https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/817
<p>This paper delineates the intellectual framework of share buyback research through a thorough bibliometric analysis. This research utilizes articles indexed in Scopus and employs co-citation, co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, overlay, and density mapping approaches to identify prevailing topics, prominent authors, institutional networks, and patterns of worldwide collaboration. The findings indicate two principal research streams: a primary cluster based in corporate finance, emphasizing signaling theory, agency issues, governance mechanisms, payout policy, and earnings management; and a secondary cluster originating from operations and supply chain literature, concentrating on buyback contracts and coordination mechanisms. Although they utilize similar language, these streams are theoretically separate, highlighting the transdisciplinary nature of buyback research. The findings indicate that the United States functions as the primary center for academic output and collaboration, with notable contributions from Taiwan, India, France, and Switzerland. This study synthesizes structural trends and theme developments, offering a clear framework for future research that emphasizes prospects for theoretical integration, exploration of developing market situations, and enhancement of cross-disciplinary comprehension of buyback-related phenomena.</p>Loso Judijanto

https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/805
<p>The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in auditing practices has gained attention due to its potential to improve audit quality, efficiency, and fraud detection. This study investigates the factors that influence auditors' perceptions of AI adoption at the Audit Agency of Papua Province (BPK Papua). Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study explores the roles of Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), and Perceived Cyber Risks (PCR) in shaping auditors' attitudes toward AI adoption. Data were collected through a survey of 92 auditors, and the findings reveal that all three factors—PEU, PU, and PCR—significantly affect Audit Practice (Y). The study shows that auditors are more likely to adopt AI if they perceive it as easy to use and useful in enhancing audit performance. However, concerns over cyber risks pose a significant barrier to full AI adoption. The results suggest that AI tools must be user-friendly, demonstrate clear benefits, and address cybersecurity concerns to promote adoption. These findings have important implications for AI developers and audit firms and offer guidance on how to integrate AI effectively into auditing practices. Future research could explore additional factors that influence AI adoption in auditing, including organizational culture and regulatory frameworks.</p>Oktavia FatmalaEntar SutismanSeptyana PrasetianingrumFahrudin Pasolo

https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/804
<p>This study explores the implementation of the Zmart program by BAZNAS Papua as a localized model of productive zakat aimed at improving the welfare of mustahik. Through a qualitative case study involving interviews with beneficiaries, program staff, and zakat experts, the research identifies key mechanisms contributing to program success: provision of in-kind business capital, entrepreneurship training, and consistent mentoring. Findings show that these components collectively enhance income stability, financial literacy, self-confidence, and social integration among mustahik. The study also underscores the importance of accountability mechanisms—such as audits, SiMBA-based digital reporting, and public disclosures—in fostering trust and institutional credibility. Challenges such as limited market access, unstable income, and poor financial record-keeping remain persistent, indicating the need for adaptive and ongoing support. The Zmart program offers a replicable model for zakat institutions operating in socioeconomically constrained regions. Future research should investigate the sustainability of mustahik-to-muzakki transformation and integrate psychological dimensions of empowerment. The study contributes to the discourse on Islamic social finance by presenting a holistic, transparent, and participatory framework for zakat-based empowerment.</p>Muhammad Zain Amirul DjafarMursalam SalimSumartono Sumartono

https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/819
<p>This study examines the impact of risk-sharing mechanisms on the financial performance of Indonesian Islamic banks, with corporate governance serving as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 125 bank employees across various Islamic banking institutions in Indonesia. The research employed a five-point Likert scale and data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The findings show that risk-sharing mechanisms have a positive and significant effect on corporate governance, indicating that profit-and-loss sharing instruments promote transparency, accountability, and ethical management practices. Furthermore, both risk-sharing mechanisms and corporate governance significantly enhance financial performance. Mediation analysis reveals that corporate governance partially mediates the relationship between risk-sharing mechanisms and financial performance, suggesting that stronger governance frameworks amplify the positive effects of risk-sharing practices. These results underline the importance of integrating Sharia-compliant risk-sharing models with robust governance structures to strengthen the sustainability, stability, and competitiveness of Islamic banks in Indonesia.</p>Eri KristantoDahlia Tri AnggrainiIrwan Irawadi BarusMos IndrawatiEko Sudarmanto

https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/821
<p>This study investigates the influence of Fair Value Measurement and Board Effectiveness on Earnings Quality through the mediating role of Corporate Governance in Indonesian public companies. Employing a quantitative approach, the research collected data from 185 firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Data were gathered through structured questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results show that both fair value measurement and board effectiveness have significant positive effects on corporate governance, which in turn has a substantial impact on earnings quality. Corporate governance is also found to mediate the relationship between the independent variables and earnings quality, emphasizing its pivotal role as an institutional bridge that connects accounting transparency and managerial oversight to reporting credibility. The findings contribute to the literature by providing empirical evidence from an emerging market context and offer practical insights for policymakers, regulators, and corporate leaders to strengthen governance mechanisms and fair value disclosure practices. Overall, this study confirms that effective governance and transparent accounting standards are essential for achieving high-quality earnings and sustaining investor trust in Indonesia’s capital market.</p>Loso JudijantoAndrian Khoirul Ummah

2025-11-302025-11-30401849910.58812/esaf.v4i01.821The Role of Inflation, Monetary Policy Interest Rates, and Foreign Portfolio Investment on Stock Market Volatility in ASEAN Countries
https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/795
<p>This study examines the role of inflation, monetary policy interest rates, and foreign portfolio investment (FPI) in driving stock market volatility in ASEAN countries through a systematic literature review (SLR). The review synthesizes empirical evidence from studies conducted between 2000 and 2025, providing insights into how these macroeconomic variables influence stock market behavior in the region. The findings reveal that inflation, particularly when high or volatile, negatively impacts stock market stability by eroding purchasing power and increasing uncertainty. Monetary policy interest rates, especially during periods of tightening, are inversely related to stock market returns, exacerbating volatility. Foreign portfolio investment, while providing liquidity, also introduces risk, with capital inflows and outflows linked to shifts in global economic conditions. The interactions between these variables are complex, often creating feedback loops that amplify stock market fluctuations. The study underscores the need for ASEAN policymakers to balance inflation control and interest rate adjustments to stabilize financial markets, while investors should be mindful of the macroeconomic environment when making decisions. The paper contributes to the broader literature on financial market behavior in emerging economies and suggests avenues for future research to better understand the intricate relationships between these macroeconomic variables.</p>Herningsih Sutri LembongRendra Yuwana Wahyu UtomoRusli AimbuChristie Elvira RumondorVera Lionny LumiAnnita Patricia Carolina Najoan

https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/789
<p>This study aims to compare the effectiveness of financial distress prediction models (Altman Z-Score, Springate, Zmijewski, Taffler, Grover, and Ohlson) for food and beverage companies in Indonesia impacted by multidimensional crises: the COVID-19 pandemic, community activity restrictions (PPKM), and the boycott of pro-Israel products. The research objects include four companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (MAPI, MAPB, PZZA, FAST) that faced operational and financial pressures due to these phenomena. A quantitative method with a causal-comparative design was employed, analyzing secondary financial report data from 2020–2023 through descriptive statistics and predictive analysis. Results revealed variations in model accuracy depending on the crisis context: Springate achieved the highest overall accuracy (75%), attributed to its integration of liquidity, profitability, and leverage variables relevant during the pandemic and PPKM. Meanwhile, Ohlson excelled during the 2023 boycott period (100% accuracy) due to its sensitivity to non-financial factors like reputation and demand shifts. Conversely, Zmijewski (31%) and Grover (44%) underperformed, limited by their inability to capture external dynamics. The implications emphasize the importance of selecting context-specific models—liquidity-focused models (e.g., Taffler) for sudden economic shocks and multifactor probabilistic models (e.g., Ohlson) for geopolitical disruptions. For practitioners, product diversification and cost efficiency are key to resilience, while investors should integrate non-financial risks into decision-making. This study contributes to literature by integrating geopolitical crises into financial distress analysis, though limited by its small sample and historical data. Future research should expand sector coverage and develop hybrid models incorporating qualitative metrics.</p>Ossi FerliAdinda Ayu Tri Kartika MaharaniNabilla Fitria AzzahraNajwa Belia PutriShafira Khairunnisa Novianti

https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/787
<p>The coal mining industry in Indonesia saw notable operational growth from 2020 to 2024, fueled by increasing global demand and rising commodity prices. Despite this growth, fluctuations in firm value—measured by Price to Book Value (PBV)—did not always correspond with operational performance, suggesting a disconnect between market perception and company fundamentals. This study investigates how investment decisions and dividend policies affect firm value in coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with financial performance serving as a mediating factor. Using a quantitative, causal research design, the analysis draws on secondary data from nine companies with consistent dividend payments, covering 36 firm-year observations. Path analysis and the Sobel test were employed to examine direct, indirect, and mediation effects, supported by classical assumption tests to ensure model validity. The research contributes to signaling theory by illustrating the impact of financial strategies on investor perception and firm valuation. Its findings offer practical guidance for managers aiming to enhance firm value through investment and dividend policies, while also helping investors better interpret corporate financial signals.</p>Ida Ayu Budhanda Laksmi Untari
