Article Structure

1. Introduction

The Introduction should present the research background, research problems, research objectives, significance of the study, theoretical framework, previous studies, research gap, and novelty. Authors should clearly explain how the study contributes to the advancement of economics, accounting, finance, business, and related interdisciplinary fields.

2. Methodology

The Methodology section should clearly explain:

• Data collection techniques

• Data analysis methods

• Ethical considerations (if applicable)

The methodology should provide sufficient detail to allow the research to be understood and evaluated.

3. Results and Discussion

This section should present the research findings followed by a comprehensive discussion. The discussion should critically analyze the findings using relevant economic theories, accounting standards, financial frameworks, business practices, empirical evidence, and previous scholarly works.

Authors are encouraged to demonstrate:

• Originality of the findings
