This study examines the effectiveness of the purchasing accounting information system at PT. ABC, with an emphasis on the quality and timeliness of information from ordering to payment to vendors. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation involving departments related to purchasing activities. The results show that although the system has been implemented in accordance with company procedures, its effectiveness is still not optimal. This is evidenced by inconsistent documentation, frequent invoice revisions, and delays in the verification and payment processes, which reduce the efficiency and reliability of information. These problems are caused by weak document control, limited interdepartmental coordination, inadequate human resources, and high workloads in the purchasing unit. Therefore, improvements in system implementation and internal control are needed to improve the accuracy, timeliness, and overall effectiveness of the purchasing accounting information system.

This article aims to analyze the role of human resource management in improving organizational performance and formulate strategic recommendations based on improvements in human resource management practices. The theoretical foundations used include strategic human resource management theory, organizational performance theory, and work motivation theory, which are used to examine the functions of workforce planning, competency development, performance appraisal, and reward systems. This study employed a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive qualitative analysis model that encompasses data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The analysis results indicate that workforce planning based on organizational needs, continuous competency development, an objective performance appraisal system, and a performance-based reward system are directly related to increased effectiveness, productivity, and stability of organizational performance. Furthermore, efforts to improve human resource management practices through policy evaluation, strengthening strategic planning, enhancing internal communication, and data-driven decision-making have proven to be a strong foundation for formulating strategic recommendations for the organization. The study's conclusions confirm that the systematic and strategic integration of human resource management functions is a key factor in achieving sustainable organizational performance and adapting to changes in the work environment.
