Abstract

This study examines the impact of brand image and brand trust on students' selection of Politeknik Unggul LP3M as their higher education institution. In the intensifying rivalry within the education sector, comprehending the determinants that affect prospective students' decisions is crucial. Brand image reflects public opinion of an institution, whereas brand trust signifies confidence in the institution's quality and dedication. This research utilized a quantitative methodology, gathering data using a questionnaire survey. The study's population consisted of all new students at Politeknik Unggul LP3M, from which a purposive sampling method was employed to pick a sample of 150 respondents. We employed regression analysis to assess the influence of independent variables on the decision-making process. The findings indicated that brand image and brand trust substantially affected students' choices. The managerial implications of these findings indicate that the administration of Politeknik Unggul LP3M must enhance its brand image by advocating for academic excellence, contemporary facilities, and community engagement. Moreover, maintaining uniformity in service and clarity in information helps enhance brand trust. We anticipate that this strategy will enhance the institution's competitiveness and attract additional students. The study's shortcomings encompass restricting the sample to new Politeknik Unggul LP3M students, potentially failing to fully represent the broader population of prospective students. We recommend broadening the sample size and incorporating more pertinent variables in subsequent study

Abstract

This study examines the impact of accounting knowledge and taxpayer attitudes on tax compliance among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in North Medan. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through surveys distributed to SME owners and managers who are directly involved in financial decision-making. The study found that both accounting knowledge and positive taxpayer attitudes significantly influence tax compliance.

Meanwhile, taxpayer attitudes, such as the perception of fairness and trust in the tax system, also play a crucial role in determining the level of compliance. The results suggest that enhancing accounting education and fostering positive attitudes toward taxation could improve tax compliance in the SME sector. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers and tax authorities aiming to promote compliance through targeted educational programs and awareness campaigns.

Abstract

This research seeks to examine the impact of EFSE on financial behavior (FB) using DFI within Generation Z in Medan City. A quantitative methodology was employed to gather data via an online survey of 147 Generation Z respondents who regularly utilize digital financial platforms, including digital wallets, mobile banking, and fintech loans. The Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method was used to examine the relationship between the proposed variables and analyze the data. The findings indicate that EFSE exerts a positive and significant impact on FB, with DFI serving as a mediator that enhances the influence of EFSE on financial behavior. These results indicate that Generation Z individuals with elevated financial self-efficacy are more judicious in their financial decision-making, particularly when facilitated by access to digital financial services. This study enhances the behavioral finance literature by emphasizing the essential roles of EFSE and DFI in cultivating sound financial practices among youth in the digital era. The findings indicate the necessity to create extensive digital and financial literacy initiatives to enhance self-efficacy and the use of digital financial services within Generation Z

Abstract

This research arises from the growing need for a fast, accurate, and adaptive financial reporting system in line with the rapid digital transformation occurring in the expedition service industry. As a logistics provider, Shopee Express requires an information system capable of enhancing operational efficiency and strengthening accountability. This study focuses on evaluating the implementation of a daily e-financial reporting system at the Shopee Express operational unit in Bandar Perdagangan to determine its effectiveness and the challenges faced during its adoption. A qualitative-descriptive case study method was used, with data collected through triangulation, including user interviews, direct observation of reporting procedures, and documentation review. Analysis employed the PIECES framework (Performance, Information, Economy, Control, Efficiency, Service) to identify both strengths and system limitations. Findings show that the daily e-financial reporting system has significantly improved reporting speed, data accuracy, and internal control mechanisms. However, some issues remain, such as inadequate user training and limited system integration, which may hinder further optimization. Overall, users expressed positive acceptance due to the system’s ease of use, intuitive interface, and reliable information output. This study concludes that the daily e-financial reporting system is an essential asset that supports Shopee Express’s operational performance. Recommendations include enhancing training programs and adopting scalable cloud-based technologies

Abstract

This study investigates the efficiency of Village Fund expenditures in infrastructure projects within Kutambaru Subdistrict, Langkat Regency, and identifies which villages demonstrate efficient or inefficient budget utilization. The analysis is based on secondary data, including Village Budget (APBDes), Budget Plans (RAB), budget realization reports, and accountability reports from eight villages. Efficiency is measured using four public sector accounting indicators: budget-realization ratio, cost-to-physical-output ratio, cost variance (CV), and value for money (VfM). Findings reveal varying levels of efficiency across villages. Kaperas, Namotogan, and Rampal are categorized as the most efficient, characterized by low cost per meter, positive cost variance, and high VfM scores. In contrast, Kuta Gajah and Sulkam are deemed inefficient due to cost overruns (negative CV), high cost per meter, and low infrastructure utility. These inefficiencies are primarily attributed to weaknesses in budget planning (RAB), inaccurate volume estimations, uneconomical material procurement, and suboptimal technical supervision. The study highlights the importance of comprehensive financial performance evaluation at the village level using a value for money approach to ensure that Village Funds yield economic, efficient, and effective development outcomes. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for village and regional governments in improving infrastructure budget governance.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine the impact of bank liquidity on bank efficiency, utilizing risk management quality as a mediating variable at Bank Rakyat Indonesia in 2024. The study challenge arises from the significance of liquidity stability and efficient risk management in enhancing banking operating efficiency, particularly at BRI, which operates on a CASA-based funding model and possesses the largest credit portfolio in Indonesia. This research employs a quantitative methodology with an explanatory framework, utilizing secondary data derived from BRI's 2024 financial statements and evaluated through Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings indicate that bank liquidity exerts a positive and significant influence on both risk management quality and bank efficiency, whereas risk management quality positively and significantly impacts efficiency. Also, RMQ has been shown to partially mediate the influence of liquidity on efficiency. These results show that good risk management and high liquidity are two important things that can help BRI's operations run more smoothly and make more money. This study suggests that integrated liquidity enhancement and risk management methods must be perpetually fortified to sustain bank performance and competitiveness in the evolving financial sector
