This study aims to analyze how digitalization of governance, particularly through the implementation of e-financial reporting, digital audit trails, and cloud-based data security and reliability systems, contributes to increased transparency, accountability, and data protection in educational institutions. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, this study reveals that digitalization can create a more objective, standardized, and difficult-to-manipulate control mechanism. The e-financial reporting system strengthens transparency through open processes and reduces opportunities for irregularities. Digital audit trails provide authentic evidence that facilitates the process of verification, monitoring, and tracking every administrative activity in real time. Meanwhile, data security supported by layered encryption, automatic backups, and emergency recovery access increases internal and external trust in the integrity of information systems. These findings indicate that digitalization not only provides technical tools but also forms a more disciplined, adaptive, and public accountability-oriented governance structure. This study broadens understanding of the relationship between digital technology and organizational culture and provides a theoretical foundation for developing a more reliable and sustainable information system-based educational governance model.  

This literature study evaluates the accuracy of the Slope Mass Rating (SMR) method for coal mine slope stability in Indonesia through a systematic descriptive synthesis of 25 empirical studies from 2020 to 2025. The objectives of the study were to identify the level of SMR prediction accuracy, factors affecting the method's performance, and modifications required for local Indonesian conditions. The research method involved a systematic search with inclusion criteria for empirical studies reporting SMR and/or Safety Factor (SF) values ​​for coal mines and associated slopes in Indonesia. Quantitative analysis showed a range of reported SMR values ​​between 41 and 96 with a median of 72, while SF values ​​ranged from 1.137 to 4.09 for normal operational conditions. The synthesis results indicated that SMR provides a consistent stability classification for initial slope design and failure mode identification (planar, wedge, toppling), with historical validation showing a correlation of up to 91.23% between SMR-based hazard zoning and actual field events in some cases. Key limitations include dependence on discontinuity data quality, sensitivity to groundwater conditions and tropical weathering, and variation in the interpretation of adjustment factors F1-F4. Modifications such as NAAF23 and integration with numerical modeling have been shown to improve prediction reliability. It is recommended that coal mining practitioners combine SMR with kinematic analysis and limit equilibrium modeling as standard operating procedures, and develop adjustment factors specific to Indonesian geological conditions. Further research should focus on standardizing parameter reporting and cross-site quantitative validation to enable more robust statistical meta-analyses.
