Tax compliance is an issue that needs to be resolved by the government to ensure an increase in revenue, so it must develop taxpayer attitudes and awareness towards tax compliance. The purpose of the study was to obtain empirical evidence of the effect of tax knowledge, tax sanctions, and the ability to pay taxes on tax compliance mediated by awareness of paying taxes. The research design uses explanatory causality with the type of hypothesis testing, surveys for data collection, and the data source is primary. The research population is all individual taxpayers (WPOP) who have a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) at the West Jakarta DJP Regional Office in DKI Jakarta Province. The sampling technique is accidental sampling. The research sample is 130 taxpayers (WPOP). The unit of analysis is individual. The time horizon is a cross-section--data analysis using path analysis. The results showed that knowledge of taxation, tax sanctions, and ability to pay taxes partially affected the awareness of paying taxes; knowledge of taxation, tax sanctions, and ability to pay taxes partially affects tax compliance. The research findings show that during the COVID-19 pandemic, taxpayers are pretty aware of paying taxes to comply with tax law regulations according to their abilities by functioning as a mediator to improve tax compliance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created turbulence in the healthcare industry, resulting in a decline in financial performance, planning, control, and systems. This has caused managers to perform specific actions related to budgeting for their benefit, resulting in budgetary slack and affecting hospital performance, which is influenced by environmental factors and organizational conditions. Therefore, this research aimed to obtain empirical evidence of the mediating role of management control systems and budgetary slack on the effect of environmental uncertainty on hospital performance. The method used was an explanatory causality approach, a primary data source, a survey data collection technique, and a research sample consisting of hospital managers. The simple random sampling technique was employed, using an individual unit of analysis, a cross-sectional time horizon, and path analysis to evaluate the data. Subsequently, the results showed that environmental uncertainty positively affects management system control and budgetary slack. The research also revealed the positive influence of management system control on budgetary slack and hospital performance and fiscal margin on hospital performance. Furthermore, the control process and budgetary slack as mediating actions indicated that budgeting is pessimistic for goal congruence, making hospital performance efficient but ineffective.   Received: 25 October 2021 / Accepted: 19 January 2022 / Published: 5 March 2022

The research attempts to reveal, in explanatory causality, the effect of the use of ac- counting information on the belief revision of stock selection for the security prospects in Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data were collected using survey on investment managers with individual unit analysis, through simple random sampling. They were analyzed using structural equation model (SEM). The result shows that there is posi- tive effect of the usefulness of accounting information on belief revision and return preferences; there is positive effect of the usefull of price information on belief revision and return preferences; there is positive effect of systematis risk on the usefulness of price information, and there is positive effect of belief revision on return preferences. This result also indicates negative effect of the usefulness of accounting information on the unsystematic risk; the negative effect of systematic risk on belief revision, as well as the negative effect of unsystematic risk on belief revision. Variables of unsystematic risk and belief revision are a mediating variable because it is increasing the effect and the relationships among variables. Yet, the use of price information is as a mediating because it lowers the effect between variables.The study also shows that accounting information is very useful because it contains value, relevan, reliabel, comparative information and has prospect in the future in decision making. Investment managers shlod be sophisticated, rational, prudent, and have risk preferences that can make a positive contribution in the advisory to investors.
