Abstract

Decentralization in Indonesia over the past 50 years has undergone many changes and updates, reflecting the need to increase the role of local governments. This study analyzes the extent of the influence of accountability on investment in increasing regional independence in Indonesia. The study used data from 34 provinces (170 observations) using purposive sampling techniques. The results of the study show that better audit opinions increase regional investment opportunities, but audit opinions issued by BPK have a negative impact on regional independence. Meanwhile, investment has a positive effect on regional independence but does not mediate the relationship between accountability and regional independence. The implications of this study are closely related to efforts to encourage regional independence through increased investment, so that local governments need to increase accountability in financial management, as reflected in the audit opinion, in order to create a conducive investment climate.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the meaning of profit from the perspective of rice farmers in Kabalo Village, Kecamatan Tojo Barat, Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una, by considering economic, social, and spiritual aspects. Unlike previous studies that tend to define profit narrowly as financial or accounting outcomes, this research highlights the multidimensional interpretation of profit based on local wisdom. Using a qualitative descriptive design with a phenomenological approach, data were obtained through field observations, in-depth interviews with three landowning farmers, and documentation. The analysis followed phenomenological stages, namely reduction, imaginative variation, and meaning synthesis, complemented by triangulation and member checks to ensure data validity. The findings reveal that profit is understood in three main dimensions: as a reserve for basic needs, as future savings that ensure security, and as the fruit of patience in the farming process. This study contributes to behavioral accounting literature by demonstrating how rural communities integrate material and immaterial values in defining profit, while also offering insights into the role of local wisdom in shaping accounting concepts in the farming economy.

Abstract

Sustainability accounting has expanded beyond financial metrics to include environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions. However, conventional ESG reports typically dominated by numerical indicators and textual descriptions, often fail to capture the emotional, symbolic, and cultural aspects that shape stakeholder understanding and engagement. This study aimed to explore the role of photography as both a narrative and an evidentiary tool in ESG reporting. Using a qualitative visual ethnography approach, the research analysed original photographs taken in urban and community settings to represent dynamics related to ESG, such as human–nature relationships, informal governance, and collective social actions. The images were collected through field immersion and contextual observation. Findings suggested that photography can enrich ESG reporting by adding emotional depth and ethical meaning, thereby enhancing communication and stakeholder connection. This study advocates for photography as a valid and verifiable method to support more inclusive and engaging sustainability disclosures.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the application of environmental accounting in the management of cattle waste at the Harapan Baru II Farmers Group in Kabupaten Parigi Moutong. This research uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study method through interviews, observations, and documentation, which are analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The research results show that the group has processed livestock waste into economically valuable compost fertilizer, even tho they still use manual equipment. From a cost perspective, routine expenses such as the purchase of chalk and sacks have been recorded, but have not yet been separated from other operational costs. The group has also kept simple records through cash and asset books, but these are not fully compliant with PSAK 69. Socially, waste management receives community support because it does not cause pollution and increases income, but regulatory support from the government is still limited. This finding indicates that the application of environmental accounting among smallholder farmers is already happening in practice, but it needs to be strengthened through more detailed cost separation and the implementation of appropriate accounting standards.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of budget participation on the performance of local government agencies, exploring the mediating role of motivation and the moderating effect of budget politics. This study used an explanatory design and data collection through surveys from a population of 14,144 state civil servants involved in the budgeting process across 514 districts and cities in Indonesia, with a valid sample of 254. The results show that higher levels of participation and motivation in the budgeting process can enhance the performance of local government officials. Motivation mediates the relationship between budget participation and performance, suggesting that increased participation boosts performance through improved motivation. Furthermore, budget politics strengthens the effect of participation on motivation. The theoretical contributions of this study reinforce goal-setting theory and agency theory. Practical implications emphasize fostering greater budget participation by boosting employee motivation to improve performance. Local governments should aim to design more inclusive budgeting processes and consider political dynamics, as they can amplify the positive effects of participation. Additionally, implementing training and motivational programs can optimize the budgeting process and further improve the effectiveness of local governments.

Abstract

The photography industry is part of the creative economy, especially the process of determining the selling price of a product is the main focus of photographers in setting product prices. The study aims to determine the effect of value, profit, and cost on the practice of setting the selling price of products in the commercial photography business. It uses a qualitative approach with a netnographic method. The results of the study show that the determination of the selling price can be based on values ​​and culture, as well as the philosophy of thought that exists in society, where a phase in business is not always about profit, but more than that. It means that the profession is not only talking about profits, but how the profession is lived, enjoyed.

Abstract

Penelitian ini ditujukan guna mengeksplorasi taraf kepedulian serta pemahaman pelaku usaha di Pabrik Tahu Super Afifah Kota Palu mengenai konsep akuntansi lingkungan dan dampaknya terhadap keberlanjutan usaha. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, dengan subjek penelitian yakni pimpinan pabrik dan dua orang pekerja produksi. Pengumpulan data diselenggarakan melalui observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pabrik Tahu Super Afifah telah mengelola limbah secara efektif, limbah padat (ampas tahu) dijual menjadi pakan ternak, sedangkan limbah cair diolah menjadi biogas, sehingga mengurangi polusi dan memberikan manfaat ekonomi tambahan. Penerapan konsep akuntansi lingkungan juga terlihat dari investasi peralatan filtrasi dan pemeliharaan sistem pembuangan limbah, yang memastikan air limbah yang dibuang memenuhi standar lingkungan (tidak berwarna coklat dan tidak berbau). Namun, praktik akuntansi lingkungan belum sepenuhnya tercermin dalam catatan keuangan pabrik, biaya lingkungan seperti modifikasi peralatan tidak diidentifikasi atau dilaporkan, yang menunjukkan kurangnya pemahaman tentang pentingnya transparansi biaya lingkungan. Peningkatan penerapan formal akuntansi lingkungan di Pabrik Tahu Super Afifah dapat membantu proses pengidentifikasian serta pengelolaan biaya lingkungan dengan lebih efektif, membuat efisiensi biaya meningkat, memastikan kepatuhan pada peraturan, serta mendukung keberlanjutan lingkungan.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberdayakan petani durian di Desa Malino melalui penerapan pendekatan Neraca Modal Alam (Natural Capital Accounting) sebagai strategi peningkatan kapasitas budidaya dan pengelolaan lahan petanian secara berkelanjutan. Fenomena awal menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Desa Malino memiliki tanah subur dan potensi agroklimat yang sangat mendukung, pemanfaatannya belum optimal karena keterbatasan pengetahuan teknis petani, minimnya modal, dan meningkatnya penjualan lahan akibat tekanan ekonomi. Melalui kegiatan survei, pelatihan, dan pendampingan berbasis partisipatif, dilakukan pemetaan modal alam, pelatihan budidaya durian montong, pembentukan kebun percontohan, serta penguatan manajemen usaha tani. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada pengetahuan petani (48% menjadi 86%), peningkatan keterampilan teknis budidaya, serta perubahan sikap terhadap pengelolaan modal alam dan pentingnya menjaga lahan produktif. Program ini berkontribusi terhadap pencapaian SDG 1, SDG 2, dan SDG 15 melalui peningkatan kapasitas petani, penguatan ekonomi lokal, dan pelestarian ekosistem

The study results indicate that budget preparation is directed according to the region’s vision and mission and uses Key Performance Indicators to determine program priorities. Transparency and accountability are realized through the publication Center (SRC) as an innovation in converting plastic waste into fuel using pyrolysis technology. Although coordination challenges between fields and the need for system improvement remain, the Environmental Agency of Central Sulawesi Province continues to enhance budget management to support sustainable environmental development.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal a collaborative accountability model in the governance of the Muhammad Cheng Ho Mosque through the integration of agency theory and Ta’awun values as the basis for ethical accountability. A ideographic configurative case study approach was used to explore patterns of relationships and accountability practices between mosque administrators, congregations, and companies as key actors in the religious non-profit accountability system. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and documentation, then analyzed thematically to reveal the configuration of meanings that shaped accountability practices. The results show that accountability is carried out in two main dimensions: the formal dimension, through open financial recording and reporting to congregations and corporate partners; and the social-spiritual dimension, through the internalization of the values of trust, honesty, and the spirit of Ta’awun in mosque activities. The integration of these two dimensions gives rise to a collaborative accountability model that not only strengthens trust and moral legitimacy but also expands the function of accounting as a means of building social harmony. This study confirms that Islamic principles have the potential to harmonize modern governance mechanisms with spiritual ethics, while providing a foundation for the development of religious non-profit accountability practices that are locally relevant and adaptable to global demands.
