Accountability in preparing financial reports is a crucial instrument for the sustainability of business entities, because inaccurate financial data management can hinder decision-making and harm business performance in the future. For MSME actors in the PKK Tanggamus community, strengthening financial reporting competence is an urgent need so they can map expenditure structures, record income, calculate profit, and evaluate business development periodically. This community service activity aims to improve participants’ financial discipline, particularly in separating personal assets, business capital, and gross profit, while introducing accessible office technology. The training focused on optimizing LibreOffice Calc as an alternative to Microsoft Excel with similar functions for creating transaction tables, cost recapitulations, and simple financial reports. The activity method included material presentation, software demonstrations, report preparation practice, and interactive discussions based on participants’ business needs. Training results showed high enthusiasm, improved understanding, and readiness to use LibreOffice Calc as a more organized, transparent, and sustainable financial recording tool. Thus, this activity provides practical contributions to building an accountable financial administration culture for community-based MSMEs.

Given the important objectives that banks strive to achieve through financial stability and their role in ensuring its continuity and ability to face various economic challenges, many have expanded their policies beyond their traditional functions by adopting a range of additional practices and activities that contribute to strengthening their developmental role in society. Among the most prominent of these practices are corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, which have become a crucial aspect of the work of contemporary financial institutions. In this context, this research highlights CSR practices in banks. It relied on a sample of nine Iraqi banks listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange, which are characterized by their continued banking operations and regular publication of their annual financial reports. The research period was set from 2014 to 2023, and included a set of statistical tests that incorporated a number of financial determinants as control variables to determine their contribution to enhancing the impact of CSR when included alongside it, and to define the nature of the relationship between the research variables. We have reached a number of conclusions, most notably that when regulatory variables are included in the analysis model, this effect becomes statistically insignificant, which indicates that banks’ interest in internal financial factors still outweighs their interest in social aspects.

Village governance plays an important role in supporting the effectiveness of development planning and improving community welfare. This study aims to analyze financial management governance and the process of preparing the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBKal) in Kalurahan Poncosari, Bantul Regency, for the 2025 fiscal year. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method, involving in-depth interviews with key informants and documentation analysis of relevant regulations and financial reports. The results show that financial management in Kalurahan Poncosari has been implemented systematically through the stages of planning, implementation, administration, reporting, and accountability in accordance with applicable regulations. The planning process is conducted in a participatory manner through tiered community deliberations, such as hamlet-level deliberations and village development planning deliberations, involving residents. In addition, the use of digital systems such as E-RAB and Siskeudes supports transparency and administrative order. However, challenges remain, including limited budget flexibility due to mandatory programs from central and regional governments, limited human resource capacity, and shifts in community participation patterns. In conclusion, the governance of APBKal in Kalurahan Poncosari demonstrates compliance and accountability; however, improvements in administrative capacity and fiscal flexibility are needed to better respond to community needs.

Raining on the preparation of financial statements based on the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM) for the management of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) is one of the community service programs aimed at improving the ability of BUMDes administrators in preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards. In this activity, SAK EMKM serves as a guideline in preparing more transparent and accountable financial reports. This program is expected to provide a positive impact on village financial management while strengthening the performance of BUMDes in carrying out its role as a driver of the village economy.

In addition, this training also aimed to increase the awareness of BUMDes administrators regarding the importance of accountability and transparency in financial management as part of efforts to achieve good village governance.

This study aims to examine the impact of digital transformation in accounting and the effectiveness of internal control systems on the quality of financial reports in an integrated logistics services company. The method used is a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), with data collected from 35 respondents who are involved in financial and accounting activities within the company. The analysis focuses on evaluating the relationships between digital transformation, internal control systems, and financial reporting quality. The research findings indicate that digital transformation in accounting (coefficient = 0.658; p-value = 0.000) and internal control systems (coefficient = 0.308; p-value = 0.023) have a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial reports. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.822 shows that both independent variables are able to explain 82.2% of the variation in financial report quality, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors outside the model. These results confirm that the implementation of digital technology supported by an effective internal control system can significantly improve the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and reliability of financial reporting in organizations.

Financial Literacy is a crucial aspect in supporting the success of a business for young entrepreneurs, especially in preparing financial reports.

One type of contract that is very important for the operations of Islamic financial institutions, especially for benefit-based services such as multi-service financing and gold pawnbroking. However, in its application, several problems continue to arise. The most prominent is the incompatibility with Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) 107 and other Islamic accounting standards in terms of recording and disclosing ijarah transactions. This condition can cause the financial statements of Islamic financial institutions to be less transparent and accountable. Therefore, this study aims to examine how ijarah contracts are used and to what extent the application of ijarah accounting helps Islamic financial institutions become more financially transparent. The research was conducted by reviewing relevant literature, including the provisions of the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), PSAK 107, and the fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council's National Sharia Board (DSN-MUI). The study shows that the proper use of ijarah accounting, which includes the recognition of ujrah income, the recording of asset gains, and the consistent disclosure of costs, can increase information transparency and stakeholder confidence in financial reports.

Changes in intergovernmental fiscal transfer policies and the increasing emphasis on spending efficiency in Indonesia have encouraged regional governments to strengthen fiscal independence through the optimization of locally generated revenues, particularly local taxes. This study aims to evaluate local tax performance as a strategic instrument for supporting regional fiscal autonomy and fiscal resilience under fiscal decentralization. The analysis focuses on regional governments in Lampung Province during Fiscal Years 2019–2023. Using a descriptive quantitative research design, this study employs secondary data obtained from audited regional financial reports. The analytical framework applies a value for money approach to assess local tax effectiveness, complemented by growth ratio analysis to examine revenue dynamics over time. The findings indicate that local tax performance varies considerably across regions, revenue growth remains volatile, and fiscal resilience is more likely to emerge in regions where effectiveness and growth are relatively balanced. Overall, the results suggest that strengthening fiscal autonomy requires not only achieving revenue targets but also ensuring stable and sustainable local tax performance.

Local government accounting policies provide the foundation for financial reporting. The Budget Realization Report (LRA) compares budgeted and actual figures, with the resulting balance recorded as the Sisa Lebih Pembiayaan Anggaran (SILPA, excess financing surplus). This study in East Lombok Regency aims to quantify the SILPA in the 2024 APBD and to analyze the financial accounting policies used in its determination. A descriptive approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods was applied. Data were collected via structured interviews with local finance officials, observations, and document analysis of APBD financial reports. Qualitative data were reduced and presented to describe policy factors, while quantitative analysis computed the SILPA value. Results show the 2024 LRA recorded a SILPA of IDR 6,414,658,153.17, indicating unused budget funds. These funds will finance the 2025 budget deficit for investment and equity in regional companies. The accounting policy for SILPA determination considered key principles such as prudence, substance over form, and materiality, in accordance with government accounting standards (e.g. applying the conservatism principle to avoid recognizing uncertain revenues). This analysis highlights how regional financial policies influence the management of budget surpluses.

The impact of earnings management practices in banking companies is a consideration of the importance of research on earnings management that discusses how to reduce and control aggressiveness and deviations from earnings management so as to maintain the credibility and quality of information presented by financial reports. This article aims to observe and analyze the development of research on the role of the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) in reducing discretionary accruals in Islamic banking. This article uses a qualitative approach to literature study by analyzing articles originating from previous research. Based on the results of the analysis of previous articles, a strong argument is provided that the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) plays a significant but complex role in mitigating earnings management practices in Islamic banking. The effectiveness of the SSB's Sharia Supervisory Board, adequate qualifications and expertise (a combination of sharia and financial knowledge) are one of the most consistent determining factors, surpassing mere size or frequency of meetings. There is an academic gap for future research exploring moderating variables, real-world manipulation techniques, and the dynamics of interactions between governance elements within the dual structure that characterizes Islamic banking.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Current Ratio (CR) on Return on Assets (ROA) at PT Sido Muncul Tbk for the period 2019–2023. The research employs a quantitative associative approach using secondary data obtained from the company’s annual financial reports. The analytical method applied is multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 26. Prior to hypothesis testing, the model was examined using classical assumption tests, including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation tests.

This indicates that the higher the managerial ownership, the better the alignment of interests between managers and shareholders, leading to improved financial outcomes. Second, company size also has a positive and significant effect on financial performance, meaning the larger the company, the better the performance. Furthermore, leverage has been shown to have a positive and significant effect on financial performance. This suggests that optimal use of debt can enhance company performance by providing additional resources for growth. Finally, capital structure also has a positive and significant effect on financial performance, indicating that the right combination of debt and equity can increase company value. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of financial and managerial decisions in shaping the performance of insurance companies in Indonesia during the observed period.

This study addresses the issue of inadequate financial reporting by Regional Government Organizations (Organisasi Perangkat Daerah/OPD) in Nganjuk, where financial statements are expected to meet user needs in fulfilling transparency and accountability requirements. The research investigates the influence of four key factors—accounting standards, information systems, internal controls, and the competence of human resources—on the quality of financial statements. Furthermore, it examines the moderating role of organizational commitment in strengthening or weakening the relationships between these factors and financial reporting quality. The study adopts a quantitative research design, with data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 53 OPD offices, involving 212 randomly selected respondents. Data were analyzed using classical assumption tests to ensure validity and reliability, followed by Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) employing SPSS software. The findings reveal that information systems, internal controls, and competent human resources have a significant positive effect on the quality of financial reports. In contrast, accounting standards show no significant direct impact. Moreover, organizational commitment plays a moderating role in enhancing the positive effects of information systems, internal controls, and human resource competence on report quality. However, it does not moderate the relationship between accounting standards and financial reporting quality. These results highlight the importance of both technical and human resource aspects in improving financial statement quality within OPDs. While adequate systems and controls are crucial, the study underscores that the presence of strong organizational commitment is a determining factor in maximizing their effectiveness. The research suggests that efforts to improve financial reporting should not only focus on compliance with standards but also on strengthening commitment, training, and the integration of information systems and internal control mechanisms

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of current asset management, specifically cash, receivables, and inventory, and its impact on a company's ability to generate profits. The study focused on companies in the automotive sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2023. The research approach used a quantitative method with secondary data sourced from annual financial reports. The study sample included 11 companies, resulting in a total of 44 observational data sets over four years. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 software to examine the relationships and influences between the study variables. The test results showed that cash management did not significantly influence profitability. This indicates that the amount of available cash does not always correlate with profit, possibly because cash funds are not optimally utilized in productive activities. Conversely, receivables management showed a negative correlation with profitability. This finding suggests that high receivables can burden cash flow and reduce a company's ability to generate profits. Meanwhile, inventory management has a positive and significant impact on profitability, indicating that good inventory control can support smooth production and sales, thereby increasing profits. Together, these three variables explained 68.4% of the variation in company profitability, while the remaining 31.6% was influenced by factors outside the model, such as operational efficiency, cost structure, and marketing strategy. These findings provide insights for automotive company management to prioritize inventory management and review cash and receivables policies to optimize financial performance.
