Introduction

Good corporate management aims to provide adequate protection and treat shareholders and other interested parties fairly. Corporate governance is a system used to direct and control the company's business activities. Corporate governance regulates the duties, rights, and obligations of parties in the organization to the company's life, including shareholders, the board of directors, managers, and all members of non-shareholder stakeholders. In the financing policy, financial managers must consider and analyze the combination of various sources of funds that are economical for the company to finance multiple investment needs and business activities. Sources of funding consist of loan or debt capital and own capital. The use of each type of capital has a different effect on the company's net income. The use of money from loans will reduce net income because they have to pay interest. The amount of interest is used as a tax deduction borne by the company, while the use of own capital whose compensation is in the form of dividend payments taken from net profit after tax. The combination of various sources of funds reflects the financial structure and capital structure of a company. 1 The optimum capital structure is a balance of long-term debt and equity with a minimum average cost of capital. The company's financial performance is one of the factors seen by potential investors to determine stock investment. It becomes imperative for every company to maintain and improve its financial performance to survive and be in demand by investors. The financial statements issued by the company are a reflection of the company's economic performance. 2 The financial report serves as a means of information, a tool for management accountability to the company owner, describing the indicators of the company's success and as material for consideration in decision making (Harahap, 2004).

The company's financial performance is one factor that potential investors see to determine investment shares. 3 It becomes imperative for every company to maintain and improve its financial performance to survive and be in demand by investors. The financial statements issued by the company are a reflection of the company's economic performance. The financial report serves as a means of information, a tool for management accountability to the company owner, describing the indicators of the company's success and as material for consideration in decision making (Harahap, 2004). The higher this ratio means the more efficient the use of own capital by the company's management. 4The increase in this ratio from year to year in the company represents an increase in the company's net profit. The rise in net profit can indicate that the company's value rises because the increase in net income a company is concerned with would cause the stock price to rise, which also means the increase in the company's value. 5

Method

The population of this research is all banking companies that go public and are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2015 – 2019 periods. The total population is 38 banks. At the same time, the sampling technique used in this research is purposive sampling. 6 The criteria for selection in this study are banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015 - 2019. Companies that present and publish financial statements during the 2015 - 2019 research year do not experience losses during 2015 - 2019.

Data Analysis Method

The analytical method used in this research is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as follows:

1. Causality tiered, e.g., corporate governance affects the financial performance and then onwards affects the enterprise value of the banking industry.

2. The variables analyzed have latent variables. They are unobservable, for example, the value of a firm whose indicators are formative, as if they are variables that affect the latent variable. If one hand increases, it does not have to be followed by the rise in the other indicators in one latent variable.

The SEM model in this study is used to analyze the effect of corporate governance and financing decisions on financial performance and firm value, 7 with the following formulation:

The evaluation of the proposed model shows that the assessment of the model on the construct as a whole turns out that there are no critical violations from various criteria. Table 1 above shows that the result value has met the fit criteria so that the SEM model is appropriate to use. 9 After obtaining the overall model is declared fit, the significance test of the effect on the construct is carried out. This test uses the value of Critical Ratio (CR) or Probability (P) on standardized regression weights. The relationship between variables is said to have a significant effect if the P-value is 0.05 (5%). 10 The direct effect analysis to evaluate the effect of each construct on the immediate effect is the coefficient of all coefficient lines with one-pointed arrows on the test results presented. To find out how much influence between variables, an analysis of the direct power and indirect influence and the total effect is carried out. 11 as shows in Table 2.

a. The Effects of Corporate Governance on Financial Performance

SEM analysis shows that corporate governance has a negative and significant effect on financial performance, as shown in table 2. The regression coefficient value is -0.340 with a p-value of 0.019 or less than 0.05. The value of the regression coefficient shows a different direction as hypothesized. 12 It means that considerable corporate governance will burden financial performance, so this research hypothesis is rejected. The results support Purweni Widhianningrum, Nik Amah (2012); Roza Mulyadi (2016), which show that Good Corporate Governance is proxied by the independent board commissioners' size significant adverse effect on financial performance. 13 The research object is the same as this research, namely the banking industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This study shows that a relatively large percentage of independent commissioners will reduce financial performance. Research strengthens the argument that more personnel on the board of commissioners can impact the poorer performance of the company (Yermack, 1996; Jensen, 1993).

b. The Effect of Financing Decision on Financial Performance

SEM analysis shows that the results follow the proposed hypothesis 2; namely, funding decisions have a positive and significant impact on the financial performance of the banking industry. It can be seen in table 2, where the regression coefficient value is 0.214 with a p-value of 0.024 or less than 0.05. 14 The coefficient values indicate the same direction as hypothesized. It means that better funding decisions will improve financial performance, so hypothesis 2 of this study is accepted. The results support Melinda Stefani Harefa (2015) research results, showing that capital structure has a positive and significant effect on financial performance and firm value. 15 This research strengthens the validity of MM's capital structure theory. The addition of debt can increase its ability to earn profits because more funds are available for its operations. The addition of debt results in an additional cost of capital is smaller than the company's benefits. The effect of taxation compensates for the extra cost of capital. 16

c. The Effect of Corporate Governance on Firm Value

SEM analysis shows that corporate governance has a negative and insignificant effect on firm value. It can be seen in table 2, where the regression coefficient value is -0.015 with a p-value of 0.732, which is greater than 0.05. The coefficient value shows a different direction from the hypothesized, so hypothesis 3 of this study is rejected. 17 It means that the corporate governance of the banking industry does not contribute to firm value. The results support Stefan Cristian Gherghina, et al., (2014), who found a lack of a statistically significant relationship between corporate governance ratings and firm value. It means that corporate governance is not a moderating variable of firm value. 18

d. The Effect of Financing Decision on Firm Value

SEM analysis shows that funding decisions have a positive and significant effect on firm value, as shown in table 2, where the regression coefficient value is 0.921 with a p-value of 0.001, which is smaller than 0.05. It means that the right financing decision will increase the value of the company. Therefore, hypothesis 4 of this study is accepted. The results support Mokhamat Ansori, et al., (2010), who found that financing decisions have a positive and significant effect on firm value. This study strengthens the validity of the trade-off theory (Myers, 1984), which emphasizes the principle of benefits and costs of capital. As long as the benefits are greater than the cost of money, the company tends to increase debt for productive investment activities. 19

e. The Effect of Financial Performance on Firm Value

Answering the problem formulation and hypothesis 5 can be observed from the SEM analysis, which shows that financial performance has a positive and no significant effect on firm value. It can be seen in table 21, where the regression coefficient value is 0.001 with a p-value of 0.982, more significant than 0.05. It means that financial performance does not have a substantial effect on firm value. 20 Therefore, this research hypothesis 5 is rejected. The results support Niyanti Anggitasari, et al., (2012) research results, who found that financial performance as proxied by ROA did not significantly affect the firm value as proxied by Tobin's Q. 21

Conclusion

Based on the results of the SEM analysis conducted on 28 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015-2019, the conclusions are as follows:

1. Corporate governance has a negative and significant effect on financial performance. It means that excellent corporate government will burden financial performance. One argument states that more personnel on the board of commissioners can result in the worse version of the company.

2. Financing decisions have a positive and significant impact on the financial performance of the banking industry. It means that better financing decisions will improve financial performance.

3. Corporate governance has an insignificant and adverse effect on firm value. It means that the corporate governance of the banking industry does not contribute to firm value.

4. Financing decisions have a positive and significant effect on firm value. It means that the right financing decision will increase the value of the company.

Financial performance has a positive and insignificant effect on firm value. It means that economic performance is not the only variable that directly affects the value of the company.
