This article presents a theoretical review of the relationship between monetary policy and inflation rates in developing countries. High inflation remains a major challenge for developing economies due to global price fluctuations, import dependency, and weak domestic economic structures. Monetary policy instruments such as policy interest rates, open market operations, and reserve requirements play a vital role in controlling inflation, although their effectiveness is often hampered by shallow financial markets, low financial inclusion, and limited central bank credibility. Moreover, external factors such as imported inflation reduce the ability of monetary policy to maintain price stability. This study highlights the importance of digital innovation, including the use of big data, digital payment systems, and real-time analytics to enhance monetary policy effectiveness. It concludes that structural reforms, stronger central bank credibility, and strategic adoption of digital innovation are essential to achieve price stability and sustainable economic growth in the globalization era.

This study aims to examine and analyze, both partially and simultaneously, the influence of system knowledge, coworker support, and frequency of system usage on the effectiveness of computerized financial reporting and trust in the system. Furthermore, this research investigates the moderating role of trust in the system in the relationship between those three independent variables and reporting effectiveness. This study is considered novel as it incorporates three variables not previously explored in combination—particularly trust in the system as a moderating factor. The study was conducted on 391,500 employees from 94 banks across Indonesia, with a sample of 100 employees selected using Slovin’s formula. The independent variables in this research are system knowledge, coworker support, and frequency of system usage; the dependent variable is the effectiveness of computerized financial reporting; and the moderating variable is trust in the system. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, and data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that system knowledge, coworker support, and frequency of system usage each significantly affect both computerized financial reporting effectiveness and trust in the system. Trust in the system is also found to significantly impact the effectiveness of computerized financial reporting. Simultaneously, only system knowledge and usage frequency show a significant effect when trust in the system serves as a moderating variable, whereas coworker support does not exert a significant influence under the same condition.

Strengthening transparency and accountability in the financial management of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) is crucial in promoting good village governance. However, many BUMDes still face challenges such as weak record-keeping systems, the absence of internal audits, and limited human resource competencies in financial aspects. This community service activity aims to build an internal audit system as a strategy to improve the financial governance of BUMDes in Pematang Serai Village, Tanjung Pura Sub-District. The approach used is Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR), which emphasizes active community involvement throughout the process. The stages of the activity include problem identification, internal audit and basic accounting training, preparation of financial SOPs, implementation of the initial audit, and evaluation of the results. The results show that BUMDes administrators are able to independently conduct internal audits, compile cash reports and transaction documentation more systematically, and present the results in village deliberation forums. This activity also succeeded in increasing the capacity of administrators to compile simple digital reports using Excel. Community participation also encouraged the formation of a new culture that is more transparent and open to the process of managing village finances. This activity not only produced administrative outputs but also created institutional transformation that promotes more integrity-based BUMDes governance. The educational-participatory approach in internal audits has proven effective and is feasible to be replicated in other villages with similar conditions as part of efforts to strengthen good governance at the local level.

Macroeconomic uncertainty poses a structural challenge for the sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Fluctuations in inflation, benchmark interest rates, and exchange rates have a direct impact on liquidity, cost structures, and investment decisions. This study aims to explore the types of financial strategies adopted by MSMEs in response to macroeconomic pressures using a systematic literature review and secondary data analysis covering the period from 2019 to May 2024. Data were sourced from official national institutions, including the Central Bureau of Statistics, Bank Indonesia, the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSMEs, as well as relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that MSME financial strategies can be categorized into three key domains: cash management, cost control, and investment planning. MSMEs employing flexible strategies—such as increasing cash buffers, reducing operational costs, and diversifying products or financing sources—demonstrate higher resilience in the face of economic volatility. This study contributes theoretically by enriching the framework of financial adaptation for MSMEs and practically by informing financial literacy programs and policy design. The study also acknowledges limitations in the use of aggregate secondary data and recommends that future research adopt a mixed-method approach to capture undocumented informal financial practices at the grassroots level

Musyarakah Mutanaqisah (MMQ) is a form of sharia-based financing that offers a home ownership solution free from elements of interest (riba). This article aims to analyze the application of the MMQ contract in housing finance, compare it with the conventional mortgage scheme (Kredit Pemilikan Rumah/KPR), and evaluate its impact on community welfare. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review of academic sources, regulations, and other relevant data. The analysis shows that MMQ is superior in terms of compliance with Islamic principles, fairness in risk sharing, and flexibility in payment structure. Furthermore, the MMQ scheme contributes to the improvement of social and economic well-being, particularly for the lower-middleincome segment of society. Nevertheless, its implementation still faces challenges such as the risk of default and the need for strengthened risk management systems. Therefore, collaboration between Islamic financial j, the government, and the public is essential to optimize the potential of MMQ as a fair and sustainable alternative for home financing

In the digital economy era, financial transparency has become a critical aspect for the sustainability and credibility of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Despite their substantial contribution to employment and economic growth, many MSMEs in Indonesia still rely on manual accounting systems, which limit the accuracy and traceability of financial reporting. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of cloud-based accounting automation on financial transparency among Indonesian MSMEs. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research collected quantitative data from 120 MSME respondents in Jakarta and West Java through structured questionnaires and qualitative data from six key informants through semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using simple linear regression, resulting in a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.513 and a beta coefficient of 0.598 (p = 0.000), indicating a strong and significant influence of accounting automation on financial transparency. Qualitative findings also revealed improvements in real-time access, reporting accuracy, and transaction traceability. The study confirms that cloud-based digital accounting systems enhance financial transparency by enabling automated integration, audit trails, and timely reporting. These findings contribute to the literature on digital transformation in MSMEs and offer practical implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and software providers to accelerate technology adoption and improve financial governance in the MSME sector.

In the ever-evolving digital era, digital payment technology has increasingly become the preferred method for conducting financial transactions. This study aims to empirically examine the influence of perceived quality of accounting information systems, ease of use, and trust on the decision to use e-wallets in financial transactions. The sampling method employed in this study was non-probability sampling, specifically purposive sampling, with criteria set for selecting respondents, namely active accounting students from the 2021 cohort who are currently using or have previously used e-wallets for financial transactions. This research is grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Data were collected through a Google Form, yielding 252 valid responses. The data were then analyzed using SPSS Statistics 26. The results show that perceived quality of accounting information systems, ease of use, and trust have a positive influence on the decision to use e-wallets. This indicates that the higher the perceived quality of accounting information systems, ease of use, and trust felt by students in using e-wallets, the more likely they are to decide to use e-wallets in their financial transactions.

Agroforestry is also a form of sustainable agriculture model. Agroforestry systems are formed of three main components, namely forestry, agriculture, and livestock. The agrosilvopastura system is the combination of woody components (forestry) with agriculture (annuals) as well as livestock on the same land management unit. The priority order of the most important alternative options for sustainable agriculture includes strengthening farmer institutions, developing a cadre of farmers/farmer groups aware of sustainable agriculture, and increasing demonstration activities for sustainable agricultural technology. Financial analysis shows that all agroforestry systems are economically viable, and agrosilvopastura provides the most inputs compared to agrosilnikultur and silvopastura. Erosion that occurs on agroforestry land agroforestry, especially agrosilvoculture in the buffer zone of Southeast Aceh District is not harmful because it is smaller than the allowable erosion (<30.6 tons/ha/yr). The total biomass and carbon of stands in agroforestry systems with agrosilvopastura type of 103.17 and 46.74 tons per hectare, respectively, are similar to the total biomass and carbon of stands in mangrove forests. carbon in Rhizophora apiculata mangrove forest with a density of 463 trees per hectare, which were 169.46 (biomass) and 47.08 (carbon) tons per hectare, respectively. Agrosilvopastura systems can play a role in mitigating floods compared to monoculture farming systems for each hectare of land for every 1 hour of work.

Digital transformation has brought significant changes to the payment system in Indonesia, shifting from cash-based transactions to non-cash payment methods. This study aims to examine the role and policies of Bank Indonesia in supporting the use of technology through digital payment systems. The method used is descriptive qualitative, relying on secondary data from various credible sources. The findings indicate that Bank Indonesia has taken strategic steps through policies such as the implementation of QRIS, the development of BI-FAST, the National Standard for Open API Payments (SNAP), and the Digital Rupiah initiative. These policies have successfully strengthened the national payment system by providing services that are fast, secure, accessible, and support the expansion of financial inclusion. However, challenges remain, particularly in terms of user data protection and the need for regulations that are responsive to technological developments. The results highlight the importance of adaptive policies and cross-sector collaboration in creating an efficient and sustainable digital payment system.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of online attendance systems in enhancing employee discipline at the Bali Province Regional Revenue Agency. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using George C. Edward III’s implementation theory, which encompasses four key indicators: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings reveal that communication has been effective, characterized by clear and consistent information delivery, thereby reducing employee resistance. While human and financial resources are adequate, the limited availability of supporting facilities hinders optimal implementation. In terms of disposition, employees demonstrate strong commitment and integrity in utilizing the attendance application. The bureaucratic structure has also been appropriately followed, aligning with the usage guidelines set by the Bali Province Office of Communication, Informatics, and Statistics. The study recommends improvements such as enhancing internet infrastructure, increasing supporting facilities, and providing printed user manuals to optimize the implementation of the online attendance system.

Sustainable development in coastal areas requires collaborative governance involving multiple stakeholders, including government, private sector, and communities. Makassar, as a major coastal city in Eastern Indonesia, faces significant challenges in implementing sustainable development programs in its coastal areas.This study examines the influence of collaborative governance on the success of sustainable development programs in Makassar's coastal areas, with a focus on accountability mechanisms and stakeholder engagement processes.This research employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and qualitative analysis through in-depth interviews with 150 respondents from government agencies, private sector, NGOs, and local communities. Data were collected from January to October 2024 in four coastal sub-districts of Makassar.The study reveals that collaborative governance significantly influences the success of sustainable development programs (β = 0.687, p < 0.001). Key mediating factors include transparency in resource allocation (β = 0.445, p < 0.01), community participation in decision-making (β = 0.523, p < 0.001), and integrated monitoring systems (β = 0.398, p < 0.05). Effective collaborative governance enhances sustainable development program outcomes through improved accountability, resource efficiency, and stakeholder satisfaction. The findings suggest that formal collaboration frameworks and transparent financial reporting mechanisms are critical success factors.

The advancement of information technology has significantly transformed modern audit practices, particularly in inventory audits. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Audit Tools and Linked Archive Sistem (ATLAS) application on the effectiveness and efficiency of inventory audits in the digital era. A qualitative approach was employed through observation and interviews with auditors who utilize ATLAS in their audit procedures. The findings indicate that ATLAS improves audit speed, enhances documentation, and supports the accuracy and transparency of financial reporting. Despite challenges such as limited client system integration and auditor adaptation, internal training and data digitization strategies prove to be effective solutions. Thus, ATLAS serves not only as a documentation tool but also as a system that strengthens the overall quality and accountability of inventory audits.

The school uniform policy is part of the broader education policy aimed at instilling the values of nationalism, social equality, discipline, and fostering a spirit of unity among students. However, in its implementation in Pekanbaru City various issues are still found, such as the financial burden placed on parents for purchasing uniforms, lack of transparency from schools, and suboptimal parental involvement and supervision by the education office. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive phenomenology approach. The research refers to the policy implementation theory of Yulianto Kadji, namely the MSN Approach (Mentality-Approach, System-Approach, and Networking-Approach). Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. Informants included representatives from the Pekanbaru City Education Office, school principals, and parents. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the school uniform policy in Pekanbaru City has not been optimal. From the mentality approach, there are still objections from parents regarding the cost of uniforms and limited understanding of the policy regulations. From the systems perspective, regulations are not consistently enforced by schools, including a lack of prioritization for underprivileged students and the absence of strict sanctions for policy violations. Meanwhile, from the networking approach, parental involvement and the role of school committees in decision-making remain weak, resulting in the lack of effective strategic partnerships between schools, parents, and the education office.

In line with the rapid advancement of digital technology, the need for an efficient, integrated, and technology-based financial management system has become  critical, particularly for educational institutions such as STT-NF. The manual management of financial reports, especially cash flow statements used spreadsheets continues to pose significant challenges, including the risk of data entry errors, delayed reporting, and the lack of real-time visibility into the institution's financial condition. This study aims to develop a web application for cash flow monitoring system using the waterfall methodology to address these issues. The waterfall model was selected due to its systematic and structured approach. The system was developed using ReactJS for the frontend, NodeJS for the backend, and PostgreSQL as the database management system. To verify system functionality, testing was conducted using the black box testing method. The results of the testing indicate that all developed features of the cash flow monitoring system functioned according to the specified requirements and operated optimally. Therefore, the system is expected to provide tangible benefits in supporting the performance of the Finance Department at STT-NF as well as the foundation, by enhancing real-time financial visibility and delivering accurate information to facilitate faster & more informed decision-making.

This study examines the legal protections and enforcement mechanisms against securities dilution in technology‐sector issuers adopting multiple voting rights stock classifications following an initial public offering (IPO) under Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority Regulation No. 22/POJK.04/2021. It addresses two core issues: the adequacy of minority shareholder safeguards embedded within the regulatory framework and the nature and extent of share dilution experienced by existing investors in dual‐class structures. Employing a normative legal research design with a doctrinal approach, the analysis draws on primary sources including UU No. 40/2007, UU No. 4/2023, POJK 22/POJK.04/2021, issuer prospectuses, and PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia’s 2022–2024 annual reports complemented by secondary literature and tertiary legal references. Findings reveal that POJK 22/POJK.04/2021 integrates quantitative limits (a 90 percent cap on aggregate superior voting rights), procedural safeguards (minimum 5 percent ordinary‐shareholder quorum and independent renewal approval), temporal constraints (10‐year sunset clause), and one‐share‐one‐vote requirements for critical corporate actions, alongside a novel graduated voting ratio system. The GoTo case study underscores persistent misalignment between cash‐flow and voting rights, marked by significant share price volatility and reliance on share buybacks rather than dilutive issuances. While the regulatory framework is comprehensive, its efficacy is contingent on robust enforcement, transparency of indirect ownership, and institutional maturity. Empirical evaluation of post‐IPO dilution events, minority litigation outcomes, and enforcement actions is recommended to assess real‐world impacts.

This study discusses the importance of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in improving the economy in Indonesia, but MSMEs often face challenges in improving financial performance in the digital era. Digitalization through e-commerce, a strong organizational culture, and the use of accounting information systems are key factors in improving the financial performance of MSMEs. This study aims to analyze the influence of e-commerce, organizational culture, and the use of accounting information systems on financial performance in MSMEs in Kediri City, as well as provide recommendations for MSME actors to improve financial performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with a sampling technique using the slovin formula with a sample of 100 respondents, namely MSME actors registered at DINKOP UMTK Kediri City, and data is collected through questionnaires. The analysis techniques used are validity test, reliability test, classical assumption test, multiple linear regression test, determinant coefficient test, t test, and F test.    

This study discusses the application of inventory accounting in micro-enterprises, particularly at Toko Benih Tamban Tani, located in Kedawung Village, Mojo District. The main issue addressed is the suboptimal recording and calculation of inventory costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). As a vital component of business operations, inventory should be managed systematically to accurately reflect the financial position and support operational efficiency. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and the collection and analysis of relevant documents, complemented by quantitative calculations using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method to assess purchasing efficiency. The analysis aimed to describe current practices and compare them to the standards set forth in SAK EMKM. The findings indicate that inventory recording is still performed manually without a formal accounting format, and several operational costs such as shipping fees, electricity, and other supporting expenses have not been included in the calculation of the cost of goods sold. Additionally, based on EOQ analysis, the actual purchasing frequency is higher than the optimal amount, indicating inefficiencies in inventory procurement.

Financing in the health sector plays an important role in ensuring the sustainability of hospital operations and the provision of quality health services. Structured and efficient financing planning contributes greatly to improving the health of the community. However, in practice, it is not uncommon to find problems due to weak financial planning, such as budget limitations that have an impact on the low quality of health services and waste due to inappropriate spending. To overcome these problems, strategic steps are needed, including through increasing funding, more accountable management and allocation of funds, and controlling service costs. Thus, the issue of health financing has a significant influence on the quality of public health and is an important part of the development of the national health system.

The complexity of the financial services sector necessitates effective dispute resolution mechanisms. This study analyzes the implementation of financial services dispute mediation by OJK DIY under OJK Regulation No. 1/LAPS-SJK/I/2021 and explores procedural constraints. An empirical juridical method with qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews with OJK DIY officials and consumers utilizing mediation services, supplemented by secondary data from official documents and related regulations analyzed descriptively. Findings reveal a low mediation success rate of 18.67% from 2,501 complaints in 2023 with an average resolution duration of 10 working days. Primary obstacles include digital gaps in service access, insufficient legal and financial literacy among the public, bargaining power disparities between consumers and financial institutions, and limited program socialization. The research recommends transforming OJK DIY's mediation system through enhanced digital access, strengthened consumer education, equalized bargaining positions, and intensified socialization. This study contributes to developing more efficient and equitable dispute resolution policies and provides strategic recommendations for improving consumer protection in Indonesia's financial services sector.

This study aims to examine the role of the Enterprise Resource Planning system in improving the quality of corporate financial reports. Accurate, relevant, and timely financial reports are the main key to effective decision making by management and stakeholders. However, many companies, especially in Indonesia, still face obstacles in preparing financial reports due to manual processes that are prone to errors, information delays, and lack of data integration. The Enterprise Resource Planning system as an integrated information technology solution is expected to be able to overcome these problems by automating business processes and providing data in real time. The research method used is a literature review that examines various sources of scientific literature related to the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning and its impact on the quality of financial reports. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning significantly improves the accuracy, efficiency, relevance, and timeliness of financial report preparation, while supporting data transparency and accountability. Constraints such as limited human resources, implementation costs, and resistance to change remain challenges that must be managed properly. This study concludes that Enterprise Resource Planning has a strategic role in improving the quality of financial reports and is an important investment for companies that want to increase their competitiveness and effectiveness of financial management in the digital era.
