/jae/article/view/9733 <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>The main focus is to assess the contribution of various creative industry sub-sectors to the Gross Domestic Product of West Sumatera from 2014 to 2023.

The topic is relevant because the energy sector is highly exposed to tax avoidance risks and closely linked to political actors. Secondary data were obtained from annual and financial reports and analyzed using panel data regression with the Common Effect Model (CEM). The findings reveal that financial constraints and financial distress have a negative effect on tax avoidance. Moreover, political connections strengthen the relationship between financial constraints and tax avoidance but weaken the influence of financial distress on tax avoidance. These results highlight the crucial role of political ties in shaping corporate tax strategies under financial pressure. The study provides meaningful insights for regulators and stakeholders in designing more effective and transparent tax policies.</em></p> Zidan Dwinanda Arifin Raja Ade Fitrasari Mochtar Copyright (c) 2026 Jurnal Akuntansi dan Ekonomika http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-01-04 2026-01-04 15 2 346 356 10.37859/jae.v15i2.10554 Analisis Kinerja Penyerapan Anggaran di Pemerintah Daerah: Studi Pemerintah Provinsi Sumatera Selatan https://ejurnal.umri.ac.id/index.php/jae/article/view/9931 <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>This study examines the influence of human resource quality, regional financial regulations, and understanding of financial management systems and procedures on budget absorption in the Provincial Government of South Sumatra.

SEM-PLS analysis on 132 SME actors reveals accounting information usage positively influences success by enabling better decision-making and operational efficiency through valuable, scarce resources per RBV theory, while creativity drives success via product innovation and competitive uniqueness; however, education level lacks impact as practical skills outweigh formal education in this context. Financial literacy strengthens the creativity-success link by helping implement innovative ideas strategically, but fails to moderate accounting usage due to its direct interpretability and education due to unrelated optimization needs. These findings stress prioritizing creativity, financial literacy, and accounting practices for SME sustainability.</em></p> Ananda Chika Bintani Nasrizal M.

The results show that the coastal areas of Surabaya have diverse blue economy potential, including capture fisheries, aquaculture, marine product processing, and marine tourism. Quantitative analysis proves that blue economy optimization has a significant effect on poverty reduction (R² = 0.476) and sustainable development (R² = 0.322). However, its implementation is constrained by fluctuations in fishermen's income, low financial literacy, and the incompatibility of assistance programs.

Isu ini relevan karena sektor energi merupakan industri strategis yang memiliki tingkat eksposur pengawasan tinggi, namun tetap rentan terhadap praktik penghindaran pajak. Penelitian ini menggunakan 88 sampel pada Perusahaan Sektor Energi yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) pada perusahaan energi yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa GCG dan CSR terbukti signifikan menekan praktik tax avoidance. Namun, direksi wanita tidak menunjukkan kemampuan memoderasi hubungan tersebut. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa kekuatan tata kelola dan integrasi CSR jauh lebih menentukan perilaku perpajakan korporasi dibandingkan keberadaan&nbsp; struktur direksi &nbsp;perempuan yang jumlahnya belum mencapai nilai minimum.

Public sector audit quality is crucial, yet internal auditors often experience role pressures that can weaken performance. Survey data from internal auditors in government institutions were analyzed using PLS-SEM with WarpPLS. Findings show that both role ambiguity and role conflict negatively affect audit quality. Knowledge seeking partially mediates the impact of role conflict, indicating that actively searching for information, guidance, and expertise can lessen the negative consequences of conflicting demands. In contrast, knowledge seeking does not mediate the relationship between role ambiguity and audit quality, suggesting unclear expectations and responsibilities remain a major obstacle even when auditors attempt to learn. This study contributes to public sector auditing theory and offers practical insights for competency development and capacity-building programs to improve government internal auditor performance and audit quality.</p> Agustiawan Agustiawan Norra Isnasia Rahayu Riky Perdana Mohd Nor Hakimin bin Yusoff Tahirah binti Abdullah Copyright (c) 2026 Jurnal Akuntansi dan Ekonomika http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-02-09 2026-02-09 15 2 463 473 10.37859/jae.v15i2.10035 Konservatisme Akuntansi, Struktur Modal, dan Nilai Perusahaan: Kebijakan Dividen sebagai Variabel Moderasi https://ejurnal.umri.ac.id/index.php/jae/article/view/11104 <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>This study aims to examine whether dividend policy moderates accounting conservatism and capital structure on firm value.
