2024-02-16T03:42:11+00:00

Abstract

Purpose - This study intends to see how corporate governance impacted firm performance during the COVID-19 pandemic across firms registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, except the financial industry.
Design/methodology/approach - The period of this study is 2020, where the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. This research refers to research conducted by Khatib & Nour (2021).

The results showed that corporate governance had an impact on firm performance during the COVID-19 pandemic in 279 firms registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This study is consistent with Sami et al. (2011), Guney et al. (2020), and Khatib & Nour (2021).
Research limitations/implications - This study only examines the impact of corporate governance on firm performance during the COVID-19 pandemic while before the pandemic was not examined so that the results cannot be compared.

Financial Performance Analysis of Investor Reactions with Sustainability Reports as a Moderating Variable in Mining Companies Listed on The IDX

2024-02-16T03:33:57+00:00

Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to analyze financial performance on investor reaction with sustainability report as a moderator. Sustainability report is proxied by sustainability report disclosure index (SRDI), financial performance is proxied by 4 measures namely ROA, CR, TAT and DER, then investor reaction is proxied by stock returns.
Design/methodology/approach - The population of research used is mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019-2021 period. The study used purposive sampling technique in determining the research sample. From a population of 60 mining companies, 15 companies were obtained that met the predetermined sample criteria with the observation period 2019-2021. The analysis method used is Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA).
Findings - The results showed that financial performance based on ROA proxies has a positive effect on investor reactions and TAT has a negative effect on investor reactions. Financial performance based on CR and DER proxies has no effect on investor reactions. The results also show that the sustainability report is able to moderate the effect of financial performance based on ROA proxies on investor reactions, but the sustainability report is not able to moderate the effect of financial performance based on CR, TAT and DER proxies on investor reactions. This shows that investors still value ROA as a reference in assessing the financial performance of mining companies. Sustainability reports are proven to be a factor that moderates ROA on investor reactions. Mining companies may start to consider sustainability reports to attract investor reaction.
Research limitations/implications – The results of this study cannot be generalized because the scope of this research is limited to the mining industry.

Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to determine the effect of GCG and CSR on Financial Performance Through Earning Management during Covid-19 pandemic to see whether the company can be sustainable.
Design/methodology/approach - Study employs a quantitative methodology and utilizes the firm LQ45, one of 45 companies listed on the IDX for the 2018–2022 time frame. Based on EPS and TBQ as proxies.
Findings - The research findings demonstrate a substantial impact of CSR on FP. Financial performance is significantly impacted by GCG factors with institutional ownership proxies, ROA, EPS, and TBQ proxies, as well as audit quality indicators. The Kind variable on financial performance, which is mediated by the total accrual of the CSR variable in the form of TBQ and EPS, can't be mediated by Total Accrual. This indicates that the independent variable has no discernible negative impact on financial performance. Total accruals mediate between the independent variable's large positive impact on financial performance. Thus, it is clear that whereas earnings management can do so between GCG and CSR variables to financial performance. Management can choose to either maximize or minimize income through accounting policies, which can worry investors. Hence, enhancing environmental and social activities through CSR can impact earnings management.
Research limitations/implications – Implementing CSR in businesses can safeguard the environment while also improving financial success, Especially given that the ordinary investor is concerned with the environment and the company's sustainability.

accountability, and professionalism) on the quality of audit results and to analyze the role of
mediation in audit performance and the impact of the codes (competence, accounting, and
professionalism) on the quality of auditing results. The attribution theory component is
included in the proposed model.
Design/methodology/approach - Data for this research is collected through survey methods, namely questionnaires. Research data and hypotheses are analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM), which is based on PLS. Respondents are 109 internal auditors at the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Indonesia.
Findings - The results of this study show that competence, accountability, and
professionalism have a positive and significant influence on the quality of the audit outcome.

on the performance of the auditor. The auditor's performance has a positive and significant
impact on the quality of the audit outcome. Audit performance as a mediation role in this
research is fully mediated, which means that significantly independent variables (competence, accounting, and professional) are able to influence the dependent variable (quality of audit outcomes) without going through the mediation variable (auditor performance).
Research limitations/implications – Improve and maintain the Code of Ethics (competence,
accountability and professionalism) within the Internal Auditor environment at the Attorney
