<![CDATA[Background – Family is a key factor in creating quality resources to support successful development (Cabrera-Suarez, 2001). One of the family's responsibilities in improving the economy is to form a business group to generate additional income for the family (Morck, R & Young. B, 2003). The problem that is often faced by family businesses and small businesses is the lack of sources of capital and knowledge to run their businesses so that they can develop and expand their marketing. Luo, X., & Shen, J. (2009) stated that there is a need for a forum to improve the quality of human resources in small businesses. One of the most effective and efficient forums is the formation of cooperatives.

Design / methodology / approach – This study uses an approach to analyze the role of Savings and Loans Financial Institutions in good governance in terms of the implementation of ISO 26000 and the issues and strategies applied. The subject of this research is the Savings and Loans Financial Institution.

Finance, marketing, operations and others pay attention to good governance to achieve good performance. Savings and loan institutions are expected to be able to create a good management system so that they can influence the results of savings and loan institutions to achieve goals and achieve goals.
