Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of human resource competency, utilization of information technology, and understanding of financial accounting standards on the quality of financial reports with an internal control system. This study uses primary data with 104 employees of the finance department at the Seventh-day Adventist Church (GMAHK) of the Eastern Indonesian Conference Union as respondents. This study uses path analysis for hypothesis testing. The findings show that human resource competence, understanding of accounting standards, and internal control systems have direct effect on quality of financial reports. In addition, the findings also show that human resource competence and a good understanding of accounting standards directly effect on the internal control system. In an indirect relationship, human resource competence and understanding of accounting standards are able to synergize with an effective internal control system in presenting quality financial reports. The findings of this study also indicate that information technology in GMAHK does not have a significant role in determining the quality of financial reports. The findings suggest that GMAHK needs to develop staff training, especially in mastering new information technology applications to ensure the continued quality of financial reports.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the existing forms of financial reporting and to find out stages, impacts and driving factors of the process of implementing ISAK 35 on the presentation of financial reports of the Manado Diocese of the Catholic Church based on the institutional theory of the form of coercive isomorphism and the Edward III model theory, namely communication, resources, disposition, bureaucratic structure. This study uses the method descriptive qualitative where data collection was carried out by means of interviews and documentation studies. The results show that the policy for implementing financial accounting information systems is not yet fully in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The organization has not fully adhered to the standard of ISAK 35. Financial records are processed using existing financial applications. By the aspect of resources, the attitude of the implementers still shows that the implementers still have minimal/not yet adequate knowledge about the accounting system created and communication between implementing agents is not yet optimal. The indicators in the bureaucratic structure variable in the form of SOPs have been achieved well because in 2019 the Manado Diocese has created a Financial Guideline that must be implemented by every parish, although in practice it is not yet perfect. In its implementation, there are still obstacles from a practical perspective, such as human error, hardware weaknesses, software weaknesses and system weaknesses. Efforts to overcome obstacles include continuing to update applications that have been created based on the latest standards and providing regular training materials that are packaged easily so that the attitude of the application implementing agents themselves can accept the new policy and those responsible for parish finances must be wiser and adhere to diocesan policies to produce financial reports that are transparent, accountable, and trustworthy.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of tax authorities services, tax socialization, and tax policy on taxpayer compliance with risk preferences as a moderating variable during the Voluntary Disclosure Program in Ternate City. The sample is the taxpayers and the data is obtained by questionnaire based on a Likert scale. This study applies structural equation model - partial least square to explain the correlation between indicators in construct variables (convergent validity test), test the consistency of the measuring instrument used (reliability test), and measure the extent to which a construct is different from other constructs (validity test discriminant). The coefficient of determination is carried out to explain the proportion of the dependent variable explained by the independent variable, the path coefficient test to explain the direction of the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable, and the effect size test to see how the independent variables to predict the dependent variable. The results show that partially tax authorities' services do not have a significant influence on taxpayer compliance, while tax socialization, tax policy, and risk preferences have a significant influence on taxpayer compliance. Risk preferences moderate the influence of tax authorities' services and tax socialization on taxpayer compliance, but do not moderate the influence of tax policy on taxpayer compliance in the Voluntary Disclosure Program in the Ternate City.

Abstract

ISAK No. 35 can be used as a reference in preparing non-profit-oriented financial reporting. One non-profit oriented entity is a church, in this case, the Evangelical Christian Church in Minahasa (or often called GMIM). This study was carried out at GMIM Bukit Hermon Malalayang which is located in Malalayang District, Manado City. This study aims to examine the preparation of church financial reports based on ISAK No. 35 at GMIM Bukit Hermon Malalayang. The study method used is a qualitative approach based on case studies. The results show that the presentation of GMIM Bukit Hermon Malalayang's financial reports has not implemented ISAK No. 35 concerning the presentation of financial statements of non-profit-oriented entities. However, financial reporting is simply based on the GMIM Synod Treasury Supervision and Management Service Guidelines. During the 2023 period, financial reporting has been adjusted to ISAK No. 35 which consists of a comprehensive income report, change in net assets report, financial position report, cash flow report and notes to financial reports.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the intention of financial managers to engage in whistleblowing within the Kotamobagu City Government. Using an associative quantitative research method, data were collected via questionnaires. The population for this study comprises financial managers within the Kotamobagu City Government. Data analysis was conducted using partial least squares (PLS) to determine the influence of each variable on the intention on whistleblowing. The results indicate that whistleblower protection, ethical judgment, and organizational commitment have a positive and significant impact on the intention of financial managers to engage in whistleblowing. Conversely, ethical climate, locus of control, level of seriousness of wrongdoing, and status of wrongdoer do not show significant effects. The variables of gender, age, and tenure also do not significantly influence whistleblowing intentions. These findings suggest that adequate protection for whistleblowers, good ethical judgment, and strong organizational commitment can encourage financial managers to report illegal or unethical actions. This study is expected to contribute to the development of government policies and organizational practices that support a conducive environment for whistleblowing and provide protection for whistleblowers.

Abstract

The audit opinion issued on government financial statements is the conclusion of the BPK audit process. These opinions provide a qualitative picture of financial management, reflecting the accountability and transparency of local government. This research analyses the influence of audit findings and follow-up actions on audit recommendations (or TLRHP) on audit opinions and examines the moderating effect of APIP capabilities on this relationship. An analytical method employed is binary logistic regression analysis with the absolute difference test. This study used secondary data from the BPK IHPS and the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (or BPKP) annual performance report. The data encompasses 37 provincial, regency, and city governments in North Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, and Gorontalo for the fiscal period 2018 to 2022. The results reveal that audit findings have no significant impact on audit opinions. Conversely, both TLRHP and APIP capabilities have a significant influence on audit opinions. Furthermore, APIP capabilities moderate the relationship between TLRHP and audit opinions but not the relationship between audit findings and opinions.
