sed by external parties such as creditors, investors, and government agencies. Financial statements in accordance with SAK ETAP can increase company transparency and accountability. This financial transparency and accountability will increase external parties' trust in the company. Therefore, an analysis of the preparation of financial statements at CV Saudagar Jaya Sukses is needed. This analysis aims to assess the conformity of the prepared financial statements with the provisions of SAK ETAP. This study uses a descriptive research type with a qualitative approach. The results of the study indicate that the preparation of financial statements at CV. Saudagar Jaya Sukses is still not fully in accordance with the provisions contained in SAK ETAP, so various improvements are needed to improve the quality of the resulting financial statements.
Abstract:Digital financial transparency is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly for building accountable and trustworthy public institutions. Limited studies examine whether digitalization…
actually delivers accessible financial information and whether such transparency strengthens sustainable public governance. This study addresses that gap by constructing an original, multi-dimensional, portal-level Digital Financial Transparency Index (DFTI) and linking it to sustainable public governance, an association not previously tested at the Indonesian subnational level. Using a quantitative, explanatory design, financial management and public information portals are assessed through content analysis. Twenty-one indicators covering organizational information, financial transparency, and website accessibility are aggregated into the DFTI. Sustainable public governance is proxied by the 2024 electronic-based government system (SPBE) index, the only nationally standardized, externally assessed, and annually published measure of digital public administration maturity in Indonesia. Ordinary least squares regression tests the hypothesis, complemented by Spearman correlation as a non-parametric robustness check suited to the small city and regency subsamples. The findings show DFTI has a positive and significant effect on SPBE (β = 0.026; p = 0.032). The effect operates through content rather than appearance: among regencies, organizational information and financial transparency correlate significantly (p < 0.05) with SPBE, website accessibility does not. The results provide recommendations that local governments should adopt a standardized minimum financial-disclosure content and prioritize the weakest indicators, which are raw data, citizen-friendly budget summaries, and personal data protection. Also the provincial government should channel budget-capacity support to low-DFTI regencies, where transparency and maturity are most strongly associated with budget resources to advance SDG 17.
Abstract:Maintaining employee commitment is particularly important in palm oil mill operations, where shift work, physical demands, and limited career development opportunities may affect employees’ attachment to the organization.…
on. This study examines the influence of work-life balance and career development on the organizational commitment of operational employees at the Rimba Belian Palm Oil Mill Unit, Region 5, PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV. A quantitative associative design was employed, involving all 114 operational employees through a census approach. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression after completing instrument and classical assumption tests. The findings indicate that work-life balance and career development each have a positive and significant influence on organizational commitment. Both variables also jointly contribute significantly to strengthening employees’ commitment to the organization. Work-life balance showed a relatively stronger contribution, suggesting that employees’ ability to manage work demands and personal responsibilities is particularly important in a shift-based operational environment. This study extends the discussion of organizational commitment to the palm oil agro-industry, which remains less frequently examined than service and public-sector organizations. The findings imply that management should improve shift arrangements, rest periods, access to training, and the transparency of promotion and career development processes to maintain employees’ long-term commitment
Abstract:This study aims to explore and evaluate the development of studies on shariah-based governance in the takaful industry through a systematic literature review approach. Sharia governance has an important role in ensuring…
that all processes, policies, and operational activities of takaful companies are implemented in accordance with sharia regulations, while supporting the principles of transparency, accountability, fairness, and protection of participants' rights. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by adopting the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. The databases used are Scopus and Google Scholar with the keywords "Shariah Governance", "Islamic Governance", "Takaful Industry", "Takaful Governance", and "Shariah Governance in Takaful". Through the process of identification, screening, and feasibility assessment, 7 articles that meet the inclusion criteria were obtained for thematic analysis. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of sharia governance in the takaful industry is determined by five main elements: the role and competence of the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS), the sharia compliance and audit system, the corporate governance mechanism, the transparency of information disclosure based on AAOIFI standards, and the support of the regulatory framework. This research provides theoretical contributions to the development of the concept of sharia governance in the Islamic insurance industry as well as practical recommendations for regulators, takaful operators, and Sharia Supervisory Boards.
Abstract:The increasing demand for corporate transparency in sustainability practices, the development of ESG reporting regulations in Indonesia, and the persistent issues of credibility in disclosures such as greenwashing and inconsistent…
consistent information quality indicate that Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures are not always perceived positively by the market. This condition is important because ESG disclosures that are not supported by substantive implementation may be viewed as an additional cost, risk, or merely a form of compliance, which in turn may reduce firm value. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of environmental disclosure, social disclosure, and governance disclosure on firm value by incorporating independent commissioners as a moderating variable. Firm value is measured using Tobin’s Q because it reflects market valuation of the company’s performance and growth prospects. The sample consists of companies included in the SRI-KEHATI index during the 2020–2024 period, with a total of 227 unbalanced panel observations analyzed using panel data regression. The results show that environmental disclosure, social disclosure, and governance disclosure have a negative and significant effect on firm value. Independent commissioners are able to weaken the negative effect of environmental disclosure and governance disclosure on firm value, but they are unable to moderate the relationship between social disclosure and firm value. These findings suggest that ESG disclosure in sustainability-oriented companies is not yet fully perceived as a value-creating factor when it is not supported by convincing implementation quality. Practically, these findings are intended to encourage companies not only to increase the extent of ESG disclosure, but also to strengthen the substantive implementation and supervisory role of independent commissioners to enhance the credibility of sustainability information

licy outcomes but also by the quality of governance practices implemented by local governments. This study aimed to examine the influence of policy transparency, public participation, bureaucratic responsiveness, service quality, and public trust on the perceived effectiveness of local economic policy. A quantitative research approach with an explanatory research design was employed. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 200 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), including descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, the coefficient of determination (R²), t-tests, and F-tests. The results revealed that all measurement instruments were valid and reliable, and the data satisfied the assumptions required for multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicated that policy transparency, public participation, bureaucratic responsiveness, service quality, and public trust each have a positive and significant influence on the perceived effectiveness of local economic policy. Furthermore, the F-test demonstrated that all independent variables simultaneously have a significant effect on the dependent variable. Among the five predictors, public trust was identified as the strongest determinant of perceived policy effectiveness. The study concludes that strengthening good governance practices through transparency, citizen participation, responsive bureaucracy, high-quality public services, and institutional trust can substantially improve public perceptions of local economic policy effectiveness. These findings provide practical implications for local governments in designing and implementing more effective, accountable, and citizen-oriented economic policies

Abstract:This study examines the role of accounting standards and financial transparency in strengthening public accountability in Indonesia. Using a descriptive-comparative literature review, this study analyzes six selected journal…
rnal articles published by Indonesian universities that discuss the implementation of accounting standards, financial reporting quality, accessibility of financial information, accounting information systems, and fraud prevention. The findings reveal that the implementation of accounting standards, including SAK ETAP and PSAK 112, contributes to improving the consistency and reliability of financial reporting. However, differences in reporting capacity, limited accessibility of financial statements, and weaknesses in information systems remain key challenges to achieving transparent and accountable financial governance. The study also highlights the relevance of fraud detection perspectives, particularly the fraud triangle theory, in supporting accountability through early identification of financial reporting risks. These findings indicate that public accountability in Indonesia requires not only compliance with accounting standards, but also stronger financial transparency, accessible reporting, reliable accounting information systems, and improved institutional capacity. The study contributes by positioning accounting standards and financial transparency as an integrated framework for enhancing public accountability in both public and private sector contexts in Indonesia.
