Employee performance represents the ability to fulfill tasks and responsibilities according to organizational standards. At UPTD Puskesmas Kosambi, the evaluation of Non-Civil Servant (Non-ASN) healthcare workers is still done manually and tends to be subjective, primarily based on attendance. This study aims to address the issue by developing a decision support system using the MOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis) method. A descriptive-applied approach and the waterfall development model were employed. Five evaluation criteria were used: attendance (25%), service quality (35%), report timeliness (20%), patient complaints (10%), and lateness (10%). Data from 20 Non-ASN healthcare workers in April 2025 were analyzed, with Anis Julianti achieving the highest MOORA score of 0.3839. The system underwent validation through black-box testing and user acceptance testing (UAT), both confirming its accuracy and usability. The findings were compared with previous studies. Harningsih et al. (2024) used the MOORA method for promotion evaluations at the North Sumatra Provincial Inspectorate Office and recorded a top score of 0.3616. Dewi Yohana br Ginting et al. (2024) applied the method at a beauty clinic and found a top score of 0.3747. These comparisons indicate that the MOORA results in this study fall within a consistent and valid range. The developed decision support system is expected to enhance the objectivity, transparency, and accountability of performance evaluations for Non-ASN employees in primary healthcare services, offering a more comprehensive alternative to manual assessment methods.

Budget management in police institutions has a strategic role in ensuring accountability and effectiveness in the implementation of state duties. However, violations in budget planning and utilization still often occur due to weak supervisory systems and a closed bureaucratic culture. This study aims to analyze the normative law enforcement mechanism against budget violations within the Police and evaluate its effectiveness in ensuring the principles of accountability and impunity. The type of research used is normative-doctrinal with statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches. The results of the study show that although regulations are adequate, the implementation of the law is still hampered by conflicts of interest, lack of transparency, and lack of public participation. Therefore, systemic reform is needed through strengthening institutional capacity, digitizing the budget system, and cross-agency supervisory collaboration to encourage fair and accountable law enforcement in the police institution.

Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is the main pillar in maintaining investor trust and capital market stability. In the midst of dynamic capital market developments, the principle of transparency and accountability is a key element in building public trust and ensuring investor protection. Law No. 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies (UUPT) as the main legal framework for regulating corporate entities in Indonesia, has a strategic position in regulating the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GGC) principles, especially in the capital market supported by public companies. This study aims to examine the legal implementation of transparency and accountability obligations in Good Corporate Governance (GCG) as regulated in the UUPT and linked to the obligations of public companies in the capital market. This study applies a normative legal approach with a descriptive analysis method to statutory regulations, legal literature, and literature studies from five journals and five relevant law books. The results of this study indicate that the UUPT has emphasized the responsibility of corporate organs in implementing the principles of openness and accountability. Therefore, stricter supervision and strict enforcement of sanctions are needed so that the principles of Good Corporate Governance are truly implemented in real terms.

This study examines the comparative supervision systems of notarial professions in Indonesia and the Netherlands using a normative and comparative legal approach. In Indonesia, notary supervision is centralized under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights through supervisory councils, yet remains weak in terms of independence and transparency. In contrast, the Netherlands adopts a decentralized and independent model through institutions such as the KNB, the Notarial Disciplinary Board, and the BFT, which ensure accountability and public oversight. The findings reveal that the Dutch system is more effective in enforcing professional ethics and preventing conflicts of interest through mandatory reporting and peer evaluations. The study suggests reforming Indonesia’s supervisory framework by strengthening institutional independence, enhancing the role of professional associations, and ensuring greater transparency. This research aims to contribute to the development of a more accountable and integrity-based notarial supervision system in civil law jurisdictions.

Waqf holds a crucial position in promoting social welfare and fostering the growth of a Sharia-based economy. In Indonesia, the success of waqf initiatives largely relies on sound governance and the operational effectiveness of waqf institutions. This study explores the roles of the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) as the regulatory authority and nazhir as the managers of waqf assets, while also highlighting key challenges such as technological limitations, lack of transparency, and weak supervision mechanisms. To overcome these obstacles, strategies including nazhir capacity building, digitalization of waqf management, and the application of the Waqf Core Principles Implementation Index (IIWCP) have been introduced. The findings suggest that adopting professional and innovative governance practices significantly enhances transparency, accountability, and the overall impact of waqf on social welfare and sustainable economic development.

This research explores the significance of waqf (Islamic endowment) management in achieving sustainable development, emphasizing the legal and managerial obstacles that impede its optimal performance. Although waqf has historically played a vital role in areas such as education, healthcare, and poverty reduction, modern administration is challenged by disjointed legal systems, outdated policies, and inadequate governance structures. These issues contribute to inefficiency, a lack of transparency, and declining confidence among donors. Applying a qualitative library research method, the study systematically examines scholarly sources, legal texts, and institutional records to assess how legal reform and strategic governance can enhance waqf operations. The analysis highlights the importance of aligning Islamic legal principles with contemporary management approaches—such as performance planning, financial innovation, and clear accountability measures—to improve both impact and efficiency. Moreover, the study stresses the urgent need for legal restructuring and human capital development within waqf institutions to ensure long-term viability and professionalism. By overcoming legal and organizational shortcomings, waqf can be transformed into a dynamic and sustainable financial instrument that supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research offers valuable academic and policy insights into creating effective, transparent, and Shariah-compliant waqf frameworks suited to modern socio-economic challenges.

This study examined efforts to optimize the functions and roles of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of Pemalang Regency in overseeing policies related to the use of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD). The optimization focused on strengthening the oversight mechanisms, enhancing the technical capacity of the DPRD, and improving inter-institutional coordination to support accountable budget governance. The study was motivated by the persistent weaknesses in legislative oversight, as evidenced by various findings of budget irregularities, including overpayments, misuse of grant funds, and unilateral budget decisions by the executive. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collected through in-depth interviews with members of Commission C, the Budget Committee, and expert staff from the DPRD Secretariat, as well as through document analysis. The findings indicated that the implementation of DPRD’s oversight functions had followed formal mechanisms such as the evaluation of the accountability report (LKPJ) and the discussion of the General Budget Policy and Provisional Budget Ceiling (KUA-PPAS). However, the oversight had not been optimal due to limited access to information, insufficient technical capacity, and weak inter-agency synergy. The DPRD had formulated several optimization strategies, including internal capacity building, the use of digital information systems (SIPD), and strengthening coordination with the Audit Board (BPK) and the regional inspectorate. Therefore, optimizing the DPRD’s oversight function required systemic improvements encompassing institutional capacity, information transparency, and active public involvement in monitoring regional budgets.  

The procedures for collecting, spending, and storing funds must be carefully considered when managing communal or group-owned finances. This is due to the trust placed in the treasurer to safeguard and supervise the group’s finances. A structured plan is essential in the management of religious gathering (pengajian) funds to ensure that the money is used for the benefit of the group and that unnecessary expenses are kept to a minimum. In practice, the management of pengajian funds is often conducted manually, without regard to efficiency. This study aims to analyze strategies for managing pengajian funds to improve the welfare of its members. A descriptive qualitative research method was used, with data collected through documentation, interviews, and observation. Data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that seven financial management principles—consistency, accountability, transparency, sustainability, integrity, stewardship, and adherence to accounting standards—are applied to evaluate the management of pengajian funds. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the implementation of strategic fund management has contributed to improving the welfare of the group’s members, while adhering to established standards and objectives.
