Abstract

Hoaxes and misinformation have become a serious problem in modern society, especially with the rapid development of information technology and social media. The spread of false information can cause great harm, both individually and socially, such as damaging reputation, causing panic, and disrupting social and political stability. This study aims to analyze the role of information technology in combating hoaxes and misinformation. This research uses qualitative research methods. The data collection technique in this research is a literature study. The data that has been collected is then analyzed in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that information technology has an important role in combating hoaxes and misinformation. Social media platforms and technology companies can use various ways to combat hoaxes and misinformation, such as developing algorithms, verifying facts, working with fact-checking organizations, and providing education to users. However, it is important to remember that information technology is not the sole solution to combat hoaxes and misinformation. Joint efforts from various parties, such as the government, civil society, and academia, are needed to improve digital literacy and build a healthy information culture.

Abstract

Currently, the growth of information technology is rapidly evolving alongside the journey of a business entity, as seen in public accounting firms facing demands to effectively utilize technology to enhance efficiency, productivity, and service quality. Identifying several challenges that may arise in the implementation of information technology strategies, including information security issues, investment costs, complex system integration, and organizational cultural challenges, public ac- counting firms are advised to pay attention to specific aspects in designing and implementing information technology strategies, such as selecting appropriate technology, employee training, and periodic performance evaluation, which are also necessary. Thus, by adopting the right information technology strategy, public accounting firms can improve their operational effectiveness, enhance client satisfaction, and strengthen their competitive position in the rapidly changing and competitive market. The IT Balanced Scorecard can serve as an effective framework in creating IT strategies because the distribution of strategies is evenly spread across all parts of the company, enabling the company to develop not only from a financial perspective but also from a non-financial one. The implementation of IT strategies is expected to help accounting firms achieve the goals, vision, and mission of the company and assist companies in implementing or planning IT strategies.
