Investor Perceptions of the Quality of Sharia Financial Reporting and Its Impact on Investment Decisions Study on Companies Listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII)

2025-06-30T12:43:44+00:00

This study aims to analyze investor perceptions of the quality of Islamic financial reporting and its impact on investment decisions in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). The background of this research is based on the growth of Indonesia's Islamic capital market capitalization, but has not been followed by a significant increase in retail investor participation. This research uses the Descriptive Method with a qualitative approach to collect and analyze literature related to the research topic. The research shows that the quality of Islamic financial reporting significantly influences investors' perceptions. The more positive investors' perceptions of the quality of Islamic financial reporting, the more likely they are to invest in stocks in the Jakarta Islamic Index. However, regulators and issuers need to improve disclosure standards and socialization. This study has real-world consequences, such as the suggestion that OJK and the National Sharia Council (DSN) create more detailed reporting guidelines and that investors should be educated about Islamic financial standards.

The results of the study show that this business is feasible to run and develop. The R/C value > 1 indicates that the business is in an efficient condition, and the profitability ratio provides positive results every year, which reflects the business's ability to generate profits consistently. Nonetheless, this business still has weaknesses in terms of financial management and a lack of product innovation. Therefore, systematic financial recording and the development of managerial and marketing strategies are needed to increase the competitiveness and sustainability of the business in the future.

These opportunities include regulatory and public policy support, increasing demand from global institutional investors, synergy with the SDGs agenda and the Indonesian Islamic Economic Masterplan, the adoption of digital technology and Islamic fintech, and increasing sustainable financial literacy. This study concludes that SRI Sukuk has the potential to be a key driver of the transformation of the Islamic financial system towards green finance that is inclusive, transparent, and oriented towards the welfare of the people

The Moderating Role of Religiosity and Ethics Education on The Relationship Between Fraud Diamond Dimensions and Machiavellian Traits in Academic Fraud

2025-10-28T15:44:54+00:00

This study investigates the influence of the fraud diamond elements and Machiavellian traits on academic fraud, with religiosity and ethics education serving as moderating variables. Primary data were collected through questionnaires from 192 undergraduate students at the Institut Bisnis & Teknologi Kalimantan and Universitas Lambung Mangkurat. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that rationalization, capability, and Machiavellianism have significant effects on academic fraud, while pressure and opportunity do not. However, the patterns vary across institutions, highlighting that the influence of preceding factors is contextual. Furthermore, both religiosity and ethics education fail to serve as consistent and effective preventive measures, suggesting that these values have not been fully internalized by students. This study contributes by revealing the nuanced and contextual nature of factors leading to fraud and the limitations of conventional value-teaching methods in higher education.

2025-10-25T05:23:32+00:00

This study aims to comprehensively describe the application of the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) based on the local cultural values of Catur Purusa Artha in the management of Village Credit Institutions (VCI) in Kerobokan Traditional Village, Bali. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a single case study, involving the main informants such as the Customary Village, the Head of VCI, and the Internal Supervisory Agency as primary data sources. Data was collected through structured in-depth interviews based on indicators of transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness according to GCG standards, contextualized with Balinese Hindu teachings through the concept of Catur Purusa Artha (dharma, artha, kama and moksa). The data analysis follows the Miles & Huberman interactive model with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion verification. The results of the study revealed that most of the GCG principles have been effectively implemented in VCI Kerobokan with the integration of local cultural values as the foundation of operational ethics. Transparency is realized through information disclosure in customary village meetings; accountability is carried out by internal supervisory bodies; Independence is enforced through a collective consensus mechanism; fairness is reflected in the credit policy of small business priorities; and social responsibility based on dharma and moksa as moral guidelines for institutional managers. However, there are significant obstacles in the remuneration system that are not fully fair and transparent according to individual contributions and limitations in the socialization of work plans to all indigenous capital owners due to limited human resources and communication media.

Assessing Financial Performance Through Ratio Analysis: A Study on PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk

2025-11-15T02:42:01+00:00

The purpose of this research is to analyze financial performance using liquidity ratios (Current Ratio and Cash Ratio), solvency (Debt to Assets Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio), profitability (Return on Investment and Return on Equity), and activity (Asset Turnover and Fixed Asset Turnover) at PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk. for the period 2019–2024. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive method, which explains and provides an overview of a phenomenon from numerical data listed in the financial statements for 6 consecutive years. The results of the study indicate that PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk. has excellent profitability and asset efficiency, this can be seen from the ROI, ROE, TAT, and FAT values that are above industry standards. However, in terms of liquidity, the Current Ratio is below standard, even though the Cash Ratio is very high. This is due to sufficient cash capacity to meet short-term obligations. Meanwhile, a high solvency ratio indicates the company dependence on debt, so financial risks need to be managed more carefully. This research provides an empirical picture of the strengths and weaknesses of the company financial performance and can be the basis for management strategies in optimizing capital structure, increasing liquidity, and maintaining asset efficiency in a sustainable manner.

Performance Management in Practice: How Levers of Control and Autonomous Motivation Affect Work Role Performance

2025-11-21T01:44:44+00:00

This research explores how the practice of management control systems shapes employees’ motivation and performance. It evaluates an integrated model of self-determination theory, the levers of control, and the work role performance framework. Data were collected via an online survey involving 333 employees in Indonesia from diverse sectors, and the analyses relied on structural equation modeling and ANOVA. The results indicate that using belief control systems or interactive control systems on their own, as well as combining diagnostic and interactive controls, enhances autonomous motivation. Conversely, boundary control systems and diagnostic control systems, when used independently, are associated with lower autonomous motivation. Autonomous motivation, in turn, contributes positively to work role performance, which covers proficiency, adaptivity, and proactivity. The study also finds that autonomous motivation serves as a partial mediator between the use of interactive controls, joint use of diagnostic and interactive controls, and work role performance. The findings emphasize the value of thoughtfully designing management control systems to support stronger motivation and better performance outcomes, and they highlight the importance of examining work role performance as a broader indicator of effectiveness, particularly in dynamic and interdependent work settings.

Analysis of Participatory Accounting System Transformation in Strengthening Risk Management and Regulatory Compliance in Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes)

2025-11-27T01:54:41+00:00

This study investigates the transformation of participatory accounting systems and their role in strengthening risk management and regulatory compliance within Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes). Many BUMDes still face limitations in financial governance capacity, weak internal controls, and inconsistent fulfillment of regulatory requirements. Participatory accounting, characterized by transparency, collaborative decision-making, and stakeholder engagement, is introduced as a strategic mechanism for improving financial accountability. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research integrates qualitative interviews, field observations, and document analysis with quantitative measurement of risk management and compliance indicators before and after the accounting transformation. The findings reveal that the participatory accounting transformation significantly enhances the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting, reinforces internal control mechanisms, and improves the identification, assessment, and mitigation of operational and financial risks. In addition, the transformed system increases regulatory compliance, particularly in standardized financial reporting, procedural adherence, and audit preparedness. This study concludes that participatory accounting constitutes a critical driver of resilient financial governance and promotes long-term accountability and sustainability of BUMDes. The results provide practical implications for policymakers, village governments, and BUMDes managers in designing adaptive accounting systems that foster transparency, stakeholder participation, and compliance with national regulations.
