The Effect of Financial Statements on Investment Decisions: Case Study of 10 Public Companies

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial statements on investment decisions in public companies in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach through a case study method, this research examines ten companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Data were collected through documentation studies of financial statements and relevant scientific publications. The results show that financial reports that are prepared transparently, accurately, and on time have an important role in building investor confidence. In addition, good financial reports can improve capital allocation efficiency and support company growth. Each company studied revealed that the quality of the financial information presented has a direct impact on investment decisions made by investors, both individual and institutional. This research confirms the importance of financial statements as a strategic communication tool between companies and stakeholders. Thus, financial reports contribute to creating a healthy and sustainable investment climate.
