The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare sector, particularly on hospitals, which faced operational and financial challenges due to increased operational costs and changes in service patterns. This study aims to evaluate the financial performance of hospitals in Jakarta before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis was conducted using financial ratios, including Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM) to measure profitability; Current Ratio and Quick Ratio to measure liquidity; and Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) to measure leverage. This study employed a quantitative descriptive method using secondary data in the form of financial statements from hospitals in Jakarta for the period 2018–2024. The results showed that profitability, liquidity, and leverage ratios experienced significant improvements during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. The Indonesian government's policy of funding COVID-19 patients played a major role in enhancing hospital financial performance during the pandemic. Furthermore, the financial performance of hospitals in Jakarta demonstrated a significant improvement post-pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. These findings provide valuable insights for hospital management and policymakers in formulating financial strategies to enhance the sustainability of hospital operations in the post-pandemic era.

This study examines tax avoidance in Indonesia’s construction sector, focusing on the influence of profitability, capital intensity, and sales growth. Using data from 15 publicly traded construction firms on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2020–2022), multiple linear regression analysis was applied to assess the relationship between these financial factors and tax avoidance, measured by the Effective Tax Rate (ETR). The research utilizes quantitative techniques to examine information from 15 construction firms that are publicly traded on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period of 2020-2022. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data and examine the correlation between profitability, capital intensity, sales growth, and tax avoidance represented by the effective tax rate(ETR). These findings highlight the need for stricter monitoring of asset-intensive firms, as they tend to exploit tax-saving opportunities. Policymakers should evaluate depreciation-related tax benefits to ensure fair tax contributions and introduce enhanced disclosure requirements for high-growth firms. Strengthening regulatory oversight can prevent aggressive tax planning and promote equitable tax compliance. Future research could explore the role of corporate governance and industry-specific tax incentives in shaping tax behavior. Expanding the analysis to other sectors and regions would provide a broader understanding of corporate tax strategies. Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of balancing tax efficiency with regulatory compliance to ensure fiscal sustainability and a fair tax system

This study aims to analyze the impact of investment decisions, funding strategies, and financial performance on firm value in the Indonesian banking sector, while examining the moderating role of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Data were collected from banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2019–2023 through purposive sampling. The analysis was conducted using MRA to examine the relationships between the independent variables (investment decisions, funding strategies, and financial performance), the dependent variable (firm value), and the moderating interactions of GCG. The results show that investment decisions have an effect but are not significant on firm value, while funding strategies and financial performance have a significant influence. The key finding from the moderation analysis reveals that GCG strengthens the relationship between financial performance and firm value. However, GCG fails to moderate the relationship between investment decisions and firm value, as well as between funding strategies and firm value. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of implementing GCG to enhance firm value through optimizing funding strategies and improving financial performance. For practitioners, these findings encourage the integration of GCG principles into financial decision-making. At the same time, for regulators, the results can serve as a basis for formulating policies that support better GCG implementation in the banking sector. For academics, this research provides a foundation for further studies on factors influencing firm value and the role of GCG across various industries
