Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Government Internal Control System (Sistem Pengendalian Intern Pemerintah/SPIP) in the Tebing Tinggi City Government and to assess the alignment between normative regulations and practical implementation in local government administration. This study employs a qualitative research design with a case study approach. Data were collected through document analysis of laws and regulations, SPIP evaluation reports, audit reports, performance reports, and other relevant supporting documents. Data analysis was conducted by comparing SPIP implementation standards as stipulated in Government Regulation Number 60 of 2008 with the actual conditions of implementation in the Tebing Tinggi City Government, based on the five elements of SPIP: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. The findings are expected to provide empirical evidence on the level of SPIP implementation and identify key challenges in its application, serving as a basis for formulating strategic recommendations to strengthen internal control systems in order to enhance accountability and improve the quality of local government governance.

Abstract

Proper pricing is one of the key factors in achieving success in the retail industry. In this context, microeconomic analysis plays an important role in aiding efficient and profitable pricing decision-making. This study aims to analyze how microeconomic concepts, such as price elasticity, cost theory, and market structure, affect the pricing decisions made by retail companies. Using a qualitative approach and case studies on some of the leading retail companies, the study identified a variety of factors considered in pricing, including changes in demand, production costs, as well as the characteristics of the markets in which the company operates. The results show that retail companies that apply the principle of price elasticity tend to be able to adjust prices better according to consumer demand, while companies operating in oligopoly markets are often more cautious in setting prices to maintain competitiveness. In addition, production costs and fixed costs also influence pricing decisions, with companies tending to raise prices when operating costs increase. The study concludes that a deep understanding of microeconomic analysis can improve the effectiveness of pricing decision-making, which in turn will improve the competitiveness and profitability of retail companies.

Abstract

Audit quality plays a vital role in strengthening accountability and improving financial governance in the public sector. High-quality audits are essential to ensure transparency, reliability of financial information, and public trust in government institutions. However, studies examining audit quality in the public sector, particularly in Indonesia, remain relatively limited compared to the extensive body of research focusing on the private sector. This study aims to systematically review and synthesize the existing literature related to the determinants of audit quality in the public sector. The research method employed is a literature review of national and international scholarly articles published between 2017 and 2021. The review results indicate that public sector audit quality is influenced by several key factors, including auditor competence and independence, professional skepticism, compliance with auditing standards and professional ethics, auditor motivation, and time budget pressure. In addition, the work environment and limitations in resources, which are commonly encountered in public sector institutions, also significantly affect audit quality. Furthermore, the unique characteristics of the public sector, such as regulatory complexity and public accountability demands, influence both the conceptualization and measurement of audit quality. This study is expected to provide a theoretical foundation for the development of a conceptual framework for public sector audit quality and to contribute to improving audit practices, governance, and accountability in public financial management.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the slowdown in money supply growth (M2) raises concerns about the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission to the real sector. This study aims to analyze the adaptation of key macroeconomic variables, including policy interest rates, credit growth, economic activity, and exchange rates to the slowdown in money supply growth. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature studies by utilizing secondary data from official publications of Bank Indonesia, the Central Statistics Agency, and related scientific literature. The results show that interest rates respond most quickly as an initial adjustment mechanism, while credit growth and real economic activity adapt gradually. Household consumption plays a role as a support for growth in the short term, while investment is more sensitive to tightening liquidity. Exchange rates adapt through financial market mechanisms and the expectations of economic actors. This study concludes that the slowdown in the money supply does not always have a negative impact on economic stability when balanced with measured and consistent monetary policy.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the motivations of War Thunder players to engage in microtransactions in the game. Game progress can be achieved without any microtransactions, but they are time-consuming. This study aims to determine the factors that motivate players to engage in microtransactions in War Thunder. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative case study approach, while the sampling technique was purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews with War Thunder players who are members of the Discord community. We selected ten individuals to conduct interviews, and they engaged in microtransactions to accelerate their game progress. The results showed that the primary motivations for players to engage in microtransactions were to accelerate game progress (grinding) and gain a comfortable playing experience, particularly through the Premium Account and Premium Vehicle features. Discounts, particularly substantial discounts on premium vehicle packages, were the dominant drivers in purchasing decisions. This study also found that microtransactions were not undertaken to gain social status or dominance over time, but rather driven by personal needs and time efficiency. From a motivational theory perspective, this behavior aligns with McClelland's Theory of Needs, particularly the need for achievement and self-satisfaction. Thus, microtransactions in War Thunder are understood as a means of supporting the gaming experience, not as a tool for social competition.

The data are then analyzed using descriptive analysis through financial ratio calculations. The results indicate that, in general, the financial performance of PT Pegadaian (Persero) experienced fairly positive development during the study period. Profitability ratios, particularly Return on Assets (ROA), show an increasing trend, indicating that the company’s ability to manage assets to generate profits has become more effective.

Abstract

Local taxpayer compliance is one of the key factors in achieving sustainable growth in regional tax revenues. However, the level of taxpayer compliance continues to face various challenges, including low tax awareness, limited supervision, and weak enforcement of local tax regulations. Tax audits function as a supervisory instrument aimed at ensuring that taxpayers comply with the prevailing regional tax laws and regulations. This study aims to analyze the role of tax audits in enhancing local taxpayer compliance and to identify factors that influence the effectiveness of tax audit implementation. The research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method, in which data are collected through questionnaires distributed to local taxpayers and regional tax administration officials. The collected data are analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to examine the relationship between tax audit implementation and the level of taxpayer compliance. The expected findings indicate that tax audits play a positive and significant role in improving local taxpayer compliance, both in terms of formal and material compliance. Furthermore, this study is expected to provide recommendations for local governments to improve the quality of tax audit implementation as an effort to optimize regional tax revenues and strengthen transparent and accountable local tax governance.
