Green Accounting, Intellectual Capital, Firm Size, Good Corporate Governance, Financial PerformanceAbstract
This study examines the effects of green accounting, intellectual capital, and firm size on the financial performance of companies in the energy sector, with a specific focus on the moderating effect of good corporate governance. The study used a sample of energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period from 2021 to 2024. A total of 78 observations were obtained through purposive sampling based on predetermined selection criteria. Panel data regression analysis was conducted using Stata software. The results show that green accounting has a significant negative effect on financial performance, while intellectual capital has a significant positive effect on financial performance. Conversely, firm size and good corporate governance do not have a significant effect on financial performance. The results of the interaction variable test show that good corporate governance moderates the relationship between green accounting and financial performance but does not moderate the relationship between intellectual capital and firm size.
