Carbon Accounting and Climate Risk Reporting: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Review

2026-02-15T07:11:55+00:00

The increasing urgency of climate change mitigation has significantly elevated the importance of carbon accounting and climate risk reporting in both academic research and corporate practice. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric review of scholarly publications on carbon accounting and climate risk reporting to map the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and emerging research trends in the field. Using data extracted from the Scopus database, this review analyzes publications over the period 2000–2024. Bibliometric techniques, including performance analysis and science mapping (co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence analysis), are employed to identify influential authors, journals, institutions, and countries, as well as dominant and emerging research themes. The findings reveal a substantial growth in publications after the Paris Agreement (2015), reflecting increased global attention to climate-related financial disclosure, carbon assurance, ESG reporting, and sustainability governance. The intellectual structure of the field is primarily clustered around four major themes: (1) carbon disclosure and reporting quality, (2) assurance and verification mechanisms, (3) carbon management and performance measurement, and (4) climate risk, financial stability, and regulatory frameworks. Recent studies increasingly integrate climate risk reporting with financial performance, investor perception, and sustainable finance. This review contributes by providing a structured synthesis of the literature, highlighting research gaps, and proposing a future research agenda, particularly in relation to mandatory disclosure regimes, digitalization in carbon accounting, and the harmonization of global reporting standards. The results offer valuable insights for academics, policymakers, regulators, and practitioners seeking to enhance transparency, accountability, and decision-usefulness in climate-related financial reporting.

Analysis of Capital Structure, Liquidity and Firm Size on Financial Performance and Firm Value in Technological Sector

2026-02-19T07:47:13+00:00

Indonesia’s technology industry is experiencing strong growth prospects, supported by solid fundamentals and the rapid expansion of fintech infrastructure. The digital economy’s Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% during 2024–2030, driven by continuous innovation in e-commerce, increasing digital adoption through QRIS, and the strengthening of technology-based financial ecosystems. This study aims to examine the effect of capital structure, liquidity, and firm size on financial performance and firm value in the technology sector. The research employs secondary data collected through a purposive sampling technique, resulting in a sample of 15 companies. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS. The results indicate that (1) capital structure, liquidity, and firm size have a negative and insignificant effect on financial performance, and (2) capital structure, liquidity, firm size, and financial performance have a positive but insignificant effect on firm value. These findings suggest that internal financial characteristics have not yet demonstrated a statistically significant role in determining financial performance and firm value within Indonesia’s technology sector.

Capital Structure, Investment Opportunity Set, and Corporate Social Responsibility as Determinants of Firm Value in Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises

2026-02-20T03:24:54+00:00

This study examines the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Investment Opportunity Set (IOS), and Capital Structure on the firm value of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018–2022 period. Firm value represents investors’ assessment of a company’s future prospects and sustainability, particularly for SOEs that carry both economic and social responsibilities. This research adopts a quantitative approach with a causal research design, utilizing secondary data derived from published financial and annual reports. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate both the measurement and structural models. The findings reveal that the Investment Opportunity Set (IOS) has a positive and significant effect on firm value, indicating that growth opportunities and future investment prospects are strongly considered by investors in valuing SOEs. In contrast, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Capital Structure do not show a significant direct effect on firm value. These results suggest that market participants place greater emphasis on growth potential rather than on leverage decisions or CSR disclosures in assessing SOE performance. The model explains a substantial proportion of the variance in firm value, indicating that IOS, CSR, and Capital Structure jointly contribute to explaining firm valuation, although other factors beyond the model also play a role. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the determinants of firm value in Indonesian SOEs, highlighting the dominant role of growth opportunities in shaping market perception. The findings offer practical implications for policymakers and SOE management in formulating strategic financial and investment policies to enhance firm value.
