Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of material flow cost accounting in improving company sustainability. Material flow cost accounting. This research uses proxies for production costs, factory area, and output or production value. The population used in this research is all goods and consumption companies listed on the IDX for the 2015-2021 period. Through Purposive sampling, the samples obtained were 6 companies in that period, so 42 data were obtained. Data processing in this research was carried out using multiple regressions and moderated regression methods with an absolute difference value approach. This research concludes that MFCA (production costs) negatively and significantly affects company sustainability. This means that reducing production costs to get higher profits will increase the company's sustainability. Meanwhile, MFCA (factory area and output or production value) positively and significantly influences company sustainability. This shows that the wider the company's area and every time there is an increase in production results, the company's sustainability can increase. Besides, green accounting cannot moderate material flow cost accounting on company sustainability.
