<![CDATA[Islamic social reporting has been recognised as a major concern in Islamic accounting research in Indonesia. However, research on this issue still remains more paucity of evidence. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Islamic governance scores, sharia supervisory board education, cross membership of sharia supervisory boards, and environmental performance on Islamic social reporting. The population used in this study is Sharia Commercial Banks listed on the Financial Services Authoruty (OJK) during 2008-2020. The sampling technique used was purposive to obtain a sample of 150 companies that met the criteria. This study employed multiple regression analysis using the SPSS program to analyze the data. The results of this study showed that Islamic governance score and environmental performance had a positive effect on the disclosure of Islamic social reporting. On the other hand, the result further indicated that the education of the sharia supervisory board and cross-membership of the sharia supervisory board had no effect on the disclosure of the Islamic social reporting disclosure. The results contribute to providing fruitful insights to Islamic banks that Islamic governance score and environmental performance are two crucial factors determining the Islamic social reporting.]]>

<![CDATA[Zakat plays an important role in reducing poverty. This study scrutinizes the influence of individual factors as proxied by attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control, demographic factors as proxied by Islamic educational background and gender, knowledge of zakat, and religiosity on farmers’ compliance in paying agricultural zakat in Ngawi Regency. Primary data were collected through questionnaires. The population in this study is farmers in Ngawi Regency Indonesia. 100 respondents were selected with a sampling technique carried out through purposive sampling. The result of Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) shows that attitude has no significant influence on zakat compliance. On the other hand, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, Islamic educational background, knowledge of zakat, and religiosity have a positive influence on zakat compliance. This study indicates that gender is proven to have a negative influence on zakat compliance. This research contributes to providing valuable insight for zakat institutions to establish zakat collection policies based on individual perspectives.]]>

<![CDATA[During the COVID-19 pandemic, Baitul Maal Wat Tamwil (BMT) in Sukoharjo, a region of Indonesia is consistently contributing to the empowerment of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Hence, how the BMT empowers the MSMEs is a worthy attribute to explore. The current study delves into an in-depth exploration on the strategies and policy innovations carried out by the BMTs as well as to analyse the impact or influence caused by the existence of these strategies. The method used in this research is field research with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation with interviews with various related parties. The results showed that the empowerment strategy carried out by BMT Dana Mulia and BMT Makmur Mandiri was by implementing a restructuring policy in an effort to maintain the stability of the institution's operations. Meanwhile, BMT Bina Ummah Sejahtera has tightened risk mitigation by making efforts to be more careful in conducting financing and deposit transactions, using online media and the three BMTs providing business assistance. The influences that arise with this strategy are providing ease of capital assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic, assisting business development of MSMEs, minimizing the risks faced by MSMEs, and encouraging the spirit of MSMEs in marketing their businesses.]]>

<![CDATA[The emergence of Islamic insurance as a financial solution for Muslim communities, especially in Muslim-majority countries, is an intriguing topic. This study aims to evaluate the financial performance of Sharia-compliant life insurance in Indonesia and its market presence. Specifically, it compares the financial performance of non-Sharia and Sharia life insurance companies using the Early Warning System (EWS) and Risk-Based Capital (RBC). The EWS evaluation measures capital adequacy ratio, claim expense ratio, liquidity ratio, and own retention ratio, while RBC measures solvency ratio. The results of hypothesis testing, using the Mann-Whitney U test, reveal a significant difference between the financial performance of non-Sharia and Sharia life insurance companies based on EWS. However, there is no significant difference between their financial performance based on RBC's solvency ratio. The findings of this study imply that, as a whole, sharia-compliant insurance outperforms its non-sharia counterparts. Despite the relatively small sample size, these results offer a ray of hope for Islamic financial institutions to pursue further growth and development.]]>

<![CDATA[Indonesia is destined to be an agrarian country because of its location on the equator, unfortunately not all farmers are able to access capital for their agricultural businesses while the contribution of the agricultural sector to employment is very high. It is also important to consider that Indonesia is also a country with the largest Muslim population in the world, so there should be a financing scheme in the agricultural sector that is in accordance with sharia compliance. Therefore, Islamic banking should be present to provide capital to farmers who need agricultural financing without violating sharia provisions. Identifying variables that affect Islamic bank financing in the agricultural sector in the long run is the aim of this study so that our findings can be one of the considerations for policy makers for future policies. To reveal the purpose of our research, we consider the factors affecting the agricultural financing of Islamic banks which consist of the risk of agricultural financing, farmer welfare, inflation and economic growth with observations for a decade from 2012 to 2021 on a quarterly basis. By using ARDL estimation, our findings find that in the long run relationship the welfare of farmers has no effect, while the other remaining variables have a significant effect. This study offers valuable implications indicating that the presence of Islamic banking can be considered as a viable financial solution within the agricultural sector.]]>

<![CDATA[Over time, the reduction in foreign ownership in Indonesia has prompted questions about its causes. The country is still perceived to have low corporate governance standards and a high level of political connections. The aim of this study is to investigate whether corporate governance and political connections have an impact on foreign ownership. The study utilized manufacturing company data from 2018 to 2021, comprising 48 companies with 192 observations. The findings of the study indicate that foreign investors tend to decrease their investment in companies with strong corporate governance. The study reveals that a firm with robust corporate governance becomes an attractive target for local investors to acquire ownership. The findings provide evidence of a decrease in the proportion of foreign investors in such companies. Instead, foreign investors continue to view companies with political connections as potential concern for surveillance. This study uses another argument to explain how the structure of foreign ownership in Indonesia uses the property right theory. Policy-making authorities can make policies to support corporate governance arrangements and support to reduce the level of corruption so as to support the investment climate in Indonesia. This research can be used as a new insight to understand how the investment climate is, but has not considered aspects related to environmental and social issues]]>

<![CDATA[The realm of Islamic accounting research places significant importance on Islamic Social Reporting (ISR), recognizing its indispensable role and considerable impact. The objective of this study is to assess the extent of disclosure in ISR by examining the impact of various factors such as the frequency of Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) meetings, the presence of multiple positions held by the SSB members, the educational background of the SSB members, and the Islamicity Performance Index (IPI). This study uses a sample of Islamic banks in Indonesia with selected through purposive sampling method and obtained 154 samples that met the criteria. To test the research hypothesis, panel data regression model analysis was used. The results show that the frequency of SSB Meetings and Zakat Performance Ratio (ZPR) has a positive impact on the disclosure of ISR. The concurrent position of the SSB has no effect on the disclosure of ISR. The educational background of the SSB has no effect on the disclosure of ISR. Several other variables in the IPI also do not affect the disclosure of ISR because high and low financing, income distribution, comparison of director and employee salaries, and income and investment channels are considered not to affect the disclosure of ISR. The findings of this study offer valuable insights suggesting that augmenting the frequency of meetings conducted by the SSB and increasing zakat contributions made by Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia can result in an improved level of disclosure pertaining to ISR by the respective companies.]]>

<![CDATA[For an emerging economy such as Indonesia, income taxes significantly contribute to her revenue generation profile. The efficacy of tax education during taxpayers' educational trajectory stands as a pivotal factor in achieving successful tax revenue collection. The primary objective of this study is to examine the impact of tax education on tax compliance among students from diverse ethnic backgrounds. This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. Open-ended questionnaires were developed, tested, and distributed to students. A total of 372 valid responses were returned and the data was analyzed using the Smart PLS tool. Findings from the analysis revealed a significant effect of tax education on tax compliance across all ethnic groups (Javanese, Sundanese, Batak, Minang, Malay, and Others) with the maximum and minimum effect recorded in the Sundanese (73.5%) and Batak (47.2%) respectively. This study contributes to bridging the research gap in tax education and tax compliance from a multi-ethnic approach in Indonesia. It is recommended that public tax awareness campaigns, targeted at both students and the public in Indonesia be sustained, as this drives an increase in tax compliance across all ethnicities in the medium to long term. This research makes a theoretical contribution by highlighting the significance of tax education as a determining factor. From a policy perspective, this study offers valuable insights to education policymakers, emphasizing the necessity for regular enhancements and adaptations in tax education practices.]]>

<![CDATA[This research departs from the problem of adopting and implementing capital accounting that was born from modernity, which impacts the increasingly marginalized local cultural values of capital accounting practices. In addition, studies on capital accounting based on local wisdom in the context of places of worship (mosques) are rare. This study aims to reveal the local cultural values behind the practice of mosque capital accounting in Gorontalo Indonesia. This study uses an Islamic paradigm with an Islamic ethnomethodological approach. There are five data analysis stages: analysis of charity, knowledge, science, revelation information, and good deeds. The results of the study found that there were three capital accounting practices, namely capital accounting practices sourced from the community, capital accounting practices sourced from the government, and capital accounting practices sourced from private companies. Local cultural values drive the practice of capital accounting in the form of paracaya. This paracaya value is reflected through the actions of mosque administrators who report the income and expenses of the mosque's capital every week. This action is an effort to maintain a sense of trust between donors, worshipers, and the community in managing the mosque capital. The value of paracaya is often expressed by parents in Gorontalo through lumadu "dahayi moputu dila" which means to keep your tongue from breaking. This study concludes that mosque administrators practice capital accounting based on local cultural values in the form of paracaya. This research contributes to presenting capital accounting practices based on the local Gorontalo culture.]]>
