This study aims to understand how sustainable accounting practices can improve the transparency of reports related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects. This study uses a literature review method by examining 20 relevant previous studies. The discussion results indicate that sustainability accounting helps companies record and report financial and non-financial information transparently, thereby strengthening stakeholder trust and supporting decision-making. Additionally, digital technology enhances the effectiveness of ESG reporting, making it more accessible and accurate. Sustainability accounting is proven to be important not only for transparency but also for long-term business sustainability.

Corruption remains a longstanding issue that continues to draw attention—not only at the national and regional levels but also at the village level, which serves as the frontline of governance. Since 2015, the Indonesian government has disbursed Village Funds to promote rural development and welfare; however, misuse of these funds frequently occurs. This study focuses on Kadubeureum Village, Serang Regency, which in 2020 became the site of a corruption case involving village officials. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that community participation in the management of the Village Budget (APBDes) is relatively good, with active involvement from various village groups. However, transparency remains weak due to limited access to information and outdated budget information platforms. The management of the APBDes is not fully open to the public, which undermines community trust. These findings indicate that weak transparency, accountability, and oversight in APBDes management may contribute to the occurrence of corruption at the village level.

The State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) is a fundamental fiscal policy instrument for realizing national development and public welfare. This study aims to analyze the correlation between APBN management and Indonesia’s economic growth, focusing on the effectiveness of government spending and oversight of budget misappropriations. Based on the 2023 audit report by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), financial losses due to APBN mismanagement reached IDR 8.2 trillion, highlighting the weakness in financial oversight and transparency. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores the significance of budget efficiency and the implementation of APBN’s fiscal functions in supporting macroeconomic stability. The findings suggest that government spending significantly influences economic growth, yet its effectiveness is heavily dependent on robust monitoring systems and sound fiscal strategies. Therefore, strengthening fiscal transparency and supervision is crucial to prevent state losses and promote equitable development.

Regulation PER-05/PJ/2019 is a fiscal regulation issued by the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) as an effort to strengthen the governance and accountability of zakat institutions in Indonesia. This regulation governs the procedures for issuing certificates for zakat management institutions so that the zakat paid by muzakki can be deducted from gross income for tax purposes. This study aims to analyze how PER-05/PJ/2019 is implemented by zakat institutions, the extent to which this regulation enhances reporting and transparency, and the various obstacles encountered during its implementation. With a qualitative approach and descriptive method, this research found that PER-05/PJ/2019 encourages zakat institutions to meet administrative requirements, conduct external audits, and perform regular financial reporting, thereby enhancing professionalism and public trust. However, the main challenges are still faced by small zakat institutions, such as limited human resources and financial information systems. Nevertheless, this regulation opens up opportunities for zakat institutions to become more professional, transparent, and accountable, as well as strengthening the integration between the zakat and tax systems in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze and describe the effectiveness of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) management, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors in Negeri Amahusu, Nusaniwe District, Ambon City. The research employs a qualitative method with in-depth interview techniques for data collection.Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the management of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) in Negeri Amahusu is transparent, but community participation needs to be improved through more effective socialization and communication. The use of ADD aligns with the planned budget, yet challenges persist in fund disbursement and transparency in proposal acceptance. Financial administration is carried out accountably, despite encountering technical difficulties in transaction recording. The capacity of village officials still requires improvement, particularly in understanding updated regulations and financial reporting. Community participation is relatively high in village meetings and mutual cooperation activities, although material contributions remain limited. Coordination between institutions functions effectively, yet formal communication must be enhanced to ensure clearer information dissemination and greater community involvement.  

This study aims to examine the impact of CEO turnover on earnings management in non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the period of 2018–2023, with independent commissioners as a moderating variable. Multiple linear regression is used as the model, and the results show that CEO turnover has a significant negative impact on earnings management, where the new CEO tends to engage in earnings management through Big Bath Accounting to improve future performance. Furthermore, independent commissioners have been proven to significantly moderate the relationship between CEO turnover and earnings management, with a higher proportion of independent commissioners in the board of commissioners weakening the negative effect of CEO turnover on earnings management. Control variables such as leverage, profitability, and company size also have a significant impact on earnings management practices. This study contributes to the development of corporate governance in Indonesia, particularly regarding the role of independent commissioners in controlling earnings management practices. The findings are expected to provide insights for investors and regulators in assessing the risks of financial report manipulation and improving transparency and accountability in companies listed on the stock exchange.

The rise in Value Added Tax (VAT) from 11% to 12%, which was put into effect in January 2025, has elicited a range of reactions from Indonesian households, particularly those in the urban middle class. This research intends to investigate the effects of the VAT change on consumption habits among this group. Information was gathered through a survey conducted with 400 households in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung utilizing a stratified random sampling technique. A quantitative analysis was performed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that while the overall tax burden on basic consumption did not rise significantly due to various mitigating measures, the public's perception of the VAT hike still resulted in a decline in spending—particularly on non-essential items and services. This result underscores the importance of fiscal perception in influencing household consumption patterns. The study suggests that fiscal transparency, public awareness campaigns, and compensatory policies are essential for preserving middle-class purchasing power during initiatives aimed at enhancing national tax revenue.

Public finance is a key element in state governance, especially in the collection and allocation of funds for public services and government. In the Islamic tradition, the concept of public finance has developed since the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW with sharia principles such as justice, transparency, and accountability to achieve prosperity (falah) in the world and the hereafter. In the modern era, Islamic public finance faces new challenges and opportunities, especially through digitalization and economic globalization. Technologies such as blockchain and big data open up opportunities to increase the effectiveness and openness of Islamic public financial management. Innovations in sharia financial instruments such as zakat, waqf, and sukuk further strengthen the contribution of Islamic public finance to social and economic development. However, challenges such as low public understanding of sharia finance, gaps in access to technology, and the need for supporting regulations and infrastructure are still obstacles. Issues of fiscal sustainability, debt management, and the development of adaptive sharia instruments are also important concerns in the dynamics of the global economy.

Interlocutory decisions and final decisions are two forms of court decisions that have strategic functions in ensuring the application of the principles of procedural justice. In Indonesian judicial practice, procedural irregularities, norm inconsistencies, and lack of transparency often occur which hinder the achievement of legal justice. This research aims to analyze the role and position of interlocutory decisions and final decisions in the Indonesian judicial system, and identify normative and practical obstacles faced in their implementation. The type of research used is normative juridical with conceptual and statutory approaches. The results showed that regulatory weaknesses, low quality of judicial consideration, and limited access to information were the main obstacles in realizing procedural justice. Therefore, it is recommended to harmonize procedural laws, increase the capacity of judges, and digitize open decisions to ensure effective, transparent, and dignified justice in the national justice system.

Law enforcement is a fundamental pillar in upholding justice and maintaining social order. Indonesia and Malaysia, as neighboring countries with shared historical backgrounds and legal systems—both influenced by Continental European law and local customary laws—demonstrate different approaches in their judicial systems and law enforcement practices. This study aims to compare the judicial systems of both countries in terms of law enforcement, focusing on institutional structures, criminal and civil court mechanisms, and the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies such as the police, prosecution, and judiciary. The research employs a qualitative method with a juridical-comparative approach, analyzing legal documents, legislation, and scholarly literature. The findings reveal that although both countries share basic legal principles, significant differences exist in terms of judicial independence, procedural efficiency, as well as transparency and accountability of law enforcement institutions. This study is expected to contribute to the reform of Indonesia’s judicial system by adopting positive practices from the Malaysian legal framework. 

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of village fund expenditure in Kedamean Village, Kedamean District, Gresik Regency in 2025. The approach used is qualitative with descriptive methods, through in-depth interviews with the Village Head, Treasurer, and Village Consultative Body, as well as analysis of official documents such as budget realization reports and Village Budget Work Plans. The results of the study indicate that village fund expenditure in Kedamean Village is classified as very effective which has followed the principles of transparency and accountability according to regulations, but several obstacles are still found such as inconsistencies between planning and implementation, limited capacity of village officials, and less than optimal realization of development programs and community empowerment. This study recommends strengthening the capacity of village officials, increasing community participation, and optimizing internal and external supervision to increase the effectiveness of village fund expenditure in order to achieve sustainable village development and improve community welfare.

Community service on financial literacy with the aim of changing the mindset and behavior of business actors in managing their businesses has been carried out. The community service method used is based on lectures and training on financial management; both in planning programs based on financial capabilities, implementing programs and evaluating programs that have been created. The results of the community service show that business actors, especially BUMDes Zansibar managers, have understood how to utilize the capital they have to plan superior BUMDes programs. In addition, with this community service they can make simple financial reports in reporting organizational performance as a form of transparency in organizational management.

The quality of public service is one of the indicators of the success of local governments in the context of regional autonomy. This research examines the implementation of the Integrated Administrative Services Program (PATEN) in Kalidawir District, Tulungagung Regency, as a strategy to bring administrative services closer to the community. This study aims to determine the quality of PATEN services and identify the inhibiting factors in optimizing the conduct of public services. The method used is descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and interviews, and then analyzed interactively using the Miles and Huberman model. This study adopts five dimensions of service quality according to Zeithaml, Berry, and Parasuraman, namely: physical evidence, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The research findings indicate that the implementation of PATEN in Kalidawir District has good performance in terms of service infrastructure, procedural accuracy, responsiveness, and transparency. The inclusivity of services is supported by facilities such as child-friendly rooms and breastfeeding rooms. The staff always implements SOP, provides timely services, and maintains professional behavior. However, there are two main obstacles that hinder the optimization of services: inadequate infrastructure for the elderly and persons with disabilities, as well as limited public understanding of service procedures. These challenges affect access, efficiency, and perceptions of service delivery. This study concludes that although PATEN services in Kalidawir District meet general standards, improving inclusive facilities and communication strategies is essential for more equitable and effective service outcomes.  

Village infrastructure is an important foundation for local economic development and improving the welfare of the community in the area. However, the obstacles often encountered include ineffective budget planning, lack of community participation, and weak supervision in budget implementation. Nevertheless, there is potential for improvement through the implementation of an integrated village financial information system and active community involvement in the village development planning deliberation process (Musrenbangdes). This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing primary data obtained through interviews and secondary data from journal sources and previous research. The results of this study indicate that village infrastructure development through the APBDes begins with the participatory preparation of the RKP, involving RT, RW, and BPD. Funding comes from the APBDes, PAD, and community self-help. The focus of development has now shifted to community empowerment, especially women, through skills training. APBDes management faces challenges in meeting sudden needs and relies on deliberation for solutions. Transparency is maintained through budget publication, and project implementation considers environmental aspects. Evaluations are conducted by the Inspectorate and District Office, while the community also monitors and critiques implementation. Regarding the food security program, there will be a shift in management to BUMDes starting in 2025, pending new regulations. The APBDes covers revenue, expenditures, and financing, with village deliberations as the highest forum for approval. Village funds are considered insufficient, so assistance from the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) also plays an important role.

This research aims to develop a web-based school management information system that can improve the efficiency of education administration. In today's digital era, many schools face challenges in effective data and information management. This research uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to identify and analyze relevant literature related to the development of web-based school management information systems. The results showed that the development of a web-based school management information system is generally able to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education administration management, starting from data processing of students, teachers, finances, to reporting. The system supports transparency, speed of access and accuracy of information within the school environment. Although the results show consistent benefits, this research still has limitations in the number of sources and a relatively narrow study, so a broader and more in-depth follow-up study is needed.

This research uses the Fraud Control Plan (FCP) as a moderating variable to explore how human resource competency, internal control systems, and internal supervision affect regional government financial reporting. Due to financial reporting transparency and accountability issues, public sector corruption remains rampant, prompting the study. A quantitative approach was used using moderated regression analysis. Lampung Province's Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) accounting and reporting workers received questionnaires to gather data. The results show that human resource competency, internal control mechanisms, and internal supervision improve financial reporting. The Fraud Control Plan strongly moderates the correlations between human resource competency, internal supervision, and financial reporting quality, but not the internal control system. These findings imply that improving human resource competences, internal supervision, and fraud control may significantly enhance regional government financial reporting openness and accountability.

This study aims to analyze the effect of gender diversity in the board of directors and the presence of an audit committee on the level of integrated reporting disclosure in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2023 period. The study uses companies' annual reports as secondary data and applies multiple linear regression for analysis. The results show that both gender diversity and the audit committee have a positive and significant effect on integrated reporting disclosure. These findings support agency theory, which posits that sound corporate governance enhances transparency and reporting accountability. This research contributes theoretically to the literature on integrated reporting and offers practical implications for companies in formulating more sustainable and informative reporting strategies.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the National Cash Social Assistance (BST) policy on the purchasing power of communities in Surabaya. BST is a social protection program launched by the Indonesian government in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The policy targets low-income and vulnerable groups through direct cash transfers, with the goal of maintaining basic consumption levels and preventing a sharp decline in household welfare. This research examines the extent to which the BST program has achieved its objectives, particularly in enhancing or sustaining the purchasing power of its beneficiaries in urban settings. The study employs an evaluative approach using a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative survey data with qualitative interviews involving aid recipients and local-level implementers. The findings indicate that the BST program had a positive short-term impact on household purchasing power, particularly in meeting essential needs such as food and utility expenses. However, several implementation challenges were also identified, including issues of inaccurate beneficiary targeting, delays in distribution, and the relatively small amount of assistance compared to actual household need. These results highlight that the effectiveness of social policy is not solely dependent on budget allocation but also on the precision of its implementation on the ground. Consequently, the study recommends improvements in beneficiary data updating, enhanced transparency in aid distribution, and the development of more adaptive program designs that reflect local socio-economic conditions. The findings are expected to serve as a valuable reference for policymakers in designing more efficient and sustainable social assistance programs in the future.  

This study was conducted to determine whether there is an influence of the quality of financial reports, the length of office of the regional head and the size of the regional government on the transparency of the regional government through. The sampling technique used purposive sampling consisting of all regional governments in Indonesia in 2023 with a sample size of 517 regional governments. Based on the statistical tests that have been carried out, the results of this study indicate that the quality of financial reports and the size of the regional government have an effect on the transparency of the regional government through the website. Meanwhile, the length of office of the regional head does not affect the transparency of the regional government through the website.

Village development is an important pillar in national development, where community participation is a key factor in achieving success. The Village Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMDes) serves as a strategic document that guides development policies and programs at the village level, with community involvement crucial to ensure that their needs and expectations are met. This study identified three important aspects of community participation: as a tool to obtain information, to increase trust in development programs, and as a democratic right. Despite challenges in involving the community, such as a lack of understanding of planning mechanisms and time constraints, the hope for increasing participation remains. Qualitative research methods were used to explore the most effective methods in increasing community involvement. The results showed that active community participation in the preparation of the RPJMDes in Tembung Village can increase transparency, accountability, and relevance of development programs, thus creating inclusive and sustainable development. Cooperation between residents and the village government is the key to achieving optimal development results that are felt by all levels of society.
