This study aims to analyze the application of accounting information systems in cash receipts and expenditures and assess their contribution to the effectiveness of internal control at the Sekoto Putro Showroom in Kediri. The research methodology employed is a qualitative approach, with data gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that the current accounting information system is still manual and lacks standard operating procedures (SOPs). The process of cash receipt and disbursement is managed by the finance department under the direct supervision of the owner, who also functions as the primary controller. The owner’s consent is required for all large transactions, and internal control is implemented informally through cash checks and transaction authorizations. However, there are notable weaknesses, including the absence of a clear separation of duties and a lack of a well-documented recording and authorization system. These weaknesses pose risks to the efficiency and reliability of financial management and internal control. Consequently, this study recommends the implementation of a computer-based accounting system, the creation of written SOPs, and a more defined separation of financial duties. Such changes are expected to enhance the effectiveness of internal control, improve operational efficiency, ensure more accurate record-keeping, and minimize the risk of financial losses in showroom cash management. By transitioning to a formalized and computerized system, the showroom can streamline its processes and safeguard its financial resources, ensuring long-term sustainability and growth. This research highlights the need for modernizing accounting practices to foster better financial governance and strengthen internal controls in small to medium-sized businesses.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Accounting Conservatism, Corporate Governance, and Financial Distress on Tax Aggressiveness in non-cyclical consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019 to 2023. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data in the form of annual financial reports of sample companies. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 14 companies that met the research criteria with a total of 70 observations over five years. The analysis method used is panel data regression, and testing was conducted using E-Views 12 software. The main objective of this study is to determine the extent to which conservatism practices in financial reporting, corporate governance, and the company's financial condition (in the context of financial distress) can influence the company's tendency to engage in tax aggressiveness, namely efforts to minimize the tax burden legally but aggressively. The results of the study indicate that simultaneously, the three independent variables—accounting conservatism, corporate governance, and financial distress—have a significant influence on tax aggressiveness. However, only corporate governance (as proxied by institutional ownership) and financial distress were found to have a significant influence on tax aggressiveness. In contrast, accounting conservatism and corporate governance, as proxied by managerial ownership, did not show a significant influence. These findings suggest that companies with high institutional ownership tend to be better able to control aggressive tax management practices, while financial distress encourages management to seek tax efficiency measures as a survival strategy. This research contributes to the interests of regulators and stakeholders in understanding the factors influencing tax aggressiveness in vital industrial sectors such as non-cyclical consumer goods.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), intellectual capital, and leverage on firm value in technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period. GCG is measured through three indicators: managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and the presence of an audit committee. Intellectual capital is measured using the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC™) method, while leverage is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER). Firm value as the dependent variable is measured using the Tobin's Q ratio. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from annual reports and financial statements of companies accessed through the official IDX website and each company's website. A purposive sampling technique was used to determine the sample, and eight companies were obtained with a total of 32 observation data over a four-year period. The results show that leverage has a significant effect on firm value, indicating that appropriate and proportional debt structure management is a key factor in increasing the value of companies in the technology sector. Meanwhile, managerial ownership, institutional ownership, the presence of an audit committee, and intellectual capital did not show a significant effect on firm value. This suggests that, in the technology sector, external financing strategies play a greater role than internal company factors such as ownership structure and intangible assets. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for company management and investors in formulating financing policies and managing knowledge-based resources.  

Based on the financial performance analysis of PT. Gudang Garam Tbk (GGRM) during the 2020–2023 period, the company faced significant challenges that impacted its financial condition. One of the main factors affecting the company's performance is the increase in tobacco excise duties, which has affected the cost structure and selling prices of its cigarette products. Additionally, the increasing regulatory pressure and changes in consumer behavior have posed unavoidable challenges. The decline in profitability and liquidity ratios, such as Return on Assets (ROA) and Current Ratio (CR), indicates the negative impact of these external conditions on the company’s ability to generate profit and meet short-term obligations. This decline suggests that the company is struggling to balance income and operational costs. The fluctuating solvency ratio also raises concern. Although the company manages to maintain a balance between debt and equity, these fluctuations show challenges in managing long-term assets and liabilities. Dependence on debt and rising operational costs pose risks to the company's financial stability. These fluctuations affect the company's ability to maintain liquidity and solvency in an increasingly competitive market. Trend analysis from the financial statements indicates that the company needs to strengthen its adaptation strategies and risk management to face the growing market challenges. GGRM must focus on product innovation and marketing strategies that can attract new customers while retaining existing ones. Furthermore, the company must adapt to changing regulations and evolving consumer trends. The results of this study provide important insights for stakeholders regarding the financial condition of the tobacco industry. In this challenging situation, GGRM must continue to develop more adaptive strategies to survive and thrive amidst the dynamic market and increasingly stringent regulations.

This research investigates the strategic role of the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) of Cirebon City in fostering economic independence among mustahik (zakat recipients) through productive zakat programs that incorporate digital technology. The focus of this study is to explore how BAZNAS' empowerment initiatives go beyond simply providing capital by integrating structured business mentoring and facilitating digital transformation to stimulate entrepreneurial progress. By employing a qualitative approach with a case study framework, the research examines the real impact of BAZNAS' programs on the livelihoods of mustahik. Data for the study were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 12 mustahik participants, program coordinators from BAZNAS, and local field facilitators. Additionally, observations during entrepreneurship workshops and analysis of official documentation provided supplementary data to strengthen the research findings. The study reveals three key outcomes: increased access to business capital for productive ventures, a growing adoption of digital tools in the operations of micro-enterprises, and enhanced financial independence achieved through business development. The findings show that BAZNAS Cirebon City has effectively contributed to improving mustahik's business management skills, expanding their access to digital markets, and supporting sustainable entrepreneurship. These efforts align with the broader goal of zakat-based empowerment, especially in the context of digitalization. The study emphasizes that the integration of digital tools is vital to empower mustahik and increase their productivity, as it enhances their ability to reach broader markets and manage their businesses more efficiently. Furthermore, the research offers practical recommendations aimed at expanding digital literacy among mustahik, promoting technology-based entrepreneurship, and improving the delivery of digital financial services within zakat distribution programs. These recommendations seek to enhance the overall effectiveness of zakat-based empowerment initiatives in the digital age.

This community service activity was carried out with the aim of increasing the capacity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Panda Village, Palibelo District, Bima Regency, particularly in the culinary MSME sector in terms of preparing digital-based financial reports. MSMEs often face obstacles in maintaining structured financial records, so intervention in the form of appropriate guidance and training is needed. The solution offered in this activity is the use of the General Accounting (AKU) application which is specifically designed to facilitate digital business financial recording. The community service activity was carried out through three main stages, namely: (1) an initial survey to identify the needs and level of understanding of participants regarding financial reports; (2) direct training and mentoring related to the use of the AKU application, which included an introduction to the application features, practice recording transactions, and simulation of creating financial reports; and (3) evaluation of the results of the activity to assess the effectiveness of the training. The results of this activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of preparing MSME financial reports. Before the training, only around 20% of participants had a basic understanding of financial recording. After the training, the level of understanding increased to 80%. Furthermore, 100% of participants were able to operate the AKU application effectively, understand its features, and successfully apply it to record transactions and prepare financial reports for their respective businesses. Thus, this activity has had a positive impact on the digital financial literacy of MSMEs and made a real contribution to supporting more professional and sustainable business management. It is hoped that this training can serve as a model for similar programs in other regions.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of stock price fluctuations in manufacturing companies, which reflect market instability, both internal and external to the company. These volatile stock price changes create uncertainty for investors, particularly when financial performance indicators such as Return on Assets (ROA), Current Ratio (CR), and Net Profit Margin (NPM) show varying results across companies and time periods. Strong financial performance is usually a positive signal for investors, but inconsistencies in these indicators raise doubts in investment decision-making. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of ROA, CR, and NPM on stock prices in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2021 to 2024. This study uses a quantitative approach with a causal research type, where the data used are secondary data obtained from the companies' annual financial reports. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with certain criteria, resulting in a sample of 85 companies. With an observation period of four years, a total of 340 observations were analyzed. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 30 software. The results of the analysis indicate that, partially, ROA and CR have a significant influence on stock prices. This means that increasing the efficiency of asset use and the company's ability to meet short-term obligations are important factors considered by investors. However, NPM does not have a significant influence partially on stock prices. Nevertheless, all three variables simultaneously have a significant influence on stock prices. This finding has important implications for company management, namely that increasing asset efficiency and optimal liquidity management can strengthen a company's attractiveness to investors by improving credible financial performance.

Food and beverage companies play a vital role in the Indonesian economy, despite facing various challenges such as fluctuating raw material prices and intense market competition. Return on Assets (ROA) is used as an indicator to assess a company's profitability performance, which is crucial for determining the extent to which a company can generate profits from its assets. This study aims to analyze the effect of three financial variables, namely the current ratio (CR), debt to equity ratio (DER), and working capital turnover (WCT), on return on assets in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020-2024 period. The approach used in this study is a quantitative approach with data analysis techniques that include classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and coefficient of determination tests. The sample used in this study was 31 food and beverage companies selected using purposive sampling techniques based on certain criteria. The results of the study indicate that (1) debt to equity ratio and working capital turnover partially have a significant effect on return on assets, while the current ratio does not have a significant effect on return on assets. (2) Simultaneously, the current ratio, debt to equity ratio, and working capital turnover have a significant effect on return on assets in food and beverage companies listed on the IDX. The findings of this study state that the DER and WCT variables have a strong influence on ROA, which means that both are important factors in improving the profitability performance of companies in the food and beverage sector. Thus, the results of this study can provide insight for company managers and investors in making decisions related to financial management to maximize company profitability.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have an important contribution in supporting the national economy, especially in terms of job creation and strengthening the local economy. However, most MSMEs still face challenges in compiling financial statements that are in accordance with applicable accounting standards. This study aims to analyze the extent to which the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK-EMKM) has been implemented by MSME actors, as well as identify the obstacles faced in the process. The research approach used is qualitative descriptive, with data collection techniques through interviews, direct observation, and document review. The findings of the study show that the level of understanding of MSME actors towards SAK-EMKM is still low, and the implementation of these standards is not evenly distributed. The main causative factors include limited accounting knowledge, lack of professional assistance, and lack of access to technical training. In addition, most MSMEs still rely on manual recording without referring to correct accounting principles, making it difficult in the audit process or applying for loans to financial institutions. Another obstacle is the lack of digital literacy in financial management, as well as the assumption that the preparation of financial statements is not a top priority. In fact, well-structured financial statements can be an important tool in business decision-making and open access to funding. This study recommends the importance of collaboration between the government, academics, and financial institutions to provide training, mentoring, and a simple reporting system that is in accordance with the characteristics of MSMEs. This effort is expected to increase the awareness and ability of MSMEs to manage finances in an accountable and transparent manner, as well as support business growth and sustainability in the long term.

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, financial technology, and financial management on the financial performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Gresik Regency. The background of this study is based on the importance of strengthening the financial aspects of MSMEs as a foundation in facing the challenges of competition and economic uncertainty. The method used is a quantitative approach by distributing structured questionnaires to 96 MSMEs selected through a purposive sampling technique. The collected data were then analyzed using SPSS version 26 software to examine the relationships and influences between variables. The results show that financial literacy has a positive and significant influence on the financial performance of MSMEs. This means that the higher the level of understanding of MSMEs regarding financial management, the better the financial performance achieved. Similarly, the use of financial technology has also been shown to have a significant positive effect. The use of digital financial services such as mobile banking, e-wallets, and digital bookkeeping applications can help MSMEs simplify transactions, financial recording, and access to financing, which ultimately improves efficiency and business results. Meanwhile, the financial management variable shows a moderate influence on financial performance. This indicates that financial planning, recording, and control practices in some MSMEs are still suboptimal and need to be improved to contribute more significantly to business performance. Overall, these findings underscore the importance of improving financial literacy and adopting financial technology as key strategies for strengthening MSME performance. This research provides practical recommendations for MSMEs and stakeholders to enhance their financial management capacity to encourage sustainable business growth in the digital era.

Internal control plays a crucial role in supporting the achievement of an organization's goals. In general, internal control provides significant benefits in securing organizational assets, improving the reliability and accuracy of financial and operational information, and ensuring compliance with applicable policies, regulations, and laws. With effective internal control, an organization can protect its resources from the risk of misuse, fraud, or waste. This research is a quantitative study using multiple regression analysis. The population in this study was all 80 employees of the West Aceh Inspectorate. The number of samples used was calculated using the Slovin formula and random sampling technique, resulting in 45 people as research samples. The quantitative analysis in this study was conducted using the Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 26 computer program, which allows for rapid analysis and produces more accurate output. The results of the study indicate that internal audit has a partial significant influence on the effectiveness of internal control at the West Aceh Inspectorate. In addition, the accounting information system also has a partial significant influence on the effectiveness of internal control at the West Aceh Inspectorate. Overall, both internal audit and accounting information systems significantly influence the effectiveness of internal control at the West Aceh Inspectorate. This study underscores the importance of both factors in supporting the achievement of organizational goals and better resource management. Overall, both internal audit and accounting information systems significantly influence the effectiveness of internal control at the West Aceh Inspectorate. This study underscores the importance of both factors in supporting the achievement of organizational goals and more effective and efficient resource management.

This study aims to analyze the influence of technological literacy, accounting information system maturity, and technology-based auditing on cyber risk in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. The background of this research is based on the increasing adoption of digital technology by MSMEs, particularly in the management of financial information and business operations. However, this digital transformation has not been fully matched by system readiness or human resource competency, creating the potential for significant digital threats, including cyber risks that can impact business continuity. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 90 MSME respondents who have utilized digital accounting systems in their business activities. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the latest version of SPSS software. The results show that technological literacy and accounting information system maturity have a negative and significant effect on cyber risk. This means that the higher the level of technological literacy and the more mature the accounting information system implemented, the lower the level of cyber risk faced by MSMEs. On the other hand, technology-based audits did not show a significant impact on cyber risk, indicating that the effectiveness of audits using a technology approach is still suboptimal in the context of MSMEs. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 52.3% indicates that the variation in cyber risk can be explained by the three independent variables. This finding has practical implications for MSMEs and policymakers, namely the importance of strengthening technology and information systems capacity as a cyber risk mitigation strategy. Furthermore, there is a need to improve understanding and implement technology-based audits in a more structured manner to have a more significant impact on MSME digital security.

This community service program aims to improve the capacity of 25 raw cassava chip MSMEs in Solok Regency through holistic training that integrates managerial, collaborative, and spiritual aspects. The activities are designed with the real needs of business actors in mind, both in terms of technical business management skills and strengthening business ethics values. The training is conducted in a classical manner through the delivery of entrepreneurship and financial management materials covering basic business management concepts, simple marketing strategies, and cash flow management. In addition, participants participate in group simulations and ice-breaking games to foster a spirit of collaboration and build trust among business actors. Assistance in financial recording practices is carried out using the financial records application v1.1, which is designed to facilitate recording daily transactions, tracking production costs, and simple profit and loss analysis. A special contemplation session is also held to foster awareness of ethics and spirituality in entrepreneurship, including the importance of honesty, social responsibility, and sincere intentions in running a business. The program is evaluated through a 20-question digital quiz taken by all participants. The evaluation results show a significant increase in the understanding of basic management concepts, cash flow recording skills, and a responsible attitude in managing the business. These findings confirm that a values-based training approach combined with hands-on practice can effectively strengthen the foundations of MSME sustainability, both in terms of operational performance and moral resilience. Given the positive results, this program is recommended for replication in other regions with similar business characteristics. Continued support from local governments, educational institutions, and business partners is essential to expand the program's impact, ensure business sustainability, and foster competitive and integrated community-based economic growth.

This study investigates the correlation between mental health and turnover intention among working students at STIE IBMI Medan who fulfill dual roles as both students and employees. These individuals are particularly vulnerable to psychological stress arising from academic responsibilities and workplace demands. The objective of this research is to examine the influence of mental health on their tendency to resign from their jobs. An associative quantitative research method was adopted, with data collected through structured interviews involving 71 respondents. The analysis was conducted using simple linear regression via the SPSS application. The findings reveal that mental health has a significant negative effect on turnover intention, with a significance value of 0.001. This suggests that students who experience better mental health are less likely to consider leaving their jobs. The coefficient of determination (R Square) is 14.6%, indicating that mental health explains 14.6% of the variation in turnover intention. The remaining 85.4% may be attributed to other contributing factors, such as high work pressure from supervisors, poor work-life balance, financial stress, inflexible schedules, and lack of organizational support. The implication of these results is that efforts to support and maintain the psychological well-being of working students are essential for reducing employee turnover. Educational institutions and employers should collaborate to create supportive environments through counseling services, flexible scheduling, mental health awareness programs, and policies that accommodate the dual responsibilities of student workers. By addressing these mental health concerns, institutions can improve student performance and job retention simultaneously. This study highlights the importance of integrating mental health strategies in workforce and academic management, especially for populations that manage competing academic and professional obligations.

The rapid development of information technology has had a significant impact on various sectors of life, including micro-enterprises such as meatball stalls. Amidst increasingly fierce competition and the need for operational efficiency, many micro-enterprises are shifting from manual management systems to digital systems. This study aims to explain the background, objectives, and benefits of utilizing information technology in managing meatball stalls, with a focus on the implementation of the Odoo application as a business management solution. Odoo is an open-source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that offers various functional modules such as Point of Sale (POS), inventory management, accounting, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Through the implementation of Odoo, meatball stalls can manage various operational aspects in an integrated manner, from recording sales transactions, managing raw material stock, financial reporting, to customer relations. The results of this technology implementation show significant improvements in data recording accuracy, service speed, and ease of decision-making based on accurate and real-time data. In addition, this technology also provides opportunities for stall owners to develop their businesses more professionally and competitively. Thus, the integration of information technology like Odoo not only improves efficiency and productivity but also contributes to economic growth by strengthening the micro-enterprise sector. This digital transformation is expected to be a strategic step in realizing a modern meatball stall that can compete in the digital era.

This study aims to analyze the influence of accounting knowledge, business capital, and business length on the success of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Tandes District, Surabaya City. The background of this research is based on the importance of financial management skills, sufficient capital availability, and business experience in supporting the sustainability and growth of MSMEs. This study uses a quantitative approach with primary data obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to MSME actors who are registered and domiciled in Tandes District. The sample criteria include fostered MSME actors who have been running their businesses for at least three years and marketing their own products. The number of respondents who were successfully collected in this study was 105 people. The data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS software version 23.0. The results of the study show that the variables of accounting knowledge, business capital, and business duration simultaneously or partially have a positive and significant effect on the success of MSME businesses in Tandes District. Accounting knowledge helps business actors in managing finances and recording transactions systematically. Adequate business capital is an important factor in business development and increasing production capacity. Meanwhile, the length of the business reflects the accumulation of experience and practical knowledge that can improve managerial efficiency and effectiveness. Thus, these three variables have a strategic role in increasing the success of MSMEs. This finding provides an implication that MSME empowerment programs should be focused on improving accounting literacy, wider access to capital, and long-term business assistance. Local governments and related institutions can take these results into consideration in designing policies that support the sustainable growth of MSMEs.
