This study aims to analyze the extent to which Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) 109 on Zakat Accounting has been implemented in the financial reporting of Amil Zakat Institutions. PSAK 109 is designed as a guideline to ensure that the management of zakat, infaq, and alms funds is carried out in an accountable, transparent, and Sharia-compliant manner. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation as data collection techniques, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of zakat accounting practices applied by the institution. The findings indicate that the Amil Zakat Institution has implemented most aspects of PSAK 109, particularly in the recognition, measurement, and presentation of zakat funds, which are clearly separated from non-zakat funds. This practice demonstrates a positive effort by the institution to maintain accountability and transparency in managing public funds. However, the study also reveals weaknesses in the disclosure aspect, especially in the Notes to Financial Statements (CALK), where the information provided remains limited and has not fully met the requirements of PSAK 109. Such limitations reduce the overall quality and transparency of financial reporting. The main challenges in implementing PSAK 109 include the limited number of human resources with sufficient technical knowledge of zakat accounting, the inadequacy of the existing accounting information system, and the lack of intensive technical training. These issues hinder the optimal application of PSAK 109 and may lead to inconsistent interpretations in practice. Therefore, strategic improvements are required through internal capacity building, the development of integrated accounting information systems, and continuous assistance from relevant authorities. These efforts are expected to enhance the quality of zakat financial reporting, making it more transparent, accountable, and Sharia-compliant, while also strengthening public trust in Amil Zakat Institutions as trustworthy managers of public funds.

Human trafficking is a highly complex form of transnational crime involving transnational criminal networks. This crime generally originates from developing countries with unstable socio-economic conditions, where women and children are often the primary victims. They are forced or tricked into working in exploitative sectors, particularly sexual exploitation, labor exploitation, and other forms of oppression that benefit agents, distributors, and organized crime syndicates. In Indonesia, regulations regarding this crime are stipulated in Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Human Trafficking. This study aims to determine the form of legal protection provided to victims of human trafficking in the jurisdiction of the Surabaya Police, as well as to understand the various obstacles faced by police officers and the efforts made to overcome them. The research method used is empirical juridical, namely examining the law in practice through primary data obtained from interviews, observations, and official documents, then combined with secondary data in the form of legal literature, laws and regulations, and tertiary legal materials to support the analysis. This study found that the Surabaya City Police have implemented legal protection measures for victims of human trafficking in accordance with applicable regulations, from handling reports and conducting investigations and inquiries, to coordinating with relevant agencies such as social services, women's and children's protection agencies, and non-governmental organizations. However, several obstacles remain, including limited police resources, low victim awareness of reporting cases, and threats from perpetrators that discourage victims from cooperating. Despite this, maximum efforts continue to be made through improved inter-agency coordination, legal and psychological assistance for victims, and firm law enforcement against perpetrators. Therefore, it can be concluded that legal protection for victims of human trafficking at the Surabaya City Police has been quite effective, although institutional strengthening and increased public legal awareness are still needed.

Vocational education in Indonesia faces a serious challenge in the form of a gap between the competencies of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates and the evolving needs of the workforce. Timika City, despite having the largest number of vocational high schools (SMK) in Papua, has not yet fully demonstrated optimal educational management quality, particularly in the aspect of school administration. This condition has resulted in low effectiveness in data recording, documentation of industrial work practices, and reporting and evaluation of partnerships with the business and industrial world (DUDI). This study aims to explore and analyze administrative management strategies that can improve educational quality while strengthening the work readiness of vocational high school students in Timika City. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis of secondary data, including government policy reports, educational statistics, and the latest scientific literature. The results show that weaknesses in the administrative system are one of the factors inhibiting the achievement of competitive vocational education quality. The implementation of management strategies based on Total Quality Management (TQM) principles, particularly through the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle, data-driven decision-making, and the involvement of all school elements, has proven effective in increasing the efficiency and accountability of administrative services. The discussion also emphasized the importance of transformational leadership from school principals, developing the competencies of administrative staff, utilizing information technology in administrative systems, and strengthening strategic partnerships with the industrial and industrial sectors (DUDI). Therefore, it can be concluded that school administrative management is not merely a technical function, but rather a strategic component in building a vocational education ecosystem that is adaptive, relevant, and oriented to the needs of the workplace. This research recommends that school policymakers and local governments strengthen administrative governance systems to support educational quality and improve the job readiness of vocational high school graduates.

Bullying is a persistent social issue frequently found in school settings and remains a concern in many countries. This study was initiated based on observations at SMPN 17 Pekanbaru, where numerous students were found to have experienced bullying. The purpose of this community service program was to introduce and promote a digital reporting platform for junior high school students, designed to be safe, interactive, and evidence-based, thereby enabling victims or witnesses to report incidents more easily. The methods applied included socialization, practical demonstration, and evaluation, involving 40 students as participants in the program. The intervention introduced the “BeSafe” website, which aims to provide a secure and user-friendly channel for reporting bullying anonymously and independently. The findings indicate that the website achieved a usability score of 82.2%, categorizing it as highly feasible and appropriate for use among adolescents. Furthermore, BeSafe was able to offer comfort, security, and accessibility for students in addressing bullying cases. An evaluation carried out one month after the program revealed that 20 bullying complaints had been successfully submitted through the platform, showing its effectiveness in encouraging students to speak up and utilize digital solutions without fear of exposure. In conclusion, the BeSafe platform is proven to be suitable as a medium for reporting bullying cases and holds significant potential to support preventive measures in schools. Beyond serving as a reporting tool, it can also act as an educational and protective medium that fosters a safer, more inclusive, and supportive school environment, ultimately contributing to the broader efforts of reducing bullying and enhancing students’ psychological well-being.

This study addresses the issue of inadequate financial reporting by Regional Government Organizations (Organisasi Perangkat Daerah/OPD) in Nganjuk, where financial statements are expected to meet user needs in fulfilling transparency and accountability requirements. The research investigates the influence of four key factors—accounting standards, information systems, internal controls, and the competence of human resources—on the quality of financial statements. Furthermore, it examines the moderating role of organizational commitment in strengthening or weakening the relationships between these factors and financial reporting quality. The study adopts a quantitative research design, with data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 53 OPD offices, involving 212 randomly selected respondents. Data were analyzed using classical assumption tests to ensure validity and reliability, followed by Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) employing SPSS software. The findings reveal that information systems, internal controls, and competent human resources have a significant positive effect on the quality of financial reports. In contrast, accounting standards show no significant direct impact. Moreover, organizational commitment plays a moderating role in enhancing the positive effects of information systems, internal controls, and human resource competence on report quality. However, it does not moderate the relationship between accounting standards and financial reporting quality. These results highlight the importance of both technical and human resource aspects in improving financial statement quality within OPDs. While adequate systems and controls are crucial, the study underscores that the presence of strong organizational commitment is a determining factor in maximizing their effectiveness. The research suggests that efforts to improve financial reporting should not only focus on compliance with standards but also on strengthening commitment, training, and the integration of information systems and internal control mechanisms

Quality education services are closely linked to the effectiveness of financial and asset governance within local government institutions. This study aims to explore in depth the strategic role of the Finance and Assets Subdivision in enhancing the effectiveness of education services under the Central Kalimantan Provincial Education Office. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis was carried out following the Miles and Huberman model, which involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the Finance Subdivision plays a critical role in needs-based budget planning, ensuring that financial allocations align with educational priorities and policies. It manages key funding sources such as School Operational Assistance (BOS) and Special Allocation Funds (DAK) with a focus on transparency, accountability, and timely reporting. Meanwhile, the Asset Subdivision contributes through systematic recording, equitable distribution, and optimal utilization of regional property. These responsibilities are supported by regular training programs and consistent monitoring to ensure that facilities remain functional and beneficial for educational purposes. The implementation of integrated digital management systems, such as SIMDA, SIKD, and SIPKD, has significantly improved data accuracy, accessibility, and overall management efficiency. These systems allow for more transparent governance and facilitate informed decision-making at the institutional level. The study concludes that the active and coordinated role of the Finance and Assets Subdivision forms a strong foundation for professional, efficient, and sustainable education governance. The findings suggest that strengthening human resource capacity, enhancing interdepartmental coordination, and further integrating digital information systems are essential strategies to improve the quality and equity of education services in the region. Such improvements will contribute to achieving better educational outcomes and fostering public trust in government-managed education services.

This research aims to design and build a web-based syar'i clothing inventory information system at Umama Gallery Yogyakarta. The background of this research is based on the problem of inventory management which has been done manually, which often causes obstacles such as delays in stock information, potential recording errors, wasted paper, and difficulties in preparing inventory reports quickly and accurately. To overcome these problems, a web-based information system was developed by referring to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Waterfall model, which includes the stages of planning, needs analysis, design, implementation, and testing. Research data was obtained through interviews with store managers and literature studies to support the analysis and design of the system. The implementation results show that the inventory information system built is able to simplify the process of recording and monitoring inventory in real-time, thereby helping to reduce the potential for recording errors and speeding up the reporting process. In addition, this system also reduces dependence on physical documents, making it more environmentally friendly and efficient in the use of resources. Available features include data management of goods, suppliers, users, incoming and outgoing goods transactions, and user account management. The integration of these features supports comprehensive inventory management, improves operational efficiency, and facilitates management in making accurate, data-driven decisions. With this system, Umama Gallery Yogyakarta has gained an effective, reliable, and integrated tool to support smooth operations and more modern and professional inventory management. Similar systems have the potential to be implemented in similar businesses to improve inventory management quality and competitiveness in the digital age.

The implementation of the Regional Government Information Sistem (Sistem Informasi Pemerintahan Daerah, SIPD) represents a strategic initiative to strengthen transparency, accountability, and efficiency in regional financial management. Designed to integrate financial data and facilitate standardized reporting across local government units, SIPD is regulated under Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 70 of 2019. However, in practice, the adoption of SIPD in various regions, including Rote Ndao Regency, encounters persistent technical and administrative challenges that limit its optimal utilization. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of SIPD in managing regional finances within Rote Ndao Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, direct observation of system operations, and analysis of relevant documents. The findings reveal that SIPD implementation in Rote Ndao generally complies with the regulatory framework, indicating that the system has been formally adopted and is operational within the expected governance structure. Nonetheless, several issues undermine its effectiveness, including frequent system errors, limited functionality in accounting and reporting modules, and delays in data entry from organizational units. These limitations affect the timeliness, accuracy, and integration of financial reports, ultimately constraining decision-making processes. The study suggests that to fully realize SIPD’s potential, strategic improvements are required. These include enhancing the capacity and skills of human resources responsible for system operation, upgrading IT infrastructure to ensure system stability, and expanding SIPD’s features to meet practical accounting and reporting needs. The research contributes valuable insights for regional governments, policymakers, and system developers, emphasizing the need for continuous system refinement, targeted training programs, and infrastructure investment. By addressing these challenges, SIPD can serve as a more reliable and sustainable tool for promoting transparent and accountable regional financial governance.

This qualitative literature review explores the intricate relationship between managerial self-interest, corporate investment decisions, and stock market valuation. By synthesizing theoretical models and empirical evidence, the study highlights how equity-based managerial incentives and information asymmetry influence investment strategies and market perceptions. The findings emphasize the role of catering theory, illustrating how managers align investment choices with market sentiment to maximize short-term valuation, often at the expense of long-term value creation. Additionally, the review underscores the significance of financial reporting quality and governance structures in mitigating the risks of misaligned incentives. While the review provides valuable insights, it acknowledges limitations related to scope, emerging market contexts, and the evolving financial landscape. The study concludes by advocating for enhanced transparency and regulatory reforms to align managerial incentives with sustainable shareholder value.

This research examines in-depth legal protection against cybercrime in Indonesia, with a specific focus on ransomware attacks. It also evaluates the 2025 Draft Cyber Security and Resilience Law (RUU KKS) as a measure to strengthen the national cyber defense system. The increase in ransomware cases targeting personal data, public institutions, and vital infrastructure has posed a serious threat to information security and national stability. Although the 2008 Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the 2022 Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) serve as the legal basis, these two regulations do not yet specifically and comprehensively regulate ransomware. This results in challenges in law enforcement and victim protection, both in technical aspects, coordination, and human rights protection. The research method used is normative legal with a qualitative approach, which includes analysis of primary and secondary legal materials, as well as comparisons with regulations in several countries that have more mature ransomware handling mechanisms. The analysis of the 2025 Cyber Security Bill (RUU KKS) indicates that this draft regulation has the potential to strengthen the authority of cyber authorities, mandate reporting of cyber incidents, and impose stricter sanctions on perpetrators. However, implementing this policy requires effective cross-agency coordination, transparent oversight, and synergy between the public and private sectors. This study concludes that the 2025 Cyber Security Bill (RUU KKS) represents a strategic step in building a national cybersecurity system that is adaptive, integrated, and responsive to evolving cyber threats. However, its success will depend heavily on improving public digital security literacy, multi-sectoral collaboration, investment in detection and prevention technology, and guaranteeing human rights protection. These findings are expected to provide input for policymakers in formulating comprehensive and sustainable cybersecurity regulations as a bulwark of national defense in the digital era.

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 investigate the influence of workload, competence, and red flags on auditors' ability to detect financial statement fraud. Fraud detection is a crucial aspect of the audit process, especially amidst increasing business complexity and pressure on the integrity of financial reporting. This study was conducted on 104 external auditors working at 12 Public Accounting Firms (KAP) operating in the Bekasi area. Respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique, namely selecting samples based on certain criteria relevant to the research objectives. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires compiled based on research variable indicators, then analyzed using hypothesis testing with the help of SPSS Statistics software version 26. The results of the analysis indicate that partially, the variables of workload and red flags have a negative influence on auditors' ability to detect financial statement fraud. This indicates that auditors with high workloads or who do not accurately identify red flags have a lower tendency to detect fraud. Conversely, auditor competence shows a significant positive influence on fraud detection ability. Auditors who have adequate knowledge, skills, and experience tend to be more capable of identifying and analyzing indications of fraud in financial statements. Simultaneously, the three independent variables—workload, competence, and red flags—significantly influence auditors' ability to detect financial statement fraud. This finding underscores the importance of managing auditor workload, improving competence through ongoing training, and developing a thorough understanding of red flag indicators to enhance audit effectiveness and financial statement quality. This research is expected to contribute to the development of audit practices and the enhancement of auditor professionalism in Indonesia.

Corruption is a severe issue that threatens good government and impedes national growth. Various legislative tools, including Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption, have been used in Indonesia to combat corruption, as well as the establishment of special institutions such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Although regulations and institutions for eradicating corruption are available, the implementation of the law in the field still faces various obstacles, including weak coordination between law enforcers, political intervention, and the effectiveness of sanctions imposed on perpetrators of corruption. The study seeks to analyze the legal framework governing corruption eradication in Indonesia and identify obstacles in its implementation. This study also looks at legal tactics that can be used to improve the efficacy of anti-corruption efforts. This study takes a normative legal approach and concentrates on analyzing pertinent laws and regulations, court records, and scholarly works. This study's data came from secondary sources including books, scientific journals, and reports from anti-corruption organizations, as well as primary sources like relevant laws and regulations. It is anticipated that this investigation will provide a deeper insight of the effectiveness of the law in eradicating corruption in Indonesia and to find aspects that need to be improved in the existing legal system. Thus, this study can provide academic contributions and practical recommendations for policymakers to strengthen the eradication of corruption in Indonesia. In addition to analyzing the legal framework and challenges, this study also explores the role of public awareness and participation in the fight against corruption in Indonesia. Public involvement, such as through the reporting of corrupt activities and participation in anti-corruption campaigns, can significantly contribute to strengthening anti-corruption efforts.

This study aims to analyze the influence of demographic factors on the compliance of income tax (PPh) reporting among elementary school teachers in Padang City. Compliance with income tax reporting is crucial in supporting a sound and fair tax system. The demographic factors examined in this study include age, education level, and length of teaching. These three factors were chosen because they have the potential to influence teachers' level of understanding and awareness regarding their tax obligations. A quantitative approach was used in this study using a survey method conducted in Padang City. Data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 39 respondents who were elementary school teachers in the area. The distributed questionnaires contained questions related to demographic factors and income tax reporting compliance. The collected data were then analyzed using a normality test and multiple linear regression to examine the influence of demographic factors on PPh reporting compliance. The results of the normality test showed that the data obtained were normally distributed, meaning the collected data could be used for further analysis. A multiple linear regression test was used to determine the simultaneous influence of demographic factors on PPh reporting compliance. The results of the analysis showed that demographic factors simultaneously had a significant effect on PPh reporting compliance among elementary school teachers in Padang City. This indicates that teachers' demographic characteristics, such as age, education level, and length of teaching, are closely related to their awareness of reporting income tax. Partially, the test results indicate that age and education level significantly influence compliance with income tax reporting. Older teachers tend to have a better understanding of tax obligations, while teachers with higher education levels are also more aware of the importance of reporting their taxes correctly.

This literature review investigates the influence of fair value accounting (FVA) on enhancing financial transparency, particularly within the evolving context of digital assets. By analyzing 103 peer-reviewed articles, the study evaluates how FVA facilitates automated, real-time, and market-based disclosures. It identifies FVA as a tool for increasing investor trust and improving the clarity of financial statements by aligning valuations with current market conditions. The review also highlights the specific challenges of applying FVA to decentralized and volatile digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Although FVA contributes to more transparent and relevant reporting, the implementation of FVA for digital assets is hindered by several critical issues. These include inconsistent valuation methodologies, lack of standardized regulatory guidance, susceptibility to market manipulation, and technological limitations in tracking asset value across decentralized platforms. Furthermore, the rapid pace of innovation in digital finance outstrips the adaptability of existing accounting standards and legal frameworks, creating a gap that weakens the consistency of fair value assessments. The review proposes the integration of FVA within a broader theory of decision-making under uncertainty, emphasizing the need for adaptive and digitization-responsive accounting practices. It suggests practical frameworks that align valuation procedures with the unique characteristics of digital assets while ensuring compliance with emerging regulations. This research encourages ongoing examination and policy innovation to ensure that FVA continues to support transparency and informed decision-making in a dynamic financial landscape.

This study aims to improve the performance of roadside supervision services for Baggage Towing Tractor (BTT) movements at Kualanamu International Airport, Deli Serdang. The research background is based on the high level of operational risk on the airside, which requires strict supervision of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) vehicles. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and field documentation. The results of the study indicate that violations of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) such as excessive speeding, inappropriate lane use, and compliance with procedures are still common. The main causes include lack of training, weak monitoring systems, and low awareness of safety culture. From the results of the observation, it was found that supervision is still manual and not optimally supported by monitoring technology such as CCTV with a real-time integration system. In addition, the number of supervisory personnel is also not able to cover the entire service area of the road which is quite extensive, especially during peak operating hours. The lack of a firm reward and punishment system also contributes to the low discipline of BTT drivers. Interviews with several BTT operators showed that they have not received regular safety training, and most do not understand the importance of complying with established signs or markings. Therefore, it is recommended that airport authorities implement a monitoring system through the use of sensor-based technology and GPS tracking, as well as increase the intensity of occupational safety training. Furthermore, a dedicated unit should be established to continuously monitor GSE movements and integrate a digital reporting system to ensure prompt action on violations. Improving safety culture can also be achieved through internal campaigns and ongoing outreach.

This study aims to improve the understanding of village asset management, reporting, and utilization among officials in Tapak Gedung, Bengkulu, Indonesia. Conducted through a community service program, it involved training and mentoring to enhance officials' capacity to manage village assets according to legal regulations. The program included workshops, discussions, and feedback to assess participants' understanding of asset management and its role in community welfare. The study found significant improvements in participants' knowledge and skills, particularly in managing and reporting village assets like land and buildings. The findings highlight that training in asset management and reporting is essential for promoting transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making in village governance. However, challenges such as limited infrastructure and varying participant comprehension were encountered. The study emphasizes the need for continued support and capacity-building for sustainable asset management in village development. It is limited to one village and does not address challenges faced by others in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the role of the Terminal Inspection Service (TIS) Unit in supervising landside facilities at Minangkabau International Airport. Landside facilities include passenger terminals, drop-off areas, parking lots, and other public spaces that serve as key interaction points between airport services and users. Effective supervision of these areas is essential to ensure safety, comfort, and order within the airport environment. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed in this research, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with TIS personnel and related stakeholders, as well as documentation analysis of existing regulations and supervision procedures.The findings reveal that the TIS Unit plays a strategic role in maintaining service quality and the security of landside facilities. This role is carried out through regular monitoring activities, early detection of potential disruptions, and the handling of various violations in public areas. However, the implementation of TIS duties still faces several challenges. These include limited personnel, which restricts comprehensive supervision of all areas; slow response from relevant units when operational issues are reported; and low discipline and compliance among service users, which further complicates enforcement efforts.To enhance the effectiveness of supervision, this study proposes several recommendations. These include strengthening inter-unit coordination within the airport, providing ongoing training for TIS personnel to improve competency and responsiveness, and implementing an integrated digital reporting system to streamline reporting and follow-up processes. Such measures are expected to support more optimal and sustainable supervision of landside facilities at the airport.

This study aims to analyze the development, effectiveness, challenges, and research gaps in the implementation of anti-corruption education globally during the 2015–2025 period. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, the study systematically identified, evaluated, and synthesized 37 peer-reviewed articles indexed in the Scopus database. The findings indicate a significant increase in both academic publications and the implementation of anti-corruption education programs worldwide. These programs adopt diverse approaches, including curriculum integration, the use of digital media, and participatory learning strategies. Evidence of program effectiveness is reflected in behavioral changes and long-term social impacts reported in several studies. However, the review also reveals persistent challenges: cultural (social norms tolerant of corruption), structural (absence of national standards or policy frameworks), and technical (limited access to technological infrastructure). Furthermore, the research landscape shows notable gaps, such as the lack of longitudinal studies, minimal focus on vulnerable groups (e.g., children with disabilities), and underutilization of emerging tools like artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics. Future research is recommended to adopt interdisciplinary perspectives, develop context-based learning modules, and leverage advanced technologies to enhance engagement and scalability. Overall, the findings highlight the urgency of implementing holistic and adaptive strategies to strengthen the role of education in combating corruption at various levels of society.

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.
