However, the adoption of digital technology by MSMEs in Indonesia is still relatively low; the APJII report (2023) shows that only around 34.6% of MSMEs fully utilize digital platforms. In fact, digitalization has been proven to increase operational efficiency, expand markets, and improve the quality of customer service. One important factor that is often overlooked is managerial ability, especially in financial management. Many MSMEs still record their finances manually, or even do not do it at all, making it difficult to make data-based decisions, access funding, or invest in technology. This shows that digitalization requires not only technological readiness, but also good financial management capacity. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method as the main data collection technique. The research population is MSME actors in urban and semi-urban areas that have been operating for at least two years. Sampling was conducted using the purposive sampling method, with the main criteria: (1) MSMEs that have financial bookkeeping activities, and (2) have or are using at least one digital application in business operations. Primary data were collected through a 1–5 Likert scale questionnaire measuring financial management variables (planning, recording, monitoring, and evaluation) and business digitalization variables (use of technology, process efficiency, and expansion of market access). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results of the study showed that good financial management practices contributed significantly to the level of MSME digitalization. MSMEs with a neat financial recording and planning system tend to be more financially ready to adopt digital technology. This finding is in line with the study of Setyawati et al. cite_start which states that the success of adopting digital technology is also determined by internal readiness, including financial governance.</em></p> 2025-07-28T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Economic Research and Financial Accounting https://ijerfa.afdifaljournal.com/index.php/ijerfa/article/view/336 Analysis of Liquidity, Solvency, and Activity Ratios on the Financial Performance of PT Siantar Top Tbk Listed on the IDX for the Period 2019–2023 2025-05-20T12:13:32+00:00 Nur Annisa nurannisa2229@gmail.com Meigia Nidya Sari nurannisa2229@gmail.com Nina Andriany Nasution3 nurannisa2229@gmail.com <p><em>This study aims to determine the liquidity, solvency, and activity ratios in relation to financial performance at PT.

Data collection techniques were carried out through documentation and literature studies. Data analysis techniques employed comparative descriptive analysis. The results of the study indicate that financial performance, as measured by liquidity ratios, is in good/inefficient condition, suggesting that the company has a very strong ability to meet its short-term obligations (good). However, the high current ratio exceeding the ideal threshold indicates inefficient utilization of current assets (inefficiency). From the solvency ratio perspective, the company's financial performance is in very good condition, as evidenced by a significant downward trend, thereby reducing dependence on external debt. From the activity ratio perspective, financial performance is in poor condition due to a significant annual decline, reflecting reduced efficiency in utilizing assets to generate revenue.</em></p> 2025-07-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Economic Research and Financial Accounting https://ijerfa.afdifaljournal.com/index.php/ijerfa/article/view/357 The Influence of Islamic Social Reporting and Islamic Corporate Governance on Financial Performance in Islamic Banking in Indonesia 2025-07-09T03:42:52+00:00 Adib Asyraf 234adib2341@gmail.com Afrizal Afrizal 234adib234@gmail.com Muhammad Ridwan 234adib234@gmail.com <p>This study aims to determine the influence of Islamic Social Reporting and Islamic Corporate Governance partially and simultaneously on financial performance.

This article aims to analyze the role of basic fiscal policy in economic stabilization, long-term growth, and the challenges of its implementation in identifying effective fiscal policies to control inflation and budget deficits. However, factors such as time lag, political uncertainty, and government debt pose significant challenges. This article also highlights the importance of coordinating fiscal policy with monetary policy to achieve optimal macroeconomic objectives.The largest source of state revenue comes from taxes, including Corporate Income Tax (CIT) levied on a company's annual income. The term 'badan' (entity) encompasses entities such as limited liability companies, state-owned enterprises, regionally-owned enterprises, cooperatives, foundations, and others. This system increases administrative efficiency and reduces the government's burden but requires strict oversight to prevent tax avoidance.Research findings indicate that tax risk management is not only crucial for mitigating potential financial losses and ensuring legal compliance but also for enhancing tax administration efficiency and optimizing tax strategies. . Furthermore, this study reveals various challenges encountered in the implementation of risk management. </em><em>This research analyzes the effectiveness of preparing fiscal financial statements in minimizing tax risks, focusing on the differences between commercial and fiscal financial statements, particularly regarding the recognition of expenses and the depreciation of fixed assets. Fiscal corrections are necessary to ensure that the reports comply with Law No. 36 of 2008 on Income Tax. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study finds that although the preparation of fiscal corrections has adhered to regulations, there are still several expense components that need to be corrected. These corrections impact the increase in taxable income and the amount of tax owed.

By understanding the factors that influence purchasing decisions, it is expected to increase customer satisfaction and achieve the desired sales target. This study also contributes to the existing literature on consumer behavior in the coffee industry, as well as providing recommendations for further research.Overall, this article emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive analysis of the various factors that influence purchasing decisions, which not only focus on the taste of the product, but also on other elements that can increase the attractiveness and selling value of coffee products in a competitive market.</p> 2025-07-29T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Economic Research and Financial Accounting https://ijerfa.afdifaljournal.com/index.php/ijerfa/article/view/346 Comprative Analysis of Income Tax Article 21 and Article 22 in the Indonesian Tax System: Implication for Compliance and State Revenue 2025-06-11T07:20:35+00:00 Afsha Harnia galih@4dosen.pancabudi.ac.id Aisyah Nurhaliza Arifin galih@dosen.pancabudi.ac.id Nuratikah Nasution galih@dosen.pancabudi.ac.id Samaria Simangunsong galih@dosen.pancabudi.ac.id Silva Nurul Hasanah galih@dosen.pancabudi.ac.id Galih Supraja6 galih@dosen.pancabudi.ac.id <p><em>This research aims to comparatively analyze Income Tax Article (PPh) 21 and Income Tax Article (PPh) 22 within the Indonesian taxation system, and examine their implications for taxpayer compliance and state revenue. PPh Article 21 is a tax on income related to employment, services, or activities received by individual domestic taxpayers, such as salaries, wages, honoraria, allowances, and other payments in any name and form. Meanwhile, PPh Article 22 is a tax levied by certain parties related to the import of goods, the purchase of goods by government treasurers, or the sale of goods by certain industries. The research method employed is a literature review and comparative analysis of applicable tax regulations, taxpayer compliance data, and tax revenue data. The findings indicate that differences in object characteristics, collection mechanisms, and tax rates between PPh Article 21 and PPh Article 22 lead to varied implications. PPh Article 21, with its deduction by employers, tends to have a higher level of compliance due to the withholding tax mechanism which reduces the potential for tax evasion. However, regulatory and calculation complexities can affect taxpayer understanding and compliance. On the other hand, PPh Article 22, which functions as a control and revenue security instrument for certain transactions, plays a strategic role in maintaining fiscal stability. Nevertheless, challenges may arise such as potential economic distortions or administrative burdens for certain business actors. The implications for state revenue show that both types of PPh contribute significantly, albeit with different patterns and challenges.

This study aims to examine the shifting investment behavior of the public resulting from the stability of monetary policy. Using a quantitative-descriptive approach through secondary data analysis from the Indonesia Stock Exchange, online trading platforms, and surveys of retail investors, the findings indicate that interest rate stability encouraged investors to shift their funds from fixed-income instruments to riskier assets such as stocks. The technology, renewable energy, and domestic consumption sectors became the main investment targets, driven by economic optimism and the influence of social media. This phenomenon demonstrates that macroeconomic policy has a substantial impact on the dynamics of the retail capital market.

A quantitative approach was employed, using questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29. The results show that the store atmosphere has no significant effect on purchasing decisions (t = 1.192, sig = 0.236). In contrast, product quality perception (t = 2.758, sig = 0.007), word of mouth (t = 2.928, sig = 0.004), and customer experience (t = 3.339, sig = 0.001) have a significant and positive influence on purchasing decisions. Simultaneously, all four variables jointly have a significant effect on purchasing decisions (F = 11.717, sig = 0.000), with an R² value of 0.324, indicating that 32.4% of the variance in purchasing decisions can be explained by the model.

This research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive and analytical methods, integrating doctrinal legal analysis, a comparative approach, and policy analysis. Data were gathered through an in-depth review of relevant Indonesian legal instruments, including Law No. 2/2020 and Minister of Finance Regulations No. 48/2020, No. 60/2022, and No. 199/PMK.10/2019. Additionally, the study references international guidelines such as the OECD International VAT/GST Guidelines (2017) and the BEPS 2.0 framework to provide comparative and global perspectives. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s implementation of VAT on digital transactions has seen significant progress, particularly through the vendor collection model for foreign digital service providers. This policy is expected to enhance tax compliance and expand the digital tax base. However, the study also identifies several challenges, including administrative feasibility, complexity in tax reporting by digital businesses, and the need for harmonization with international standards. From a policy perspective, VAT on Indonesia’s digital economy is deemed relevant in ensuring fiscal fairness, increasing state revenue, and fostering healthy business competition. The study’s limitation lies in its reliance on secondary documentary data, which may not fully capture the practical dynamics faced by businesses and consumers on the ground. Therefore, future research is recommended to incorporate empirical data through interviews or surveys with digital business actors, tax practitioners, and policymakers, to obtain a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding. Overall, this research makes a significant contribution to academic discourse and public policy related to digital economy taxation in Indonesia and serves as a reference for future tax policy reforms in the rapidly evolving digital era.</em></p> 2025-07-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Economic Research and Financial Accounting https://ijerfa.afdifaljournal.com/index.php/ijerfa/article/view/367 The Effect Of Current Ratio, Debt To Equity Ratio, And Price To Book Value On Financial Performance Of Property And Real Estate Sector Companies Listed On The Indonesia Stock Exchange In 2021-2023 2025-07-09T04:07:58+00:00 Eka Julianti ekaajulianti@gmail.com Rita Friyani ekaajulianti@gmail.com Eko Prasetyo ekaajulianti@gmail.com <p><em>This study examines the influence of the Current Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, and Price to Book Value on the financial performance of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2021 to 2023.

This study uses a quantitative approach through a survey method, with primary data collection from 55 civil servant respondents in 11 sub-districts. Data analysis was carried out using validity, reliability, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics 29. The results of the simultaneous test (F test) showed that the four independent variables together had a significant effect on the financial performance of sub-district governments (F count = 10.638 &gt; F table = 2.56 and Sig = 0.000).

The AIS is used to support the recording of waste purchase transactions on credit, with a structured system starting from weighing, classification, to financial recording. The method used in </em><em>this</em><em> research is descriptive qualitative method, where data is collected through direct observation to the field, as well as collecting documentation and conducting interviews with Gugah Nurani Indonesia staff. The results of the interviews show that the AIS has a positive impact on transparency, accuracy, and customer trust, although there are still challenges such as fluctuations in waste prices and manual recording that has the potential to cause errors. To optimize financial management, it is recommended that Waste Bank Berkah start digitizing records, develop a price conversion automation feature, and strengthen training, standardization of procedures, and internal audits. Thus, the financial management of the Waste Bank is expected to be more efficient, accountable, and sustainable.</em></p> 2025-07-28T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Economic Research and Financial Accounting
