This study examines the influence of financial literacy, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), and influencer marketing on Generation Z's decision to use Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services in Dompu Regency. The rapid development of financial technology has encouraged the widespread adoption of BNPL as an alternative digital payment method, particularly among young consumers. However, the increasing use of this service also raises concerns regarding financial decision-making and consumer behavior. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 100 Generation Z respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on BNPL usage decisions. Likewise, FOMO significantly influences individuals' decisions to utilize BNPL services, while influencer marketing also demonstrates a positive and significant contribution to users' decisions. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect BNPL usage decisions, explaining 27% of the variance in the dependent variable. These findings suggest that financial knowledge, psychological factors, and social influence collectively shape Generation Z's financial behavior. Therefore, strengthening financial literacy and promoting responsible use of digital financial services are essential to encourage more informed and sustainable financial decision-making.

Digital technology advancements have greatly changed how small businesses manage their finances. This change is not only about recording transactions, but it also affects financial control, report preparation, and business decision making. Accounting Information System (SIA) came about as a solution to help small and medium businesses easily, organize, and accurately record their finances, as well as provide reliable financial information. This study aims to explain the role of the Accounting Information System in making it easier to manage the finances of small and medium businesses in the digital age, the benefits gained from using it, and the challenges faced during its implementation. The method used in this research is a literature review, which involves examining books, journals, and other related scientific publications, followed by analysis using a descriptive qualitative approach. Research findings show that using a digital-based Accounting Information System can improve business efficiency, speed up financial reporting, increase transparency, and make it easier for small and medium-sized businesses to get funding access. However, the implementation of the Accounting Information System still faces challenges such as a lack of technological understanding, limited infrastructure, and high implementation costs. Therefore, collaboration and support from various parties are needed to ensure the accounting information system is implemented effectively and sustainably in small and medium businesses.

The development of digital financial technology has accelerated the transition from cash-based to cashless payment systems across various economic sectors, including traditional markets. One of the most widely adopted innovations is the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS), which offers convenience, speed, and security in financial transactions. This study aims to analyze the role of digital financial literacy in supporting the utilization of QRIS and its implications for the profitability and business sustainability of traditional market traders in Surabaya. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation and documentation of traders' transaction activities. The findings indicate that the utilization of QRIS among traditional market traders remains suboptimal. This condition is influenced by limited digital financial literacy, insufficient technological skills, and the readiness of business owners to adopt digital payment systems. In addition, concerns regarding transaction security and limited technological competence, particularly among elderly traders, remain significant barriers to digital transformation. Nevertheless, digital financial literacy has been shown to improve transaction efficiency, facilitate financial record-keeping, reduce transaction errors, and support more effective business management. Therefore, strengthening digital financial literacy is a strategic factor in optimizing QRIS adoption to enhance profitability and ensure the long-term sustainability of traditional market businesses in the digital economy.

 The development of information technology encourages government agencies to implement digital systems in administrative management, including the filing of financial documents. This study aims to analyze the application of digitization of financial document archives in the General and Administration Section of the South Sumatra National Road Implementation Center, find out the benefits obtained, and identify obstacles faced in its implementation. The research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data was obtained through direct observation during internship activities, documentation, internship logbooks, and literature studies. The results of the study show that the digitization of financial document archives is carried out through the stages of document completeness, scanning, digital storage, archive grouping, and document retrieval. The implementation of archive digitization provides benefits in the form of easier document searching, reducing the risk of losing archives, increasing work effectiveness and efficiency, saving storage space, improving data security, and supporting the digital transformation of government agencies. However, there are still several obstacles such as the large volume of documents, the need for high precision in the scanning process, file naming errors, device and system interference, the risk of digital data loss, limited human resources, and the simultaneous management of physical and digital archives. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of digital archive management so that the benefits obtained can be more optimal.

The rapid development of financial technology, particularly online lending, has transformed consumption patterns among working-age individuals by providing easy access to digital credit. This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy and online loans on the consumptive lifestyles of gas station workers in the Bululawang area. An explanatory quantitative approach was employed, with all gas station workers serving as the study population. A saturated sampling (census) technique was applied, and data were collected through digital Likert-scale questionnaires. The hypotheses were tested using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. The findings indicate that financial literacy does not significantly reduce consumptive lifestyles, suggesting that financial knowledge alone is insufficient to control spending behavior without strong self-discipline. In contrast, the use of online loan applications has a significant positive effect on consumptive behavior, as rapid access to credit creates a perception of greater purchasing power and encourages impulsive spending to satisfy lifestyle and social prestige. Simultaneously, limited financial literacy combined with easy access to digital credit significantly increases consumptive lifestyles. The study concludes that improving financial management requires not only theoretical financial literacy but also practical financial discipline. Therefore, companies are encouraged to provide continuous financial education and develop safer internal financing alternatives to reduce workers' dependence on digital lending platforms.

This study aims to examine the implementation of Interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards (ISAK) 335 in the financial management of non-profit foundations in Tanah Datar Regency, particularly in Rambatan and Sungai Tarab Districts. The study employed a qualitative case study approach using semi-structured interviews with financial managers from four foundations: Yayasan SLB Az-Zahra, Yayasan Darul Ulum/Darul Hafazah, Yayasan Daarut Tahfidz Al-Sulaiman, and Yayasan Jabal Rahmah. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the level of ISAK 335 implementation and the factors affecting its adoption. The findings reveal that none of the foundations have implemented ISAK 335 in preparing their financial statements. The main obstacles include the limited availability of personnel with accounting expertise, simple bookkeeping practices focused only on cash inflows and outflows, inadequate understanding of accounting standards for non-profit entities, and dependence on a single source of operational funding. Consequently, the financial statements do not comply with applicable accounting standards, resulting in low levels of transparency, accountability, and financial information quality. This study recommends enhancing the capacity of financial managers through training, gradually adopting ISAK 335, utilizing digital bookkeeping systems, and diversifying funding sources to strengthen accountable financial governance and ensure organizational sustainability.

Digital transformation in the military procurement sector has brought significant changes to accountability patterns at the Naval Academy (AAL). Using the AP2EP management cycle (Analysis, Planning, Execution, Evaluation, and Control) as an analytical tool, this paper dissects the extent to which the E-Procurement system can mitigate budget deviation risks and enhance financial transparency. As a military educational institution striving to become a World Class Naval Academy, AAL faces unique challenges in balancing state financial regulations with specific educational logistics needs. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this research demonstrates that procurement digitalization provides an automated audit trail that minimizes human intervention. Despite technical and cultural obstacles, strategic steps such as developing real-time dashboards have proven effective in optimizing state financial governance to support cadet education quality and maintain an Unqualified Opinion (WTP).

The rapid expansion of digital finance services, particularly Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) platforms such as Shopee PayLater, has significantly altered consumption patterns among university students. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Shopee PayLater usage and lifestyle on consumptive behavior, as to test the moderating role of financial literacy among Accounting Education students at Universitas Negeri Semarang (class of 2022). A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, with data collected via Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 63 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. Results show that Shopee PayLater usage positively and significantly affects consumptive behavior (path coefficient = 0.440, p = 0.000), as does lifestyle (path coefficient = 0.408, p = 0.003). Financial literacy, however, does not directly influence consumptive behavior (p = 0.676). Notably, financial literacy significantly strengthens—rather than weakens—the effect of lifestyle on consumptive behavior (interaction coefficient = 0.253, p = 0.019), while it does not moderate the relationship between Shopee PayLater usage and consumptive behavior (p = 0.712). These findings contribute theoretically by extending the Theory of Planned Behavior, demonstrating that BNPL accessibility and lifestyle orientation are stronger predictors of consumptive behavior than financial knowledge alone. Practically, this study suggests that financial literacy interventions must be accompanied by self-regulation strengthening and consumer protection policies to effectively curb excessive consumption driven by digital credit services.

This study aims to examine the effect of accounting system digitalization, financial literacy, and financial management on the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Medan Tembung District. This research uses a quantitative method with an associative approach. The population in this study consists of all MSMEs in Medan Tembung District, totaling 48 MSMEs; therefore, a saturated sampling technique was used, meaning all population members were selected as the sample. The data used are primary data collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistical tests, validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results show that accounting system digitalization has a positive and significant effect on MSME sustainability. Financial literacy also has a positive and significant effect and is the most dominant variable influencing MSME sustainability. In addition, financial management has a positive and significant effect on MSME sustainability. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly affect MSME sustainability in Medan Tembung District. The coefficient of determination indicates that the independent variables explain most of the variation in MSME sustainability, while the remaining variation is influenced by other factors outside this study. Therefore, it can be concluded that MSME sustainability is strongly influenced by the implementation of accounting system digitalization, the level of financial literacy, and the financial management capabilities of business owners.

This study examines the transformation of financial management through the implementation of digital accounting in PPOB (Payment Point Online Bank) businesses, which still face manual recording problems such as input errors, delayed reconciliations, and data discrepancies. The research used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach involving PPOB agents in Sidoarjo. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that digital accounting significantly improves operational efficiency through automated transaction recording, real-time data integration, and faster as well as more accurate reconciliation processes. In addition, features such as automatic validation, API integration, and audit trails help minimize recording errors and maintain data consistency. The implementation of digital accounting also supports transparency and improves the quality of financial information used in decision-making. Although challenges remain regarding agents’ technological understanding and infrastructure readiness, overall implementation has provided positive impacts on financial management effectiveness and business operations in PPOB services, making processes more efficient, accurate, and reliable.

The rapid advancement of digital financial technology has increased the adoption of e-wallets among university students and may influence tax awareness through greater transparency in digital transactions. This study examines the effects of financial literacy and risk perception on tax awareness through e-wallet usage among higher education students in Batam City, with culture included as a control variable. A quantitative survey was conducted involving 247 students who regularly use e-wallet services. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with robust standard error estimation in Google Colaboratory. The results indicate that financial literacy has a positive but insignificant effect on e-wallet usage (β = 0.0411, p > 0.05), whereas risk perception has a positive and significant effect (β = 0.5572, p < 0.01). E-wallet usage also positively and significantly affects tax awareness (β = 0.4613, p < 0.01). Furthermore, e-wallet usage significantly mediates the relationship between risk perception and tax awareness but does not mediate the relationship between financial literacy and tax awareness. These findings suggest that e-wallet adoption is driven more by digital lifestyle demands than financial literacy and that improving digital risk literacy may help strengthen students’ tax awareness and responsible use of financial technology.

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial literacy and digital payment on the consumptive behavior of Generation Z in Paccinongang Village, Gowa Regency. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a causal design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 110 respondents of Generation Z residing in Paccinongang Village who had used digital payment, using purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results show that financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on consumptive behavior, with a regression coefficient of 0.401, t-count of 9.705, and significance of 0.000. Digital payment also has a positive and significant effect on consumptive behavior, with a regression coefficient of 0.447, t-count of 11.429, and significance of 0.000. Simultaneously, financial literacy and digital payment have a significant effect on consumptive behavior with an F-count of 124.540 and significance of 0.000. The Adjusted R-square value of 69.4% indicates that both independent variables are able to explain the variation in consumptive behavior at a high category. This means that the higher the level of financial literacy and the intensity of digital payment usage, the higher the consumptive behavior of Generation Z in Paccinongang Village, Gowa Regency.

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.

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.

The development of digital technology has encouraged the transformation of the financial sector through the emergence of Sharia financial technology (fintech) as a financial service based on Islamic principles that emphasize justice, transparency, and public benefit (maslahah). The presence of various Sharia fintech products such as Sharia peer-to-peer (P2P) lending, Sharia crowdfunding, Sharia E-wallets, and digital ZISWAF (zakat, infaq, alms, and waqf) services is considered capable of increasing financial inclusion in Indonesia, especially for unbanked communities and MSMEs that have limited access to formal financial services. This study aims to analyze the innovation of Sharia fintech products, their role in increasing financial inclusion, and their conformity with the perspective of Islamic Economic Law. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach through collecting data from scientific journals, DSN-MUI fatwas, OJK and Bank Indonesia regulations, as well as various literature related to Sharia fintech published within the last five years. The data analysis technique was carried out descriptively and analytically by examining the concepts, implementation, and regulations of Sharia fintech in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that Sharia fintech has a strategic role in expanding public access to financial services through the digitalization of financing, payments, and Islamic social fund collection. In addition to increasing Islamic financial inclusion and literacy, Sharia fintech also helps reduce transaction costs, facilitate MSME financing access, and expand the distribution of financial services to remote areas. From a Sharia perspective, the operation of Sharia fintech must continue to adhere to DSN-MUI fatwas and maqashid sharia principles in order to avoid elements of riba, gharar, and maisir and to create justice and public benefit for society. Therefore, Sharia fintech has a great opportunity to support the development of an inclusive and sustainable Islamic digital economy in Indonesia, although strengthening regulations, Sharia supervision, public education, and product innovation based on community needs are still required.
