Peran Tax Avoidance sebagai Moderasi: Profitabilitas, Intensitas Modal, Ukuran Perusahaan, Solvabilitas

This study investigates the moderating role of Tax Avoidance in relation to profitability, solvency, capital intensity, and firm size. Data was processed using the statistical software SPSS. The results of the analysis indicate that the correlation between Return on Assets (ROA) and Debt Asset Ratio (DAR) exhibits a significant negative association. Firm size demonstrates a significant positive correlation with DAR, while capital intensity also shows a significant positive relationship with DAR. However, the interaction between ROA and Tax Avoidance does not exhibit statistical significance in its relationship with DAR. These findings illustrate that Tax Avoidance does not act as a moderator in the relationship between ROA and DAR. The outcomes of this study offer insights into how these elements can shape a company's financial structure and underscore the importance of considering the interactions among these variables in financial decision-making

Effect of corporate governance in relationship between corporate social responsibility and firm sizes with earnings management

This study aims to empirically examine the influence of corporate social responsibility and firm size on earnings management, as well as how corporate governance influences the relationship between corporate social responsibility and firm size with earning management. The concept of earning management in this study adopted a model developed by Beneish (1999). Beneish implementation of M-Score Model will be modified and adjusted for firms in Indonesia. Beneish M-Score Model is developed to differentiate between manipulator and non-manipulator firms, using financial report element based on 8 ratio index. Agency theory (Jensen dan Meckling, 1976) implies the existence of information asymmetry. Information asymmetry arises when managers are more aware of internal information compared to the stakeholders. Gargouri et al. (2010) shows a positive relationship between corporate social responsibility with earning management, caused by expensive environmental activities. The results of Chih et al. (2008) study shows that companies with a high commitment to corporate social responsibility tend to do earning management. Based on positive accounting theory (Watts dan Zimmerman, 1986), earning management occurs because of political cost motives. Political costs include all costs that must be borne by the company related to government regulations, one of which is the tax burden. Large companies in a tax avoidance effort tend to reduce their profits. Lee and Choi (2002) states that firm size has a negative effect on earning management. In the other hand Rahmani and Mir (2013) states that firm size has a positive effect on earning management. The population in this study is based on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2013-2017, using a purposive sampling method with a specified criteria. The analysis technique uses statistical descriptive and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA)

This study aims to investigate the impact of capital structure, business size, and profitability on firm value. The research population consists of manufacturing firms listed on the IDX between 2017 and 2021, with a total of 270 data points. The sampling method employed was purposeful sampling. Quantitative research data and secondary data sources are categorized. Techniques for descriptive statistical data analysis include the traditional assumption test, multiple regression analysis, the coefficient of determination, and hypothesis testing. The results demonstrated that capital structure and profitability have a positive and statistically significant effect on business value; however, firm size has no effect. This research is limited to manufacturing businesses. Thus the results can only represent some companies listed on the IDX. It is anticipated that future researchers will add and expand the research object and lengthen the research time so that the empirical results are more robust or accurate.
