Abstract

The digital era has brought about significant transformation in the accounting profession, offering greater convenience, efficiency, and accuracy through technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, blockchain, and automation. However, these technological developments have also given rise to complex ethical challenges, particularly in terms of financial statement integrity, data security, and transparency. This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities faced by the accounting profession in building and maintaining professional ethics amidst advances in digital technology. Based on the literature review, the main challenges faced by accountants include data privacy and security issues, the potential for misuse of technology to manipulate financial statements, and the loss of subjective elements of professionalism due to automation. On the other hand, technology also provides opportunities to increase transparency of financial statements, strengthen supervision and audits, and enrich accountants' competencies in deeper data analysis. This study suggests the importance of ethics training that is more relevant to technological developments, as well as the wise use of technology to strengthen the principles of accountability and integrity in the accounting profession. The findings of this study are expected to provide insight for practitioners, educators, and policy makers in creating a more professional and ethical work environment in the world of digital accounting.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of accountability and transparency in public financial management, particularly in the vocational education sector. The objective of the research is to examine the implementation of Government Accounting Standards (SAP) and the Government Internal Control System (SPIP), as well as their contribution to improving the quality of financial reports at SMK Negeri 1 Patumbak. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews, observations, and documentation. Key informants consist of the principal, vice principals, treasurer, and school operator. Data analysis follows Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the application of SAP at SMK Negeri 1 Patumbak refers to Government Regulation No. 71 of 2010 through the use of an online-based financial reporting application. This enhances efficiency, transparency, and accuracy of reporting. However, limited understanding of accrual-based accounting among human resources remains a challenge. The implementation of SPIP has been carried out through function segregation, authorization, and transaction documentation, yet routine internal audits have not been conducted, resulting in less-than-optimal oversight. Overall, the application of SAP and SPIP has positively impacted the quality of the school’s financial reports, as reflected in improved relevance, reliability, comparability, and transparency. Nevertheless, strengthening human resource capacity, increasing training intensity, and ensuring consistency in audit practices are required to further enhance report quality and maintain accountability within the school.
