This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Economic Entity Principle in the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) Kedai Kita, which still relies on a simple financial recording system. The principle emphasizes the importance of separating personal and business finances to ensure that financial statements accurately and objectively reflect the entity's economic condition. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through direct interviews with the business owner to gain an in-depth understanding of the financial management practices implemented. The findings indicate that the application of the Economic Entity Principle at Kedai Kita has not been fully realized, as evidenced by the ongoing mixing of personal and business funds, the absence of a formal bookkeeping system, and inconsistent recording of cash flows and expenditures. The main factors hindering the implementation of this principle include limited accounting literacy, lack of time for bookkeeping, and the absence of a structured accounting system. Nevertheless, the business owner has begun to recognize the importance of separating finances as a foundation for more accountable business management. These findings imply the need for the adoption of simple recording applications, the provision of basic accounting training, and increased understanding among MSME actors regarding the benefits of structured financial statements. This study provides practical contributions for other MSMEs by demonstrating that the implementation of the Economic Entity Principle is a fundamental step in enhancing financial transparency and accountability, as well as strengthening opportunities for access to formal financing.

This research aims to analyze the effect of CEO power and board gender diversity on modern slavery disclosure (MSD) among Indonesia’s top 50 publicly listed companies by market capitalization. The research uses a quantitative approach with secondary data collected from annual and sustainability reports during the 2022–2024 period. The results show that CEO power has a negative and significant effect on MSD, indicating that stronger CEO power will reduce disclosure transparency. Furthermore, gender diversity on the board of commissioners also shows a negative and significant relationship with MSD, indicating that female representation in supervisory roles has not yet contributed into greater social accountability within Indonesian firms. Meanwhile, gender diversity on the board of directors shows no significant effect. These results suggest that internal governance factors such as CEO power and limited female influence in top positions still hinder companies from being transparent about social and ethical issues. In conclusion, stronger regulations and independent oversight are needed to improve companies’ transparency regarding modern slavery practices.

The 17+8 demands voiced by the public reflect the accumulation of disillusionment with various government policies and violations committed, especially by the House of Representatives (DPR). Policies that are considered unfair and detrimental to the public trigger a strong push to carry out reforms that are more democratic and oriented towards the interests of the people. Various factors such as human rights violations, lack of transparency and accountability, economic inequality, and polemics related to official allowances are the main triggers for the birth of these demands. The demands of 17+8 not only contain burdens or criticisms, but also contain short-term and long-term goals that can be the basis for improving governance. This momentum should be seen as a strategic opportunity to strengthen democracy, improve state-citizen relations, and restore public trust. If these demands are taken seriously, the government has the potential to reduce the legitimacy crisis and improve the quality of public services. On the contrary, ignoring such demands can deepen public distrust and worsen political stability. Thus, the demands of 17+8 are an important signal for the need for structural change and a real commitment to realizing a fairer, more transparent, and responsive government.

TJSL/CSR in Indonesia is regulated as a legal obligation (mandatory) for companies engaged in the natural resources sector. Its success depends on the principle of accountability, which requires transparency and responsibility. This normative-juridical study evaluates the application of accountability principles in the mining sector. Normatively, PP 47/2012 requires CSR to be listed as an expense and focused on sustainable development (PPM). However, this regulation is not robust because it does not set a minimum fund allocation or clear program boundaries, allowing for multiple interpretations. Empirically (Sekotong case study), accountability is implemented in a formalistic manner, consisting only of one-way administrative reports without meaningful participation from the affected communities. A significant weakness is apparent when dealing with the increase in illegal gold mining (PETI) in legal concession areas. This situation results in a vacuum of responsibility. Companies can claim environmental damage caused by PETI, so that responsibility does not successfully ensnare corporate negligence in prevention efforts. The CSR accountability structure in Indonesia is weak because it only emphasizes activities that are carried out, not negligence that is overlooked. Regulatory reform is needed so that accountability includes passive responsibility to ensure that TJSL functions as a significant instrument of sustainable development.

This study examines the interrelationship between the implementation of administrative ethics in civil service, the professionalism of State Civil Apparatus (ASN), and the quality of public service delivery at the Provincial Department of Energy and Mineral Resources of Central Kalimantan, employing a qualitative case study approach. Through in-depth interviews, structured observations, and document analysis, the research finds that integrity, transparency, and ethical accountability function not merely as moral norms but as structural foundations that reinforce ASN professionalism in performing service functions, particularly within licensing processes that demand administrative certainty and responsiveness. Empirical findings indicate that professionalism—reflected in technical competence, procedural discipline, and ethical commitment—acts as a catalyst linking ethical values to effective and adaptive public service performance. Nevertheless, the study also identifies structural and cultural impediments, including regulatory inconsistencies, fragmented coordination, and limited training opportunities, all of which hinder the internalization of ethical principles and professional practice within the bureaucracy. Theoretically, the study posits that harmonizing administrative ethics and professionalism is a prerequisite for achieving key indicators of good governance, such as responsiveness, service effectiveness, and institutional accountability. Practically, the study recommends strengthening ethics training, enhancing ASN professional capacity, and advancing managerial reforms grounded in modern governance as strategic efforts to sustainably improve public service quality.

This study examines innovative strategies to strengthen institutional and technological aspects of implementing the e-market retribution system to enhance transparency and accountability in Blitar Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The research employs a qualitative case study approach, utilising in-depth interviews with key informants from the Department of Trade, market managers, traders, and stakeholders, along with secondary data from official documents. The theoretical framework integrates New Public Management, Technology Acceptance Model, and Good Governance principles. Findings reveal that e-market retribution implementation faces both opportunities and challenges in institutional strengthening and technology adoption. Innovative strategies developed include: institutional restructuring through clear role division; capacity-building programs for human resources; technological integration through QRIS digital payment systems; stakeholder engagement through participatory approaches; and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to ensure accountability. The study concludes that successful implementation requires a comprehensive approach combining institutional strengthening, technological readiness, and stakeholder collaboration. This research contributes to the literature on digital transformation in local government revenue management and provides practical recommendations for regions implementing similar innovations

The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of professional accounting ethics in maintaining the quality, transparency, and accountability of corporate financial reporting through a literature review of relevant journals, regulations, and cases, including the Garuda Indonesia case, which illustrates ethical violations in revenue recognition. The findings emphasize that the principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence, confidentiality, and professional behavior serve as fundamental pillars for accountants in producing reliable financial information. Ethical misconduct can lead to declining public trust, weakened corporate governance, and increased legal and reputational risks. Therefore, ethical education, regulatory supervision, strengthened moral awareness, and effective internal control systems are essential to prevent financial reporting manipulation. Professional more than just an normative obligation but a strategic element in safeguarding the credibility of the accounting profession and ensuring economic stability.

The implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is a crucial foundation for maintaining public trust in Indonesia’s Islamic banking sector. Yet, the effectiveness of GCG is often debated because formal practices tend to be technocratic and procedural, lacking deeper internalization of Sharia Ethical values. This study analyzes the application of GCG based on Sharia Ethics at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI), with a case study at KCP Sawangan Sari Plaza. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, data were collected through source triangulation, including in-depth interviews with the Branch Operation and Service Manager (BOSM), customer service officers, and tellers. These interviews were supported by participatory observation and an examination of corporate documents. The findings reveal no significant discrepancy between formal GCG practices and Sharia Ethics at the research site. GCG principles such as Transparency, Accountability, Responsibility, and Fairness are consistently implemented and rooted in ethical values like Amanah (trustworthiness), Shidq (honesty), and ’Adl (justice). A key insight from this study is the shift in employee motivation from fear-based compliance toward value-based compliance. This shows that the integration of GCG and Sharia Ethics is strongly influenced by ethical leadership and the development of a spiritual work culture at the branch level.

This research intends to examine the application of good governance principles in non-formal education services at the Sidoarjo District Education and Culture Office, concentrating on accountability, transparency, participation, and institutional responsiveness. The study is based on the necessity for effective governance to guarantee quality, fairness, and efficiency in educational services reaching broader communities. A case study approach using qualitative methods was utilized, involving key informants like the head of the non-formal education division, managers of training centers, tutors, and students. Data were gathered via in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation, then analyzed thematically to uncover implementation patterns and difficulties. The findings show that accountability has been reinforced through organized program assessments and reporting, whereas transparency has enhanced through improved access to public data. Nonetheless, coordination among agencies and the capacity of human resources continue to be major obstacles. Engagement and reactivity have demonstrated improvement, yet demand enhanced integration of digital systems. The research finds that effective good governance execution depends on the collaboration of policy, technology, and various stakeholders. Suggestions highlight the need for strengthening officials' capabilities and creating cohesive education information systems to foster more responsible and inclusive governance.

This study aims to analyze the management of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) in infrastructure development in Plosokandang Village, Kedungwaru District, Tulungagung Regency. The focus of the study covers three main stages of ADD management, namely planning, implementation, and evaluation, as well as identifying supporting and inhibiting factors in the realization of development. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that the planning stage has implemented participatory principles through the Village Development Planning Deliberation (Musrenbangdes). The community plays an active role in proposing programs, although not all proposals can be realized due to budget limitations. In the implementation stage, infrastructure development proceeds according to the Budget Plan (RAB) and is carried out by the Activity Implementation Team (TPK) with good coordination. Obstacles that arise mainly come from uncertain weather conditions, but can be overcome with technical adjustments. The evaluation stage shows that the entire budget is absorbed 100% without any discrepancy, and all physical activities are achieved according to target. However, community participation in the evaluation is still limited. Supporting factors for success include information transparency, community participation, and accurate priority setting. The main inhibiting factor was the weather, with no administrative or accountability issues identified. Overall, Village Fund Allocation (ADD) management in Plosokandang Village reflects the principles of transparency, accountability, and effective village development.

Abstract. This study aims to determine the effect of Good Governance and Fund Management on Public Trust in the City of Surabaya, especially in the Kemayoran Village community. This study uses a quantitative method with an explanatory approach, where data are obtained through distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents who have interacted with public services. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results of the study indicate that Good Governance and Fund Management simultaneously have a significant effect on Public Trust, as evidenced by the results of the F test with a significance value of <0.05. Partially, the Fund Management variable has a positive and significant effect on Public Trust, while the Good Governance variable has a positive but insignificant effect. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.658 indicates that 65.8% of the variation in Public Trust is explained by these two variables. This finding indicates that transparency and accountability in public budget management are dominant factors in increasing public trust, while the implementation of Good Governance principles has not been fully perceived as effective by the public. Thus, optimizing the quality of fund management is an important strategy to strengthen government legitimacy in the eyes of the public.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) on the financial performance of mining companies listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII70) for the 2020–2024 period, with the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) as a control variable. The findings show that, partially, the Environmental variable has a positive but insignificant effect on ROA, indicating that efforts in energy efficiency, waste management, and emission reduction have not yet been fully reflected in short-term profitability. In contrast, the Social variable has a significant effect on ROA, emphasizing that companies’ engagement in building stakeholder relationships, protecting employee rights, and implementing social responsibility programs contribute substantially to financial performance. The Governance variable also has a significant effect on ROA, highlighting the importance of good governance practices, transparency, and accountability in enhancing profitability. Meanwhile, the control variable DER shows no significant effect on ROA. Simultaneously, ESG performance has a significant effect on ROA, proving that integrated ESG implementation supports the profitability of mining companies. These findings confirm that ESG is not only a compliance measure with sustainability principles but also a long-term business strategy that strengthens companies’ competitiveness and serves as a crucial consideration for investors in making investment decisions.

This study examines the influence of good governance principles on village fund utilization effectiveness in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), we analyze data from 385 village officials across five provinces in Indonesia. The research integrates stewardship theory and agency theory to explain how transparency, accountability, participation, and rule of law affect village fund management performance. Results demonstrate that transparency (β=0.342, p<0.01) and accountability (β=0.287, p<0.01) significantly enhance village fund utilization effectiveness, while participation (β=0.219, p<0.05) shows moderate influence. Rule of law (β=0.156, p>0.05) does not significantly affect fund utilization, suggesting implementation challenges. The model explains 68.4% variance in village fund utilization effectiveness (R²=0.684). This study contributes to governance literature by providing empirical evidence from emerging economies and offers practical implications for policymakers to strengthen village-level financial management through enhanced transparency mechanisms and accountability systems. The findings highlight the critical role of good governance in achieving sustainable rural development goals.

This study analyzes the implementation of the ITIL V4 Service Value System (SVS) in managing information technology services at PT Puskomedia Indonesia Kreatif. The research aims to evaluate the alignment of the company’s service management Practices with ITIL V4 best Practices, focusing on issues related to digital documentation and incident tracking. A qualitative case study approach was used, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation review. The results show that the company has applied several ITIL V4 components, particularly in service delivery and support, collaboration, and responsiveness to customer needs. However, Governance and documentation processes remain mostly manual, and incident tracking lacks digital monitoring, limiting data-driven evaluation. Core Practices such as Incident Management, Service Request Management, and Change Enablement are implemented but have not reached optimal maturity due to the absence of automation, SLA documentation, and structured change records. The study highlights the need for an integrated service desk system, Governance dashboard, and Continual Improvement Register (CIR) to strengthen transparency, accountability, and long-term service quality.

The purpose of this study is to examine and assess how PT BCA applies PSAK 4 and PSAK 65 in the development and presentation of its consolidated financial statements. This study is primarily motivated by the importance of consolidated financial statements as a useful source to offer a comprehensive view of an entity's financial condition, especially when the entity has subsidiaries. This research method can be categorized as descriptive qualitative research, utilizing secondary data sources, including PSAK and BCA's financial statements for the years 2022 to 2023. The findings indicate that BCA has reliably complied with PSAK 4 and PSAK 65 standards. This includes accurately combining the financial statements of its parent company and subsidiaries based on the control principle, eliminating inter-entity transactions, and transparently disclosing the NCI portion of equity. Furthermore, the fair values ​​of assets and liabilities have been combined and assessed in accordance with appropriate standards. In summary, BCA has demonstrated a strong commitment to maintaining accountability, information transparency, and effective corporate governance practices, thereby ensuring its financial statements reliably and accurately reflect the group's financial condition. From this conclusion, it can be stated that BCA has implemented both PSAKs systematically and effectively to increase reporting transparency.

This study conceptually analyzes how blockchain technology reshapes the mechanisms of transparency and trust in global Islamic trade from the perspective of Islamic economics. The digitization of financial systems encourages a shift from trust based on social integrity and human relations, which traditionally form the foundation of muamalah practices, to an algorithmic trust model governed by code. In this context, this study examines how core values such as amanah and 'adl can be supported and even strengthened when economic interactions are increasingly mediated by technology. The research approach employs a qualitative-descriptive method, based on a literature review, with Miles and Huberman's analysis used to interpret the data and combine it with the normative principles of Islamic economics, thereby supporting the substance of Sharia. The main findings of this article show that blockchain has significant potential to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability through distributed ledgers and smart contracts, aligning with the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. However, despite its ability to reduce informational gharar, this technology also gives rise to new uncertainties that are technical, epistemic, and social in nature. Cases such as the DAO hack and the Terra–Luna failure confirm that technical transparency does not automatically lead to substantive justice. As a contribution, this study offers a Digital-Trust Maqāṣidiyyah framework, which positions blockchain as a means to strengthen Sharia ethics through adaptive contracts, Sharia oracles, decentralized arbitration, digital literacy, and Sharia regulatory sandboxes.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategic role of the Green Human Resource Information System (Green HRIS) in bridging the transformation of human resource management with the demands of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, specifically examining how Green HRIS contributes to sustainable HR practices, organizational performance, and digital HR transformation. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this study identifies, evaluates, and synthesizes prior research by conducting a structured search across major academic databases—Scopus, Web of Science, Springer, Elsevier, and Wiley—for publications from 2020 to 2025 that address green HRM, HR digitalization, sustainable HR practices, and ESG integration. The review process includes screening titles, abstracts, and full texts, extracting key data, and categorizing findings into environmental, social, and governance dimensions. The results demonstrate that Green HRIS strengthens ESG implementation by reducing paper usage, lowering carbon emissions, and promoting sustainable HR practices such as digital recruitment and e-learning, while also improving governance through enhanced transparency, accountability, regulatory compliance, and real-time reporting. Empirical evidence indicates that Green HRIS fosters employee engagement, organizational innovation, and the development of green competitive advantages. Practically, the study highlights how organizations, policymakers, and HR managers can utilize Green HRIS to optimize digital transformation and meet ESG requirements, thereby reinforcing legitimacy and long-term competitiveness within the green economy. This research offers originality as one of the first systematic reviews addressing Green HRIS in the ESG era, integrating theories such as the Resource-Based View, Technology Acceptance Model, and organizational sustainability theory, while also mapping trends, best practices, and gaps for future research.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the public sector accounting cycle in the planning, implementation, administration, and evaluation of catfish cultivation programs run by BUMDes Ajoeng Jaya as part of the village food security program. The focus of the research departs from the need to ensure that each stage of the management of the BUMDes program runs according to the principles of public accountability, considering that BUMDes is a strategic entity in the management of village resources to improve the welfare of the community. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach through field observation, in-depth interviews with the management of BUMDes Ajoeng Jaya, and a review of documentation related to catfish farming program activities and financial records. This approach allows researchers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the accounting practices applied as well as the various obstacles that arise during the implementation of food security programs. The results of the study show that the catfish cultivation program has failed due to weak internal supervision, the absence of SOPs, lack of financial recording and reporting, and lack of technical competence of managers. The implementation of the public sector accounting cycle has not been running optimally so that it is not able to support effective control and evaluation of programs. In addition, crop failures are exacerbated by theft by internal parties and the absence of a structured monitoring system throughout the program, which indicates weak governance and internal control. This study has limitations in the form of a small number of informants and a lack of formal documents, so the analysis—especially the financial aspect—cannot be generalized widely. Nevertheless, this study contributes by integrating the evaluation of food security programs through the implementation of the public sector accounting cycle and offering recommendations to improve the accountability, transparency, and sustainability of BUMDes programs.

The rapid growth of online commerce in Indonesia has significantly transformed the way people fulfill their daily needs by providing easier, faster, and more flexible access to goods and services through digital technology. Despite these advantages, the development of e-commerce also presents serious challenges, including rising cases of online fraud, discrepancies between advertised and delivered products, failed transactions, and personal data breaches that threaten consumer privacy. These issues create imbalances in digital contractual relationships, undermining trust and legal certainty for buyers. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principle of fairness for consumers in e-commerce practices in Indonesia, while also identifying regulatory weaknesses and existing dispute resolution mechanisms. Using a normative legal research approach supported by case studies, the study examines the effectiveness of relevant legal frameworks, particularly the Consumer Protection Law (UUPK) and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE). The findings reveal that although these regulations provide a legal basis for consumer protection, their implementation remains inadequate. Weak supervision of online business actors, limited accountability of platform providers in ensuring transaction security, and complex, costly compensation procedures continue to hinder consumer rights protection. These conditions highlight the urgent need to strengthen consumer protection systems that are more adaptive, efficient, and oriented toward public interest. The study emphasizes the importance of improving online dispute resolution mechanisms, enhancing transparency and responsibility of digital platforms, and expanding digital literacy among consumers. Such measures are essential to ensure that fairness in e-commerce is not only guaranteed normatively, but also effectively realized in everyday digital transactions.

This study discusses the status of marriage books as legal and administrative documents, as well as the mechanism for their disposal as State-Owned Goods (BMN) at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Papua Province. The marriage book serves as valid evidence of marriage and plays an important role in population data management. As a document printed using the state budget (APBN), the marriage book is classified as BMN, and its management must comply with regulations. A qualitative approach with an empirical juridical method is used to examine the relationship between legal regulations and their implementation practices. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and literature studies with officials from the Islamic Guidance Division of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Papua. The results indicate that the disposal of marriage books follows the Directorate General of Islamic Guidance Circular Letter No. 5 of 2024 and Ministry of Finance Regulation No. 83/PMK.06/2016. The disposal process is carried out in stages through administrative and physical mechanisms with principles of accountability and transparency. However, in Papua, the process of collecting unused marriage books has not yet reached the physical disposal stage. The disposal of marriage books is a strategic step in realizing good governance.
