Budget efficiency is an important issue in state financial management because it is directly related to government spending priorities and their impact on public service programs. Discussions about budget efficiency policies are widespread on social media platform X, generating diverse public responses, thus necessitating an automated approach to understand public opinion trends more quickly and objectively. This research aims to analyze the sentiment of Indonesian people toward budget efficiency policies and compare the performance of the Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms in classifying sentiment. The research data used 10,909 Indonesian-language tweets sourced from a public dataset, which were then processed thru the preprocessing stages including cleaning, case folding, normalization, tokenization, stopword removal, and stemming. Sentiment labeling is performed automatically using the Indonesian Sentiment Lexicon (InSet) approach to categorize data into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Feature extraction was performed using Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), and then the data was divided into training and testing sets with an 80:20 ratio. Model performance evaluation was conducted using a confusion matrix and the metrics of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The research results show that sentiment distribution is dominated by negative sentiment at 56.78%, followed by positive sentiment at 37.40%, and neutral sentiment at 5.83%. In the classification stage, SVM performed best with an accuracy of 86%, while Naïve Bayes achieved an accuracy of 74%. These findings indicate that SVM is more optimal for sentiment classification on social media text data and can be utilized to more effectively support the analysis of public response to budget efficiency policies.

The issue of street vendors (PKL) in Sidoarjo Regency, particularly in the Gading Fajar area, has become a significant concern as it relates to public order, the use of public space, and the economic dynamics of small communities. To address these challenges, the Sidoarjo Regency Government enacted Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2016 as the legal basis for structuring and empowering PKL. This study examines how the regulation is implemented in practice and evaluates its effectiveness using a qualitative descriptive method through interviews, observations, and documentation, analyzed with Leo Agustino’s policy evaluation model, which assesses five key aspects: administrative resources, institutional coordination, infrastructure and technology, financial support, and regulatory adequacy. The findings show that the implementation of the regulation has not yet reached optimal performance, as limited socialization, insufficient personnel, weak coordination among agencies, inadequate supporting facilities, and low compliance with zoning rules hinder the achievement of policy objectives. These issues are reflected in the continued presence of PKL operating in non-designated areas despite clear regulatory provisions. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity, improving facilities, enhancing enforcement consistency, and developing more operational technical guidelines are essential to ensure more effective and sustainable management and empowerment of street vendors in Sidoarjo Regency.

In the investment world, stock returns are the leading indicator of a company’s performance and the basis for investor decision-making in the capital market. Fluctuations in stock returns reflect market expectations of the company’s prospects. The retail sector in Indonesia is facing significant pressure from post-pandemic shifts in consumer behavior and increased competition. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial distress, company size, liquidity, operating cash flow, and accounting profit on stock returns in retail sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2021 to 2023. This type of research is causally associated with a quantitative approach. The data used is secondary, in the form of financial statements from retail companies. The sampling technique used was purposive, yielding a total of 39 data points from 13 retail companies. Data testing was carried out using SPSS version 24. The results showed that partially, the variables of financial distress, company size, liquidity, and accounting profit had no significant effect on stock returns. Meanwhile, operating cash flow positively impacts stock returns. These findings indicate that fundamental indicators are not always the main determinants of stock returns. Therefore, investors are advised also to consider external factors such as market sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, and government policies that may have a greater influence on stock performance in the capital market.

This study aims to determine the extent to which certain profitability ratios, such as ROA and ROE, influence bank health, moderating these variables using Good Corporate Governance reports. A quantitative approach is used in this study, and secondary data from previous years are required for testing, sourced from PT. BPR BKK Purwodadi's report data. These findings demonstrate that companies with high profitability have incentives to maintain bank health, as this reflects effective operational and managerial performance. Furthermore, organizations with good corporate governance (GCG) generally have greater resources and a robust organizational structure, providing them with more opportunities to maximize performance. This study is expected to provide new perspectives on bank health maintenance practices, particularly for business entities in the banking sector. Particularly in the strategically significant banking industry, the results of this study are crucial for authorities such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK) to understand the relationship between corporate profitability, good corporate governance (GCG), and bank health. This understanding helps in developing more appropriate policies to maintain economic stability and financial fairness. The emphasis on business entities in the regional government-owned banking sector (Perseroda) during 2020 to 2024, a dynamic period with economic fluctuations, banking policy transformations, and major geopolitical challenges, distinguishes this study.

This study aims to evaluate the financial recording system implemented by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the culinary sector, and analyze its impact on business performance. MSMEs are a very dynamic sector and contribute significantly to the national economy, but many of them do not yet have an adequate financial recording system. Good financial recording is key in business decision making, budget planning, and profitability assessment. The population in this study were 370 culinary MSMEs in Harjosari I Village. The research sample was taken at 20%, namely 74 respondents. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires to 74 culinary MSMEs in Harjosari I Village, Medan Amplas. Data analysis was carried out using simple linear regression to see the relationship between the quality of the financial recording system as an independent variable and business performance as a dependent variable. The results showed that the better the financial recording system, the better the business performance, this can be shown by the regression equation, Y = 1.395 + 0.308 + e. The research results indicate that improving accounting literacy and the use of digital technologies, such as MSME bookkeeping applications, are essential. The involvement of local governments and financial institutions is crucial in educating and facilitating digital-based bookkeeping systems for culinary MSMEs to enhance their competitiveness and business sustainability.

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of the Medan City Government based on six key indicators: (1) growth ratio, (2) degree of fiscal decentralization ratio, (3) regional financial dependency ratio, (4) regional financial independence ratio, (5) regional original revenue (PAD) effectiveness ratio, and (6) regional financial efficiency ratio. The research employs a quantitative descriptive method using secondary data obtained from the Medan City Government’s budget realization reports over the study period. The analysis results indicate that the financial performance of the Medan City Government shows fluctuations across several aspects. The growth ratio reveals an unstable trend, indicating inconsistency in the increase of revenue and expenditure. The degree of fiscal decentralization ratio is 36.66%, suggesting a moderate contribution of PAD to total regional income. The regional financial dependency ratio stands at 61.64%, while the financial independence ratio reaches 59.54%. The PAD effectiveness ratio of 81.36% reflects fairly effective revenue management, and the financial efficiency ratio of 98.44% indicates that financial management has been carried out efficiently. Overall, these findings demonstrate that while Medan City’s financial performance is relatively sound, there remains room for improving fiscal independence and stability.

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.

This study aims to analyze the influence of capital variables and production costs on the income of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Kediri area, East Java. The method used is a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection techniques through the distribution of questionnaires to MSME actors. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software version 26. The results of the study show that both capital and production costs have a significant influence on the income of MSMEs. Capital plays a key role in supporting business operations and expansion, while production costs affect efficiency and profit margins. These findings indicate that increasing access to capital and optimal management of production costs can be an important strategy in increasing MSME income. This research provides practical contributions for stakeholders, including local governments and financial institutions, in designing policies for empowering MSMEs that are more targeted. In addition, the results of this study can be a reference for further research that focuses on other variables that also affect the performance of MSMEs. Thus, a deeper understanding of microeconomic factors can encourage the sustainable growth of the MSME sector in the Kediri area and its surroundings.

This study examines control activities in the delay in the return of Community Economic Empowerment (PEM) funds in Oeba Village, which is one of the policies of the Kupang City Government with interest-free funding assistance through the Community Empowerment Institution (LPM) of Oeba Village with the aim of developing productive businesses to increase the economic potential of the community. This study aims to determine the role of control activities in handling delays in the return of funds (PEM) and to determine the factors that cause the occurrence of arrears of funds (PEM) in Oeba Village, Kota Lama District. The type of data in this study is primary data obtained directly in the form of interviews with employees of the Community Empowerment Institution in Oeba Village. The data analysis technique used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The results of the study indicate that the delay in the return of funds (PEM) in Oeba Village is largely caused by weak supervision and performance reviews, in addition, inadequate human resource development and the absence of clear performance indicators hamper program evaluation. Factors causing PEM Fund arrears include business congestion, lack of understanding, minimal assistance to PEM fund recipients, poor financial management, and sanctions that are not strictly enforced

Digital transformation in the public sector has become a strategic agenda to improve the efficiency, transparency, and quality of government services, including in regional revenue management. This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital transformation in the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda: Badan Pendapatan Daerah) of East Java Province, especially in the Gresik Technical Implementation Unit (UPT: Unit Pelaksana Teknis), as well as its impact on administrative efficiency, transparency, and increasing Regional Original Revenue (PAD: Pendapatan Asli Daerah). This study uses a non-empirical qualitative approach with a literature study method, which involves the analysis of secondary data from scientific journals, policy documents, government performance reports, and community digitalization indicators such as the Indonesian Digital Society Index (IMDI: Indeks Masyarakat Digital Indonesia). The results show that digital transformation through e-payment systems and web-based administration has significantly accelerated the service process, improved taxpayer compliance, and reduced revenue leakage. The receipt of PAD through digital channels increased by 60% in one year, while service efficiency increased by reducing administrative process time from three days to one day. The implementation of this digital transformation is also influenced by the readiness of infrastructure, apparatus competence, and community digital literacy, as described in the theoretical framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Dynamic Capabilities, and TOE Framework. Despite positive achievements, challenges such as digital skills gaps, resistance to change, and system security issues are still obstacles in optimizing digital transformation. This research makes a theoretical contribution to the development  of e-governance literature  and digital public policy practices at the local level. These findings also provide concrete recommendations for other regions to replicate good practices of digital transformation that have succeeded in improving regional financial performance. Thus, digital transformation is not only a technological instrument, but also a governance strategy that requires synergy between technology, organizations, and society

This study aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of the Government Internal Control Sistem (SPIP) on financial performance at the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Malang City from 2022 to 2024. SPIP consists of five key components: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. Financial performance is measured using indicators from the Government Institution Performance Accountability Sistem (SAKIP), which reflects how well the government institution achieves its financial goals and objectives. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory method, where data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 34 Bapenda employees in Malang City. The collected data was then analyzed using SPSS version 25 to examine the relationship between SPIP implementation and financial performance. The results indicate that four of the five SPIP components, namely risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring, have a positive and significant impact on financial performance. This means that the better the implementation of these components, the better the financial performance achieved by Bapenda Malang City. However, the control environment component does not significantly affect financial performance. This suggests that while the control environment is important, other factors such as operational control and communication play a more dominant role in supporting financial performance. Based on these findings, several recommendations for Bapenda Malang City include strengthening SPIP implementation by conducting regular coaching and outreach programs. Additionally, it is recommended to hold workshops with all work units, provide technical training to develop dashboards, and establish clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and flowcharts. Setting up a schedule for SOP publication and routine briefings, as well as developing performance indicators and quarterly evaluation checklists, is expected to enhance SPIP implementation and strengthen financial accountability at Bapenda Malang City.

The rise in corruption cases in Indonesia significantly hampers investment, impacts national economic growth, and undermines the integrity of public institutions. This study highlights the strategic role of public mobilization as guardians of transparency in preventing potential corruption at the Danantara Investment Management Agency (BPI). Using a normative legal research approach enriched by qualitative analysis of the regulatory framework and best practices, this study examines the legal basis supporting public participation and formulates an effective corruption prevention strategy in the digital era. The results show that optimizing the role of the public through information transparency and the use of information and communication technology (ICT) plays a crucial role in building accountability and detecting irregularities. Access to audit data, financial evaluations, and public information is an important instrument in strengthening oversight. The use of ICT allows the public to analyze anomalous patterns, assess institutional performance, and provide constructive feedback on investment management policies. However, this mobilization faces significant challenges. First, the complexity of financial and regulatory data often makes it difficult for the general public to interpret. Second, limited digital literacy hinders the public's ability to utilize oversight technology. Third, the urgent need for certainty of legal protection for whistleblowers or oversight participants is a determining factor in the success of the mobilization. Therefore, strengthening regulations that guarantee legal protection, increasing digital literacy capacity, and developing user-friendly public oversight platforms are necessary. Synergy between the government, investment management institutions, and the public is key to creating a transparent, responsive, and adaptive oversight system to technological developments. This way, the active role of the public can be optimized to strengthen the integrity of BPI Danantara and promote a healthy investment climate in Indonesia.

This study explores the impact of Business Development Services (BDS) on the profitability of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with a specific focus on distro businesses in the Medan Area, Medan. BDS refers to a range of non-financial services aimed at enhancing the growth, capacity, and performance of businesses. These services may include training, mentoring, market access, business planning, and other forms of support. The core objective of this research is to determine whether the utilization of BDS has a measurable influence on the financial outcomes of SMEs, particularly in terms of profitability. The study employs a quantitative research approach using a survey method. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to selected owners of distro businesses who had previously accessed BDS programs. The analysis was conducted using simple linear regression to evaluate the relationship between BDS engagement and business profitability. The results reveal a statistically significant and positive influence of BDS on profitability. SMEs that actively engaged with BDS programs showed noticeable improvements in their financial performance, indicating the effectiveness of these services in supporting business growth. In particular, distro businesses that received BDS assistance experienced increased efficiency, improved market reach, and better management practices, which contributed to higher profit margins. Based on these findings, the study highlights the critical role that BDS can play in enhancing the sustainability and competitiveness of SMEs. It recommends that more business owners in the distro sector take advantage of available BDS programs to support their development. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of governmental and institutional support in promoting and expanding access to BDS to ensure that a wider range of SMEs can benefit from these valuable services.

The study aims to explain the concept of evaluating the efficiency of financial and economic performance in government commercial banks, specifically focusing on Rasheed Bank’s Al-Numaniyah Branch, for the period 2015-2023. The study highlights the importance of using specific criteria or indicators to assess the financial and economic performance of the bank, particularly its efficiency in managing assets and liabilities. The research identifies key financial ratios such as the trading ratio, which increased to 2:1 in 2023 compared to 1:2 in 2020. This increase indicates that the current assets are now twice the value of current liabilities, offering security to the bank’s stakeholders and creditors. This improved ratio is a significant sign of financial stability and effective asset management, offering valuable insights into the bank's financial health. The research also emphasizes the necessity of evaluating the management of current assets and liabilities. It recommends that the bank focus on optimizing the use of its current assets while harmonizing the sources of its funds to maximize profitability. Additionally, it is crucial to manage the liquidity ratio effectively, balancing the need for financial security with the risks involved in liquidity management. This study suggests that the bank should implement strategies to enhance the profitability of its assets, ensuring that investment decisions align with long-term economic and financial goals. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of strategic financial management, including a comprehensive evaluation of both financial and economic performance, to ensure the bank's sustainability, profitability, and growth in the ever-evolving banking landscape, fostering long-term financial stability and success.

Transparent, accountable, and efficient regional financial management is a key responsibility in ensuring good governance. One of the government’s efforts to realize this is through the implementation of an accounting information system known as the Regional Government Information System SIPD, which plays a critical role in planning, budgeting, and financial reporting within local governments. However, the success of SIPD implementation depends not only on the quality of the system itself, but also on the level of user acceptance and usage. This study aims to examine the influence of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and trust on the acceptance of SIPD use at the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency BPKAD of Karangasem Regency. The sample was determined using non-probability purposive sampling, with 36 employees who use SIPD as respondents. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and trust have a positive effect on SIPD acceptance. This suggests that when the system is perceived to improve performance, productivity, and effectiveness; simplify tasks; be easy to use, understand, and learn; enhance user skills; be trustworthy; and provide security and protection, user interest, satisfaction, and usage frequency will increase. Theoretically, this study supports the Technology Acceptance Model TAM in explaining the influence of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and trust on SIPD acceptance. Practically, the findings can be used as input and evaluation material for further SIPD development.
