Purpose - The development of Islamic finance has made many Indonesia sharia companies register themselves as part of the Indonesia Sharia Stock Index (ISSI). The government always encourages sharia economic growth that upholds ethics. From the Islamic perspective, ethics is the foundation of all aspects of life. This study aims to analyze the performance of Indonesia sharia companies, by linking the importance of Corporate Ethical Identity (CEI) which is implemented in corporate culture.Method - Quantitative research is reviewed through the annual reports of manufacturing companies registered at ISSI for the 2018 and 2019. Linear regression analysis, along with moderated regression analytics, was used to analyze data from 154 manufacturing companies.Result - The results of the study show that CEI has a positive influence on firm performance, and ownership structure as a moderating variable strengthens the influence of CEI on firm performance.Implication - Sharia companies in Indonesia are advised to increase CEI reporting so as to improve financial performance in accordance with sharia principles.Originality - This study represents the inaugural investigation into CEI within Islamic companies operating in Indonesia, with a specific emphasis on corporate culture. The novelty in this research is the focus on company culture, and what distinguishes it from the mentioned study is the utilization of the ownership structure concept as a moderating variable. It also incorporates the utilization of the ownership structure concept as a moderating variable.

Purpose - The purpose of this research is to examine how the implementation of gender-friendly policies for women is reflected in local government accountability reports regarding the coherence of government policies-programs-reporting to the public, especially in Islamic areas, in the context of a democratic country like Indonesia.Method - The provincial governments of Aceh and West Sumatra were the main settings for this study, as they are the two main Islamic regions in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative content analysis approach to analyze the research data based on Accountability Reports in the span of 2017-2021, which was the primary data source for this research.Result - The results showed that the disclosure of gender issues in the accountability reports of the two provincial governments was still low, below 50% of the 18 indicator items used in this study. In addition, there is no standardized format for submitting government performance indicators and explanations.Implication - This research emphasizes that there is still a need for public encouragement for specific issues to receive an optimal policy share at the local government level.Originality - This is the first study known to examine Islamic values and gender disclosures in local government settings.

Purpose - This study aims to prove the impact of the distribution of social funds (qardhul hasan-QH and zakah funds) on the cost of a Profit-Sharing Investment Account (PSIA) immediately and for a long period in Islamic banks.Method - The research is based on panel data from 11 Islamic commercial banks (IB) in Indonesia from 2009 to 2021. Data were analyzed using the generalized least squares (GLS) random-effects method with robust standard error.Result - This research proves that the distribution of social funds (the distribution of QH and zakah funds) has a positive economic impact in the short period but the distribution of social funds has a negative economic impact in the long period.Implication - This study contributes to bank directors in considering the social activities of banks funded by QH funds by considering the effectiveness of social fund distribution, hence having positive economic consequences for bank performance.Originality - This research contributes to the development of previous literature in two ways. First, we use CSR performance proxies that are different from previous studies, namely the distribution of QH and zakah funds. The distribution of these funds is a proof of the bank's legitimacy to care about social, economic, and environmental issues. Second, we use the cost of PSIA as an economic consequence of CSR performance.

Population of this study is 9 Islamic Banks in Indonesia in 2017-2021. The selection of samples in this study used purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using Panel Data regression analysis, Classic Assumption test, F-test, and T-test.Result - The results showed that two of the four variables thought to have an impact on ISR disclosure are found to have a significant impact. In contrast to leverage, which has a negative but considerable impact on ISR disclosure, company age has a positive and significant impact. The other two factors (profitability and company size) had less of an impact on ISR disclosure.Implication - Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia suggest to improve the financial performance in Corporate Social Responsibility with Isamic Social Reporting Index.Originality - This is a study to prove the effect of corporate social responsibility disclosure on the annual report of Islamic banks using the Islamic Social Reporting Index indicator.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to explore the application of the values of Al-Ghazali Islamic business ethics to tax consultants in Indonesia and to compare them with the Indonesian Tax Consultant Professional Code of Ethics.Method - This research approach uses phenomenology. There were 3 informants interviewed in the study consisting of tax consultants who are Muslim in Indonesia, fiscal authorities who are Muslim in Indonesia, and experts in the Islamic religion.Result - This research gives the result that the principle of integrity can be expanded in terms of its definition and meaning with the mujahadah component in Al-Mizan, so that the integrity referred to here is trying to keep away bad traits that are prohibited in Islam. Moreover, on the concept of al ihya', tax consultants have a main orientation to profit and the motivation to help taxpayers is still limited to improving the image of their consulting services business.Implication - The concept of Islamic Business Ethics by Al-Ghazali is a broader and deeper ethic so it is very appropriate if it is adapted to the Indonesian Tax Consultant Code of Ethics, especially regarding responsibility and motivation as servants of God.Originality - This research is the first study that used a phenomenological approach in uncovering the reflection of the concept of Islamic business ethics by Al-Ghazali on the implementation of a tax consultant's code of ethics.

Purpose - This study aims to explore Kuntowijoyo's prophetic social thinking to make mauquf ‘alaih the main focus of waqf accountability.Method - This research is a conceptual paper that attempts to construct the concept of waqf accountability in a prophetic social approach.Result - The author's opinion emphasizes the rights of the mauquf ‘alaih by highlighting how the accountability role of waqf needs to shift emphasis from serving stakeholders hierarchically to being re-engineered towards beneficiaries (mauquf ‘alaih). This requires a reconceptualization of the meaning of waqf, which must be seen as part of a wider effort to achieve social justice and the welfare of the ummah. In this case, the prophetic social value is considered as the conceptual framework.Implication - Theoretically and contextually prophetic social principles are able to give birth to a reorientation of waqf accountability towards deeper humanist and emancipatory realizations, as well as more holistic and religious accountability practices.Originality - This research is the first study that used prophetic sosial approach in waqf accountability.
