Pengaruh ESG Disclosure dan Kinerja Lingkungan terhadap Tax Avoidance pada Perusahaan Manufaktur BEI
This study aims to examine the effect of ESG disclosure and environmental performance on tax avoidance in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021-2024 period. This issue is important because tax avoidance may reduce corporate contributions to state revenue, while ESG practices and environmental performance have become increasingly relevant in assessing corporate accountability. The novelty of this study lies in combining ESG disclosure as an internal transparency measure and PROPER rating as a government-based environmental performance measure in the context of Indonesian manufacturing companies. This study employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory-causal design. The data used are secondary data obtained from annual reports, sustainability reports, financial statements, and PROPER ratings. The sample consists of manufacturing companies observed during the 2021-2024 period, selected using purposive sampling. The research instrument includes a documentation sheet and an ESG disclosure checklist. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results show that ESG disclosure has a negative and significant effect on tax avoidance, with a significance value of 0.006; thus, the first hypothesis is accepted. In contrast, environmental performance has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, with a significance value of 0.023; therefore, the second hypothesis is rejected. These findings indicate that ESG transparency may reduce tax avoidance, while environmental performance does not necessarily reflect stronger corporate tax compliance. Keywords: ESG disclosure, environmental performance, ESG reporting, Effective tax rate, Corporate sustainability.

Analisis Persepsi Mahasiswa Akuntansi Terhadap Independensi Auditor
This study aims to analyze accounting students' perceptions of auditor independence. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through an open questionnaire given to 6b semester accounting students as respondents. Data were analyzed using coding techniques including open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The results of the study indicate that students have a good understanding of auditor independence as a mental attitude that is free from influence, objective, honest, and impartial. Auditor independence is considered very important because it is the basis of public trust in financial reports. Student perceptions of the condition of auditor independence in Indonesia indicate that it is generally quite good, but still faces various challenges such as business pressure, conflicts of interest, and long-term relationships with clients. Factors that influence auditor independence include audit fees, client relationships, management pressure, and the provision of non-audit services. Auditor independence can result in decreased public trust, errors in decision-making, and financial losses for users of financial reports. This study also found that professional ethics and auditing learning on campus play an important role in shaping students' understanding of auditor independence. Therefore, ongoing efforts are needed to strengthen professional ethics, improve the quality of auditing education, and enforce regulations to maintain auditor independence in the future. Keywords: auditor independence, student perceptions

INTEGRASI AKUNTANSI LINGKUNGAN DALAM MEWUJUDKAN KEBERLANJUTAN PROGRAM MAKAN BERGIZI GRATIS (MBG) PADA SPPG KALANGSURYA
This study aims to examine how environmental accounting integration can achieve sustainable implementation of the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program at the SPPG Kalangsurya in Karawang Regency. The research method used in this study was qualitative, utilizing interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that practices such as waste sorting, implementing hygiene SOPs, using environmentally friendly food trays, and collaborating with the Environmental Agency reflect sound environmental accounting principles, but environmental costs have not been recorded separately. Although environmental costs have not been recorded separately, the SPPG Kalangsurya recognizes that environmental accounting is not only a compliance tool but also a sustainability strategy that can improve efficiency, reputation, and public trust in the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program. The main challenges for the SPPG Kalangsurya are a lack of understanding of environmental accounting and the absence of a dedicated recording system. However, there are opportunities to achieve long-term business sustainability. Keywords: Environmental Accounting, Business Sustainability, Free Nutritious Meals

Analisis Pengendalian Internal Berbasis COSO pada Pengelolaan Keuangan Gereja Protestan Maluku
This study aims to analyze the implementation of Internal Control Systems (ICS) in the financial management of the Protestant Church of Maluku (GPM) based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework and to position it within the perspective of Accounting Information Systems (AIS). A qualitative approach with an embedded case study design was employed at the Classis and Congregation levels in Ambon. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings indicate that although GPM structurally possesses formal internal control mechanisms, their effectiveness remains limited. The control environment is dominated by trust-based governance and leadership centralization; risk assessment is not systematically documented; control activities are constrained by inadequate segregation of duties and the use of a cash-based single-entry system; and financial reporting relying solely on budget realization reports limits risk-based monitoring. The study recommends transitioning to accrual-based and double-entry accounting systems, strengthening standard operating procedures, and implementing integrated digital monitoring to enhance accountability and organizational sustainability. Keywords: COSO, internal control system, accounting information system, faith-based organization, accountability.

Students’ Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence in Tax Learning
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education has increased rapidly, with many students using AI-based applications independently to support learning. In regulation-based subjects such as taxation, this practice raises concerns related to learning accuracy, relevance to local regulations, and ethical use. This study aims to examine students’ perceptions of AI use in tax learning. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed involving undergraduate accounting and taxation students at the University of Lampung and the Lampung State Polytechnic who had taken taxation courses and used AI as a learning tool. Using purposive sampling, data were collected through an online questionnaire, resulting in 143 valid responses from an estimated eligible population of 809 students. The questionnaire included Likert-scale items and open-ended questions, with qualitative data analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that students perceive AI as a helpful learning support, particularly for understanding complex tax regulations, improving learning efficiency, and supporting independent study. However, concerns remain regarding information accuracy, limited relevance to Indonesian tax regulations, overreliance on AI, and academic integrity. This study concludes that AI can support tax learning when used as a complementary tool, supported by critical use and lecturer guidance.

Data Driven Approach for Detecting Financial Statement Fraud
Financial statement fraud represents a persistent and complex threat to organizational integrity, requiring more advanced analytical tools to detect subtle accounting manipulations. To provide an evidence-based understanding of how data-driven techniques have been utilized in this domain, this study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA framework. The review addresses two research questions: (a) what data-driven approaches have been used to detect financial statement fraud, and (b) what are the characteristics of the data, modelling methods, and evaluation metrics employed in prior studies. A structured search and screening process was executed using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, enabling the selection of relevant peer-reviewed studies from multiple academic databases. The included articles were further examined using meta-analysis techniques to synthesize quantitative evidence where applicable. The findings reveal that financial statement fraud detection has increasingly shifted toward machine learning, deep learning, graph-based analytics, and other advanced data-driven models capable of identifying hidden or non-linear patterns in financial reporting data. The reviewed studies employ diverse data characteristics, including financial ratios, earnings indicators, transactional records, and graph-structured relationships. Overall, this review highlights both the advancements and the methodological challenges within the field, underscoring the need for improved data quality, consistent evaluation practices, and models that balance predictive performance with interpretability for auditing applications. Keywords: Fraud, data-driven, machine learning, anomaly detection, deep learning.

Pengaruh Good Corporate Governance terhadap Kinerja Keuangan dengan CSR Sebagai Variabel Intervening
This study aims to examine the impact of implementing Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles on financial performance, with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure acting as a mediating variable. The research focuses on mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2021–2023. Financial performance is measured using the Return on Assets (ROA) indicator. The audit committee is assessed based on the number of its members, while institutional ownership is evaluated by the percentage of shares owned by institutions relative to the total shares outstanding. CSR disclosure is analysed using the number of items aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. The study population consists of 63 companies, from which 25 were selected using a purposive sampling method based on specific criteria. Data were sourced from annual reports available on the IDX and analysed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method, supported by the WarPLS 8.0 software. The findings reveal that both the audit committee and institutional ownership have a significant positive effect on financial performance. However, CSR disclosure has a significant negative impact on financial performance. Furthermore, the audit committee and institutional ownership significantly and positively influence CSR disclosure. Despite this, CSR disclosure does not mediate the relationship between the audit committee and financial performance, nor between institutional ownership and financial performance. The study underscores the importance of effective corporate governance in enhancing financial outcomes, while also highlighting the need for a more strategic approach to CSR disclosure to create tangible benefits for companies. Keywords: audit committee, institutional ownership, financial performance, corporate social responsibility.

Temuan Audit Dalam Karakteristik Kepala daerah, Karakteristik Daerah, dan Kinerja Keuangan
The complexity and diversity of accountability issues in local financial management, as indicated by audit results, often point to violations of the law and weaknesses in the internal control framework. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of regional head characteristics, regional characteristics, and financial performance on audit findings. Budget realization reports, balance sheets, and audit findings of local governments in Central Sulawesi Province for the period 2018-2023 are the data observed in this study. Data analysis was carried out with the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM PLS) analysis tool with the WarpPLS version 7.0 application. The results of this study indicate that audit findings are significantly influenced by regional characteristics, regional head characteristics, and financial performance. This study suggests that to reduce audit findings, local governments need to create a strong and integrated internal control system. This requires implementing clear financial management practices as well as increasing the capacity of human resources to help understand and apply appropriate control principles.

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Through Government Effectiveness and Control Over Corruption (A Cross-Country Study)
This research is driven by the enormous challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), often hampered by weak governance and rampant corruption in many countries. Therefore, this research aims to determine the impact of controlling corruption and the effectiveness of global governance on achieving SDG 16. The method used in this research is purposive sampling using cross-country quantitative data from 2017 to 2021, with the final sample consisting of 145 countries and a total of 725 observations. Data is collected from various international sources such as the World Bank, Transparency International, Sustainable Development Report, and Human Development Report. Hypotheses were formulated and tested using multiple linear regression analysis using the STATA-17 software program. The research results show that government effectiveness and the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) positively affect achieving SDG 16. Countries that score higher in indicators of government effectiveness and control of corruption tend to make better progress in achieving SDG 16, and vice versa. Therefore, strengthening efforts to achieve SDG 16 requires political reform to strengthen state institutions, increase transparency and accountability, and ensure effective control over anti-corruption.

The Influence of Regional Function Budgets on the Re-Election of Incumbents in Indonesia
This research analyzes the impact of budgeting realization on regional functions on the probability of re-election of incumbents in Indonesia in 2014-2020 with a final sample size of 3,440 observations. Through a probit regression analysis approach and case studies in several regions in Indonesia, this research explores the relationship between the size of budget realization for certain functions in the region and the chance of the incumbent returning in the general election. The results of the research show that there is a significant positive and negative correlation between the realization of budgeting for the functions of education, public facilities, and regional culture and tourism and the level of incumbent re-election. These findings highlight the role of budget realization in influencing public perceptions of incumbent performance and regional head election strategies in maintaining their position. The implication of these findings is the need for a deeper understanding of the dynamics of budget politics at the local level as well as the need to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of public budgets to minimize the potential for misuse for political interests. Researchers are expected to be able to analyze further the factors that can influence the incumbent's re-election.

Population studied consisted of energy sector companies listed on the IDX from 2020 – 2022. Purposive sampling is the method used by this study to find a testable sample using certain criteria. The sample in the study was 33 samples. Multiple linear regression analysis is the method for analyzing the data that has been determined, with software assistance, namely IBM SPSS Statistic 26. This study found that company size has an influence on sustainability disclosure, this is because larger companies tend to disclose sustainability reports to communicate their environmental and social responsibilities, so as to maintain a good reputation. Meanwhile, profitability and leverage have no influence on sustainability disclosure, this is because companies that have high or low profitability and leverage are still required to disclose sustainability.

In Law Number 28 of 2009 on Regional Taxes and Levies, local governments are granted the authority to explore financial resource potentials by establishing new types of taxes and levies not previously regulated, provided they meet the established criteria and reflect the aspirations of the community. Regional taxes, as one of the components of Local Revenue (PAD), are used to finance various regional expenditures, both routine and for development purposes. Regional taxes are expected to be a vital source of financing for government administration and regional development, as well as contribute to the improvement and equitable distribution of community welfare. Regional taxes are divided into two main categories: provincial regional taxes and regency/city regional taxes. This study aims to determine the contribution and growth rate of restaurant taxes in Ambon City. The research method used is descriptive quantitative analysis, particularly in describing the results of calculations of the contribution and growth rate of restaurant taxes in the local revenue of Ambon City. The research object is the Ambon City Regional Revenue Office. This study shows that the contribution of restaurant taxes over the last five years (2020-2024) has fluctuated, with a significant increase in the growth rate in 2022, but a sharp decline in the following year. The study indicates that the Ambon City government has not been able to maintain and increase the contribution of restaurant taxes in the last five years. This is due to the lack of active involvement from officers in collecting taxes and in socializing the sanctions and payment procedures to the community, particularly to restaurant entrepreneurs. Keywords: Restaurant Tax, Contribution, Growth Rate, Local Revenue (PAD)
