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.

This study evaluates the management audit of the procurement of goods and services for the 4G Base Transceiver Station (BTS) project managed by BAKTI Kominfo, with a primary focus on compliance with applicable regulations, the effectiveness of internal controls, and deviations at various stages of procurement. A qualitative approach was used, with analysis of documents, official news, and investigative audit findings from BPKP. The results indicate that the project procurement did not comply with Presidential Regulation No. 16 of 2018 and BAKTI Director Regulation No. 7 of 2020, with findings including tender manipulation, weak contract verification, and low levels of transparency. The planning process was also unsupported by adequate feasibility studies, while weak internal oversight exacerbated tender rigging and fund disbursements without proper verification. This study emphasizes the need for improvements in internal oversight, strengthening control mechanisms, and the implementation of e-procurement systems to enhance transparency and accountability in public procurement.

Internal control plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability of financial reporting and the effectiveness of a company’s operations. One account that requires special attention is prepaid expenses, as its recognition and amortization may lead to misstatements if not properly executed. This study aims to analyze the implementation of internal control over prepaid expense accounts from the perspective of external auditors at Public Accounting Firm XYZ. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method through semi-structured interviews with auditors and examination of supporting documents related to the internal control system. The results indicate that internal control has been implemented through payment authorization procedures, verification of supporting documents, and testing of amortization allocations. However, weaknesses remain, including limited staff understanding of expense allocation policies and inadequate segregation of duties, which increase the risk of material misstatement. The findings highlight the importance of enhancing staff competence, establishing consistent amortization policies, and utilizing technology-based accounting systems to strengthen the effectiveness of internal controls and the reliability of financial reporting.

This study aims to analyze the application of accounting information systems in cash receipts and expenditures and assess their contribution to the effectiveness of internal control at the Sekoto Putro Showroom in Kediri. The research methodology employed is a qualitative approach, with data gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that the current accounting information system is still manual and lacks standard operating procedures (SOPs). The process of cash receipt and disbursement is managed by the finance department under the direct supervision of the owner, who also functions as the primary controller. The owner’s consent is required for all large transactions, and internal control is implemented informally through cash checks and transaction authorizations. However, there are notable weaknesses, including the absence of a clear separation of duties and a lack of a well-documented recording and authorization system. These weaknesses pose risks to the efficiency and reliability of financial management and internal control. Consequently, this study recommends the implementation of a computer-based accounting system, the creation of written SOPs, and a more defined separation of financial duties. Such changes are expected to enhance the effectiveness of internal control, improve operational efficiency, ensure more accurate record-keeping, and minimize the risk of financial losses in showroom cash management. By transitioning to a formalized and computerized system, the showroom can streamline its processes and safeguard its financial resources, ensuring long-term sustainability and growth. This research highlights the need for modernizing accounting practices to foster better financial governance and strengthen internal controls in small to medium-sized businesses.

Internal control plays a crucial role in supporting the achievement of an organization's goals. In general, internal control provides significant benefits in securing organizational assets, improving the reliability and accuracy of financial and operational information, and ensuring compliance with applicable policies, regulations, and laws. With effective internal control, an organization can protect its resources from the risk of misuse, fraud, or waste. This research is a quantitative study using multiple regression analysis. The population in this study was all 80 employees of the West Aceh Inspectorate. The number of samples used was calculated using the Slovin formula and random sampling technique, resulting in 45 people as research samples. The quantitative analysis in this study was conducted using the Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 26 computer program, which allows for rapid analysis and produces more accurate output. The results of the study indicate that internal audit has a partial significant influence on the effectiveness of internal control at the West Aceh Inspectorate. In addition, the accounting information system also has a partial significant influence on the effectiveness of internal control at the West Aceh Inspectorate. Overall, both internal audit and accounting information systems significantly influence the effectiveness of internal control at the West Aceh Inspectorate. This study underscores the importance of both factors in supporting the achievement of organizational goals and better resource management.

This study aims to analyze the cash disbursement accounting system for building maintenance at PT Bernofarm Pharmaceutical Company, a national pharmaceutical firm that has implemented an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The primary issue addressed is the effectiveness of internal control mechanisms in handling cash disbursements, particularly cash transactions that are susceptible to errors and fraud. A qualitative descriptive case-study approach was adopted, using the COSO Framework—including control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information & communication, and monitoring. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and internal document analysis. Findings indicate that PT Bernofarm has implemented segregation of duties, tiered authorizations, and effective use of ERP for recording and disbursing funds. Nonetheless, weaknesses were found regarding the timely submission of cash transaction receipts and delays in physical document reporting, which affect data accuracy. Consequently, strengthened reporting procedures and a more comprehensive digital archiving system are recommended. This research offers practical contributions to reinforcing digital-based cash disbursement accounting systems and highlights the importance of adaptive internal control in the context of cash transactions.
