Analisis Kontribusi dan Laju Pertumbuhan Pajak Restoran terhadap pendapatan asli daerah kota Ambon

Angel Merlyn Pattimahu — 2025-06-01

In Law Number 28 of 2009 on Regional Taxes and Levies, local governments are granted the authority to explore financial resource potentials by establishing new types of taxes and levies not previously regulated, provided they meet the established criteria and reflect the aspirations of the community. Regional taxes, as one of the components of Local Revenue (PAD), are used to finance various regional expenditures, both routine and for development purposes. Regional taxes are expected to be a vital source of financing for government administration and regional development, as well as contribute to the improvement and equitable distribution of community welfare. Regional taxes are divided into two main categories: provincial regional taxes and regency/city regional taxes. This study aims to determine the contribution and growth rate of restaurant taxes in Ambon City. The research method used is descriptive quantitative analysis, particularly in describing the results of calculations of the contribution and growth rate of restaurant taxes in the local revenue of Ambon City. The research object is the Ambon City Regional Revenue Office. This study shows that the contribution of restaurant taxes over the last five years (2020-2024) has fluctuated, with a significant increase in the growth rate in 2022, but a sharp decline in the following year. The study indicates that the Ambon City government has not been able to maintain and increase the contribution of restaurant taxes in the last five years. This is due to the lack of active involvement from officers in collecting taxes and in socializing the sanctions and payment procedures to the community, particularly to restaurant entrepreneurs.

This study aims to analyze the representation of auditor professional ethics in the South Korean drama “The Auditors”, and to compare it with the reality of the auditing profession in Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach with content analysis on the drama’s visual narrative. The results show that ethical principles such as integrity, objectivity, professional competence, confidentiality, and professional behavior are accurately represented in the drama. However, ethical violations are still common in Indonesian practice due to organizational pressure and weak oversight. This drama also highlights the potential of popular media as an educational tool that shapes a positive perception of the auditing profession.

Safiatul Ulla — 2025-06-08

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of managing the human resources (HR) function in the finance department of Anuntaloko Parigi Hospital through a management audit approach. Management audit is used as an evaluation tool to measure the extent to which the HR function is carried out effectively in accordance with applicable standards.

The audit results show that most HR functions have run effectively and in accordance with applicable standards. However, weaknesses were found in the aspects of long-term HR planning and recruitment processes that were not fully transparent. This study recommends the need for improvements in job and workload analysis on a regular basis and strengthening the competency-based recruitment system. Management audit is proven to be a strategic tool in identifying weaknesses and encouraging improved HR performance in the hospital environment.

Si Putu Kezya Carolina — 2025-06-08

This study aims to explore the application of accounting information systems in the management of medicine inventory at Anuntaloko Parigi Hospital. The transformation from a manual Excel-based system to an integrated system using the Mirsa application is an important point in an effort to improve the efficiency and accuracy of recording and reporting. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to explore the direct experiences of hospital employees, such as the pharmacy and finance departments. The results showed that the implementation of the accounting information system has improved recording efficiency, structured the procurement process, and provided a correction mechanism for recording errors. Technical constraints such as network disruptions and initial adaptation processes were overcome through training and infrastructure improvements. In addition, internal and external audits have strengthened accountability and system sustainability. This study confirms that the successful implementation of accounting information systems is not only determined by technology, but also by the readiness of human resources and coordination between work units in the hospital.

EVALUATION OF REGIONAL REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE BUDGETS IN THE PALU CITY GOVERNMENT

Shery Natalia Gollah — 2025-06-15

Post-calamity 2018 and the COVID-19 pandemic caused the fiscal performance of Palu City Government to change significantly. For this study, the dynamics of the 2019-2023 Palu City APBD are to be evaluated through growth and variance analysis in an attempt to provide responsive fiscal policy recommendations. Quantitative methods apply by processing the secondary data with APBD reports. Results showed an "explosion-consolidation" trend of spending and revenue variance > 100% in 2019-2022 (conservative) that declined to 96.08% in 2023, indicating the necessity to re-adjust PAD projection assumptions; spending variance increased from 57.05% to 95.26%, reflecting an increase in absorption capacity but not yet quantifiable outcome effectiveness. The trend of revenue-expenditure growth reflects an expansionary response in the crisis phase and consolidation in the recovery phase. These findings underscore the necessity to diversify PAD sources, enhance budget projection models with macro-economic drivers and contingency projections, and strengthen the absorption capacity of spending with e-budgeting and real-time monitoring as the basis for adaptive fiscal policies to improve the resilience and accountability of APBD in disaster-prone areas.
