Limited legal literacy among village officials may contribute to disorderly village administration, inconsistent document formats, weak record-keeping, and poor archive traceability, ultimately affecting public service quality. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) aimed to strengthen the legal literacy of village officials in Larangan Luar Village, Pamekasan Regency, to improve orderly and accountable village administrative governance. The program applied a hands-on training model combined with mentoring/document clinics and a pretest–posttest evaluation involving village officials (n = 18). Implementation consisted of three core training sessions and two mentoring sessions over four weeks, focusing on document legality, official correspondence standards, numbering and registers, and basic archive management. Results showed an increase in the average legal literacy score from 54.1 (pretest) to 74.6 (posttest), an improvement of 20.5 points. Beyond knowledge gains, document quality and administrative order improved through the adoption of practical administrative tools developed during the program. Key outputs included a concise module (±22 pages), 10 village administrative document templates, one village administrative SOP, and a simple filing system based on document classification and folder numbering. In conclusion, strengthening village officials’ legal literacy through practice-based training and mentoring effectively supports improvements in village administrative governance and is potentially replicable in other villages in Pamekasan with context-specific adjustments.

This study aims to analyze the influence of auditor competence, independence, and the use of audit technology on the quality of internal audits of Regional Inspectorates and their impact on the accountability of regional financial governance. Using a quantitative approach, this study involved 154 internal auditors from three regions who were analyzed using an explanatory survey method. The data analysis method used was multiple and simple linear regression to test the relationship between variables. The results showed that auditor competence had a positive and dominant influence on internal audit quality (β = 0.402, p = 0.000), independence also had a positive influence (β = 0.298, p = 0.000), while the use of audit technology had a limited positive influence (β = 0.187, p = 0.011). Furthermore, audit quality was proven to have a significant influence on the accountability of regional financial governance with a value of β = 0.588 and R² = 0.531. These findings confirm that better internal audit quality, influenced by higher auditor competence, strong independence, and more optimal utilization of audit technology, is a key prerequisite for achieving accountability in regional financial governance.

Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) are a strategic instrument in promoting village economic independence and increasing Village Original Income (PAD). However, in practice, BUMDes management still faces various governance issues, particularly related to human resource capacity, business innovation, and public accountability and trust. This study aims to analyze the acceleration of BUMDes governance from a Reinventing Government perspective through a comparative study between BUMDes in rural and urban areas. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-comparative approach. Data collection techniques are carried out through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The research locations include BUMDes in Paan Leleng Village, Kota Komba Utara District, East Manggarai Regency as a representative of rural villages, and BUMDes in Golo Bilas Village, Komodo District, West Manggarai Regency as a representative of urban villages. The research results indicate that the implementation of Reinventing Government principles in the governance of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in both villages has been successful, but not yet optimal. The BUMDes in Golo Bilas Village has advantages in market access, business potential, and innovation, but still faces challenges in accountability and public trust. Meanwhile, the BUMDes in Paan Leleng Village demonstrates strong community participation and social values, but is hampered by limited human resources, technology, and business diversification. Accelerating BUMDes governance requires institutional strengthening, increased managerial capacity, business innovation, and the implementation of governance that is oriented towards results and community needs.

Traditional snack micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia face increasing market competition and rapidly changing consumer preferences, particularly among younger consumers seeking innovative and symbolic food experiences. This community engagement study aims to strengthen the profitability and sustainability of traditional snack MSMEs by integrating local flavor innovation with simple business governance practices. Using a participatory action research approach under the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program in Palangka Raya, this study involved co-creation between students and local entrepreneurs in product development, production standardization, and basic financial management. Qualitative data were collected through participatory observation and stakeholder discussions, while quantitative data were obtained from sales records and simple financial reports. The results demonstrate that local flavor-based innovation, combined with standardized operating procedures and cost control mechanisms, improved product differentiation, operational efficiency, and financial performance. The intervention generated a positive net profit and strengthened the partner’s capacity for independent business management. This study contributes to the literature by positioning traditional food MSMEs as sites of cultural innovation and micro-governance, while supporting Sustainable Development Goals related to inclusive economic growth, cultural preservation, and responsible production.

This study aims to analyze the strengthening of higher education governance in realizing transparent and accountable academic services. In the context of the globalization of higher education and increasing public accountability demands, universities are required not only to excel academically but also to provide services that are open, responsive, and accountable. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies involving university leaders, academic administrators, lecturers, and students. Data analysis was conducted interactively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.

Accountability has been supported by standard operating procedures and service evaluations, although performance measurement based on indicators has not been fully integrated. Stakeholder participation has been facilitated through evaluation forums, but involvement in strategic decision-making remains limited. Overall, the dimensions of transparency, accountability, participation, effectiveness, and responsibility are interrelated in shaping the quality of academic services. This study emphasizes that strengthening governance must be systemically internalized within organizational culture and institutional operational systems to enhance trust and stakeholder satisfaction.

Public health administration plays a strategic role in strengthening primary health care governance amid increasingly complex health system challenges. This study aimed to synthesize recent evidence on the development, challenges, and implications of public health administration during the period 2020–2025. A literature review with a systematic approach was conducted by analyzing peer-reviewed articles retrieved from major scientific databases and selected through a PRISMA 2020 flow process. The findings indicate that effective public health administration—characterized by strong governance, adaptive leadership, and the integration of digital health information systems—contributes to improved performance of primary health care services in terms of service quality, efficiency, and sustainability. However, the review also reveals persistent gaps, particularly the limited empirical evidence examining causal relationships between administrative capacity and health service performance, as well as challenges related to human resource readiness and data governance in digital transformation. These findings highlight the need to strengthen administrative capacity, leadership competencies, and integrated information systems to support resilient primary health care. The study provides theoretical and practical implications for policymakers, health managers, and researchers in advancing public health administration toward more effective and sustainable health systems.

The UNAMA Library employs information systems to enhance its academic services. Nevertheless, its administrative framework continues to encounter obstacles, such as inadequate service system support for users, constrained resources allocated for the management and upkeep of the system, an absence of standardized protocols for addressing technical challenges, and insufficient assessment system efficacy. If these issues remain unaddressed, the operational effectiveness of the library information system will be compromised, thereby thwarting the objective of delivering dependable information services. This investigation seeks to illuminate the maturity level of information system governance as delineated by COBIT 2019 within the Decision Support Systems (DSS) domain, specifically focusing on the DSS01 (Manage Operations) and DSS02 (Manage Service Requests and Incidents) processes. The findings suggest that the degree of information system governance capability the UNAMA Library is situated at the Established Process level (level 3), signifying that the process has undergone implementation; however, it has yet to be comprehensively documented and consistently evaluated. Moreover, a disparity persists between the existing state and the anticipated capability level of the organization, particularly concerning IT operations management, the standardization incident handling, and the documentation of operational procedures. An elucidation of the expected level is articulated, especially in terms of operational standards, incident documentation, and IT infrastructure oversight. Recommendations encompass the formulation of standard operating procedures (SOPs), the enhancement of documentation practices, and periodic assessments grounded in COBIT 2019. These findings are anticipated to assist libraries in augmenting the efficacy of information systems governance and the quality of IT services.

Oil and natural gas are vital resources for the state, and their management must be carried out carefully and transparently. However, the complexity of existing management is often exploited by irresponsible parties to commit corruption that harms state finances. This study aims to analyze how criminal law regulates the accountability of perpetrators in the oil management corruption case at Pertamina in 2025. The method used is normative juridical, by reviewing laws and regulations regarding corruption, state-owned enterprises (BUMN), and related legal literature. The results of the study indicate that criminal liability in this case is not only directed at individual officials, but also corporations or companies. This is because the element of mens rea (malicious intent) was found in the act. Therefore, law enforcement must focus more on recovering state losses and improving Pertamina's internal oversight system, rather than simply imprisoning the perpetrators.

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.
