Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of Intergovernmental Transfers and Regional Expenditure on the financial performance of local governments in the regencies and municipalities of North Sumatra Province. The research was conducted to provide empirical evidence regarding the role of transfer funds and regional spending in improving local government financial performance. A quantitative approach was employed using a population of 33 regencies and municipalities in North Sumatra Province 2021–2024 period. A saturated sampling technique was applied, in which all members of the population were selected as the research sample. The data were analyzed using panel data regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings indicate that Intergovernmental Transfers and Regional Expenditure simultaneously have a significant effect on the financial performance of local governments in the regencies and municipalities of North Sumatra Province. Furthermore, partial testing reveals that both Intergovernmental Transfers and Regional Expenditure have a positive and statistically significant effect on local government financial performance. These findings suggest that effective management of intergovernmental transfer funds and efficient allocation of regional expenditure play a crucial role in enhancing local government financial performance. Therefore, local governments are expected to optimize the utilization of transfer funds and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of regional expenditure to support better financial governance and strengthen public service delivery.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze business governance practices and the use of digital technology in MSMEs in Lauwonu Village, Tilango District, Gorontalo Regency, and to develop a digital-based governance model relevant to MSMEs. The study used a qualitative approach with the Participatory Action Learning System (PALS) method developed by Mayouk in 2000. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, documentation, and mentoring of six MSMEs in Lauwonu Village. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification using triangulation of sources and techniques to maintain data validity. The results of the study indicate that MSME governance in Lauwonu Village is still not running optimally. Most MSMEs have not recorded and reported their finances routinely and systematically. Financial management is still carried out simply and some business actors still mix personal and business finances. The use of digital technology is also still limited, although some MSMEs have used Microsoft Excel and the Buku Kas application. Through mentoring activities, MSMEs began to understand the importance of financial recording and the use of digital technology in business management.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Sharia compliance of BPJS Kesehatan as Indonesia’s national social health insurance system by examining its contractual structure, contribution mechanism, fund management, penalty system, and participation status. The research is motivated by the need to evaluate whether state-based social insurance aligns with Islamic insurance (takaful) principles within fiqh muamalat. A qualitative case study approach was applied using interviews, field observations, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using inductive and deductive methods based on Islamic jurisprudence and social insurance theory, supported by comparative perspectives from Indonesian Islamic institutions. Findings show that BPJS Kesehatan is structurally aligned with the Islamic principle of tabarruʿ through collective risk-sharing and mutual assistance (taʿāwun). However, it does not fully comply with Islamic insurance contracts such as wakālah bi al-ujrah due to its statutory nature and lack of formal Sharia governance. In addition, investment of funds in non-Sharia-compliant instruments and the contested nature of late payment penalties indicate partial Sharia non-compliance at the operational level. Despite these issues, participation is considered permissible (mubāḥ) based on public necessity and welfare considerations. The study concludes that BPJS Kesehatan is a hybrid social insurance system with partial Sharia alignment, requiring governance reform in investment management and contractual standardization to achieve full compliance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the cost perspective in the selection of cattle sales channels by farmers in Bongomeme, Gorontalo. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with primary data obtained through in-depth interviews and observations of four key informants, consisting of farmers who use brokers (dahangi) and those who sell directly. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results show that farmers experience an illusory profit because they only apply a cash-basis perspective, ignoring opportunity costs such as unpaid personal labor and natural feed. The decision to choose a sales channel is heavily influenced by risk aversion, liquidity needs, and information asymmetry. Farmers who use brokers prioritize risk transfer and fast cash to avoid the fear of price manipulation, while those selling directly optimize margins by utilizing personal assets and digital literacy (social media). The study concludes that direct selling is the most efficient channel when farmers apply a full costing method to accurately calculate the real cost of production.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of system quality and information quality on user satisfaction of the Agency-Level Financial Application System (SAKTI), with perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness placed as intervening variables. SAKTI is a mandatory web-based system used by all government work units to manage state finances. The study integrates the DeLone and McLean Information System Success Model with the Technology Acceptance Model. It applies a quantitative explanatory design. Primary data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale from 85 active SAKTI users at partner work units of the Type A1 State Treasury Office of Gorontalo. The sample was drawn through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS 4 (Ringle et al., 2024). The study tested eighteen hypotheses covering direct effects, single mediation, and sequential mediation. Eleven hypotheses were accepted and seven were rejected. System quality and information quality did not affect user satisfaction directly. Their effect ran through perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Perceived usefulness was the strongest direct predictor of user satisfaction. Information quality reached user satisfaction through a full sequential path, while system quality did not. The findings confirm that user beliefs carry the effect of objective system attributes on satisfaction.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of audit knowledge and professional skepticism on audit quality, with auditor ethics serving as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach was employed using survey data collected from auditors at the Inspectorate of Gorontalo Province. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that audit knowledge and professional skepticism have positive and significant effects on audit quality. Auditor ethics strengthens the relationship between audit knowledge and audit quality. However, auditor ethics negatively moderates the relationship between professional skepticism and audit quality. These findings indicate that auditors with adequate knowledge and strong professional skepticism tend to produce higher-quality audits. Furthermore, ethical values enhance the effective application of audit knowledge in the auditing process. This study contributes to the understanding of factors influencing audit quality in the public sector and provides practical implications for improving auditor competence, ethical conduct, and audit performance within government institutions.

Abstract

The exponential growth of social media has established influencer marketing and paid advertising as dominant promotional channels, yet a critical knowledge gap persists regarding their comparative effectiveness when brands deploy both strategies concurrently. Prior research predominantly examines these channels separately, failing to address the practical reality brands face in allocating resources across simultaneous campaigns. This study fills this void using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theoretical lens to assess comparative effectiveness of influencer marketing versus social media ads on purchase intention, mediated through brand awareness and perceived value. Analysis incorporated responses from 270 active social media users recently exposed to both promotional formats within 3-6 months. Employing PLS-SEM methodology, six hypotheses were examined: two testing direct relationships (H1-H2) and four assessing mediation mechanisms (H3-H6). Results provide empirical validation across all hypotheses. Influencer marketing exhibits superior direct impact on purchase intention, while social media advertising achieves greater effectiveness via indirect routes, especially through enhanced brand awareness and value perception formation. This research advances literature by delivering the inaugural comparative examination of concurrent marketing stimuli within an integrated analytical structure, revealing how consumers mentally process simultaneous promotional communications. For practitioners, findings inform strategic decisions regarding resource distribution and the construction of cohesive communication approaches capitalizing on each channel's distinct advantages.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the determination of production cost using the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) method at Putra Mandiri Mebel. The Activity-Based Costing method was chosen because it is capable of calculating costs more accurately in manufacturing companies by allocating costs based on the activities consumed in the production process—from the beginning through to the finished goods stage—in a more specific manner compared to conventional methods. With this method, the cost of goods manufactured can be calculated more precisely based on the activities consumed by the product. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using data collection techniques such as document analysis and interviews. The results of this study indicate a difference in calculations between the conventional method and the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) method. For sofa products, overcosting occurred, where the conventional method estimated the COGS for the sofa at Rp 32,285,105, and the COGS for teak chairs at Rp 40,583,731. Meanwhile, the estimated COGS for products using the ABC strategy at Putra Mandiri Mebel resulted in Rp 26,865,102 for sofas and Rp 35,807,447 for teak chairs. This study recommends that the company adopt Activity-Based Costing (ABC) to review its cost calculation methods when determining COGS.
