Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategic role of internal audit and accounting literacy in improving financial accountability among women-owned Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Financial accountability is viewed as the ability of MSMEs to present transparent, accurate, and reliable financial information to stakeholders such as investors, financial institutions, and partners. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis with qualitative interviews and observations. The sample consists of 75 women entrepreneurs selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews with key institutions (Cooperatives and MSME Office, BPKP, OJK, and local NGOs), and field observations. Quantitative results indicate that both internal audit and accounting literacy have significant positive effects on financial accountability. The regression analysis shows that accounting literacy (β = 0.736, Sig. = 0.001) contributes more strongly to financial accountability than internal audit (β = 0.085, Sig. = 0.005). Simultaneous testing (F = 11.630 > F-table = 2.712) confirms that these two factors jointly affect financial accountability. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.297) implies that 29.7% of the variance in financial accountability is explained by both variables. Qualitative findings reinforce that regular bookkeeping, simple internal control practices, and contextual financial education significantly enhance transparency and accountability. The study concludes that the synergy between internal audit and accounting literacy forms a crucial foundation for transparent and accountable financial governance in women's MSMEs. Policy implications suggest that local governments, financial regulators, and NGOs should collaborate to develop gender-sensitive financial literacy programs and simplified internal audit models that are adaptable to small-scale enterprises.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of financial technology has introduced cryptocurrency as a revolutionary innovation in the global digital economy. Despite its growing popularity as an investment instrument, the legal and economic frameworks governing cryptocurrency remain fragmented, particularly within the ASEAN region. This research aims to analyze the influence of currency law clarity and global economic regulation on cryptocurrency investment, with investor trust serving as a mediating variable, in the context of the Big Four ASEAN countriesIndonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. This study employs a normative juridical and descriptive quantitative approach. Data were collected through documentation, expert interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD) involving financial institutions such as OJK, Bank Indonesia, BEI, Phintraco Sekuritas, and the Directorate General of Taxes. Quantitative testing was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0 to assess the relationships among variables. The findings indicate that both currency law clarity and global economic regulation have a significant and positive effect on cryptocurrency investment, while investor trust plays only a limited mediating role. The strongest relationship is observed in Singapore, where the Payment Services Act (2019) provides comprehensive regulatory certainty and attracts institutional investors. In contrast, Indonesia’s fragmented regulatory stance recognizing crypto as a tradable commodity but not a legal tender creates uncertainty that weakens investor confidence. The study proposes the formulation of a “Triangle Policy Framework” integrating legal, economic, and fiscal regulation, and introduces the LCTR (Legal Cryptocurrency and Tax Revenue) model to optimize digital asset governance and fiscal transparency. This integrated model is expected to strengthen investor protection, enhance legal certainty, and support sustainable digital economic growth in the ASEAN region.
