Regional financial management in the era of decentralization demands absolute transparency and accountability from local governments to the public. This article is the result of a Public Sector Audit Project aimed at critically analyzing the interrelationship among the three main pillars of auditing: financial accountability, regulatory compliance, and performance effectiveness through the Value for Money framework (3E: Economy, Efficiency, and Effectiveness). The methodology employed is descriptive qualitative research using document analysis techniques on Audit Reports (Laporan Hasil Pemeriksaan/LHP) and regional financial management regulations. The findings reveal an “accountability paradox,” where the achievement of an Unqualified Opinion (Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian/WTP) does not fully correlate with the absence of corruption practices or improvements in public welfare. The study identifies procurement of goods and services as well as grant expenditures as areas particularly vulnerable to non-compliance. Furthermore, the effectiveness aspect of budgeting is often neglected due to the predominantly administrative focus of audits. This article recommends transforming the role of Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP) into strategic partners, strengthening auditor independence, and integrating information technology–based audits to mitigate maladministration risks and ensure tangible economic benefits for society.

The rapid growth of digital transactions through marketplace platforms has driven significant changes in the consumption patterns of Indonesian society. Behind the convenience and efficiency offered, online transactions also pose various legal risks for consumers, including product mismatches, fraudulent practices, and weak personal data protection. This situation creates an urgency to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of consumer legal protection in digital transactions. This study aims to analyze the level of effectiveness of consumer legal protection in digital transactions in Indonesian marketplaces and to identify obstacles in its implementation. The method used is normative legal research with an approach based on legislation and literature studies, particularly on the Consumer Protection Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and Government Regulation Number 80 of 2019. The research results indicate that although a legal framework for consumer protection is normatively available, its implementation has not been optimal. This is influenced by low consumer legal literacy, weak supervision and law enforcement, unclear responsibilities between business actors and marketplace platforms, and the suboptimal personal data protection system. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen regulations that are adaptive to digital transactions, enhance the role of marketplace platforms, and develop effective online dispute resolution mechanisms to ensure protection and legal certainty for consumers.

The study aimed to find out the nature of the budget, know the modern techniques of preparing and implementing the budget, and the consequences of preparing budget based on the modern techniques on performance of government. The descriptive-analytical approach was used to meet the objectives and hypotheses of the research. The data was gathered through a questionnaire whereby 60 questionnaires where distributed to a sample population of accountants working in the Financial Affairs Department at the General Directorate of Education in Wasit Governorate (Iraq), and 57 questionnaires were collected to establish the views of the accountants regarding the effect of preparing and implementing budgets under the modern techniques on the government performance. This paper came up with a number of conclusions. Preparation of the general budget of the state is a technical and political process that involves and is involving different actors in the state. The budget preparation process is a technical process since it involves numerous key calculations that can be used to quantify the anticipated revenues, the cost of activities likely to be obtained in the year and estimation of the planned expenditures. The process of preparing the budget through the traditional ways (line-item budgeting) does not contribute to the optimal planning and budget allocation of the state and, therefore, the fulfillment of the goals laid out by the countries. This paper advises on the need to focus on the current approaches in the budget preparation because they enhance governmental performance, enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of state expenditures, strive to diversify the income, and convert the policies and goals of the state into a definite and actualized reality on the ground, with the help of standards and indicators that modern means of preparing the budget have offered. And to act to modernize the budget system in Iraq, profiteering with the experience of other countries in this domain, and that modernization be a progress, commencing with the budgeting of some ministries or departments within ministries and bodies gradually with the aim of acquiring more experience and expertise, and then meet the impediments which will emerge to proceed to a complete transition.

 Autonomous robot navigation in dynamic and unstructured environments remains a critical challenge due to unpredictable obstacles, sensor uncertainty, and limited adaptability of traditional planning algorithms. Although conventional navigation methods such as graph-based, potential field–based, and sampling-based approaches have been widely adopted, their performance under real-time dynamic conditions is still constrained. This study aims to design and implement a comprehensive experimental framework to evaluate the effectiveness and limitations of conventional navigation algorithms for autonomous mobile robots operating in dynamic unstructured environments. The research adopts an experimental and comparative methodology by implementing A*, Dijkstra, Artificial Potential Field (APF), and Rapidly-Exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithms in simulated static and dynamic scenarios. Performance is assessed using quantitative metrics including path length, computation time, success rate, collision rate, and path smoothness. The experimental results demonstrate that graph-based algorithms achieve high success rates and optimal path efficiency in static environments but exhibit limited adaptability to dynamic changes. APF offers fast computation but suffers from high collision rates due to local minima, while RRT shows better adaptability in dynamic environments at the cost of longer and less smooth paths. These findings confirm that conventional navigation methods are insufficient for robust autonomous navigation in highly dynamic and unstructured environments. The study highlights the necessity of adaptive and learning-based navigation frameworks, such as deep reinforcement learning, to enhance real-time decision-making, robustness, and autonomy in future robotic systems.
