Abstract

This research aims to understand the factors that influence the ups and downs of cocoa prices, their impact on farmers' welfare, and explore the role of sustainability accounting in strengthening the economic resilience of cocoa farmers. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores the experiences and adaptive strategies developed in dealing with price dynamics and maintaining sustainable plantation practices. The findings show that cocoa price volatility is influenced by imbalances between demand and supply, climate change, and global market volatility. These price fluctuations have an impact on the socio-economic conditions of farmers: when prices rise, farmers' incomes increase which allows the fulfillment of basic needs and sustainability investments; On the contrary, falling prices create economic pressures and a decrease in quality of life. The implementation of sustainability accounting has been proven to help farmers manage risks, as well as maintain sustainable plantation business practices amid market uncertainty. These findings are expected to contribute to the formulation of policies that are in favor of improving the welfare of cocoa farmers and strengthening sustainable plantation development.

Abstract

Efforts to eradicate corruption involve various steps including strict law enforcement, strengthening the integrity of state institutions, increasing public awareness, and improving the monitoring and transparency system. The term forensic accounting in Indonesia emerged after the success of Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) in uncovering the Bank Bali case. The PwC office was able to show a complex flow of funds in the form of a diagram of light emerging from the sun (sunburst). This research is a normative research that studies the purpose of law, values โ€‹โ€‹of justice, validity of legal rules, legal concepts, and legal norms. Forensic accounting is a very effective tool in uncovering financial fraud in public companies. Not only operating on financial data analysis, forensic accountants are also trained to understand and apply relevant legal principles. They are able to identify suspicious patterns and compile evidence that is acceptable in court. This skill becomes very important, especially when fraud involves complex schemes hidden in layers of seemingly legitimate transactions. The role of Forensic Accountants is vital in efforts to prevent and reduce corruption. The better the implementation of forensic audits, the more optimal fraud prevention can be carried out. With a proactive and solution-oriented role, forensic accountants have the potential to contribute to the prevention and reduction of corruption at various levels, from the corporate level to the national level.

Abstract

Access to basic sanitation services represents a critical component in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Target 1.4.1, which emphasizes the necessity of providing essential services to all segments of the population without discrimination. Although national statistics indicate a gradual improvement in access, significant disparities persist at the subnational level, highlighting challenges in local fiscal governance. This study aims to analyze the simultaneous influence of Corruption Control (CC, measured using the Corruption Control Effectiveness Index (CCEI), Financial Report Quality (QFR, measured through audit opinions), and Local Own-Source Revenue (LOSR) on access to basic sanitation services. Employing a quantitative approach through a multiple linear regression model, this research utilizes panel data from 495 local governments across Indonesia over the period 2021โ€“2022. The empirical results reveal that all three independent variables CC, QFR, and (LOSR) exert a positive and statistically significant effect on the expansion of sanitation service coverage. These findings underscore the relevance of the good governance framework in the context of public financial management at the local level. The study concludes that strengthening fiscal integrity, enhancing financial transparency, and promoting fiscal autonomy are key strategies to accelerate equitable and sustainable access to sanitation services. Furthermore, the results suggest that improvements in local institutional quality and capacity can play a vital role in advancing inclusive development. Future research is recommended to incorporate additional indicators under SDG Target 1.4.1, such as access to safe drinking water, adequate housing, and productive assets, to generate a more comprehensive understanding of local development dynamics.

Abstract

The importance of measuring the quality of government financial reports by reviewing human resource competencies and the use of inventory management technology in moderating their relationship is the objective of this study. By distributing questionnaires to 40 regional agencies in the Central Sulawesi Provincial Government, to parties directly involved in the operation of financial reports and inventory systems, through purposive sampling, a total of 114 research respondents were tested. The findings reveal that, directly, the relationship between human resource competence and the quality of financial reports is crucial, so that the ability, knowledge, and understanding of reporting preparation are very necessary, with a significant value of 69%. In addition, the use of the Central Sulawesi Provincial Government's inventory management information system was able to strengthen the relationship between the two, although it had a value of less than 15%, which was lower than the direct relationship. Thus, these findings emphasize the need to improve the quality of the apparatus in utilizing information technology to provide quality information efficiently, effectively, and economically as a form of government accountability and transparency to the public.
