Abstract

This study investigates the transformative effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on conventional accounting practices, focusing on its influence in reshaping financial reporting, auditing, and decision-making frameworks. Positioned within the context of rapid technological progression, the research traces the shift from traditional, manual accounting processes to advanced AI-enabled systems. The objective is to critically evaluate how AI adoption is redefining the accounting profession, identifying both the opportunities it offers and the challenges it poses. A systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis were conducted, drawing from peer-reviewed journals, case studies, and industry publications from the past ten years. This comprehensive methodology facilitates a deep understanding of AI’s role in accounting, particularly in enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and strategic capabilities within the field. Results indicate that AI significantly boosts the precision and speed of financial operations by automating repetitive tasks and providing predictive insights for more informed decision-making. Nonetheless, the implementation of AI faces several obstacles, including the demand for technically skilled professionals, concerns surrounding data security, high implementation costs, and organizational resistance to change. The study concludes by advocating for a measured and strategic approach to AI integration. Emphasis is placed on continuous professional development, ethical considerations, and adherence to regulatory standards. While the transition presents challenges, the potential of AI to transform accounting practices and drive innovation in the digital age is substantial.

Abstract

Previous research has often suggested that various accounting functions could be replaced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technologies. However, more recent studies increasingly recognize AI's potential to enhance value within accounting practices and organizations. Scholars and experts have called for more extensive research into the relationship between accounting and AI, emphasizing the importance of adopting a multidisciplinary approach in this field. This paper employs topic modeling, specifically Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), to systematically analyze the existing literature on AI and associated technologies within accounting. By applying LDA to the abstracts of 930 peer-reviewed articles from diverse academic fields published between 1990 and 2023, the study identifies key themes and trends in the discourse around accounting and AI. The results indicate that previous literature reviews using conventional methods may have overlooked important aspects of this rapidly evolving area. The analysis reveals eleven distinct topic clusters that together form a detailed map of the current research landscape. These findings not only broaden understanding of accounting and AI scholarship but also offer a structured framework for guiding future investigations. Additionally, this research represents one of the pioneering uses of probabilistic topic modeling techniques within the accounting literature.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the contribution of halal certification policy in strengthening the legal status of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in the culinary sector in Indonesia. Since the enactment of Law No. 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Assurance, halal certification has not only become a legal obligation but also serves as a strategic instrument to support the formalization of MSMEs. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review by analyzing various secondary sources such as academic journals, government regulations, and documents related to halal certification and MSME legality. The findings indicate that halal certification policy acts as a key driver in the legalization process of culinary MSMEs, whereby business actors are encouraged to complete other legal documents such as the Business Identification Number (NIB), Home Industry Food Permit (PIRT), and product distribution permits when applying for halal certification. Halal certification provides positive impacts including enhanced product reputation, improved market access, and increased opportunities to obtain formal financing. The Free Halal Certification Program (SEHATI) has proven effective in reducing bureaucratic and financial barriers faced by MSMEs. In conclusion, halal certification has transformed into a strategic asset that not only ensures product compliance with halal standards but also reinforces legal legitimacy and enhances the competitiveness of MSMEs at both national and international levels.

Abstract

West Africa faces escalating climate challenges that threaten socio-economic stability and ecological balance. Traditional mitigation strategies have largely excluded the youth, despite their increasing engagement and innovative capacities. This study explores the potential of youth-led climate initiatives in Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Nigeria, emphasizing the role of scientific collaboration in enhancing their impact. Using a qualitative approach with secondary data from 2020–2024, the research applies thematic analysis framed by the Innovation Ecosystem Model and the co-creation concept within the SDG framework (SDG 13 and SDG 17). Findings show that youth innovations—such as renewable energy projects, climate-smart agriculture, and digital tools—gain greater legitimacy, scale, and policy relevance when connected with academic and institutional partners. However, barriers persist, including limited funding, weak infrastructure, and marginalization in formal governance. The study recommends institutionalizing youth-science partnerships, establishing climate innovation grants, integrating youth in national adaptation plans, enhancing digital infrastructure, and supporting gender-responsive innovation. Strengthening these frameworks is vital to harnessing West Africa’s demographic potential and ensuring sustainable, climate-resilient development.

Abstract

This article examines the application of the Cultural Approach to Organizations in addressing stunting cases in Indonesia, focusing on five regions with high prevalence: East Nusa Tenggara, West Sulawesi, Papua, West Papua, and Central Kalimantan. Using a qualitative method that integrates literature review, field observations, and interviews reported in prior studies, the research identifies how local cultural beliefs, traditional rituals, and social norms significantly shape child nutrition and health practices. The findings reveal that early introduction of solid foods, gender-based decision-making, and symbolic food rituals often conflict with recommended health guidelines, contributing to persistent stunting. The study highlights the need for culturally grounded interventions, recommending strategies such as community-based education, involvement of religious and community leaders, culturally adapted nutrition programs, improved healthcare logistics, and multisectoral collaboration. By aligning health initiatives with local cultural systems—including shared meanings, symbols, stories, and rituals—interventions are more likely to be accepted and sustained by local communities. This article contributes both theoretically to the development of the Cultural Approach in public health contexts and practically to policy design for culturally appropriate stunting prevention programs. The study recommends a strategic, inclusive framework to reduce stunting rates by integrating cultural understanding into public health communication and implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the immunosuppressant drug methylprednisolone at Gembleb Farma Pharmacy in Trenggalek, East Java, Indonesia. The research was conducted on May 30, 2025, using a descriptive quantitative approach supported by interviews with the responsible pharmacist. Data collection involved daily sales records of methylprednisolone and clinical response outcomes among patients. Each patient typically received five tablets per treatment, and the pharmacy recorded an average daily sale of 250 tablets. Therefore, it was estimated that approximately 50 patients were served per day. From those, 45 patients—equivalent to 90%—experienced favorable clinical responses to methylprednisolone therapy. The cost per tablet was IDR 500, resulting in a total daily cost of IDR 125,000. The calculated Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (CER) per day was IDR 2,777.78 per effectively treated patient. This value remained consistent when scaled to monthly (IDR 3,750,000 for 1,350 effective patients) and annual estimates (IDR 45,625,000 for 16,425 effective patients), yielding the same CER value of IDR 2,777.78. The findings indicate that methylprednisolone provides a stable and predictable cost-effectiveness profile in outpatient pharmacy settings. These results may support decision-making in therapeutic planning, particularly in community pharmacies that aim to deliver effective yet affordable immunosuppressive therapies. Additionally, this cost-efficiency aligns with the goals of rational drug use and sustainable pharmaceutical services at the primary healthcare level.
