Journal Research of Accounting (JARAC) aims as a medium of exchange of information and scientific works among the teaching staff, alumni, students, practitioners and observers of science in accounting and business. Journal Research of Accounting (JARAC) is that it recognises that informational problems are pervasive in financial markets and business organisations, and that accounting plays an important role in resolving such problems. Journal Research of Accounting (JARAC) welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions. Nonetheless, theoretical papers should yield novel testable implications, and empirical papers should be theoretically well-motivated. The Editors view accounting and finance as being closely related to economics and, as a consequence, papers submitted will often have theoretical motivations that are grounded in economics. EJA, however, also seeks papers that complement economics-based theorising with theoretical developments originating in other social science disciplines or traditions.
This journal permits and encourages authors to post items submitted to the journal on personal websites or institutional repositories both prior to and after publication, while providing bibliographic details that credit, if applicable, its publication in this journal.
Examining The Impact of Accounting Information Systems and Manual Bookkeeping Practices on MSME Performance: The Moderating Role of Human Capiltal
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of manual bookkeeping procedures and accounting information systems on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSME) and to investigate the moderating effect of human capital. The culinary MSME in Tabanan Regency's Baturiti District was the subject of the study. Data was gathered using questionnaires as part of a quantitative research strategy. A straightforward random sample method was used to obtain 98 responders in total. With the use of SmartPLS software, Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the data. The findings exhibit that MSME performance is influenced both positively and significantly by accounting information systems. The performance of MSMEs is significantly and positively influenced by manual bookkeeping procedures as well. Additionally, the results show that human capital moderates the impact of manual bookkeeping and accounting information systems on MSME performance. It is anticipated that this study would give MSME owners helpful recommendations on the best way to enhance company performance through efficient financial recording systems complemented by sufficient human resources.

Determinants of Tax Avoidance: Profitability, Sales Growth, Fiscal Loss Compensation, Firm Size, and Managerial Ownership in Indonesian Mining Companies
This study aims to examine the effect of profitability, sales growth, fiscal loss compensation, firm size, and managerial ownership on tax avoidance in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2022–2024 period. Tax avoidance is an important issue in corporate taxation because it reflects managerial efforts to reduce tax burdens through legally permissible tax planning strategies. The mining sector was selected as the research object because it is a strategic industry with high economic value, complex business activities, and significant tax contribution potential. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from annual financial statements published by mining companies. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method based on predetermined criteria. A total of 59 companies were selected, resulting in 177 firm- year observations. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The results show that profitability has a negative and significant effect on tax avoidance, indicating that more profitable firms tend to engage in lower levels of tax avoidance. Sales growth does not have a significant effect on tax avoidance, suggesting that an increase in sales does not necessarily influence corporate tax avoidance behavior. Meanwhile, fiscal loss compensation, firm size, and managerial ownership have positive and significant effects on tax avoidance. These findings indicate that companies with fiscal loss compensation, larger firm size, and higher managerial ownership tend to have greater incentives or opportunities to conduct tax avoidance. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the determinants of tax avoidance in Indonesian mining companies. The findings also provide practical implications for tax authorities, investors, and corporate stakeholders in assessing corporate tax planning behavior and strengthening tax compliance monitoring.

The Effect of Locus of Control, Professional Skepticism, and Work Motivation on Auditor Performance at Public Accounting Firms in Bali Province
Auditor performance is a critical determinant in ensuring the accountability, credibility, and reliability of corporate financial statements. High-quality auditor performance is essential not only for producing accurate audit outcomes but also for strengthening stakeholder confidence in the fairness of financial reporting. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of locus of control, professional skepticism, and work motivation on auditor performance. The research was conducted at Public Accounting Firms in Bali Province, involving 88 auditors selected through purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The regression model is expressed as Y = 6.101 - 0.035X1 + 0.218X2 + 0.214X3. The results indicate that locus of control does not significantly affect auditor performance. In contrast, professional skepticism has a positive effect on auditor performance, and work motivation also has a positive effect on auditor performance. These findings suggest that auditor performance is more strongly influenced by professional judgment and motivational factors than by individual control orientation. The study provides practical implications for Public Accounting Firms in enhancing auditor performance by strengthening professional skepticism and maintaining auditors’ work motivation.

The Influence of Inflation, Interest Rates and Exchange Rates- -Rupiah on the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) - -On the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020-2024 Period
This study investigates how three pivotal macroeconomic forces, inflation, domestic interest rates, and the rupiah to U.S. dollar exchange rate, shape stock market performance in Indonesia, as measured by the Indonesia Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) on the IDX from 2020 to 2024. Adopting a quantitative framework, the research draws exclusively on monthly secondary data sourced from authoritative institutions: Bank Indonesia (monetary indicators), Statistics Indonesia (BPS; inflation and economic aggregates), and the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX; index values). To evaluate the relationships, a multiple linear regression model is estimated, enabling assessment of both individual (t-tests) and collective (via F-test) impacts of the predictors. Empirical results reveal that higher inflation and elevated interest rates are consistently linked to declines in the IHSG, with both effects statistically significant at the 5% level. In contrast, exchange rate movements show no measurable association with the index. The overall model is validated by a significant F-statistic, confirming that domestic monetary conditions play a decisive role in driving equity market behavior in Indonesia, even as global uncertainties intensify.

Good Corporate Governance As A Moderator Of The Influence Of Green Accounting And Corporate Social Responsibility On Financial Performance
Growing societal attention to environmental and social challenges has prompted mining companies to integrate green accounting and CSR into their sustainability frameworks. Nevertheless, empirical evidence regarding their financial implications remains inconclusive. This study investigates the effects of green accounting and CSR on financial performance proxied by ROA and examines the moderating role of GCG, using panel data from 18 mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the period 2022–2024. Green accounting was measured using the PROPER rating, CSR disclosure was evaluated based on the GRI Standards 2021, and GCG was represented by the presence of independent commissioners and the audit committee. Data were analyzed through multiple regression and MRA. The results indicate that green accounting exerts a negative impact on ROA, whereas CSR contributes positively. The independent board of commissioners significantly moderates both relationships, attenuating the adverse effect of green accounting while dampening the positive effect of CSR. In contrast, the audit committee only moderates the link between green accounting and ROA, with no significant influence on the CSR and ROA relationship. These findings underscore that GCG mechanisms do not operate uniformly; rather, they shape the financial outcomes of sustainability initiatives in distinct and context-specific ways.

The Effect Of Profitability, Liquidity, Solvability And Activities On Corporate Values In Registered Food And Beverage Companies On The Indonesian Stock Exchange
This study examines the impact of financial ratios specifically profitability, liquidity, solvability, and activity on firm value in the food and beverage sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2021–2024. Amid economic volatility and rupiah depreciation, which significantly increased production costs due to imported raw materials, this research addresses how investors respond to financial signals in valuing companies. Using a quantitative approach, secondary data were collected from annual financial reports of 29 selected firms, resulting in 51 valid observations after data cleaning. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, preceded by classical assumption tests. The results show that profitability and activity have a significant positive effect on firm value, while solvability exerts a significant negative effect, and liquidity has no significant influence. These findings support Signaling Theory, indicating that only financially relevant and contextually credible information, such as operational efficiency and prudent leverage is perceived as strong signals by the market. This study contributes theoretically by reinforcing signaling mechanisms in emerging markets under macroeconomic stress, and practically by guiding corporate managers to prioritize asset efficiency and moderate debt levels to enhance firm value, while offering investors a refined framework for fundamental analysis in the food and beverage industry.

Determinants Of Corporate Tax Reporting Effectiveness: The Role Of Coretax System And Digital Literacy
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-ID; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">This study examines the determinants of corporate tax reporting effectiveness following the implementation of Indonesia’s Core Tax Administration System (Core Tax). Specifically, it investigates the effects of system usability, information clarity, and system reliability on tax reporting effectiveness, with digital literacy serving as a moderating variable. Drawing on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study employs a quantitative approach using survey data collected from corporate taxpayers. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that system usability, information clarity, and system reliability have a positive and significant effect on tax reporting effectiveness. Furthermore, digital literacy strengthens the relationship between system usability and tax reporting effectiveness, as well as between information clarity and reporting effectiveness. However, digital literacy does not significantly moderate the relationship between system reliability and reporting effectiveness. These findings suggest that technological improvements alone are insufficient without adequate user digital capabilities. This study contributes to the literature on digital tax administration by highlighting the importance of integrating system quality with taxpayer digital literacy to enhance compliance outcomes. The findings provide practical implications for tax authorities in improving digital tax systems and taxpayer assistance programs.

Profitability, Dividend Policy, and Firm Value: Evidence from Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
Firm value is the most important indicator when making investment decisions, as it reflects investors' perceptions of a company's financial performance, growth prospects, and future sustainability. Beyond profitability, financial strategies such as dividend policy play a crucial role in increasing firm value by signaling to investors about management confidence and financial stability. This research aims to examine the contribution of profitability to dividend policy, the effect of profitability on firm value, the contribution of dividend policy to firm value, and the mediating role of dividend policy in the correlation between profitability and firm value. The research also focused on food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. A quantitative approach was applied using secondary data obtained from annual financial reports. The sampling was aimed at 19 companies, resulting in 95 observations. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS version 4.1.1.2. The results show that profitability has a positive, then significant, contribution to dividend policy and firm value. Dividend policy also has a positive, then significant, contribution to firm value. Furthermore, dividend policy has been shown to partially mediate the correlation between profitability and firm value. These findings support signalling theory, which suggests that profitability and dividend policy serve as positive signals to investors in assessing a company's value. Consequently, companies with strong profitability and consistent dividend policies tend to achieve higher market value

The Effect Of Company Risk, Company Size, And Public Accounting Firm Status On Audit Fees In LQ45 Companies Listed On The IDX In 2019-2023
In recent years, the public accounting profession in Indonesia has faced serious challenges concerning the low audit fees received by Public Accounting Firms (PAF). The compensation for audit services is considered disproportionate to the responsibilities and complexity of the auditor's work, which may impact audit quality and the sustainability of the profession. In this context, this study aims to examine the factors that influence audit fees among companies listed in the LQ45 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2023 period. Three variables are analysed: company risk, company size, and the status of the public accounting firm. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data from annual financial reports and applies multiple linear regression analysis. The results reveal that all three variables—company risk, company size, and PAF status—significantly affect audit fees. Each variable is found to have a positive and significant influence on audit fees. These findings reinforce the view that company characteristics and auditor reputation are important determinants in setting external audit fees. This research contributes valuable insights for stakeholders, including corporate management and auditors, in understanding relevant factors for determining audit fees in a fair and professional manner.

This study examines how micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the handicraft sector of Gianyar Regency understand and implement financial accountability, particularly in relation to the Financial Accounting Standards for Entities without Public Accountability (SAK‑ETAP). A qualitative phenomenological approach was applied through in‑depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving 12 MSME owners/managers who hold a taxpayer identification number and have operated for at least three years. The findings reveal that accountability is largely interpreted as honest and orderly recording of cash flows in simple cash books rather than compliance with formal accounting standards, constrained by limited knowledge, human resources, costs, and lack of continuous assistance. Nevertheless, there is a growing awareness that accountable financial reporting is crucial to enhance credibility and access to finance, indicating the need for sustained support and mentoring to improve the quality of MSME financial reporting.

Enhancing MSME Tax Compliance: The Moderating Role Of Technology Readiness On The Impact Of Coretax Ease Of Use
This study examines the effect of Core Tax ease of use on tax compliance among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and investigates the moderating role of technology readiness. Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Technology Readiness Index (TRI), the study employs a quantitative approach using survey data collected from 100 MSME taxpayers registered at the North Badung Primary Tax Office. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression and moderated regression analysis. The findings indicate that Core Tax ease of use has a positive and significant effect on MSME tax compliance, suggesting that a user-friendly digital tax system reduces administrative burden and encourages voluntary compliance. Furthermore, technology readiness significantly strengthens the relationship between Core Tax ease of use and tax compliance, highlighting the importance of taxpayers’ technological preparedness in maximizing the benefits of system usability. This study contributes to digital taxation literature by integrating system usability and user readiness factors and provides practical implications for enhancing MSME tax compliance through improved digital system design and technology readiness programs.

Literature Review: The Effect Of Financial Literacy And Financial Inclusion On The Performance Of Micro, Small And Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy and financial inclusion on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The review was conducted by examining fifteen research articles, including national and international scholarly publications issued between 2019 and 2025, which explicitly discuss the relationship between financial literacy, financial inclusion, and MSME performance. The results indicate that both financial literacy and financial inclusion have a positive and significant effect on improving MSME performance. Financial literacy serves as an internal factor that strengthens entrepreneurs’ ability to manage finances, while financial inclusion functions as an external factor that broadens access to formal financing sources and digital financial services. The review also reveals a synergistic relationship between the two, in which financial literacy enables MSME actors to utilize financial services effectively, whereas financial inclusion provides the means to apply such knowledge in business practice. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating financial literacy enhancement programs with financial inclusion policies to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of MSMEs in the digital economy era.

Optimizing Levers of Control within Management Control Systems to Strengthen Employee Performance in Bali’s Village Credit Institutions (LPDs)
This study aims to analyze the influence of the four main components of the Levers of Control framework developed by Simons—Belief Systems, Boundary Systems, Diagnostic Control Systems, and Interactive Control Systems—on organizational performance in Village Credit Institutions (LPD) in Bali. LPDs play a strategic role in strengthening the traditional village economy, yet they face performance and governance challenges amid increasing competition in the financial services industry. The study employs a quantitative approach using random sampling techniques based on Krejcie and Morgan’s (1970) formula. From a population of 697 healthy-category LPDs, 273 questionnaires were distributed and 248 were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method to examine the relationships among variables. The findings show that Belief Systems and Diagnostic Control Systems do not have a significant effect on organizational performance, indicating that organizational values and performance measurement systems have not been effectively internalized into work behavior or decision-making processes. In contrast, Boundary Systems and Interactive Control Systems have a positive and significant effect on organizational performance. Clear rules and boundaries strengthen discipline and accountability, while two-way communication between leaders and employees enhances innovation, participation, and adaptability to changes in the business environment.

Audit Committee Influence on Accrual Earnings Management: The Moderating Role of Audit Quality
This study aims to examine the effect of the audit committee on accrual-based earnings management with audit quality as a moderating variable. The population of this study includes manufacturing companies in the consumer goods sector, specifically the processed food industry subsector, listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. A purposive sampling technique was applied, and from the 23 companies in the population, 10 companies were selected as the sample. The study used secondary data obtained from annual reports and financial statements published on the official IDX website. A total of 40 firm-year observations were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 27. The results indicate that the audit committee does not have a significant effect on accrual-based earnings management. In addition, audit quality does not moderate the relationship between the audit committee and accrual-based earnings management. These findings imply that the presence of an audit committee and the level of audit quality are not sufficient to reduce earnings management practices in the companies studied.

Corporate Governance Mechanisms, CEO Power, And Their Impact On Environmental Performance
This study aims to analyze the influence of institutional ownership, managerial ownership, independent commissioners, audit committees, and CEO power on the environmental performance of consumer goods manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2023 period. Environmental performance is measured using the PROPER rating, which reflects the level of corporate compliance with environmental management standards. The population in this study consists of consumer goods sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2021 to 2023. The research data was obtained through the purposive sampling method, with a total of 39 companies observed from annual reports and sustainability reports. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression. The results show that institutional ownership, managerial ownership, and independent commissioners significantly influence environmental performance. However, the audit committee and CEO power do not have a significant effect. This study is expected to provide insights for corporate management to improve environmental performance and support business sustainability through the implementation of good corporate governance.

The Role of Morality in Preventing Accounting Fraud: A Study of LPD in Karangasem District
This research explores how individual moral awareness influences efforts to reduce accounting irregularities within Village Credit Institutions (LPDs) in Karangasem District, Bali. Individual morality is conceptualized as an internal psychological factor that significantly contributes to reducing the likelihood of fraud by fostering integrity and ethical awareness in financial decision-making. The research population comprised 23 LPDs with 63 employees. Samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique, focusing on active LPDs whose administrators consisted of the Chairperson, Secretary, and Treasurer. Based on these criteria, 14 LPDs with 42 respondents were included in the final analysis. The empirical assessment employed descriptive analysis, classical assumption verification (including normality and multicollinearity checks), and simple linear regression to evaluate the proposed relationship. Findings indicate that individual morality contributes positively and significantly to reducing accounting fraud, with a regression coefficient of 0.374, a t-value of 3.810, and a p-value of 0.000, confirming the robustness of the effect. A greater sense of moral responsibility among LPD staff is therefore associated with a decline in manipulative accounting behaviors. The research findings are consistent with the Fraud Triangle (Cressey, 1953) and Fraud Hexagon (Vousinas, 2019) theories, in which individual morality plays a role in suppressing the rationalization element of fraudulent behavior. Furthermore, these results reinforce Kohlberg's (1981) theory of moral development, which places individuals with high morality in the post-conventional stage, acting based on universal ethical principles. This research emphasizes the importance of morality as a non-formal internal control mechanism in strengthening the integrity of community-based financial institutions.
