Analysis of The Role of Internal Audit in The Implementation of Corporate Governance at Pt Bank Mandiri

Dony Abdul Chalid, Achmad Rifqi — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The need for complex control systems is increasing due to the complexity, size, and operations of companies. To support economic recovery and stable growth in the future, corporate leadership issues have become one of the most important topics of discussion in Indonesia. It is hoped that the principles of corporate governance can improve the quality of financial statements, which will ultimately foster the trust of financial statement users, including investors. With this development of corporate governance, the Board of Directors is forced to improve corporate governance in its own company. As a result, the Council needs help to fulfill its duties. Internal audit is one of the tools that supports this, and its function evolves according to the needs of the company's stakeholders. Business developments result in increased risk, which causes the need to increase. This research will measure the effectiveness of internal audit on corporate governance, and identify the roadmap and Internal Audit Strategic Plan in the form of suggestions and recommendations to improve corporate governance. Data and information collection was obtained through questionnaires, as well as conducting direct interviews with the internal audit department and validating related documents.

Siti Zahra Junaedi, Sulhendri — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the influence of auditor independence and task complexity on auditor performance, with job satisfaction acting as a mediating variable. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from auditors working in public accounting firms (KAP) in DKI Jakarta through surveys. The research findings indicate that while task complexity has a significant effect on auditor performance, independence does not significantly influence performance either directly or through job satisfaction. Job satisfaction was found to mediate the relationship between task complexity and auditor performance. These results suggest that managing task complexity and enhancing job satisfaction are essential to improving auditor performance. The study emphasizes the importance of creating a work environment that reduces the negative effects of task complexity while fostering job satisfaction to improve audit outcomes. This research contributes to the understanding of factors influencing auditor performance and provides practical recommendations for improving auditing practices within firms.

Albert Christoper,  Ovalia Rukmana — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The digital transformation era has revolutionized how public institutions, including the police, interact with society. Amid rising demands for transparency and two-way communication, social media platforms like Instagram have become strategic channels for delivering educational messages and reinforcing institutional legitimacy. However, systematic studies on how police narratives are constructed and disseminated in digital spaces remain limited. This research aims to analyze the digital communication strategies of the police on Instagram, identify dominant keywords, and map thematic clusters using a netnographic approach supported by NVivo 15 software. Primary data included Instagram Ads content, captions, and reels from official police accounts, while secondary data comprised academic literature and institutional reports. Methods involved digital documentation, word frequency analysis, and cluster visualization. Findings revealed that police narratives emphasize operational duties (e.g., patrol, coordination), public service, and professional image-building, with keywords like protection and violation appearing frequently. Cluster analysis highlighted the alignment between institutional functions and communication strategies. The study concludes that NVivo enhances the validity of netnographic research, offering insights into the dynamics of institutional digital communication. Practical implications include recommendations for data-driven communication strategies for public institutions, while theoretical contributions expand the literature on digital netnography and police-public engagement.

Puji Astuti Indraningsih — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research aims to describe and reflect on the experience of self-healing through the practice of walking therapy based on Asmaul Husna. Using an autoethnographic approach, the author narrates the inner journey of being a single mother and epilepsy survivor in the face of chronic life stress. The results of the study show that the practice of walking while reciting Asmaul Husna not only has a positive impact physically, but also opens up the space of spiritual awareness, strengthens psychological resilience, and builds a transcendental connection with God. Asmaul Husna's dhikr becomes an inner anchor that helps to unravel stress and strengthen the meaning of life. This study recommends the integration of spiritual-local approaches in contemporary psychological interventions, particularly those related to stress recovery and inner well-being.

Challenges in the Implementation of Free Prior and Informed Consent for Indigenous Peoples in Indonesia's National Legal Regulation

Rahmi Jasim, Saldi Isra, Kurnia Warman, Hengki Andora — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research discusses the challenges of implementing Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) for indigenous peoples in national legal arrangements in Indonesia. FPIC is a principle that gives indigenous peoples the right to give consent to policies that affect their territories and resources freely, prior to full information, and without pressure. Although the FPIC rights of indigenous peoples are implicitly described and regulated in various national regulations, such as the 1945 Constitution, Forestry Law, Village Law, and environmental regulations, these arrangements do not necessarily guarantee the protection of indigenous peoples' rights over their customary territories. Explicit legal arrangements are needed to guarantee indigenous peoples' FPIC rights over their customary territories. This is because in its implementation, the application of FPIC rights still faces various challenges such as conflicts of interest with the State's Right to Control (HMN), low understanding in the field, and gender injustice being the main obstacles. This study uses a normative juridical approach to identify differences between international and national legal arrangements, and offers recommendations to improve the protection and implementation of FPIC in Indonesia. The research emphasizes the importance of explicit legal arrangements to achieve justice, prosperity and harmony between indigenous peoples and the government.

Yoland Apresia Brillian, Miftahul Rozaq — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Information about skincare on the beauty base account on Twitter is not necessarily accurate, there are many promotional elements carried out by buzzers and also affiliates. In accessing information about skincare, of course, it is necessary to be careful so that the chosen skincare product can work effectively and so as not to be negatively affected. So how is the information processing on beauty base users on Twitter who have experienced mistakes in purchasing skincare products due to a lack of digital literacy? This study aims to examine how to process skincare information on the Twitter beauty base on users who have experienced mistakes in purchasing skincare products. The method used is a qualitative method and the data is processed using Nvivo 12 software. The results of the study show that users are aware of promotions on beauty base accounts on Twitter, but the user's memory is limited, so users need external help to remember information about skincare that has been accessed through the beauty base on Twitter.

The Effect of Oral Chitosan Supplementation on Leptin Levels and HOMA-IR in Male Wistar Rats (Rattus norvegicus) with an Obesity Model

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates the role of chitosan in modulating leptin and insulin levels, key hormones involved in metabolic disorders, and compares its effectiveness with orlistat, a commonly used anti-obesity drug. An experimental post-test only group design was used involving 20 healthy male Wistar rats aged 3–4 months. After a seven-day acclimation, obesity was induced through a high-fat, high-glucose diet. The rats were then divided into five groups: a positive control group (K+) receiving orlistat, a negative control (K−) receiving a standard diet, and three treatment groups receiving chitosan at 2.5% (P1), 5% (P2), and 7.5% (P3) concentrations, respectively, for 14 days. Leptin and HOMA-IR levels were measured via blood samples collected from the retro-orbital sinus. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed significant differences among groups (p<0.05). Mean leptin levels were highest in K− (5.10±0.35 ng/dL) and lowest in K+ (3.03±0.71 ng/dL), while P2 showed a notable reduction (3.71±0.32 ng/dL). HOMA-IR levels followed a similar trend, with the lowest in K+ (1.00±0.08) and significantly reduced in P2 (1.34±0.11) compared to K− (2.29±0.25). Post Hoc analysis confirmed that P2 had significantly better outcomes than K−, though not as effective as orlistat. In conclusion, chitosan—particularly at 5% concentration—can reduce leptin and HOMA-IR levels, improving insulin resistance in obesity, though orlistat remains more effective.

The Islamic World in The Vortex of The Contemporary Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (2023-2024)

Wella Sherlita — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out in 1948, countless efforts at track one diplomacy have been intensively carried out by the leaders of Islamic countries, both in the UN General Assembly and the OIC forum, including by the Indonesian government. Islamic leaders have chosen to prioritize the principles of human intervention and dialogue in helping to resolve conflicts over the past 15 months. On the other hand, the awakening of civil society solidarity or public consciousness in various countries has emerged unexpectedly. Thousands of people took to the streets to hold peaceful demonstrations demanding a ceasefire, and recognition of Palestinian independence. The absence of coalition forces to counteract the brutal Israeli military offensive was replaced by negotiations that led to a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas on January 15, 2025 in Doha, Qatar. With a liberal approach, this article tries to outline the contribution of the Islamic world as well as the dilemmas faced when pioneering Hamas-Israel peace, using a qualitative descriptive method. The data were obtained from a combination of literature studies and interviews with a number of stakeholders.

Pile Analysis With Dynamic and Static Tests of Manufacturing Permit Capacity

Dian Kurniawan Tanjung — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This article discusses the analysis of pile bearing capacity using dynamic and static tests to evaluate the capacity of manufacturing permits in the construction project of the X Shoe Factory in Pekalongan, Central Java. The study aims to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of piles by applying various formulas, such as Meyerhoff, Poulos & Davis, Schmertmann, Coyle & Castillo, and the Alpha & Lambda Method, which take into account corrected NSPT values and CPT data. Additionally, the study validates the calculation results through static and dynamic testing, and compares these results with the allowable loads specified in the design and manufacturing management standards. The analysis revealed that the 1956 Meyerhoff method, when combined with the Terzaghi correction for NSPT data, produced results closest to the empirical test values, while the modified ENR formula yielded reliable outcomes for dynamic analysis. This research is expected to enhance efficiency in the selection of appropriate pile foundation systems for future manufacturing facility construction projects.
