This study aims to analyze the implementation of financial reporting and evaluate the economic performance of Koperasi Simpan Pinjam dan Pembiayaan Syariah (KSPPS) Nur Insani during the period from 2022 to 2023. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing secondary data from the Statement of Financial Position, Cash Flow Statement, and Operating Results Report published by the cooperative. The findings indicate that KSPPS Nur Insani has implemented a computerized financial recording system, which enhances accuracy, transparency, and operational efficiency. However, the cooperative experienced significant financial pressure in 2023, as indicated by decreases in cash and cash equivalents, total assets, and temporary syirkah funds, both short-term and long-term. These declines reflect weakened liquidity and reduced fundraising capacity from members. Despite these challenges, the cooperative succeeded in increasing its Net Operating Results (SHU), demonstrating effective revenue management and operational cost control. Overall, the profitability of KSPPS Nur Insani remains positive, yet strategic improvements are necessary, particularly in strengthening liquidity management, increasing funding sources, optimizing asset utilization, and enhancing digital system implementation to support better financial governance. These strategic efforts are expected to improve business sustainability and maintain member trust in the future.

This study aims to evaluate the performance of KSPPS BKK Purwokerto using the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence (MBCfPE), which consist of seven assessment categories: leadership, strategy, customer focus, measurement and knowledge management, workforce, operations, and organizational results. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman to identify strengths and weaknesses within the organization. The findings indicate that KSPPS achieved a total score of 825, placing it in the Excellent – Benchmark Leader category. The strongest performance appears in customer focus, leadership, and operational quality, reflecting strong service orientation and solid interpersonal relationships. However, the lowest score in measurement, analysis, and knowledge management suggests that the data and information system is not yet fully integrated. These results highlight the need for improving information systems, digitalizing processes, and strengthening performance measurement to support continuous improvement. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic microfinance performance evaluation and provides strategic recommendations for enhancing organizational management.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the murabahah bil wakalah contract within Islamic financing institutions by examining procedural compliance, documentation quality, and the effectiveness of internal monitoring. A qualitative approach was applied using in-depth interviews, structured observations, and document analysis involving purposively selected informants. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis supported by data reduction, coding processes, source triangulation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the contract generally aligns with sharia principles, although operational challenges persist, including inconsistent documentation, varied member understanding of wakalah procedures, and limitations in monitoring practices. Verification processes and margin determination have been properly executed, yet administrative governance requires strengthening to ensure alignment between procedural guidelines and real-world practice. The study highlights the importance of increasing sharia literacy and enhancing human resource capacity to improve efficiency and compliance in implementing murabahah bil wakalah within micro-level Islamic financial institutions.

The study highlights the need for more innovative and adaptive marketing strategies through digitalization, human resource development, and continuous financial literacy initiatives.
