This study aims to analyze the role and effectiveness of Islamic monetary policy in Indonesia in facing digital transformation, particularly through the instruments of Sertifikat Bank Indonesia Syariah (SBIS) and Sukuk Bank Indonesia (SukBI). The digital transformation of the national financial system demands an adaptive monetary policy that remains grounded in the principles of maqashid shariah. In the context of Islamic economics, monetary policy not only functions to regulate the money supply and maintain price stability but also ensures the realization of justice and economic welfare. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using literature-based data collection from official publications of Bank Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and relevant academic references on Islamic monetary policy. The analysis adopts an inductive approach by examining the roles of SBIS and Sukuk BI in supporting the stability of the Islamic financial system and their alignment with maqashid shariah values such as al-‘adl (justice), al-wudhuh (transparency), and ar-rawaj (circulation of wealth). The findings indicate that digitalization has positively impacted the efficiency and transparency of Islamic monetary instruments, where SBIS plays a role in regulating the liquidity of Islamic banks in a non-usurious manner, while Sukuk BI serves as an essential instrument in maintaining national economic stability. Nevertheless, challenges remain, including the limited digital infrastructure for Islamic finance and the need to strengthen regulations to ensure that digital monetary systems remain consistent with sharia principles.

This study aims to analyze the legal accountability of three judges of the Surabaya District Court who were proven to have been involved in bribery practices during the examination process of a case that resulted in the acquittal of Gregorius Ronald Tannur, the son of Edward Tannur, a former member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the National Awakening Party (PKB). The study focuses on identifying the forms of legal responsibility that may be imposed on judges who receive bribes, as well as examining the abuse of judicial authority that influenced the issuance of the court decision. This research employs a normative juridical method using a statutory and case approach, through an analysis of Law Number 48 of 2009 on Judicial Power, Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes, Decision of the Surabaya District Court Number 454/Pid.B/2024/PN SBY, and the Joint Decree of the Supreme Court and the Judicial Commission of 2009 concerning the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Judicial Conduct. The findings indicate that judges proven to have accepted bribes may be subject to criminal sanctions in the form of imprisonment and/or fines, ethical sanctions imposed by the Judicial Commission, as well as administrative sanctions in the form of dishonorable dismissal, and that court decisions rendered by judges involved in bribery may be challenged through available legal remedies. This study underscores the importance of strengthening internal and external oversight mechanisms and enhancing transparency in judicial proceedings to maintain and restore public trust in the judiciary.

This study aims to analyze the strategic role of the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) of the General Elections Commission (KPU) of Palangka Raya City in supporting the strengthening of democracy and public participation at the local level. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design through documentary studies on regulations, internal policies of KPU, PPID service reports, and public information request data, enriched with observations of the information service mechanisms both offline and online. The results show that, normatively and structurally, the PPID of Palangka Raya City KPU has carried out its functions in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 14 of 2008 and KPU Regulation No. 22 of 2023. The information service procedures, response time limits, and the use of the E-PPID system reflect the institutional commitment to the principle of transparency. However, the level of utilization of public information services is still relatively low and dominated by the academic community, particularly students. Additionally, there have been no recorded requests for information from disabled groups, despite the provision of disability-friendly facilities. These findings indicate a gap between administrative information openness and substantive public participation. This study concludes that strengthening the role of PPID in the future should be directed toward public communication strategies, political education, and inclusive approaches so that information openness does not stop at regulatory compliance but can make a tangible contribution to the consolidation of a participatory and just local democracy.

This study aims to analyze the role of Digital Public Relations (DPR) in maintaining public trust in Kopi Tuku's reputation through its Instagram account @tokokopituku. Using qualitative methods with documentation studies, this study analyzed feed posts, captions, comment interactions, and related digital documents. The results show that Kopi Tuku implements a consistent digital communication strategy through simple visuals, humanistic storytelling, and a friendly style of language. This creates a deep perception of authenticity and transparency in the eyes of consumers. Although comment interactions are not too intense, the principle of symmetrical communication is still applied with quick and friendly responses. The consistency of brand values ​​and identity further strengthens public trust, maintaining Kopi Tuku's reputation amidst the intense competition in the coffee industry. This research contributes to the development of digital PR studies and serves as a reference for local coffee industry players in formulating social media-based communication strategies to build closer relationships with consumers.

This study presents an ethical framework for learning analytics aimed at addressing key challenges related to the collection and use of student data in higher education. Learning analytics, a powerful tool for improving student outcomes and institutional decision-making, has raised ethical concerns regarding data privacy, transparency, fairness, and equity. The proposed framework integrates four core principles: data privacy, informed consent, transparency, and fairness, ensuring that institutions use learning analytics responsibly while safeguarding student rights. A central feature of the framework is its focus on promoting equitable decision-making, minimizing bias, and preventing the reinforcement of existing inequalities in algorithmic and data-driven decisions. The framework also emphasizes the importance of continuous ethical oversight, holding institutions accountable for ethical data use and adapting practices as technology evolves. The study concludes that the framework offers a comprehensive solution to the ethical challenges in learning analytics, providing institutions with a practical guide to embedding ethical principles in data practices. Additionally, the research discusses its potential to foster fairness, equity, and transparency in decision-making processes. Future research is recommended to refine the framework and explore its application across various educational contexts, ensuring responsible and inclusive use of learning analytics.

The growing demand for transparency, accountability, and measurable performance has transformed higher education institutions into complex public organizations required to deliver reliable and stakeholder-oriented services. Within this governance-driven environment, institutional governance plays a fundamental role in shaping service excellence and institutional legitimacy. Drawing on a public administration perspective, this study examines how governance dimensions influence academic service performance in higher education. This research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and institutional observations involving university leaders, academic administrators, faculty members, and students. The analysis focuses on governance dimensions—transparency, accountability, participation, effectiveness, and responsibility—and their integration into institutional systems such as performance management, quality assurance, and digital infrastructure. The findings reveal that governance frameworks are formally established through regulations and digital systems; however, their operational integration remains uneven. Transparency improves service reliability when supported by consistent information management, while accountability mechanisms tend to emphasize procedural compliance rather than performance-based evaluation. Stakeholder participation is institutionalized but largely consultative. The study concludes that service excellence in higher education is a governance-driven outcome that requires systemic alignment between governance principles, institutional capacity, and performance management processes. Strengthened governance integration enhances service reliability and institutional legitimacy.

This study aims to analyze how digital transparency, distribution validation, and personalized donor services simultaneously maintain donor trust and loyalty as strategies to mitigate liquidity risk and ensure program sustainability at LAZIS Alharomain Pare Kediri Branch. Using a qualitative descriptive–analytical approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving management, donors, and beneficiaries. The findings reveal a paradox between the increasing number of donors—from 5,644 in 2020 to 7,955 in 2023—and the financial deficit observed in key programs such as Infaq Sayangi Anak Yatim Dhuafa and Infaq Sahabat Sehat. To address this, the institution implemented three main strategies: real-time digital reporting via social media, multi-layered verification in fund distribution, and personalized communication with donors. These strategies form a trust–loyalty–participation cycle that strengthens program continuity. Theoretical analysis based on Trust Theory and liquidity risk management for zakat institutions shows that public trust functions as a form of social capital capable of compensating for short-term financial liquidity gaps. This study extends the discourse on Sustainable Islamic Philanthropy Governance by asserting that digital transparency serves as both an ethical and strategic instrument to uphold accountability and the sustainability of Islamic philanthropic institutions.

This article aims to provide a comprehensive literature review on how professional ethics can serve as an effective strategy to prevent fund misuse within organizational financial management. Professional ethics is viewed as a set of moral values, behavioral norms, and professional standards that guide financial managers to perform their duties with honesty, responsibility, and without conflicts of interest. In the context of financial management, these duties include recording, budgeting, monitoring, and reporting financial activities, all of which require accuracy and transparency. The study highlights five main principles of professional ethics: integrity, objectivity, professional competence, confidentiality, and professional behavior. These principles clarify rules, strengthen accountability, and ensure that financial processes comply with established standards. The literature review shows that applying professional ethics not only encourages individuals to act correctly but also enhances responsibility, improves performance, and strengthens financial oversight. Integrity and objectivity play a crucial role in preventing report manipulation, budget inflation, and fund misuse, as these principles demand moral courage and fair decision-making. Professional competence ensures that every financial process is carried out accurately and in accordance with regulations, while confidentiality protects sensitive information from misuse. Professional behavior emphasizes adherence to laws, organizational policies, and professional standards. The article also identifies several supporting factors that enable the effective implementation of professional ethics, such as strong internal policies, leadership commitment to integrity, an ethical workplace culture, layered supervision systems, and continuous ethics training. Conversely, common challenges include weak internal controls, limited understanding of ethics, organizational pressure, conflicts of interest, and inconsistent application of ethical standards. Therefore, this article underscores that integrating professional ethics into organizational financial policies, procedures, and management systems is a key step in preventing fund misuse and strengthening stakeholder trust in the organization’s transparency and accountability.

This study investigates Indonesia’s long-term economic transformation across four pivotal eras: the colonial period, the Old Order, the New Order, and the Reformasi era. Employing a descriptive qualitative design with historical analysis, the research elucidates how political transitions, institutional reforms, and global dynamics have interacted to shape the nation's economic architecture. Results indicate that colonial legacies entrenched deep structural inequalities and a dualistic economy, creating a path dependency that continued to influence policy direction after independence. During the Old Order, efforts to assert economic sovereignty were constrained by macroeconomic instability, limited state capacity, and shifting political coalitions. The New Order marked a turning point toward industrialization, macroeconomic stabilization, and openness to foreign investment, generating high growth but also deepening inequality and dependence on external capital. Entering the Reformasi era, decentralization, democratization of governance, and fiscal transparency reshaped institutional frameworks; however, persistent challenges such as regional disparities, productivity gaps, and vulnerability to global shocks remain evident. The study concludes that Indonesia’s economic evolution is non-linear, shaped by historical constraints and gradual institutional adaptation rather than abrupt shifts. Strengthening governance, enhancing domestic industrial competitiveness, and expanding inclusive development policies are essential strategies for supporting long-term resilience. These findings highlight the importance of continuity in policy reform to achieve sustainable growth and to realize the national vision of Indonesia Emas 2045.

Background: The development of industrial technology in the Industry 4.0 era has encouraged the implementation of intelligent monitoring systems to improve machine reliability and operational efficiency. However, machine fault diagnosis systems based on artificial intelligence often face limitations in terms of interpretability because the models used are complex and difficult to explain. Objective: This study aims to develop a deep learning-based industrial machine fault diagnosis system integrated with an Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approach to improve diagnostic accuracy while providing interpretable insights for users. Method: The research method involves collecting data from industrial machine sensors consisting of vibration signals, temperature measurements, and acoustic signals, followed by data preprocessing and feature extraction processes. The processed data are then used to train a deep learning-based diagnostic model, after which explainability methods such as SHAP or LIME are applied to analyze the contribution of each feature to the model’s prediction results. Model performance is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. Results: The results indicate that the proposed deep learning model achieves better performance compared to conventional machine learning methods such as Support Vector Machine and Random Forest. Furthermore, the explainability analysis reveals that vibration amplitude, increases in machine component temperature, and anomalies in acoustic signals are the main factors influencing machine fault detection. Therefore, the proposed system not only improves the accuracy of machine fault diagnosis but also provides transparency in the decision-making process, thereby supporting the implementation of predictive maintenance in smart manufacturing environments.

The implementation of e-government is one of the local government's strategies in improving the quality of public services and realizing Good Governance. This study aims to analyze the implementation of e-government through the Tangerang LIVE Application as an effort to improve Good Governance in the Tangerang City Government. The research method used is a qualitative literature study approach through the search and analysis of various literature sources in the form of books, scientific journals, and official government documents related to e-government, the Tangerang LIVE Application, and the principles of Good Governance. This research analysis uses the Good Governance principles framework according to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which includes transparency, participation, responsiveness, effectiveness and efficiency, and accountability. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Tangerang LIVE Application contributes positively to increasing public information disclosure, expanding public participation, accelerating government responses to public complaints, increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of public services, and strengthening the accountability of local government performance. However, there are several obstacles to achieving Good Governance through the Tangerang Live application and these obstacles become an evaluation of the Tangerang City government to innovate through e-government that supports the improvement of Good Governance in the Tangerang City Government. This study recommends strengthening digital literacy, improving institutional coordination, and sustainable system development to ensure optimal and inclusive e-government implementation.

This study examines the influence of foreign ownership, return on assets (ROA), and firm size on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure among energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2022–2024. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, including firms that consistently published annual and sustainability reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. ESG disclosure was measured as the proportion of disclosed GRI indicators to the total applicable indicators. Multiple linear regression analysis shows that foreign ownership and firm size significantly enhance ESG disclosure, while ROA has no significant effect. These results support legitimacy theory, suggesting that companies increase ESG transparency primarily to secure societal acceptance and maintain their social license to operate. In the energy sector, where environmental sensitivity and public scrutiny are high, ownership structure and firm scale emerge as stronger determinants of ESG disclosure than short-term profitability.

This study aims to analyze the major challenges in regional financial management that affect the quality of the implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia. Regional financial management plays a crucial role in achieving fiscal independence and ensuring the effectiveness of local governance. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method using a literature review approach by examining various scholarly sources, legal regulations, policy reports, and relevant previous studies. The analysis reveals three recurring and interrelated issues: the high level of fiscal dependence of local governments on the central government, the limited capacity and competence of regional financial management personnel, and the persistence of budget misuse reflecting weak governance and oversight mechanisms. These challenges form structural barriers to the realization of fiscal self-reliance and accountable local governance. The study emphasizes that improving regional financial management cannot be carried out in a partial or fragmented manner but requires a comprehensive approach involving the enhancement of human resource capacity, reform of budgeting systems and mechanisms, and the strengthening of transparency and public accountability. Therefore, improving regional financial governance is a strategic step toward achieving effective, sustainable regional autonomy that is oriented toward public welfare.

This study investigates the relationship between corporate governance characteristics, financial structure, and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) disclosure in Indonesian non-financial firms. Focusing on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2023, the analysis examines whether board size, the proportion of independent commissioners, and leverage influence the extent of ERM disclosure. Using a quantitative approach, multiple linear regression is applied to secondary data obtained from firms’ annual reports. The findings indicate that board size and the proportion of independent commissioners do not have a significant effect on ERM disclosure, while leverage exhibits a positive and significant relationship. This result suggests that firms with higher debt levels are more inclined to enhance risk disclosure as a mechanism to address information asymmetry and demonstrate accountability to investors and creditors. The study contributes to the ERM and corporate governance literature by providing evidence from an emerging market setting and highlighting the practical importance of financial structure in shaping risk transparency, offering relevant insights for corporate decision-makers and regulators to strengthen sustainable risk management practices.

This study aims to examine the quality of public services at the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) of Pohuwato Regency using the SERVQUAL model, which comprises five dimensions: Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. This research was conducted in response to persistent public complaints regarding slow service processes, long queues, limited facilities and infrastructure, network disruptions, as well as insufficient information and uncertainty concerning service completion time. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews with Disdukcapil employees and community members, and documentation. The findings indicate that the quality of public services has not yet been optimal. The Tangibles dimension remains weak due to inadequate service facilities. Reliability has not been fully achieved as a result of delays in document issuance and system disruptions. Responsiveness among service officers is inconsistent in addressing public complaints. In terms of Assurance, officers demonstrate adequate professionalism; however, transparency in procedures and service timelines remains inconsistent. Meanwhile, in the Empathy dimension, attention to the community particularly vulnerable groups still needs improvement. Overall, the public services provided by Disdukcapil Pohuwato have not fully met community expectations and require improvements in facilities, staff competence, and the effectiveness of service systems.

This study examines the role of officially appointed amil zakat in enhancing transparency and accountability in zakat governance in Mojopuro Village, Wonogiri Regency. Prior to this initiative, Mojopuro had no Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ), resulting in zakat practices that were traditional, undocumented, and lacking institutional oversight. Through a series of mentoring activities and seminars conducted from 8–18 September 2025, capacity-building efforts were directed toward prospective amil zakat, village officials, and religious leaders, focusing on zakat regulations, principles of transparency, and both vertical and horizontal accountability. The implementation methods included material delivery, group discussions, and consultative sessions, which ultimately led to the formal appointment of official amil zakat by the Wonogiri Regency BAZNAS. The findings demonstrate that the presence of official amil significantly improved the structural management of zakat, enhanced participants’ understanding of transparency and accountability, and strengthened coordination among amil, village administrators, and religious figures. These results indicate that village-based institutional mentoring can foster a transformative shift from traditional zakat practices toward professional, transparent, and accountable governance. This study thus offers a community-based empowerment model that can be replicated in other villages to improve zakat distribution effectiveness and build public trust in formal zakat institutions.

This study analyzes the influence of Islamic business ethics principles on online buying and selling transactions in the predominantly Muslim community of South Sumatra. Using a quantitative approach through a survey of 200 respondents in Palembang with a Likert scale questionnaire, the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS 26. The results showed that the principle of honesty (sidq) had the strongest significant influence (β = 0.029, p = 0.002), followed by unity (tawhid) (β = 0.016, p = 0.049), while other principles such as balance, free will, and responsibility showed a positive but insignificant influence. The regression model explained 10.3% of the variation in transaction behavior (R² = 0.103). This study concluded that the application of Islamic ethics can increase trust and sustainability in e-commerce in the region, with implications for the development of halal businesses. In the future, the application of these principles is expected to mitigate ethical issues in e-commerce, such as fraud and uncertainty that often occur, as well as strengthen transparency and fairness in online transactions.

This study discusses the 17th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), Partnership for the Goals, which highlights the importance of global collaboration in achieving shared prosperity. The main focus of this research is on three key instruments of global partnership: external debt, foreign investment, and foreign aid. These instruments play a crucial role in supporting development in developing countries, but they also raise controversies related to economic dependence, global power imbalances, and the effectiveness of aid. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach based on a literature review of international reports and academic research. The analysis shows that although debt, investment, and foreign aid offer opportunities for technology transfer, economic growth, and poverty reduction, their sustainability largely depends on governance, transparency, and equality among nations. Therefore, global partnerships should be directed toward more inclusive and equitable systems to ensure that global development goals can be achieved sustainably.

This study aims to understand how accounting functions as a social construction in shaping the meaning of transparency and responsibility in the modern business world. Accounting has long been viewed as a technical, neutral, and objective system; however, both financial and non-financial reporting practices also reflect the values, ideologies, and moral consciousness embedded within organizations. Using a qualitative interpretive approach within the framework of social constructivism (Berger & Luckmann, 1966), this study explores the meanings constructed by accounting practitioners through social interactions, organizational culture, and reporting policies. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis of corporate reports, and were analyzed using interpretative thematic analysis. The results reveal that transparency and responsibility are not merely formal obligations but the outcomes of social processes involving the externalization of values by leaders, the objectivation of those values through reporting systems, and their internalization within individual moral awareness. In this context, accounting functions as a social language that reflects organizational morality, legitimacy, and identity. Organizations with participatory and reflective cultures are found to develop more authentic transparency, while bureaucratic structures tend to produce symbolic transparency. Theoretically, this study contributes to the discourse of critical accounting by asserting that accounting numbers and reports are socially constructed artifacts imbued with values. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of ethical leadership, reflective culture, and social dialogue as foundational elements for implementing authentic transparency and sustainable corporate responsibility.

As the business and technological environment evolves, modern accounting is no longer limited to recording historical transactions, but has developed into a strategic information system that emphasizes transparency, accountability, and the use of technology and integrated reporting to create long-term value. From a theoretical perspective, the development of accounting is closely related to agency theory, which explains the relationship between principals and agents. Unlike agency theory, stewardship theory assumes that management is motivated by the interests of the organization and principals rather than the personal goals of managers. The conceptual differences between agency theory and stewardship theory also influence modern accounting practices. This study was conducted to analyze the conceptual differences between agency theory and stewardship theory, the factors that distinguish the two theories, and the relevance of both theories in accounting practice. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach or comparative literature study. Empirical research results show that both theories have their own relevance according to the context of the company, so neither is completely superior. Agency theory and stewardship theory also offer different but complementary perspectives in explaining the relationship between owners and managers in modern accounting practices.
