The fourth industrial revolution (IR4.0) has unfurled its wings over all industries, and its positive impact on the modern global economy has already emerged significantly. The need for a real-time, integrated information environment to enhance business operations has motivated companies to employ enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Once implemented, the organization's attention has shifted to the most efficient deployment of the ERP post-system usage. User acceptance of the ERP system during the post-implementation phase could determine the overall system's success or failure since the system benefits reside in the exploitation of the integration capabilities. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of user acceptance of post-ERP system usage in Malaysian organizations by adopting the UTAUT model. The five identified factors comprised of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and behavioural intention. The result suggests that these five factors have a significant positive influence on ERP acceptance among Malaysian ERP users. From a theoretical point of view, the findings open new doors of opportunities by providing new insights into the user's acceptance of ERP in the Malaysian environment. The practical contribution includes recommendations provided to organizations to emphasize the specific factors that increase the effectiveness of the ERP post-implementation phase.

Whilst regional participation across ASEAN induces the liberalization of trade and investment, as well as other forms of economic cooperation, the quality of governance plays a crucial role as it is a key component of sustainability. This study aimed to examine how governance quality factors influenced stock market performance. This study applied the Panel Least Square (PLS) and Panel Cointegration Full-Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) estimations to gauge how quality governance factors impact an integrated ASEAN stock market in the long run. This study utilized data from the ASEAN Exchanges covering the period 2002 to 2020. The findings demonstrated the significant positive influence of voice and accountability, as well as political stability and the lack of violence; meanwhile, rule of law negatively affects the stock market performance. The study also identified a long-term relationship between governance quality and stock market performance. This implies that higher-quality governance improves the stock market performance in an integrated market. Keywords: governance quality, stock market performance, ASEAN exchanges

Various studies conducted on business sustainability have shown that organisations need to become ambidextrous in order to sustain in rapidly changing environments. A number of studies have investigated on numerous organisational ambidexterity antecedents and outcomes. However, very few studies have focused at the employee level. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the variables that determine engagement and ambidexterity among engineers in the SMEs context which were predicted to be determined by person-job fit, person-team fit, and person-organisation fit. The samples were obtained from 106 graduate engineers working in SMEs Engineering Consulting Firms. Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) was used to test the direct and indirect effects of the variables using the Analysis of Momentum Structures (AMOS). Results indicated that only person-job fit influenced employees’ engagement, employees’ engagement influenced employees’ ambidexterity, and employees’ engagement mediated the relationship between person-job fit and employees’ ambidexterity. In summary, the findings of this study could be applied in SMEs for developing and implementing organizational strategies to improve the level of employees’ engagement and employees’ ambidexterity by focusing on person-job fit, person- team fit, and person- organisation fit. Keywords: employees’ engagement, employees’ ambidexterity, engineering

Effective from December 2016, the Malaysian external auditor is required under the revision of the International Standard on Auditing (ISA) to give comments on Key Audit Matters (KAM) in the audit client’s financial statement which indirectly increases the relevancy of ISA 610 “Using the Work of Internal Auditor”. This study aimed to explore the impact of two main aspects under ISA 610 namely “external auditor engagement quality (EX_QUAL)” and “external auditor reliance (EX_RELY)” on internal auditor’s risk judgment performance. The survey of 274 internal auditors in the Malaysian public and private sector found that internal auditors who experienced high EX_QUAL outperform risk judgment as a result of awareness that the judgment made must be reflective of their own competency, independence, work performance and due care. Unfortunately, internal auditors who experienced high EX_RELY did not perform as expected since internal auditor’s anxieties on the bad consequences of full disclosure risk faced by the company. EX_QUAL could be one of monitoring mechanism to improve internal audit’s risk judgment. Furthermore, mitigating action, such as external auditor involvement in internal audit annual risk assessment plan could deter internal auditor bias and increase objectivity, and thus induce a positive impact of EX_RELY on internal auditor’s risk judgment performance.

This study empirically proves that standard policies concerning the format of presenting income statements are in the form of additional information. This is particularly relevant to the reclassification of other comprehensive income and profit attribution in increasing transparency and reducing asymmetry information. This study investigated the effect of reclassified items concerning other comprehensive income and net income attributable to owners on earnings management and the quality of earnings. The attribution of earnings to owners was found to have a negative effect on earnings management, along with a positive effect on earnings quality as measured by the earnings response coefficient net and comprehensive income. It was also shown that earnings management does not mediate the effect to earnings quality. Accordingly, this means that the market has responded positively to the reclassification of other comprehensive income and profit attribution. It also precludes the company from carrying out earnings management through the recognition and realisation of other comprehensive income. Reclassification and attribution through increasing transparency and value relevance could consequently reduce asymmetric information.

Legislature plays an important role to ensure accountability in the budgetary decision-making of the Indonesian local government. The legislature's accountability role in budgetary decision-making concerns the Indonesian local government. Thus, this research investigated the legislature’s accountability role in the budgeting process and institution's budgetary decision-making. It also examined the planning and budgeting documents in the budget policy-making by the legislature from the Institutional perspective. This research used a qualitative approach and selected three (3) local governments in Indonesia as case study sites. The three case study sites selected represented local governments with high, medium and low fiscal capacity. Data were collected using interviews with 19 budget actors from the three case study sites. The findings revealed institutional weaknesses in the form of norms and rules about legislature in their regional decisions. The regional decision-making and discussions or forums on budget spending and financing among the legislature were found to be politically driven and lacked focus on technical matters such as value for money. The findings of this research provide some basis for strengthening the regulation by central government authorities regarding the role of the legislature in decision-making based on the principles of transparency and accountability.

The study examined the impact of external debt on economic growth in the context of developing countries. Since the level of financial integrity plays a vital role in the growth factor, we also investigated the direct impact of financial integrity (FI) management on economic growth as well as the moderating role of FI on the nexus between external debt and economic growth. To achieve the goals, we deployed a newly developed econometric approach, the Method of Moment Quantile Regression (MMQR), considering the quantile in both scale and location due to highly heterogeneous panel data from 1990 to 2020. The empirical estimation of the MMQR approach demonstrated that external debt is counterproductive in all quantiles for economic growth in the context of developing countries. Besides, FI management was insignificant in the bottom to top quantiles. Besides, the results also depicted that external debt works better for economic growth by the presence of FI in upper quantiles than the lower quantiles. The findings indicated that external debt is detrimental to economic growth in developing countries, while financial integrity management supports the debt-growth relationship. The study provides several policy implications. Keywords: external debt, economic growth, MMQR, financial integrity, developing countries
