The data were analyzed at the sectoral level of BUMD companies, originally expressed as percentage composition of four types of assets. The original percentage data were then converted into a contingency table format to be utilized for Correspondence Analysis and the Chi-square Test to determine the significance of the relation between various sectors and assets. <strong>Finding/Results:</strong> The study finds a statistically significant relationship between asset types and business sectors, with visual mappings showing that commercial sectors cluster around current assets while public-oriented sectors concentrate on fixed assets. Sectors such as finance, trade, and information emphasize liquidity, whereas construction and health prioritize infrastructure-heavy capital. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Asset structures of BUMDs align with sectoral mandates and business orientations. These findings offer insights for regulators and enterprise managers to better align financial planning with institutional mission and to encourage the use of multivariate visual tools in public finance research.</p> Hery Syaerul Homan, Sani Susanto Copyright (c) 2025 Hery Syaerul Homan dan Sani Susanto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://ojs.ekuitas.ac.id/index.php/REAS/article/view/1078 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700
