This study is motivated by the challenge of economic independence for Islamic boarding schools amid the transformation of their role in the modern era. Islamic boarding schools no longer function solely as traditional Islamic educational institutions, but have also developed as centers for economic and social empowerment of the community. However, dependence on uncertain external funding sources has prompted the need to develop a sustainable economic ecosystem for Islamic boarding schools in order to strengthen the independence of these institutions. This study aims to explore the development of Islamic boarding school financing management based on economic independence. This study uses a qualitative approach, with an exploratory sequential mixed methods design. The research method uses Research and Development (R&D) with the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation (ADDIE) development model. The results of the study found that: 1) Financial management in two Islamic boarding schools has been carried out systematically through planning, funding diversification, governance, and continuous evaluation with a contextual approach. 2) The development of financial management has shifted from an administrative function to an economic independence strategy based on the integration of modern governance and Islamic boarding school values.

Cocoa farming is one of the plantation subsectors that plays a strategic role in Indonesia’s economy, as it contributes to increasing farmers’ income, national exports, and the development of the chocolate processing industry. Indonesia is recognized as one of the world’s largest cocoa producers, with major production areas located in Sulawesi, particularly South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, and Southeast Sulawesi. However, the sustainability of cocoa farming still faces various challenges, such as low crop productivity, the use of low-quality seedlings, suboptimal cultivation techniques, and the presence of pests and plant diseases. In addition, limited access to capital and the low level of farmers’ financial management skills also affect the sustainability of cocoa farming. Many farmers do not yet have proper farm financial record-keeping systems, making it difficult to manage production costs, cash flow, and farm capital planning. In this context, financial literacy becomes an important factor that can help farmers manage their farming activities more effectively and sustainably. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial literacy on the sustainability of cocoa farming and farmers’ welfare. The research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 120 cocoa farmers in Sidenreng Rappang Regency (Sidrap), South Sulawesi. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and then analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on farm financial management and the sustainability of agricultural businesses. Farmers with higher levels of financial literacy tend to manage farm capital more effectively, maintain proper financial records, and improve farm productivity. Therefore, improving financial literacy can become

This web-based system enhances data accuracy, minimizes human error, and provides real-time access to financial information, significantly improving the efficiency of financial management at UD Jaya Abadi.

This study examines the influence of financial factors on the capital structure of basic chemical manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The sample selection method used is purposive sampling, with specific criteria resulting in a sample of 51 companies and a total of 255 data points. After data processing, 80 outliers were identified, reducing the final sample to 175 company data points. This research adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS version 25. The findings reveal that profitability, asset structure, company size, and business risk have a significant impact on capital structure. In contrast, sales growth and dividend policy do not show a significant contribution to capital structure. Based on these findings, it is recommended that companies in the basic chemical manufacturing sector focus on improving profitability, optimizing asset structure, and managing business risks effectively to strengthen their capital structure. Additionally, company size should be considered when making financing decisions. Since sales growth and dividend policy were not significant factors, firms might prioritize internal financial management and risk control over aggressive sales expansion or dividend adjustments when aiming to optimize their capital structure. Future research could explore other potential factors or use alternative methodologies to deepen understanding in this area.

The main problem faced by MA Al Ulya Al Mubarok is the low level of financial literacy and the lack of understanding of the importance of early investment. Most students still perceive saving as the only form of financial management without recognizing the potential for asset growth through safe and well-planned investments. The absence of practical education on personal financial management and limited access to learning resources about investment are the main barriers to developing intelligent and future-oriented financial behavior. As a solution, this community service program is designed to improve financial literacy and foster investment intention among students. The program will be implemented through several stages of activities, including: needs and baseline analysis of students, development of a contextual-based financial literacy module, interactive socialization and training on the basic concepts of saving, personal financial management, and introduction to investment. The expected outcomes of this program include: an increase in students’ financial literacy level by at least 30% based on pre-test and post-test results, the initiation of a student investment awareness community, and the creation of a financial literacy learning module that can be used sustainably by the school. This community service program is expected to serve as a model for financial literacy development in secondary education institutions while supporting national efforts to build a financially literate, independent, and future-oriented young generation.

Independent Community Service Program (KKN) is a form of student community service that aims to apply knowledge practically in the field. This activity was carried out by students of the University of Muhammadiyah North Sumatra with the theme "Building Student Financial Awareness Through Education and Socialization in Schools. " This program aims to improve financial understanding among students from Elementary and High Schools in Perkebunan Gunung Melayu Village, Rahuning District, Asahan Regency.

In addition, this activity also serves to increase public understanding of the importance of financial education for children. The main element that facilitates the implementation of activities is support from educational institutions, village governments, and local communities, while the main challenge faced is the lack of attention of elementary school students caused by their habits that still prefer to play. Overall, this KKN program has a positive impact on increasing students' financial awareness and has the potential to be a simple financial education model at the elementary and secondary school levels

Hospitals are a crucial sector in a country due to their functions encompassing various aspects of healthcare provision. Factors supporting smooth operations and quality healthcare services in hospitals include human resources, facilities and infrastructure, health information systems, financial management, good customer service, security, occupational health, and other supporting factors. This study aims to determine the effect of compensation, work environment, and work stress on employee work productivity at Bhayangkara Level II Hospital in Kediri City. The research method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The sample in this study amounted to 40 respondents who were employees of Bhayangkara Level II Hospital in Kediri City. The results of the analysis show that partially compensation, work environment, and work stress have a positive and significant effect on employee work productivity. Compensation has a calculated t value of 2.500 with a significance of 0.015, work environment is 6.170 with a significance of <0.001, and work stress is 5.305 with a significance of <0.001. Simultaneously, these three variables also have a significant effect on work productivity with a calculated F value of 35.438 and a significance of <0.001. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the hospital management continue to evaluate the compensation system, create a conducive work environment, and manage employee work stress through training and counseling facilities. Further research is expected to add other variables such as internal communication, job satisfaction, and career development to obtain more comprehensive results.

This study examines the strategic role of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) of the Republic of Indonesia in ensuring transparent, accountable, and aligned state financial management in line with national goals. As an independent state institution, the BPK has a constitutional mandate to audit state financial management and accountability objectively and free from intervention by any party. This study uses a legal method with a normative juridical approach, accompanied by descriptive analysis and systematic interpretation of data from literature studies. The results show that the BPK has broad authority in auditing state finances, both for the central government, regional governments, and other public institutions. However, its implementation still faces obstacles such as a lack of internal transparency, overlap with internal government oversight, and limited resources for comprehensive oversight. To address these issues, the BPK needs to strengthen its internal systems, increase auditor capacity, develop more systematic audit result reporting guidelines, and build cross-agency coordination to make its external oversight function more effective, transparent, and capable of supporting clean and integrated governance.

MSMEs are important for the Indonesian economy, but financial management and access to formal financial services are still problematic. This study examines the influence of financial literacy and inclusion on MSMEs in Bandung Regency. This study is quantitative and survey-based. Non-probability sampling selected 100 MSME actors for this study. The results of this study are that financial literacy affects MSME performance, financial inclusion affects MSME performance, and financial literacy and inclusion affect MSME performance.

The low level of financial literacy among students, especially Generation Z, has become a serious concern that requires solutions to face the increasingly complex challenges of the modern economy. Many students still do not fully understand the importance of financial management and continue to exhibit high consumer behavior due to the lack of financial education provided from an early age. This community service activity aims to enhance students' understanding of the importance of financial literacy through the habit of saving, which can be started at a young age as a form of simple yet highly effective financial management. The methods used in this activity include interactive lectures, pocket money management simulations, group discussions, and educational quizzes designed to increase students' active participation. The results of the activity show an increase in students' awareness of the importance of saving, as well as their ability to manage personal finances in a more directed, wise, and responsible manner in everyday life. This shows that financial education based on saving habits can help students achieve better financial management in the future.

In the dynamic and competitive business environment, profitability has been recognized as a fundamental determinant of corporate sustainable growth. However, the complex relationship between profitability and sustainable growth, particularly through the mediating role of firm performance, remains understudied in emerging markets like Indonesia. This study examines the impact of profitability on corporate sustainable growth and investigates the mediating role of firm performance in this relationship among companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Using a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), this research analyses panel data from 112 companies listed on the IDX during 2018-2023, resulting in 672 observations. Profitability was measured using Return on Assets (ROA), sustainable growth using Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), and firm performance using Tobin's Q. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM to test both direct and mediating relationships. The findings reveal that profitability has a strong positive and significant impact on sustainable growth (β = 0.417, t = 9.328, p < 0.001), representing the highest path coefficient among all financial determinants examined. Firm performance significantly mediates the relationship between profitability and sustainable growth (indirect effect = 0.096, p < 0.001), indicating partial mediation. The model explains 47.9% of the variance in sustainable growth (R² = 0.479). Profitability emerges as the most critical financial determinant of sustainable growth in Indonesian listed companies. The study confirms that profitability influences sustainable growth both directly and indirectly through enhanced firm performance, providing dual pathways for growth enhancement. These findings have significant implications for corporate financial management and investment decision-making.

The low level of financial literacy in Indonesia, which only reached 49.68% according to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in 2022, highlights the urgency of financial education from an early age. Children aged 11–12 are at an ideal developmental stage to understand basic financial concepts such as income, expenses, saving, and delayed gratification. This study aims to introduce financial literacy through an interactive learning medium in the form of a board game. Board games are chosen because they enhance children's engagement in learning while playing and serve as an alternative to excessive gadget use. Through gameplay, children practice financial decision-making by simulating buying and selling activities, managing expenses, and choosing to save. This approach also supports the development of children's self-efficacy, which refers to their belief in their ability to manage financial tasks. By applying this method, children are expected not only to understand the value of money but also to implement basic financial management skills in daily life. Educational board games offer an effective tool for instilling healthy financial habits from an early age.

This study aims to integrate Prophetic guidance (Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad into the development of a Maqāṣid-Based Budgeting Framework, focusing on the balance between efficiency and social responsibility in Islamic financial management. Using a qualitative thematic approach to relevant hadiths on trust (amānah), professionalism (itqān), prohibition of extravagance (isrāf), and distributive justice, the study reveals that efficiency in Islam extends beyond cost reduction toward the optimization of maslahah ‘āmmah (public welfare). Meanwhile, social responsibility serves as an ethical foundation ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability in fiscal decision-making. The integration of Prophetic values with theories of Islamic Fiscal Management and Public Finance Efficiency enhances the conceptual strength of Islamic budgeting as a model of balanced financial governance. Thus, budgeting in the maqāṣid and Prophetic perspective is not merely a technical instrument but also a spiritual and social tool for achieving just, efficient, and ethically grounded financial management.

Regional budget management constitutes a critical foundation for achieving good governance in the era of decentralization and regional autonomy. This article comprehensively examines the pivotal role of accountability and transparency as essential instruments in enhancing the quality of regional budget governance. Employing a qualitative research methodology through systematic literature review and policy analysis, this study investigates the conceptual framework, implementation mechanisms, and practical implications of accountability and transparency principles in regional financial management. The findings reveal that robust implementation of accountability mechanisms—including financial reporting systems, internal and external oversight, and performance measurement—coupled with comprehensive transparency practices through information disclosure, public participation, and digital technology utilization, significantly contribute to strengthening institutional legitimacy, enhancing budget allocation efficiency, and preventing corruption. The research identifies that accountability is operationalized through multiple layers including legal compliance, procedural adherence, program effectiveness, and policy justification, while transparency manifests through open access to budget documents, participatory planning processes, and technology-enabled information systems. However, the study also uncovers substantial implementation challenges encompassing limited human resource capacity in financial management, inadequate inter-agency coordination, varying levels of public financial literacy and participation, and disparities in technological infrastructure between urban and rural areas. These challenges necessitate a multi-dimensional approach to reform. The article proposes evidence-based policy recommendations including systematic capacity building programs for government apparatus, strengthening regulatory frameworks with effective enforcement mechanisms, community empowerment through financial literacy initiatives, strategic investment in integrated digital platforms, and fostering collaborative partnerships among government institutions, legislative bodies, oversight agencies, civil society organizations, and citizens.

The determination of the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is a crucial element for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), especially in setting competitive prices and achieving the desired profits. However, many MSMEs still face challenges in understanding and applying the appropriate COGS determination methods. This training aims to enhance the capacity of MSMEs in calculating COGS using the Full Costing method through training and mentoring programs. The methodology used includes delivering material, calculation simulations, and evaluating the application of the Full Costing method. The research results indicate an improvement in participants' understanding of cost components as well as their ability to calculate COGS in a more structured and accurate manner. This program has made a positive contribution to the financial management of MSMEs and is expected to serve as a model for capacity development for small business owners in the future.

The efficiency of investment decisions is one of the core axes in the success of organizations and the sustainability of their business, especially in light of the dynamic and complex business environment. In this context, the integrated role of both accounting and financial management systems is highlighted, as the harmony between them is a key pillar in providing accurate, real-time, and analytical data that supports the investment decision maker and reduces the degree of uncertainty and risks associated with investments. This research aims to analyze the impact of the integration between accounting systems and financial management on the quality and efficiency of investment decisions within institutions, with a focus on the nature of the causal relationship between the two variables. A conceptual model has been built that illustrates the interaction between the financial information generated by the accounting system and the analytical tools provided by the financial department, which contributes to raising the efficiency of strategic decisions related to investment. To achieve the objectives of the study, a descriptive-analytical approach supported by a standard analysis using a simple linear regression model was adopted on field data extracted from an intentional sample of financial officials in the banking and investment sector. The results showed that there is a statistically significant positive effect of the integration of accounting and financial management systems in enhancing the efficiency of investment decisions, as the model showed that integration contributes more than 50% to the explanation of changes in the quality of investment decisions. The study reached a number of important findings, the most prominent of which is that the lack of integration or poor coordination between accounting and financial management leads to delays in decisions or making them based on incomplete or contradictory information. Effective integration enables organizations to allocate resources more efficiently and evaluate investment alternatives in a thoughtful manner. The study concluded with a set of recommendations, most notably the need to develop the digital infrastructure of accounting and financial systems, adopt a unified system for data exchange, enhance the culture of teamwork between accounting and financial management units, in addition to activating the use of predictive financial analysis techniques to raise the level of accuracy in investment decisions.
