This studyaims to examine the economic activities of low-income communities and identify factors that influence these activities in Tamaila Utara Village,Tolangohula Sub-district,Gorontalo Regency. The study employed a qualitative method using a systematic approach. Data collection techniques included observation, interview, and source triangulation.Data analysis involved data reduction followed by drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that most low-income residents in Tamaila Utara rely on agriculture, particularly corn farming, as their primary livelihood. Farming activities are supported by family members due to limited financial capacity to hire labor, and the tools used are still very simple or traditional. For crop distribution,the community depends on local traders who offer prices significantly lower than market rates, due to limited transportation access to larger markets. In terms of consumption,residents can only meet their basic needs, with low nutritional intake due to minimal income. Other challenges to improving the local economy include water scarcity during the dry season, low educational attainment among farmers,lack of government-provided training, and unpredictable weather and environmental conditions. Therefore,government support is urgently needed,such as irrigation development, agricultural training, and the provision of modern tools or technology to enhance community welfare in the future.

This study identifies and validates critical risk factors in storage tank construction projects through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and expert judgment using Aiken’s V method. Initially, 103 journal articles were screened, with 43 selected for in-depth analysis, revealing 33 causal factors and six key risk categories. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving industry professionals (project managers, QA personnel, safety officers) enriched the findings by incorporating practical insights missing in academic literature. Eight experts then evaluated these factors using Aiken’s V, validating 13 causal factors and four risk factors as highly significant. Key causal factors included Structure Design, Material Delivery, and Foundation Design, while major risk factors were financial loss, non-compliance, workplace accidents, and poor-quality outcomes. The study establishes a structured risk model for storage tank projects, supporting future quantitative risk analysis and mitigation strategies.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the growth of digital payment systems has affected Indonesia's financial system and rupiah stability. More people are using digital payment methods like e-money, credit cards, debit cards, RTGS, and QRIS as a result of technical advancements. Additionally, Bank Indonesia still encourages the adoption of digital payment methods to speed up, secure, and streamline transactions. The Two Stage Least Squares (TSLS) method is used in this study's simultaneous regression model, which employs secondary data from 2020 to 2024. The findings indicate that while inflation has a positive but negligible impact on the exchange rate, the use of credit cards and RTGS has a considerable positive impact. In the meantime, debit cards and e-money significantly reduce inflation. Inflation is significantly reduced by QRIS and the exchange rate. In order to maintain Indonesia's economic stability, it is crucial to keep enhancing literacy and security when using digital payment methods.

The National Health Insurance (JKN) program, managed by BPJS Kesehatan, has formed strategic partnerships with micro and small enterprises (MSEs) to support the national healthcare service ecosystem. However, the accumulation of unsettled receivables from BPJS to its MSE partners has created significant challenges to the financial stability of this sector. Based on 2023 data, over 449,000 micro and small businesses were recorded as having outstanding receivables, with a total value exceeding IDR 2 trillion. This study adopts a descriptive quantitative approach to examine the impact of these receivables on the liquidity, solvency, and productivity of MSEs. The findings reveal that although most receivables are classified as “current,” payment delays continue to disrupt cash flow, reduce production capacity, and increase the risk of default. The analysis is grounded in the theoretical frameworks of receivables management, cash flow theory, institutional economics, and the strategic contribution of MSEs to national GDP. The results highlight the urgent need for payment system reform within BPJS, the provision of short-term financial facilities, and the implementation of delay compensation policies to ensure the sustainability of Indonesia’s micro and small enterprise sector.

This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach that aims to systematically describe the procedure for purchasing raw materials on credit at PT Bernofarm Pharmaceutical Company. The study focuses on various stages of purchasing, coordination between related departments (such as PPIC, purchasing, QC, warehouse, and accounting), and the use of documents and recording tools such as Microsoft Excel and ERP systems. This study is motivated by the importance of implementing standard purchasing procedures to ensure smooth production processes, accuracy of debt recording, and quality of raw materials. Primary data were obtained through direct observation during internship activities and unstructured interviews with management, especially the accounting department. Meanwhile, secondary data were obtained through a review of relevant literature to strengthen the analysis and discussion. The analysis technique was carried out qualitatively through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the procedure for purchasing raw materials on credit at PT Bernofarm is in line with the principles of internal control based on the COSO framework and meets applicable quality management standards, such as GMP/CPOB and ISO. Each stage from supplier evaluation, quality inspection, to debt repayment shows orderly and documented control. Thus, the procedures implemented support the operational effectiveness and integrity of the company's financial data.

This study aims to examine the role of bank account vouching procedures in maintaining the integrity of financial statements through a case study of MBKM Internship Mandiri program activities. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data were obtained from observation of recording and verification of financial transactions, documentation of supporting documents, and interviews with finance, accounting, and taxation staff. Data analysis techniques were carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that vouching is carried out systematically starting from the collection of General Ledger data, matching documents such as vouchers, transfer receipts, bank statements, and budgets, to the preparation of daily bank statements. The discussion shows that the vouching procedure functions not only as a technical control, but also as a strategic measure that strengthens transparency, accuracy of records, and compliance with accounting and taxation principles. Vouching supports documentation completeness and audit readiness, and is an important part of an effective internal control system. It has been shown to improve the accuracy of records and transparency of financial statements, while supporting the company's internal control function. This research confirms the importance of vouching as an effective preventive procedure in the financial control system

This study aims to analyze the determinants of the quality of government financial reports with a focus on the role of human resource (HR) competency through a systematic literature review. Based on the analysis of 10 selected articles, it was found that HR competency has a variety of influences on the quality of financial reports, ranging from significant positive to insignificant, depending on the context and moderating variables. Several studies have shown that human resource competency has a direct or indirect effect through mediators such as information quality or internal control systems. On the other hand, other studies have revealed that factors such as information technology, accounting systems, and internal control often have a more dominant impact. These findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach that combines improving HR competency with strengthening supporting systems to achieve optimal financial report quality. The implications of this research can be a reference for the government and stakeholders in designing effective HR development and financial governance policies.

The objective of this study is to examine and compare the financial performance of Islamic banks and conventional banks in Indonesia during the 2019–2023 period. This research is motivated by the rapid growth of the Islamic banking industry; however, its market share remains relatively small compared to conventional banks. The study evaluates various financial ratio indicators, including Return on Assets (ROA), Net Interest Margin (NIM), Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), BOPO, Non-Performing Loans (NPL), and Non-Performing Financing (NPF), using a quantitative approach and comparative method. Data were collected from the annual financial reports of several major banks selected through purposive sampling. The results of the analysis indicate that conventional banks generally outperform in terms of profitability and operational efficiency, as reflected in the ROA and BOPO ratios. On the other hand, Islamic banks demonstrate more stable financing quality and liquidity, as indicated by relatively stable NPF and FDR ratios. These performance differences stem from the distinct operational principles of the two banking systems: interest-based operations for conventional banks and profit-sharing principles for Islamic banks. The study concludes that a more comprehensive evaluation method, integrating both sharia compliance and financial elements, is essential to provide a fair and accurate assessment of bank performance. The findings are expected to be valuable for regulators, academics, and industry practitioners in formulating policies that support a more inclusive and sustainable banking system.

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.

The development of digital technology has brought various innovations to the financial system, one of which is sharia crowdfunding. As a form of technology-based fundraising based on sharia principles, this mechanism aims to avoid elements of usury, gharar, and maysir which are prohibited in Islam. This article discusses the legal aspects and operational mechanisms of sharia crowdfunding from the perspective of Islamic law and regulations in Indonesia. By using a qualitative research method based on literature analysis, sharia crowdfunding has a strong legal basis through the fatwa of the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) and the regulations of the Financial Services Authority (OJK). In practice, sharia crowdfunding uses various contracts such as mudharabah, musyarakah, and wakalah bil ujrah to ensure fair and transparent transactions. Although it has promising prospects, challenges such as lack of sharia financial literacy, limited specific regulations, and digital security aspects are still major obstacles in its implementation. Therefore, collaboration between regulators, industry players, and the community is needed to encourage a more inclusive and sustainable sharia crowdfunding ecosystem.  

This study uses a qualitative method and aims to dissect the differences between Islamic economics and conventional economics. This study found that Islamic economics is based on Islamic principles reflected in the Qur’an and Hadith, emphasizing social justice, balance, and avoiding elements of usury, gharar, and maysir in every economic activity. Meanwhile, conventional economics is based on the principles of a market economy that aims to maximize material profits without considering spiritual or moral aspects. The source of conventional economic law comes from rules made by humans, while Islamic economics refers to the law of Allah. The Islamic financial system uses profit- sharing mechanisms and halal investments, while the conventional system relies on interest as the main source of income. In addition, Islamic economics integrates social instruments such as zakat, infaq, and sedekah for wealth redistribution, while conventional economics emphasizes taxes and government policies. Thus, this study confirms that the fundamental differences between the two systems lie in their philosophical foundations, objectives, and operational mechanisms.  

In many developing countries today, the capitalist economic system still dominates. Not infrequently, this system causes various problems when applied in the governance of a country's economy. These problems generally arise because policies, regulations, and public financial management have not been directed at the principles of Islamic economics (sharia). In fact, the public economic system based on sharia provides guarantees for the fulfillment of state needs (income) and people's needs (expenditure). In addition, the rampant practice of misappropriation such as fraud and corruption has also caused the loss of public trust in public economic management. This condition contributes to the economic crisis and exacerbates the suffering of the people. Therefore, to solve these problems, the government needs to adopt a public economic concept based on Islamic values, because this system has been proven to be able to encourage justice and improve social welfare. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The findings in the study indicate that there are various sources of income in the Islamic economy that can be utilized as public finances, such as Ghanimah, Fa'i, Jizyah, Kharaj, Waqf, Nawaib, Zakat, Infak, Sedekah, and 'Usr. Meanwhile, state expenditure is allocated to fulfill basic community needs, state defense and administration, education, social security, and development of infrastructure and public facilities.   Keywords: Capitalism, Economic system, Public sector In many developing countries today, the capitalist economic system still dominates.

This study analyzes the judicial reasoning in a cumulative family law case involving a wife’s petition for divorce and child custody due to her husband’s failure to provide financial support. Using a normative-empirical legal research method, the research focuses on case No. 5139/Pdt.G/2020/PA.Tgrs at the Tangerang Religious Court. The findings reveal that the court acknowledged economic neglect as a legitimate ground for divorce and upheld maternal custody for the underage child based on Article 105 of the Compilation of Islamic Law. The judge’s decision also reflected a balanced approach between formal legal provisions and Islamic ethical principles such as maslahah (public interest) and justice. This dual reasoning framework enhances both the legal legitimacy and moral authority of the religious courts. The research contributes to the discourse on integrated legal reasoning in pluralistic systems and highlights the importance of protecting women and children's rights in family law proceedings.

Securities companies are one of the key pillars in the capital market system. The performance of securities companies can be influenced by dynamic market conditions, particularly the fluctuations of Bitcoin, Indonesia Composite Index (ICI), and gold prices. This study aims to analyze the influence of Bitcoin, ICI, and gold prices on the financial performance of securities companies in Indonesia. The financial performance is measured using the profitability ratio, Net Profit Margin (NPM). The sample consists of quarterly secondary data from 24 securities companies that meet the research criteria during the 2021–2024 period. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression after passing classical assumption tests. The results show that gold prices have a negative and significant effect on the NPM of securities companies, while Bitcoin and ICI had no effect. This indicates that an increase in gold prices tends to be followed by a decrease in the NPM of securities companies, and vice versa. This research is expected to assist the management of securities companies in formulating business strategies and risk management that are more responsive to fluctuations in Bitcoin, ICI, and gold prices.  

This study investigates the influence of village government human resource (HR) competence and information technology (IT) utilization on the accountability of village fund management, with empirical evidence drawn from villages in Pringsewu Regency, Indonesia. The research addresses critical concerns about the underperformance and misuse of village funds, often linked to weak HR capabilities and limited IT adoption. The primary objective is to examine how HR competence and IT usage affect financial accountability in village fund management. Utilizing a quantitative approach, this study surveyed 91 village officials across 13 villages using a structured questionnaire, applying multiple linear regression analysis for hypothesis testing. Findings reveal that both HR competence and IT utilization significantly and positively influence accountability, suggesting that skilled personnel and effective use of digital systems enhance transparency and financial governance. The results support the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and stewardship theory, emphasizing the importance of reliable personnel and technological systems in public financial management. The study concludes that strengthening human resource capacity and advancing IT infrastructure are critical steps in ensuring accountable village fund management, especially in rapidly developing regions such as Pringsewu Regency.

Improving financial management effectiveness in cooperatives, particularly Savings and Loans Cooperatives, can be better achieved through the implementation of an accounting information system. The effectiveness of an accounting information system refers to the extent to which the system can collect, process, store data, and provide information and reports in a timely manner. This study aims to examine the influence of personal technical skills, management participation, and the utilization of information technology on the effectiveness of accounting information systems. The sample consisted of 118 cooperative employees who use information systems in their daily work, selected using a purposive sampling method. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire, and the analytical technique used was multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that personal technical skills, management participation, and the utilization of information technology have a significant positive effect on the effectiveness of accounting information systems. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which explains that the acceptance of a technology is mainly influenced by two key factors: perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness.  

This article discusses the profit-sharing system as one of the main pillars in Islamic economics, focusing on its ideal concept, implementation, challenges, and development opportunities in Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia. This system is based on the principles of justice, partnership, and shared responsibility through mudharabah and musyarakah contracts. Although normatively acknowledged and regulated by Islamic finance fatwas and regulations, its practical application still faces various obstacles such as low Islamic financial literacy, weak supervision, and the dominance of fixed-margin-based products. Nevertheless, digital technology development, the potential of the MSME sector, and the strengthening of Islamic financial regulations and education provide significant opportunities to promote transformation toward a more inclusive and just financial system. Therefore, synergy among financial institutions, regulators, and society is required to optimally realize the implementation of the profit-sharing system in Islamic economic practices.

This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of green accounting at Polrestabes Palembang and its impact on sustainable environmental management. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation for data collection. The findings revealed that green accounting practices at Polrestabes Palembang were not yet fully integrated into the institution’s financial accounting system. Environmental costs were still recorded under general operational expenses without specific classifications, and there was no systematic measurement or disclosure in accordance with environmental accounting principles. However, several positive initiatives existed, such as energy efficiency, greening efforts, waste management, and food security programs. The study recommends strengthening environmental cost recording systems, integrating data across departments, and providing training to enhance understanding of green accounting. Effective implementation of green accounting is expected to improve transparency, accountability, and institutional legitimacy in supporting sustainable development.

This article explores the strategic role of management accounting in supporting the implementation of effective corporate governance. In today’s complex and dynamic business environment, management accounting functions not only as an internal financial recording tool but also as a provider of relevant information for decision-making, control, and strategic planning. Using a literature review approach, this study identifies the contributions of management accounting in enhancing investment efficiency, promoting transparency through responsibility accounting, strengthening internal audit functions, and reducing information asymmetry. The integration between management accounting systems and Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles has been proven to create synergy in both operational management and strategic oversight. The findings indicate that a well-structured, transparent, and governance-oriented management accounting system serves as a fundamental pillar for building accountable and sustainable organizations.
