Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have an important contribution in supporting the national economy, especially in terms of job creation and strengthening the local economy. However, most MSMEs still face challenges in compiling financial statements that are in accordance with applicable accounting standards. This study aims to analyze the extent to which the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK-EMKM) has been implemented by MSME actors, as well as identify the obstacles faced in the process. The research approach used is qualitative descriptive, with data collection techniques through interviews, direct observation, and document review. The findings of the study show that the level of understanding of MSME actors towards SAK-EMKM is still low, and the implementation of these standards is not evenly distributed. The main causative factors include limited accounting knowledge, lack of professional assistance, and lack of access to technical training. In addition, most MSMEs still rely on manual recording without referring to correct accounting principles, making it difficult in the audit process or applying for loans to financial institutions. Another obstacle is the lack of digital literacy in financial management, as well as the assumption that the preparation of financial statements is not a top priority. In fact, well-structured financial statements can be an important tool in business decision-making and open access to funding. This study recommends the importance of collaboration between the government, academics, and financial institutions to provide training, mentoring, and a simple reporting system that is in accordance with the characteristics of MSMEs. This effort is expected to increase the awareness and ability of MSMEs to manage finances in an accountable and transparent manner, as well as support business growth and sustainability in the long term.

Every business requires effort to start thinking about its business. Most businesses have a primary goal of making a profit, but now, they must         shift to thinking comprehensively about other aspects beyond profit, namely people. Preparing a cost budget is a crucial component in a sustainable business, because this business does not only focus on financial profits, but also pays attention to social and environmental impacts. Challenges in budgeting for business sustainability include high initial costs for environmentally friendly technologies, measuring non-financial impacts, rapid regulatory changes, and limited resources. This article discusses these challenges and offers practical solutions, such as a phased approach, leveraging government incentives, and collaboration with sustainable partners. With the right strategy in place, businesses can strike a balance between profitability and immortality goals, building a strong foundation for the long term.

This study aims to examine the role of Islamic accounting in the muamalah perspective as an important instrument in promoting sustainable economic growth. Islamic accounting, which is based on the principles of fairness, transparency, and benefit, plays a role not only in recording financial transactions, but also in ensuring business practices are in accordance with Islamic law. In the context of muamalah, principles such as the prohibition of riba, gharar, and maisir encourage the creation of a fair and stable economic system. This research uses the literature review method by analyzing relevant theories and previous research. The results of the study show that the implementation of Islamic accounting not only provides benefits for business people, but also contributes to sustainable development goals, such as poverty reduction, social welfare improvement, and environmental preservation. Thus, the application of Islamic accounting in muamalah practice can be a holistic solution to realize sustainable and equitable economic growth.

The management of zakat funds by the Sidogiri Amil Zakat Agency can become a social economic force for the Muslim community, with a more innovative approach compared to conventional activities, as revealed by this study. This study aims to explore and understand the implementation of zakat fund management at the Sidogiri Amil Zakat Institution.

This study aims to determine the validity of the presumption of innocence principle against perpetrators or suspected perpetrators of criminal acts of terrorism committed by law enforcement officials, especially Densus 88. This paper uses a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The results showed that the principle of presumption of innocence in handling criminal acts of terrorism is, in fact, still often ignored by law enforcement officials. Even the data obtained shows that several suspects/perpetrators have died during the legal process they underwent, as well as the actions of law enforcement officials who often commit acts that exceed limits and violate human rights. This principle needs to be implemented and strictly regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code as the master procedural law as well as in the law on the eradication of criminal acts of terrorism so that the strength and application of this principle increasingly get a place and position that can protect perpetrators/suspected perpetrators of criminal acts of terrorism.

This study analyzes the characteristics, risk, and return of stocks and bonds in Indonesia. The data used is historical data on stock and bond prices traded on the IDX during a 10-year period, from 2014 to 2024. The analysis methods used are descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. The results of the study show that stocks offer the potential for higher returns than bonds, but also with higher risk. Bonds offer better income stability and lower risk than stocks. The investment decision between stocks and bonds depends on the individual's risk profile and investment goals. Diversification remains an important investment strategy, regardless of risk profile.

This paper aims to analyze and correct misconceptions about the tendency towards legal research that is prevalent in our midst, especially legal research carried out by students who will complete their studies. The approach methods used in this paper are conceptual approach, analytical approach, and theoretical approach. Legal research so far has often been interpreted similarly to social research (identical). To overcome such an understanding, the science of law must be restored to its original identity. This effort can be made by making introductory courses in legal science, legal research methods, and legal philosophy as courses as the main "spearhead" that must be strengthened in the law faculty curriculum by providing epistemological understanding as the main foundation of legal identity. Therefore, the role of the three courses is not "just" taught, but needs to be positioned as a guide that directs that law and social science are on different paths and it is impossible for social science methods to be applied in legal science. Legal science is prescriptive, meaning prescribing, advocating, or recommending something to do/not do. In short, the science of law aims to judge something. This is different from social science in general which is descriptive, just tasked with presenting and describing facts that occur in society. Ideally, good legal research is directed to examine legal norms, principles, values, theories, and concepts. Not studying social facts, as is true in the social sciences. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan meluruskan miskonsepsi kecenderungan arah penelitian hukum yang lazim mengemuka di tengah-tengah kita, khususnya penelitian hukum yang diusung oleh mahasiswa yang akan menyelesaikan studi. Metode pendekatan yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah pendekatan konseptual, pendekatan analitis dan pendekatan teoretis. Peneltian hukum selama ini acap kali dimaknai serupa dengan penelitian sosial (identik). Untuk mengatasi pemahaman semacam itu, ilmu hukum harus dikembalikan ke jati dirinya yang asli.  Upaya tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan menjadikan mata kuliah pengantar ilmu hukum, metode penelitian hukum, dan filsafat hukum sebagai mata kuliah sebagai “ujung tombak” utama yang harus diperkuat dalam kurikulum fakultas hukum dengan memberikan pemahaman epistemologis sebagai landasan utama jati diri ilmu hukum. Oleh karena itu, peranan ketiga mata kuliah tersebut tidak “sekadar” diajarkan, namun perlu diposisikan sebagai pemandu yang mengarahkan bahwa ilmu hukum dan imu sosial berada pada jalur yang berbeda dan tidak mungkin metode ilmu sosial diterapkan dalam ilmu hukum. Ilmu hukum bersifat preskriptif, artinya meresepkan, menganjurkan atau menyogiayakan sesuatu untuk dilakukan/tidak dilakukan. Singkatnya, ilmu hukum bertujuan untuk menilai sesuatu. Hal itu berbeda dengan ilmu sosial pada umumnya yang bersifat deskriptif, sekadar betugas menyajikan dan menggambarkan fakta-fakta yang terjadi di masyarakat. Idealnya, sebuah penelitian hukum yang baik diarahkan untuk mengkaji norma, asas, nilai, teori dan konsep hukum. Bukan mengkaji fakta-fakta sosial kemasyarakatan, sebagaimana yang berlaku dalam ilmu-ilmu sosial.
