Taufiq Akbar — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Firm size is still an interesting topic regarding its role in moderating factors that affect share prices. Therefore, the goal of this study is to determine how firm size affects the relationship of profitability, as measured by Gross Profit Margin (GPM), Operating Profit Margin (OPM), and Net Profit Margin (NPM), on share prices of manufacturing companies in the food and beverage sector from 2016 to 2019. Based on the purposive sample technique, 40 observations from 10 companies were chosen. AMOS 24 software was used to do the investigation using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method. In the initial model, it is clear from this analysis that OPM and Company Size significantly affected stock prices. At the same time, there is no significant effect of GPM and NPM on share prices. The second model demonstrates that firm size can moderate the relationship between GPM and OPM on share prices. However, this study cannot prove that firm size can moderate the effect of NPM on share prices.

Adaptation to changes based on information and communication technology (ICT) causes obstacles and community preparedness for the 5.0 age, also known as society 5.0. This necessitates the digital revolution of all disciplines, including taxation. Government efforts to promote taxpayer compliance include creating a contemporary tax administration system encompassing organizational structure, business processes, information and communication technology, human resource management, and applying good governance. In addition to the tax administration system, taxpayer knowledge also influences the level of taxpayer compliance. This study's objective is to investigate the use of ICT in a modern tax administration system to enhance taxpayer compliance. The main theory in this research is positive accounting theory which was developed by Watt & Zimmerman in 1986. This study employs a qualitative approach and descriptive methodologies. This study demonstrates that the incorporation of ICT is a component of the modernization of the tax administration system. Application of the e-tax system, which comprises E-Registration, E-SPT, E-Filing, E-Payment, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Chatbots, and Biometric Identification, can constitute the use of ICT in the tax administration system. Ease of service, particularly in filling out SPT electronically, or e-SPT, is the method for boosting taxpayer compliance with the modernization of the tax administration system utilizing ICT.

Frank Mwombeki — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

External audit opinions (EAO) and Audit committees (AC) have been studied in different contexts, yet the link between them and the management of financial resources, especially in government entities in Tanzania, has empirically not been captured. This paper examined the influence of EAO and AC on managing financial resources taking Tanzania government entities as a reference. It uses resources dependency theory to explain the main topic. Data were collected on 230 government entities from Controller and Auditor General (CAG) reports and audited financial statements for 2014/15 to 2019/20. Descriptive statistics and the Fixed effect technique were used to analyze data. The results show that unqualified audit opinion occurred most among public entities. Specifically, the qualified audit opinion occurred most in LGAs. Also, a significant frequency of AC weaknesses appeared in LGAs and Public BICA.Moreover, the estimation results show that audit report positively and significantly influences financial resource management (FRM), whereas AC weakness has a negative relationship with FRM. Therefore, the President’s office and the Parliament should emphasize the management of resources strategies in public entities, especially LGAs. This paper will add knowledge on EAO and AC as tools for financial resources management in government entities.

Audit firms should also pay attention to sufficient audit tenure, short enough or too long, to produce good audit quality.
