Research Purposes. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of green accounting in reducing environmental pollution and to examine the extent to which the application of green accounting in Indonesia supported sustainability. Research Method. This study used an interpretive approach that focused on the subjective nature of the social world and tried to understand it. Research Result and Findings. Reporting environmental costs in green accounting will certainly help stakeholders to evaluate environmental conservation and improve environmental management efficiency to support business continuity in the present and in the future. Green accounting had difficulty in measuring the value of costs and benefits of externalities arising from industrial processes. It was not easy to measure the harm that occurs to the people around and the ecological environment caused by air pollution, liquid waste, ammonia tube leaks, nuclear tube leaks, or other externalities. Unfortunately, in practice, often some companies did not report the bad news they face, so reporting environmental costs was not effective.
This study was conducted to examine the effect of whistleblowing system, organizational culture and individual morality on fraud prevention at PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia III (Persero). Numerical analysis of these variables was used in this study, therefore quantitative approach was applied. The population of this study was 65 employees of PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia III (Persero). The sample of this study was determined by the saturation sampling technique (census) in which the sample chosen was the the entire of population. Data were collected by using a questionnaire with Likert scale. Then the data were analyzed with several analyzes such as data quality tests which included validity and reliability tests, descriptive statistical tests, classic assumption tests which included normality tests, multicollinearity tests, heteroscedasticity tests and autocorrelation tests, and multiple linear regression analysis assisted with SPSS 25 program. The results indicated that the whistleblowing system had a positive and significant effect on fraud prevention, organizational culture had a positive and significant effect on fraud prevention, and individual morality had a positive and significant effect on fraud prevention.
Performance measurement in the hospitality sector is not only demanded on financial performance but also expected in the non-financial sector so as to create environment and business goals that are environmentally friendly. Sustainable performance in the hotel sector is expected to provide awareness and demands that hotel managers pay more attention to environmental aspects so as to enhance the hotel's reputation for being environmentally friendly, comfortable with customers, can directly improve services to customers so as to create competitive strategies and strategic alliances for customers. This study aims to determine whether competitive strategies and strategic alliances can play a role in improving sustainable performance. This research was conducted in all 4 and 5-star hotels in Bali Province using questionnaires given to 154 respondents with 125 samples (questionnaire returns). The method used was Structural equation model (SEM). The results showed that the relationship of competitive strategies to sustainable performance had a positive and significant effect, the strategic alliance relationship to sustainable performance had a positive and significant influence as well as the strategic alliance relationship by mediating competitive strategies towards sustainable performance had a positive and significant effect.
The shift in the business paradigm towards a more sustainable one has placed a balance between people, profit and the planet as a corporate culture. However, based on previous empirical studies, very few companies have put sustainability as the soul of their business, especially in the types of industries that are not obliged to report their social responsibility activities. This study aims to compare the quality of the sustainability report based on the GRI G4 indicator for foreign and domestic companies engaged in construction services. The data was taken using a purposive method on construction service companies that published their 2017 sustainability reports and found 30 companies. The quality of the report is compared between the three indicators, namely economic, social and environmental. The results showed that in terms of quality of disclosure, there was no difference between domestic and foreign construction service companies, whether tested per category or tested collectively. The results of this study reinforce the previous finding that companies are still very dependent on the regulatory compliance approach only in implementing sustainability, especially in the construction service industry.
One of the determinants of conservatism is Board of Directors (BoD) characteristics. Several studies have examined the relationship between board characteristics and accounting conservatism. Nonetheless, previous empirical findings show heterogeneous and inconclusive results. This study aims to prove the role of board characteristics, namely board female, board expertise, board overconfidence, and board size in accounting conservatism. This study also examines institutional ownership as moderating variable. This research was conducted on 118 manufacturing companies for three periods, namely 2017-2019. The data analysis technique used is Partial Least Square. The test results prove that board female and board expertise increase accounting conservatism, while board overconfidence reduces conservatism. However, there is no relationship between board size and accounting conservatism. This study also indicates that institutional ownership strengthens the relationship between board females and board expertise to accounting conservatism. Contrary, institutional ownership fails as moderating variable between board size and accounting conservatism relationship. In testing the board overconfidence variable, the percentage of institutional ownership variable cannot be a moderating variable. Nevertheless, the interaction between board overconfidence and the number of institutional investors has a negative effect on accounting conservatism.
