To determine whether budget absorption is increased by the <br />government's internal control system, to determine whether organizational commitment can <br />increase budget absorption while reducing the impact of budget planning, to determine the <br />possibility that organizational commitment can mitigate the benefits of the government's <br />internal control system on budget absorption. <br />Design/methodology/approach - Data collection using a questionnaire with a research <br />sample of 90 respondents. The data analysis tool used multiple regression with the F test and <br />t test. <br />Findings - The findings of the analysis indicate that organizational commitment can <br />mitigate the impact of budget planning and the government's internal control system on <br />budget absorption. Budget planning has a negative impact on budget absorption, while the <br />government's internal control system has a positive impact. <br />Research limitations/implications - The conclusion of this study is to describe the <br />theoretical implications by adding new literature and insights into regional finances and <br />providing ideas for further research so that the Kulon Progo Regency OPD can improve its <br />ability to maximize the budget planning that has been prepared and implement the <br />government's internal control system effectively, efficiently and sustainably so that all <br />organizational goals, especially budget absorption, can run well proportionally every <br />quarter. And budget absorption at the end of the year, can be achieved according to target.</p> <p><br />Keywords: Budget Absorption, Government Internal Control System, <br />Organizational Commitment</p> Sri Ayem, Tomi Purwanto Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9048 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Implementation of Accounting Information Systems Using the Bank Indonesia APIK SI Application in MSMEs http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/8885 <p>Purpose –This research aims to analyze and implement the SI APIK application that can assist <br />and manage financial records and financial reports at the company. <br />Design/Methodology/Approach - This research uses a qualitative method with a case study <br />approach, which aims to study and investigate a phenomenon or event for individuals. This <br />research also conducted several data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, <br />and documentation. This method is used to analyze the implementation of the SI APIK <br />application at PT Dinara Indonesia Solusindo. <br />Findings - The results of implementing an accounting information system using the SI APIK <br />application in three subsidiaries of PT Dinara Indonesia Solusindo, namely, Dinara Wooden <br />Heels, Dinara Travelindo, and Calico Jajananku, found that the SI APIK application makes it <br />easier for PT Dinara Indonesia Solusindo to record daily transactions and prepare financial <br />reports according to SAK EMKM, so that owners get financial information in the form of <br />financial statements quickly. <br />Research Limitations/Implications - The limitation of this research is that it only focuses on <br />one company, namely PT Dinara Indonesia Solusindo. The results of this study provide <br />implications so that business owners can implement the SI APIK application to facilitate <br />financial management and decision making.</p> <p><br />Keywords: Accounting Information System, Financial Statements, SI APIK</p> Putri Wulandari Hari Rachman, Sri Andriani Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/8885 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Integrating Internal Control and User Competence: Enriching Accounting Information System Quality http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9598 <p>Purpose - This study aims to investigate how user competency and internal controls help to <br />improve the quality of accounting information systems (AIS) in enterprises. The study <br />intends to discover how these characteristics influence the usefulness of the Accounting <br />Information System notably with respect to financial data quality overall decisions being <br />made. <br />Design/methodology/approach - The focus of this study discusses the data that has been <br />taken from 94 respondents registered as civil servants at several departments in PT Pos <br />Indonesia. To analyze this relationship of user competency, internal controls and AIS quality <br />a research methodology for the investigation into Partial Least Square-Structural Equation <br />Modeling (PLS-SEM) is adopted. <br />Findings - The findings of PLS-SEM analysis reveal that they both seem to play significant <br />roles in enhancing the quality level of AIS. Proficient operators will be able to navigate the <br />system easily, input data accurately and interpret outputs properly thus lowering mistakes in <br />financial reporting. To ensure data integrity, control fraud and keep a clean system of record <br />various internal controls such as dual verification, segregation of roles or regular audits are <br />essential. <br />Research limitations/implications - The study refers to the responses given by PT Pos <br />Indonesia so it is not generalisable for other organizations or industries. Further study should <br />consider businesses having different scales of operations to increase the validity in results. <br />From a practical standpoint, the study has implications for investing in users training and <br />development as well as on setting up strong internal control mechanisms to reduce AIS <br />performance shortfall that influences judgment making reasoning within organizations. <br />These require integrity, a strong fraud prevention and transaction record keeping.</p> <p><br />Keywords: User Competence, Internal Controls, PLS-SEM</p> Rapina Rapina, Nurul Intawaty Permata Mustamin Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9598 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Institutional Ownership and Intellectual Capital Determining Factors in the Value of Textile and Garment Companies http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9223 <p>Purpose – This study investigates the influence of institutional ownership and intellectual <br />capital on the valuation of textile and garment manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia <br />Stock Exchange (BEI) between 2018 and 2022. <br />Design/Methodology/Approach - This research is a quantitative study that employs <br />secondary data obtained from literature and documentation investigations. The data for this <br />research was acquired from the IDX website and the official websites of each firm listed on <br />the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2018 and 2022. The research sample comprised 14 <br />companies, from which a total of 70 data points were collected using purposive sampling. <br />Data analysis encompasses several statistical techniques such as classical assumption testing, <br />multiple linear regression, correlation, determination, partial tests, and simultaneous tests. <br />These techniques are performed using IBM SPSS version 26 software. <br />Findings - The research findings indicate the presence of institutional ownership exerts a <br />detrimental influence on the overall value of a company. Conversely, intellectual capital has <br />a beneficial influence on the value of a corporation. <br />Research Limitations/Implications - The impact of the following research is that it can <br />become a basis for developing knowledge about company value as additional information and consideration in an investment. However, the limited availability of data, particularly when <br />organizations do not supply comprehensive and reliable information, diminishes the statistical <br />power of research. This, in turn, decreases the likelihood of discovering a genuine association, <br />making it difficult to make generalizable conclusions.</p> <p>Keywords: Institutional Ownership, Intellectual Capital, Company Value</p> Aurrel Azalea Cesarena Putri, Raden Budi Hendaris Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9223 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Political Connections, Board Gender Diversity, and Institutional Ownership on Tax Avoidance http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9051 <p>Purpose - This study aims to analyze the influence of Political Connections, Board Gender <br />Diversity, Institutional Ownership on Tax Avoidance. <br />Design/methodology/approach - The research method is quantitative using secondary data. <br />The population used is the Property and Real Estate sector companies listed on the IDX <br />(Indonesia Stock Exchange) for 2018-2022 period. Sampling technique used purposive <br />sampling, obtained 70 observation data. Data analysis techniques using multiple linear <br />regression analysis, correlation coefficient, coefficient of determination, t test, f test using <br />SPSS 26 software. <br />Findings - Based on the results of research and discussion, it shows that Political Connections, <br />Board Gender Diversity, Institutional Ownership have a significant partial and simultaneous <br />effect on Tax Avoidance. <br />Research limitations/implications - The first research limitation, the sector used in this study <br />is just one of those that is listed on the IDX, while there are still many sectors that are not <br />used. Second, the study period is limited to five years. Third, many other variables that can <br />affect tax avoidance are not examined in this study.</p> <p><br />Keywords: Political Connections, Board Gender Diversity, Institutional Ownership, Tax <br />Avoidance</p> Joseph Febian Pontoh, Siti Kustinah Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9051 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Reasons for Not Choosing Accounting Profession – Behavioral and Normative Conviction http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9005 <p>Purpose - Career choice among students is a crucial factor influencing career success and <br />industry development. Accounting is one of the frequently chosen professions; however, there <br />is a trend showing that some students tend to avoid this field. To understand this phenomenon in greater depth, this study aims to analyze how students' beliefs affect their thought patterns, attitudes, and subjective norms in the context of career choice, and to understand the reasons behind their tendency to avoid choosing an accounting profession at a private higher education institution, using the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) as the analytical framework. <br />Design/methodology/approach - This research approach is quantitative, and the data used in <br />this study were collected through the distribution of questionnaires. Surveys were <br />electronically sent to third and final-year students among 100 students at private higher <br />education institutions in West Java over a period of two months. <br />Findings - The results confirmed the simplified TRA model and indicated that behavioral <br />beliefs (such as difficulties with accounting and higher salaries in other professions) and <br />normative beliefs (such as parental influence), through individual attitudes and subjective <br />norms, affect students' decisions to pursue a career in accounting at certain private higher <br />education institutions. The findings suggest that accounting programs at some private higher <br />education institutions should have initiatives to encourage students to develop an interest in <br />accounting, such as recruiting professional accountants as practitioners to provide motivating <br />activities and assist students in learning more about the field. <br />Research limitations/implications – Additionally, more practical information should be <br />included in accounting courses, along with effective teaching strategies, and internships and <br />required courses should be incorporated into the college curriculum and actively shared on <br />social media.</p> <p><br />Keywords: Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Convictions, Accounting Career</p> Mardiana Mardiana, Michelle Kurniawan, Oei Venny Febrianti Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9005 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Changes in Budget Tightening and Emotional Exhaustion: Role Ambiguity as Mediator and Trust as Moderator http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9695 <p><em>Purpose - This study aims to determine how changes in budget tightness, emotional <br />exhaustion, role ambiguity and trust in senior management after the Covid-19 Pandemic <br />affected the hospitality industry in West Java. <br />Design/methodology/approach - This study uses a quantitative approach with data collection <br />through questionnaires distributed online to 121 hospitality industry managers in West Java. <br />The sample selection was randomized. <br />Findings - The results showed that budget tightness affects role ambiguity, role ambiguity <br />affects emotional exhaustion, trust in senior management strengthens the relationship between <br />budget tightness and role ambiguity. <br />Research limitations/implications - The implication of these findings is that the hospitality <br />industry should prepare for future challenges by strengthening trust between management and <br />employees, reducing role ambiguity through clear communication of job expectations, and <br />managing emotional exhaustion through wellbeing support and management strategies. <br />Limitations of this study include post-pandemic conditions without direct comparison with <br />pre-pandemic conditions.</em></p> <p><em> <br />Keywords: Budget Tightness, Emotional Exhaustion, Role Ambiguity, Trust </em></p> Chindy Anggraeni Luthfihani, Setin Setin Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9695 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Board of Commissioners' Proportion, Green Innovation, and Carbon Disclosure in Enhancing Firm Value: The Role of Firm Size http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9431 <p>Purpose - This study aims to examine the impact of the proportion of the board of commissioners, green innovation, and carbon emission disclosure on firm value, with firm size as a moderating variable, in non-cyclical consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2022. <br />Design/methodology/approach - This study is a quantitative research using secondary data, which are processed and published. The population in this study consists of non-cyclical consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2022.

Hausman was further ignited to select a better model <br />amid fixed effects and random effects estimations. Other tests such as autocorrelation test, <br />VIF, and heteroscedasticity were also conducted. <br />Findings - It was divulged from the study that PAYE was discovered having positive effect <br />on domestic debts servicing. Direct assessment and road tax also possessed cordial <br />relationships with domestic debt servicing but other taxes impacted domestic debt servicing <br />negatively. Conclusively, positive correlation was established between personal income tax <br />revenue and domestic debt servicing in South-Western Nigeria. Also, PIT has positive, <br />significant and statistical impact on domestic debt servicing in South-Western Nigeria. When <br />personal income tax collections increase, the government tends to rely less on domestic debt <br />to finance its activities. <br />Research limitations/implications – It is recommended that government should strengthen <br />tax enforcement mechanisms to display proper accountability and transparency measures so <br />that revenue realized from PIT will be enormously enough to emaciated domestic debt <br />significantly in south western Nigeria. Government should also lessen domestic borrowings <br />but activate unexploited taxes embedded in PIT, and curtail corruption in borrowed funds for <br />effective usage in the country.</p> <p><br />Keywords: Domestic Debt Servicing, PIT, PAYE, Road Tax, Direct Assessment</p> Tajudeen Adejare Adegbite Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9910 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Evaluating the Role of Transparent Financial Reporting on Capital Structure Decision-Making of Nigerian Beverage Companies http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/10003 <p>Purpose – Inaccurate financial report may lead to wrong financing decisions in a business. <br />This study therefore examines how financial reporting transparency supports the capital <br />structure decisions-making process, focusing on Nigerian listed beverage companies. <br />Design/methodology/approach – The study analyzes secondary data from the annual <br />financial statements of six selected listed beverage firms for a period of twelve years (2012- <br />2023). The research employs an ex post facto research approach. The research applies <br />descriptive statistics and panel regression methods comprising fixed effect, random effect <br />and pooled least squares models. After conducting model selection tests, the study considers <br />a random effect model for data estimation. <br />Findings – The results reveal that capital adequacy, debt financing and tangibility of asset <br />play positive significant roles on capital structure decisions-making of Nigerian beverages <br />companies. The research discovers that maintaining transparent financial reports facilitate <br />capital structure decision-making processes of Nigerian beverage companies. The study <br />suggests for beverage firms to diversify their financing sources in order to reduce <br />dependency on debt and avoid its associated risks <br />Research limitations/implications – The limitations include industry specificity and <br />regional applicability, but the findings highlight the importance of adequate capital, <br />tangible assets and debt financing in capital structure decision of beverage companies.</p> <p><br />Keywords: Capital Structure, Decision-Making, Nigerian Beverage Companies, <br />Transparent Financial Reporting</p> Ayoola Azeez Olaoye Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/10003 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Internal Control, Organizational Culture, and Leadership Style: Analysis of the Impact on Employee Fraud http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/9050 <p>Purpose - This study focuses on manufacturing companies as its subjects of investigation.

In addition, partners feel helped by the recording <br />using the SILAKSAK application because partners no longer need notebooks and partner <br />finances can be accessed and monitored by partner owners. <br />Research limitations/implications – Before implementing a financial application, partners <br />must be equipped with knowledge about finance, for example what is a balance sheet, profit, <br />ledger and others.</p> <p><br />Keywords: SILAKSAK, UMKM, FDD, Application</p> Rudy Sofian, Fahmi Reza Ferdiansyah, Hamidah Hamidah, Muhamad Rizky Nurrohmat, Rahil Alya Dewi Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/10048 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 How Financial Distress, Audit Committee, and CGI Shape Earnings Management through Stock Liquidity http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/10123 <p>Purpose – The aim of this study is to examine how financial distress, audit committees, and <br />the Corporate Governance Index (CGI) impact accrual-based earnings management, with <br />stock liquidity serving as a moderating variable. The goal of this research is to explore ways <br />to reduce earnings management practices by analyzing how these factors influence managerial behavior. <br />Design/methodology/approach – Secondary data were obtained from the annual financial <br />reports of LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Financial ratios <br />were used to measure financial distress, while audit committees and CGI served as indicators <br />of corporate governance. Stock liquidity was evaluated for its moderating effect. The analysis <br />method employed in this research is a moderation approach using multiple linear regression. <br />Findings – This study found that financial distress did not have a significant effect on earnings <br />management, both before and during the pandemic. The frequency of audit committee <br />meetings had a positive impact before the pandemic, but its effect diminished afterward. The <br />Corporate Governance Index (CGI) and stock liquidity also did not show any significant <br />impact. Overall, the model used is valid and able to explain the relationship between the <br />independent variables and earnings management. <br />Research limitations/implications – While the study offers a comprehensive understanding <br />of the factors influencing earnings management, it is limited by the use of secondary data and its focus on LQ45 companies, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.</p> <p><br />Keywords: Earnings Management, Financial Distress, Corporate Governance, Audit <br />Committee, Stock Liquidity</p> Mardianto Mardianto, Novita Novita Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/10123 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Debt Covenant, Tax Expense, and Intangible Assets on Transfer Pricing http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/7249 <p>Purpose - Determine and analyze the effect of Debt Covenant, Tax Expense, and Intangible <br />Asset on Transfer Pricing. <br />Design/methodology/approach - This study uses an associative quantitative approach using <br />multiple linear regression analysis and Eviews 9 data analysis tools. This study uses a sample <br />of 11 companies, which was determined based on the purposive sampling method, which is a <br />sample selection with specific criteria. <br />Findings - The results of this study indicate that Debt Covenant, Tax Burden, and Intangible <br />Asset have simultaneous and significant effects on transfer pricing. Partially, Debt Covenant <br />has a negative and significant effect on transfer pricing, Tax Burden and Intangible Asset <br />have no effect on transfer pricing. <br />Research limitations/implications – The research findings prove that there are differences of <br />interest where companies want to increase profits by minimizing tax payments to the <br />government. However, it is better to use methods that have been legalized by the government and do not conflict with tax regulations in force in Indonesia so as not to harm the state treasury which leads to disputes with the Directorate General of Taxes.</p> <p><br />Keywords: Debt Covenant, Tax Expense, Intangible Asset, Transfer Pricing</p> Jenny Puspita Sari, Wiwit Irawati Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Akuntansi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://114.7.153.31/index.php/jam/article/view/7249 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000
