The level of competition is so tight that many companies no longer focus their marketing activities solely on finding new buyers / customers, but on how to maintain and increase customer loyalty. The strategy that is able to bridge between customers and companies, especially in terms of satisfaction and loyalty, is to apply a concept called Customer Relationship Management (CRM). This study aims to determine the effect of CRM both on satisfaction and loyalty partially and to know the indirect effect of CRM on loyalty through customer satisfaction as an intervening variable by drawing a sample of 60 people or customers. Based on the results of testing the coefficient of determination, it is known that the effect of CRM on customer satisfaction is 20.5% and the remaining 79.5% is influenced by other variables which are not addressed in this study. While the test results of the coefficient of determination in the second regression equation show that the CRM variable and customer satisfaction affect the level of customer loyalty by 44.8% and the remaining 55.2% is influenced by other variables which are not raised in this study.

According to prior literature, the reliability of financial statements of these firms concerns mainly lenders in assessing borrower creditworthiness, and Tax Offices in calculating corporate tax. We analyse unlisted firms as they represent 99.9% of Italian firms, consistent with most European countries. We estimate models using factors drawn from the literature which potentially influences both AEM and REM, along with some robustness tests. For AEM, ownership concentration is a positive driver, consistent with the entrenchment hypothesis, and firm leverage is a positive driver, suggesting the use of debt covenant violation avoidance strategies. Quality auditor engagement tends to constrain AEM, while size has a negative impact. However, tax drives AEM and profitability has a positive impact. For REM, ownership concentration has no impact, and leverage has a positive impact. The engagement of Big 4 constrains REM.
