Inventory is a crucial asset for businesses, directly affecting their financial performance. However, despite its significance, many businesses struggle to implement inventory accounting practices in line with established standards. This study addresses the knowledge gap concerning the application of inventory accounting according to PSAK 14, focusing on Central Development Stores. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, gathering both primary and secondary data through interviews, documentation, and literature study. The findings reveal that the store employs a periodic physical inventory system and utilizes the FIFO (First In First Out) method for inventory valuation. The analysis indicates a partial compliance with PSAK 14, with a checklist percentage of 60%, highlighting areas for improvement. A notable discovery is that the store has not yet prepared financial statements, which could significantly impact its financial management practices. The novelty of this research lies in its practical evaluation of the implementation of PSAK 14 within a real business context, offering insights into common challenges. Implications suggest the necessity for the store to enhance its accounting practices to fully comply with PSAK 14, thus improving financial transparency and performance evaluation.

Highlights:

Partial Compliance: The store's accounting meets 60% of PSAK 14 requirements.
Inventory Method: Uses Periodic system and FIFO for inventory valuation.

Priyanka Anisa Hanis, Hadiah Fitriyah — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Background: Financial performance is vital for assessing a company's sustainability, influenced by various internal factors. Specific Background: Although Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is recognized as significant, its mediating role between company characteristics and profitability on financial performance remains underexplored. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies inadequately address CSR's interaction with these variables in manufacturing contexts. Aims: This research investigates CSR's mediating capacity in the relationship between company characteristics (size, leverage, board composition) and profitability on financial performance. Results: Employing quantitative methods and purposive sampling, findings show that company size, board of commissioners, and profitability do not significantly affect financial performance, while leverage and CSR do. Additionally, profitability positively influences CSR, but other characteristics do not. CSR mediates the relationship between profitability and financial performance but not the others. Novelty: This study enhances understanding of CSR's mediating role, focusing on specific company characteristics and profitability. Implications: The results highlight the importance of CSR initiatives for improving financial performance, offering valuable insights for corporate managers and policymakers.

Highlights :

CSR mediates profitability's relationship with financial performance.
Company size and board composition do not impact financial performance.
Leverage significantly affects financial performance and CSR.

Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibility, Financial Performance, Profitability, Company Characteristics, Leverage

Waste management has become a critical issue in urban communities, necessitating innovative approaches for effective implementation. In Citra Sentosa Mandiri Housing, a waste bank initiative led by community leaders Mr. Agus Irwanto and Mr. Yanto exemplifies a successful model for fostering community engagement in waste management. Despite the growing interest in community-based waste management, there is limited understanding of the role of group communication in facilitating the diffusion of innovation within such contexts. This study aims to analyze communication strategies employed by waste bank activists to disseminate information and assess community adoption and participation in the waste bank program. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative research method and Miles and Huberman's interactive model for data analysis, findings reveal that effective group communication significantly enhances community participation and supports the adoption of waste management innovations. This research contributes to the literature by highlighting the crucial role of communication in transforming community perceptions of waste. The study underscores the importance of structured communication strategies in promoting sustainable waste management practices, providing insights for policymakers and community leaders seeking to implement similar initiatives in other urban settings.

Highlights:

Effective communication strategies enhance community engagement in waste management.
Community leaders play a crucial role in driving waste bank initiatives.
Structured communication transforms perceptions of waste within the community.

Optimizing Science Laboratory Management for Enhanced Student Learning Outcomes

Nur Efendi, Afifa Sofi Laras Jayanti — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Background: Laboratory management is vital for improving science education, yet many institutions struggle to optimize these resources. Specific Background: Effective management enhances student interest and practical skills in natural sciences, but inadequate management leads to underutilization of laboratory facilities, negatively impacting learning experiences. Knowledge Gap: While the importance of laboratory management is acknowledged, studies on specific practices and their effects on student engagement in natural science remain limited. Aims: This study explores management practices in a natural science laboratory and their implications for educational outcomes. Results: Findings reveal that planning, organization, implementation, supervision, and evaluation are poorly executed, resulting in incomplete documentation and minimal follow-up. Although practical activities spark student interest, systemic issues hinder their effectiveness. Novelty: The research provides new insights into the operational challenges of laboratory management in a specific educational context. Implications: Enhanced management strategies are necessary to improve resource allocation and laboratory utilization, fostering student engagement and skill development in natural sciences.

Highlights :

Critical Role: Effective laboratory management enhances student interest and practical skills in science education.
Systemic Issues: Inadequate management practices lead to underutilization of laboratory resources, negatively impacting learning experiences.
Need for Improvement: Enhanced strategies are essential for optimizing resource allocation and fostering student engagement in natural sciences.
