Abstract

This study aims to examine the intervening influence of the quality of financial report information on governance based on the competence of personnel and the internal control system in the Makassar City Government. The objective of this research is to analyse the direct and indirect effects between the independent, dependent, and intervening variables. The data collection techniques (instruments) used include observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The population in this study comprises 44 regional work units (SKPD) in the Makassar City Government, consisting of 687 individuals selected purposively. The sample size of 268 respondents was determined using the Solving formula. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with the SmartPLS program. The results of the study indicate that competence has a significant effect on the quality of financial report information. The internal control system also has a significant effect on the quality of financial report information. However, competence does not significantly contribute to government governance. Similarly, the internal control system does not significantly enhance government governance. The quality of financial report information has a positive and significant impact on government governance. The findings suggest that improvements are needed in the competence area, particularly in enhancing independence in performing core duties and functions. Regarding the internal control system, there is a need for better implementation to identify the added value in each aspect of governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the financial management practices of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The context of this study is based on the challenges faced by MSMEs in managing their finances, which often lead to difficulties in business planning and development.

The findings of the study show that many MSME owners do not have a formal financial plan, which has an impact on cash flow management and future planning. In addition, they lack the courage to invest in modern technologies that can improve productivity. The conclusions of this study highlight the importance of financial education and applied technology to improve the financial management practices of MSMEs, which in turn can support their desire to support businesses.

Abstract

Blockchain Technology (BCT) has emerged as a transformative tool for enhancing inter-organisational collaboration (IOC) workflows, particularly in complex, multi-stakeholder environments such as the public sector’s electronic payment (e-payment) systems. In Malaysia, e-payment processes are a critical component of the government’s digital transformation agenda, as outlined in the MYDigital blueprint. However, significant challenges persist in managing IOC workflows, with fragmented operational systems and reliance on manual processes undermining the efficiency and reliability of transactions among government agencies, acquiring banks, and the accounting office. The 2022 Auditor General’s Report highlighted systemic inefficiencies, revealing that acquiring banks and collection agents frequently failed to meet service provision timelines, leading to delays in transferring over RM6.0 billion in government-collected funds between 2015 and 2020. These delays underscore the limitations of the current system, including service discrepancies, operational complexity, and inadequate communication. Given BCT’s inherent features—transparency, decentralisation, immutability, and automation—it offers a promising solution to these persistent issues. This study aims to (i) identify trends and statistics in BCT-related research within the construction industry from 2017 to 2024 and (ii) evaluate key topics within BCT literature relevant to IOC workflows. Using a systematic search and screening process across major databases (Scopus and Mendeley), 35 eligible articles were selected for analysis. A thematic analysis, conducted with ATLAS.ti 24, identified seven critical themes: autonomous penalties enforcement, middleware for fragmented systems, automation of manual processes, SLA monitoring platforms, legality of smart contracts, reduction of operational complexity, and improvement of IOC workflow communication. The findings offer valuable insights into BCT’s suitability for addressing IOC workflow challenges and highlight potential avenues for future research. These insights are expected to guide public sector organisations in accelerating the adoption of BCT as a solution for improving e-payment processes and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Abstract

Milkfish is an important fisheries commodity in South Sulawesi, both for domestic consumption and as an export product. However, the high price volatility of milkfish often poses challenges for producers, traders, and consumers. This study aims to analyze the price volatility of milkfish in South Sulawesi from 2018 to 2023, using secondary data on producer prices and total milkfish production. The analysis methods include calculating the coefficient of variation and linear trend analysis to measure price fluctuations and trends over the period. The results indicate significant price fluctuations, especially in 2020 and 2021, which were influenced by supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, milkfish prices have shown a steady increase from 2018 to 2023, despite sharp price spikes in certain periods. Factors affecting price volatility include production levels, distribution policies, and external factors such as extreme weather and the pandemic. This study provides insights into the price patterns of milkfish and the factors influencing price fluctuations, which can serve as a basis for formulating more effective policies to stabilize the milkfish market in South Sulawesi.
