Various countries are transforming in responding to the Industrial 4.0 Era, where technology plays an important role in various activities. The government sector is also not spared from this phenomenon and responds to industrial developments by transforming business processes that were previously manual to computerized through e-government. As the government's internal supervisor, the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP) needs to transform into utilizing technology and increase capabilities in the technology field in providing relevant added value through improving government performance to increase public trust. The use of technology by APIP is currently being developed towards continuous auditing to provide early warning of problems that can hinder the achievement of organizational goals. This study aims to review the readiness of APIP in response to Continuous Auditing implementation. This study uses primary data through a survey of respondents from Indonesia's National Government Internal Auditor (BPKP) and the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Finance with a total sample of 32 respondents. Research data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics. This research concludes that most APIPs are ready to implement CA, although some APIPs still have problems preparing them.

This study aims to discover whether the registration fee for computer-assisted test participants at a location is sufficient to cover the cost of administering the test and then to find out the factors dominating the determination of the rate. The Public Service Agency (BLU) is a government agency in providing services to the public in an effective, efficient and economical manner. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach. The data in this study are documents, financial data, and interviews. This research uses activity-based costing to calculate the service cost, while factor determination uses content analysis of interviews. The results showed that sixteen out of thirty test locations had lower registration rates than the test cost. The main factors that influence the determination of service rates are fairness and equal opportunity for participants. The result cannot generalize all conditions. This research shows that profit is not the main priority for BLU. Service expansion becomes prominent, although not all locations are financially profitable.

The financial relations between the central and local governments face many challenges, and the implementation needs more strengthening and synergism for better decentralization. Law number 1 of 2022 concerning Financial Relations between the Central Government and Local Governments (HKPD Law) is designed to increase society's welfare through effective and efficient spending that provides adequate public service. Kebumen Regency is one of Java's poorest regencies, which has taken enough attention to put more concern on. This study aims to evaluate the regional expenditure implemented by Kebumen Regency Government and explain how it can affect the poverty rate. This study uses a qualitative approach that takes works of literature and existing laws as references to be compared with existing conditions. This study found that the implementation of regional expenditure by the Kebumen Regency government is still not optimal, where the budget allocation is not following mandatory spending provisions. It has led to the Kebumen Regency government being unable to fulfill the Minimum Service Standards for implementing mandatory affairs of basic services, especially in education and health, which is the root cause of the high poverty rate.

As a public servant, the government has obligations and responsibilities to use every available resource effectively and efficiently. Therefore, using a capital budget is necessary to measure the extent to which the costs incurred can support the expected outputs and results. One of the methods that can be chosen in applying capital budgeting in the public sector is Cost-Benefit Analysis. This method will measure whether the results (benefits) obtained exceed the resources (costs) incurred. This paper aims to identify the use of the Cost-Benefit Analysis method in the public sector and the optimization of capital budgeting through its use. The results of the study indicate that there are several government programs and activities that apply the Cost-Benefit Analysis method in their implementation. Furthermore, it was also found that optimization resulted from implementing capital budgeting in the public sector.

This study explores the direct effect of fiscal decentralization on Gross Regional Domestic Product (PDRB) and central and local tax revenues and the indirect effect of fiscal decentralization on central and local tax revenues mediated by Gross Regional Domestic Product. This study uses the Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method on data from 33 provinces in Indonesia in the 2015-2019 period. Data on fiscal decentralization and local tax revenues are obtained from the Regional Government Financial Statements (LKPD), which have been audited by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), Gross Regional Domestic Product data is obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and central tax revenue data is obtained from the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP). Based on the test results in this study, it was found that fiscal decentralization has a positive and significant effect on Gross Regional Domestic Product and local tax revenues but not on central tax revenues. Furthermore, it was found that the Gross Regional Domestic Product had a positive and significant impact on local and central tax revenues. Associated with an indirect relationship, it was found that the Gross Regional Domestic Product acts as a Complementary Partial Mediator on the effect of fiscal decentralization on local tax revenues. In contrast, it acts as a Full Mediator on the effect of fiscal decentralization on central tax revenues.

Diseases caused by high sugar consumption have become a concern for health problems in various countries. Moreover, in several countries, this disease has become the main cause of the high mortality rate of its population. The high sugar consumption has also led to increased production of sugar-sweetened products. Therefore, efforts are needed to overcome and limit the high consumption and production of non-sugar-friendly products. One of the efforts that the government can implement as a regulator is implementing a tax scheme on sugar-sweetened products. This research aims to review the possibility of implementing taxes to control the negative impacts of beverage products containing sweeteners. This research uses a scoping review method by implementing taxes on products containing sweeteners internationally. The review of this implementation is used as a basis for providing recommendations for its implementation in Indonesia. This research concludes that tax regulations on beverage products containing sweeteners can be used to control people's consumption of sweeteners to maintain their health.
