Integrating Internal Control and User Competence: Enriching Accounting Information System Quality

Rapina Rapina, Nurul Intawaty Permata Mustamin — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose - This study aims to investigate how user competency and internal controls help to
improve the quality of accounting information systems (AIS) in enterprises. The study
intends to discover how these characteristics influence the usefulness of the Accounting
Information System notably with respect to financial data quality overall decisions being
made.
Design/methodology/approach - The focus of this study discusses the data that has been
taken from 94 respondents registered as civil servants at several departments in PT Pos
Indonesia. To analyze this relationship of user competency, internal controls and AIS quality
a research methodology for the investigation into Partial Least Square-Structural Equation
Modeling (PLS-SEM) is adopted.
Findings - The findings of PLS-SEM analysis reveal that they both seem to play significant
roles in enhancing the quality level of AIS. Proficient operators will be able to navigate the
system easily, input data accurately and interpret outputs properly thus lowering mistakes in
financial reporting. To ensure data integrity, control fraud and keep a clean system of record
various internal controls such as dual verification, segregation of roles or regular audits are
essential.
Research limitations/implications - The study refers to the responses given by PT Pos
Indonesia so it is not generalisable for other organizations or industries. Further study should
consider businesses having different scales of operations to increase the validity in results.
From a practical standpoint, the study has implications for investing in users training and
development as well as on setting up strong internal control mechanisms to reduce AIS
performance shortfall that influences judgment making reasoning within organizations.
These require integrity, a strong fraud prevention and transaction record keeping.

Institutional Ownership and Intellectual Capital Determining Factors in the Value of Textile and Garment Companies

Aurrel Azalea Cesarena Putri, Raden Budi Hendaris — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose – This study investigates the influence of institutional ownership and intellectual
capital on the valuation of textile and garment manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia
Stock Exchange (BEI) between 2018 and 2022.
Design/Methodology/Approach - This research is a quantitative study that employs
secondary data obtained from literature and documentation investigations. The data for this
research was acquired from the IDX website and the official websites of each firm listed on
the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2018 and 2022. The research sample comprised 14
companies, from which a total of 70 data points were collected using purposive sampling.
Data analysis encompasses several statistical techniques such as classical assumption testing,
multiple linear regression, correlation, determination, partial tests, and simultaneous tests.
These techniques are performed using IBM SPSS version 26 software.
Findings - The research findings indicate the presence of institutional ownership exerts a
detrimental influence on the overall value of a company. Conversely, intellectual capital has
a beneficial influence on the value of a corporation.
Research Limitations/Implications - The impact of the following research is that it can
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
organizations do not supply comprehensive and reliable information, diminishes the statistical
power of research. This, in turn, decreases the likelihood of discovering a genuine association,
making it difficult to make generalizable conclusions.

Reasons for Not Choosing Accounting Profession – Behavioral and Normative Conviction

Mardiana Mardiana, Michelle Kurniawan, Oei Venny Febrianti — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose - Career choice among students is a crucial factor influencing career success and
industry development. Accounting is one of the frequently chosen professions; however, there
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.
Design/methodology/approach - This research approach is quantitative, and the data used in
this study were collected through the distribution of questionnaires. Surveys were
electronically sent to third and final-year students among 100 students at private higher
education institutions in West Java over a period of two months.
Findings - The results confirmed the simplified TRA model and indicated that behavioral
beliefs (such as difficulties with accounting and higher salaries in other professions) and
normative beliefs (such as parental influence), through individual attitudes and subjective
norms, affect students' decisions to pursue a career in accounting at certain private higher
education institutions. The findings suggest that accounting programs at some private higher
education institutions should have initiatives to encourage students to develop an interest in
accounting, such as recruiting professional accountants as practitioners to provide motivating
activities and assist students in learning more about the field.
Research limitations/implications – Additionally, more practical information should be
included in accounting courses, along with effective teaching strategies, and internships and
required courses should be incorporated into the college curriculum and actively shared on
social media.

Personal Income Tax and Domestic Debt Servicing: Verdict from Panel Fixed Effects

Tajudeen Adejare Adegbite — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose - This study examined the effect of PIT on domestic debt servicing in South western
states, Nigeria.
Design/methodology/approach - Data gathered from all south western states were analyzed
with Pearson correlation, VIF, and panel data analytical tools such as pooled regression, fixed
effects and random effects estimations. Hausman was further ignited to select a better model
amid fixed effects and random effects estimations. Other tests such as autocorrelation test,
VIF, and heteroscedasticity were also conducted.
Findings - It was divulged from the study that PAYE was discovered having positive effect
on domestic debts servicing. Direct assessment and road tax also possessed cordial
relationships with domestic debt servicing but other taxes impacted domestic debt servicing
negatively. Conclusively, positive correlation was established between personal income tax
revenue and domestic debt servicing in South-Western Nigeria. Also, PIT has positive,
significant and statistical impact on domestic debt servicing in South-Western Nigeria. When
personal income tax collections increase, the government tends to rely less on domestic debt
to finance its activities.
Research limitations/implications – It is recommended that government should strengthen
tax enforcement mechanisms to display proper accountability and transparency measures so
that revenue realized from PIT will be enormously enough to emaciated domestic debt
significantly in south western Nigeria. Government should also lessen domestic borrowings
but activate unexploited taxes embedded in PIT, and curtail corruption in borrowed funds for
effective usage in the country.

How Financial Distress, Audit Committee, and CGI Shape Earnings Management through Stock Liquidity

Mardianto Mardianto, Novita Novita — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose – The aim of this study is to examine how financial distress, audit committees, and
the Corporate Governance Index (CGI) impact accrual-based earnings management, with
stock liquidity serving as a moderating variable. The goal of this research is to explore ways
to reduce earnings management practices by analyzing how these factors influence managerial behavior.
Design/methodology/approach – Secondary data were obtained from the annual financial
reports of LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Financial ratios
were used to measure financial distress, while audit committees and CGI served as indicators
of corporate governance. Stock liquidity was evaluated for its moderating effect. The analysis
method employed in this research is a moderation approach using multiple linear regression.
Findings – This study found that financial distress did not have a significant effect on earnings
management, both before and during the pandemic. The frequency of audit committee
meetings had a positive impact before the pandemic, but its effect diminished afterward. The
Corporate Governance Index (CGI) and stock liquidity also did not show any significant
impact. Overall, the model used is valid and able to explain the relationship between the
independent variables and earnings management.
Research limitations/implications – While the study offers a comprehensive understanding
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.
