The effect of voluntary disclosure on financial performance: Empirical study on manufacturing industry in Indonesia

Abstract

The manufacturing sector’s adherence to managing natural resources from the environment still needs to be improved. This study’s objective is to determine how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) influences the financial performance of manufacturing firms featured in the LQ45 Index, as measured by Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM). All manufacturing companies that are included in the LQ45 Index’s population for this study were sampled using the purposive sampling method. This study uses secondary data from the CSRI based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 standard for 2018–2020 and the annual reports of companies in the manufacturing industry sector listed on the LQ45 Index. Moreover, applying a quantitative methodology, descriptive statistical methods, conventional assumption tests, and simple linear regression analysis were applied in this study’s data analysis. The results of the study proved that CSR has a significant effect on ROA but does not affect the ROE and NPM of LQ45 manufacturing companies. In accordance with the signaling theory, CSR disclosure sends a favourable message to outsiders, which stakeholders and shareholders will respond to through changes in business earnings. CSR implementation can establish a positive image for the company, but it can also improve the company’s image in both the commodity and capital markets. Investors will be more attracted to a company with a positive corporate image since a positive corporate image increases consumer loyalty. As consumer loyalty rises, the company’s sales will likewise rise, and its profitability will increase as a result. This paper opens a new research path in corporate social responsibility and financial performance for possible links among variables; a matter that has not been previously explored in Indonesia Manufacturing Public Companies.

Unlocking the Secrets of Profitability: Investigating the Role of Research and Development

“…Another thing that may not have an effect is that the R&D carried out could be more effective in improving the efficiency and productivity of the company because the results of R&D are challenging to measure directly in the short term (Liu et al, 2013;Salimi & Rezaei, 2018). If R&D does not result in significant improvements in the production process or savings in operating costs, it will not significantly increase the company's ROA (Cuandra & Setiawan, 2020;Linawati & Halim, 2017;MeiryaniI et al, 2023). R&D also requires a sizable market to generate significant profits.…”

The moderation role of the audit committee in the relationship of audit reputation and audit tenure with audit quality

“…annual audit with the client, measured by the total number of years (Hasanah & Putri, 2018). The appropriate audit tenure is based on the results of the auditor's performance so that the report's user will eventually receive a signal back from the informality (Meiryani et al, 2022;Meiryani, Huang, Soepriyanto, et al, 2023). This aligns with research (Nurintiati et al, 2017), which shows that tenure positively influences audit quality.…”
