This study aims to analyze the contribution of state and regional taxes to state revenue and regional fiscal independence in Indonesia. Taxes are the primary source of revenue used to finance governance and national and regional development. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a literature review approach and secondary data analysis derived from the State Budget (APBN) report, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and various scientific articles indexed by Sinta. The data were analyzed to identify the contribution of taxes to state revenue and the role of regional taxes in increasing Regional Original Income (PAD). The results show that tax revenue remains the largest source of state revenue, with dominant contributions coming from Income Tax (PPh) and Value Added Tax (PPN). Furthermore, regional taxes play a crucial role in enhancing regional fiscal capacity and supporting the implementation of regional autonomy. The effectiveness of tax management is influenced by the level of taxpayer compliance, the digitalization of tax administration, and the quality of government oversight. This study implies that optimizing the tax system through digital transformation and increasing public awareness can sustainably strengthen state and regional revenue.

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.

This study aims to analyze the process and implications of changes in the General Budget Policy (KUA) and the Temporary Budget Priorities and Ceilings (PPAS) on the preparation of the Revised Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) for the Fiscal Year 2025 at the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Sikka Regency. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using secondary data in the form of planning and budgeting documents as well as internship activity results. The findings indicate that the preparation process of KUA–PPAS has been conducted in accordance with applicable regulations, starting from planning based on RPJMD and RKPD, formulation by the Regional Government Budget Team (TAPD), and discussions with the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), supported by the SIPD system. Changes in KUA–PPAS are influenced by internal factors such as discrepancies in revenue and expenditure realization, program shifts, and the utilization of budget surplus (SiLPA), as well as external factors including central government policy changes, macroeconomic conditions, and emergency situations.

This study contributes to the advancement of Islamic social finance discourse by developing a conceptual framework for a digitally integrated zakat governance model within the agricultural sector. The study addresses a critical gap between productive zakat practices and the emerging landscape of digital agricultural transformation. While previous research has largely focused on the redistributive function of zakat as a mechanism for poverty alleviation, limited scholarly attention has been directed toward its potential transformation into a technology-enabled and productivity-oriented instrument that supports sustainable development objectives. Employing a qualitative research approach through content analysis, this study synthesizes interdisciplinary perspectives from Islamic economics, zakat governance, agricultural technology innovation, and digital sustainability studies. The study proposes a Digital Farming Zakat Platform framework consisting of five interconnected dimensions: geospatial-based beneficiary identification, smart farming empowerment, sharia-compliant financial mechanisms, agricultural market integration, and data-driven monitoring systems.

Although MSMEs are crucial to the economy, the sustainability of non-franchise micro-enterprises is often hampered by suboptimal financial governance. Low utilization of financial information, lack of separation between personal and business finances, and unstructured cash flow management are challenges that can affect long-term business sustainability. This quantitative study aims to evaluate the impact of financial record keeping, capital planning, and cash cycle management on the sustainability of non-franchise micro-enterprises in Mekargalih Village, Garut Regency. Using a survey method and saturated sampling technique, data from 70 business owners were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the study indicate that financial record keeping does not have a significant impact on business sustainability, indicating that recording activities are still administrative in nature and have not been optimally utilized as a basis for business decision-making. Conversely, capital planning and cash cycle management have been shown to have a positive and significant impact on business sustainability. Business owners who are able to plan capital needs and maintain smooth cash flow tend to be more able to maintain the stability of their business operations. Simultaneously, these three variables contribute 45.2% to business sustainability. This finding confirms that the ability to allocate capital andKeywords: business continuity; financial records; capital planning; cash cycle; micro-enterprises.

The Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) is an important component of the TNI, playing a vital role in safeguarding the nation's sovereignty in Indonesian waters and coasts. Human Resources (HR) are crucial for success in carrying out its duties. The quality of human resources is not limited to education and work experience, but also requires attention to other aspects, including welfare. Homeownership is a key indicator of the well-being of Indonesian Navy soldiers, significantly impacting the lives of Indonesian Navy soldiers and their families. However, Indonesian Navy soldiers often face financial difficulties, opting to purchase a home through a Home Ownership Loan (KPR) despite the high interest rates. Disciplined Savings (Tabplin) is a savings program run by the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) whose funds can be utilized by Indonesian Navy soldiers to finance urgent needs, including home ownership. However, due to limited information, the utilization of these funds has not been optimal.

This qualitative literature review examines how global litigation finance markets manage the tension between transparency requirements and innovation dynamics. Drawing on academic scholarship, policy reports, court decisions, and industry analyses, the review synthesizes evidence on disclosure obligations, funder influence, national security concerns, and emerging regulatory models. Findings show that while transparency enhances judicial integrity and mitigates conflicts of interest, excessive disclosure may undermine commercial confidentiality and inhibit investment in complex claims. Across jurisdictions, regulatory debates converge on the need for proportionate, court directed mechanisms such as limited in camera disclosure, provenance checks, and funder conduct safeguards. The review concludes that transparency and innovation are not mutually exclusive; instead, balanced regulatory frameworks can preserve market efficiency while protecting due process values and preventing geopolitical misuse. The study highlights significant data gaps and calls for deeper empirical research to guide evidence based policy making.

This study explores the role of Islamic economic law in promoting sustainable development by establishing an integrated relationship between ethical values, legal frameworks, and public policy. Although sustainable development has emerged as a major global agenda, its implementation continues to face challenges due to the limitations of conventional economic and legal systems, which often prioritize efficiency and economic growth while overlooking ethical and social dimensions. Employing a qualitative research approach through content analysis, this study examines classical Islamic jurisprudence, contemporary scholarly literature, and relevant policy documents to analyze the alignment between Islamic economic principles and sustainability frameworks. The findings demonstrate that Islamic economic law provides a comprehensive and ethically oriented framework based on fundamental principles, including tawhid (unity), adl (justice), maslahah (public interest), and maqasid al-shariah (objectives of Islamic law). These principles are manifested through various institutional and legal instruments, such as zakat, waqf, and risk-sharing financial mechanisms, which contribute to social justice, economic inclusion, financial resilience, and environmental sustainability.

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.

The development of digital governance has accelerated the transformation of public financial management through e-budgeting, e-reporting, and integrated digital financial systems. However, studies discussing digital public financial management in cross-border areas remain fragmented and dispersed across disciplines. This study aims to systematically map the development of research on digital public financial management in cross-border contexts through publication trends, influential journals, active researchers, keyword patterns, countries, institutions, and research areas. This research employed a qualitative approach using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis based on 48 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2020 and 2026. The findings indicate that publications increased significantly after 2023, reflecting growing scholarly interest in cross-border digital finance and governance. The literature is dominated by economics and finance perspectives, while public financial governance and fiscal accountability in border areas remain underexplored. In addition, knowledge production is still concentrated in a limited number of countries and institutions, particularly in Europe. This study contributes by providing an intellectual mapping of the field and identifying opportunities for future research integrating digital governance, public financial management, and border studies.

The rapid development of information technology drives various business sectors, including the beauty and health industry, to adopt digital systems in their operational management. A Beauty Clinic, a medium-scale aesthetic clinic, faces significant operational challenges in managing human resources, finance, and digital marketing in an integrated manner. This study aims to analyze the existing manual operational system of A Beauty Clinic using the PIECES framework (Performance, Information, Economy, Control, Efficiency, Service), design and configure an Odoo ERP Community Edition implementation integrating the HR, Invoicing/Point of Sale, and Social Marketing modules, and evaluate the operational efficiency improvements achieved. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method and Rapid Application Development (RAD) as the system development methodology. Data was collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews. The results show that the manual system experienced critical problems across all six PIECES dimensions. Post-implementation evaluation indicates an estimated 80% reduction in the secretary's administrative workload (from 20–25 hours to 3–5 hours per month), over 90% reduction in payroll error frequency, and an 87% reduction in transaction processing time per cashier transaction. The implementation of role-based access control and complete audit trails fundamentally addressed the security vulnerabilities identified in the as-is analysis. This study demonstrates that Odoo Community Edition is an effective, comprehensive, and cost-efficient ERP solution for small and medium-scale beauty clinics seeking to transform from fragmented manual systems to integrated, data-driven information systems.

This study aims to analyze the effect of workload and work benefits on employee performance, with work motivation serving as a mediating variable at PT. WOM Finance Tbk Regional Jabodebek. This study employed a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 162 employees selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with the assistance of SmartPLS 4 software to examine the relationships among variables. The results indicate that workload has a significant effect on employee performance but does not significantly affect work motivation. Meanwhile, work benefits have a significant effect on work motivation but do not directly and significantly affect employee performance. Work motivation was found to have a significant effect on employee performance. In addition, work motivation was unable to mediate the effect of workload on employee performance but was able to mediate the effect of work benefits on employee performance. These findings suggest that improving work benefits and work motivation are important factors in supporting more optimal and sustainable improvements in employee performance at PT. WOM Finance Tbk Regional Jabodebek.

This community service program was conducted at GPIA Sidoasri, Malang Regency, a church community located in a rural area with limited access to capital, technology, and market opportunities. To improve the economic welfare of its members, the church initiated a micro-enterprise producing banana chips and jackfruit chips. However, the business faced several challenges, including unattractive product packaging, a short shelf life due to the absence of preservatives, and difficulties in determining competitive and profitable selling prices. To address these issues, the service team provided training on marketing strategies and business capital management. The training covered product branding through attractive packaging, the use of digital promotion to expand market reach, the separation of personal and business finances, simple financial record-keeping, and responsible capital management practices. The program was implemented through lectures, interactive discussions, and participant mentoring. The results showed that participants gained a better understanding of marketing strategies and basic financial management. Although challenges such as limited capital and low digital literacy remained, participants demonstrated strong enthusiasm to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the program. This activity highlights that the success of micro-enterprises depends not only on product quality but also on effective marketing strategies and sound capital management. Furthermore, the program reinforces the importance of careful planning and responsible stewardship in business, as reflected in the wisdom of Proverbs 21:5.

The fiqh principle stating that a leader’s policies and actions toward the people must be based on public welfare is an Islamic legal principle emphasizing that every action and policy of a leader should be oriented toward the interests and well-being of society. This study aims to examine the meaning, normative foundations, concepts, and implementation of this principle in state governance. The research employs a library research method with a normative approach through the analysis of the Qur’an, Hadith, fiqh literature, scholarly journals, and relevant legislation. The findings indicate that this principle has a strong foundation in the Qur’an and Hadith, particularly regarding trustworthiness, justice, and the responsibility of leaders toward their people. Conceptually, this principle is closely related to the theories of maqashid al-shari’ah and siyasah shar’iyyah, which place public welfare as the primary objective of Islamic law. In practice, the principle is applied in various fields, including public administration, law and legislation, religious policies, as well as economic and fiscal policies. Its implementation can be seen in policies concerning the prohibition of interfaith marriage, marriage dispensation, marriage legalization hearings (isbat), the suspension of Hajj departures during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the management of state finances during the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Therefore, this principle demonstrates that Islamic law possesses flexible and adaptive characteristics while maintaining a strong orientation toward public welfare, making it relevant to modern systems of governance.

Bank stock price prediction is an important topic in the application of information technology because stock price movements are dynamic, sequential, and influenced by historical market patterns. This study aims to predict Indonesian banking stock prices using the Long Short-Term Memory method and evaluate the effect of Bayesian Optimization on model performance. The data used in this study consists of daily historical stock data of BBCA, BBNI, BBRI, BBTN, and BMRI from May 4, 2020, to May 4, 2026, obtained from Yahoo Finance. The input features include opening price, highest price, lowest price, closing price, and trading volume, while the prediction target is the stock closing price. The results show that the baseline model produced MAPE values ranging from 1.892% to 3.147%. The best baseline performance was obtained on BBCA with an R² value of 0.933, followed by BBTN with an R² value of 0.902. After optimization, performance improvement occurred on BBTN, with MAPE decreasing from 3.147% to 2.482% and R² increasing from 0.902 to 0.935. For BMRI, MAPE decreased from 2.385% to 2.206%, and R² increased from 0.687 to 0.743. This study concludes that Long Short-Term Memory can be used to predict Indonesian banking stock prices, while Bayesian Optimization can selectively improve model performance depending on the characteristics of each stock dataset.

This study aims to analyze the financial management practices of the Es Degan Bu Ulfa MSME and their compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through interviews and observations, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively.   This study aims to analyze the financial management practices of the Es Degan Bu Ulfa MSME and their compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through interviews and observations, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results indicate that financial management is still carried out simply and does not yet implement written records. Business income and expenses still rely on memory, even though business owners perform daily profit and loss calculations and separate personal and business finances. The main obstacles faced include limited human resources and a low understanding of financial record keeping and the SAK EMKM. Based on the analysis, financial management practices are not fully compliant with SAK EMKM standards. Therefore, the implementation of simple financial record keeping is necessary to structure business financial information and support business decision-making. Proper financial management can help improve business performance, monitor cash flow, evaluate profitability, and enhance accountability. Furthermore, the application of SAK EMKM is expected to facilitate access to financing and strengthen the sustainability and competitiveness of MSMEs in an increasingly competitive business environment.

This study aims to analyze the influence of love of money, hedonistic lifestyle, and locus of control on the financial behavior of students at the Faculty of Economics, Kadiri Islamic University. The background of this research is based on the low level of saving awareness and the tendency toward consumptive behavior among students, which are influenced by psychological factors and lifestyle. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consisted of students from the Faculty of Economics at Kadiri Islamic University, with samples selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis.The results showed that partially, love of money, hedonistic lifestyle, and locus of control had a significant effect on students’ financial behavior. A hedonistic lifestyle tended to have a negative effect on financial behavior, while locus of control had a positive effect in improving financial management abilities. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly influenced students’ financial behavior.This research is expected to contribute to the development of financial management knowledge, particularly regarding students’ financial behavior, and to serve as a consideration for students in managing their finances more wisely.

Taxes are the main source of government revenue used to finance expenditures and national development. This study aims to assess the effects of knowledge, awareness, and tax socialization on the compliance of land and building taxpayers. A quantitative approach and primary data were used, with 100 respondents selected through random sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS 26. The results show that taxpayer knowledge has a positive and significant effect on land and building taxpayer compliance, while taxpayer awareness and tax socialization do not have an impact on the compliance of PBB taxpayers. All three variables simultaneously have a significant positive impact on mandatory compliance with PBB. The findings highlight the critical role of taxpayer education in enhancing compliance, emphasizing that informed taxpayers are more likely to fulfill their obligations. Meanwhile, simply increasing awareness or providing general socialization without targeted knowledge transfer does not guarantee improved compliance. These results suggest that policy interventions should focus on strengthening taxpayer knowledge and understanding of regulations to maximize compliance rates. Overall, the study contributes valuable insights for policymakers and tax authorities in developing effective strategies to enhance taxpayer adherence to land and building tax regulations.
