Purpose: This paper aims to assess accounting application in church financial reporting. Methodology: There were two main stages of this research methodology. Firstly, an extensive literature study was to develop the framework of the relationship between religion and accounting and to find the research gap to be fulfilled in theoretical based. Secondly, the technical research method included a case study approach to examine the current application of the church financial report and the PSAK 45 accounting application. Results: There are significant discrepancies between the Treasury Report made by the church and the financial statements made under PSAK 45. The information under PSAK 45 provides more relevant information to the stakeholders to assess how the church actualizes the theology values into its activities. Firstly, the PSAK 45 Activity Report reveals the information for the stakeholders, particularly the management, to evaluate the effect of money proportioned into church activity. Secondly, the reports show how the direct and indirect costs are allocated into services activities to assess, how much direct cost has been allocated to successfully implement the mission through the roles. Thirdly, the reports tell stakeholders how the church manages its activities effectively to serve not only the congregations but also the wider society in order to attain its vision. Finally, the balance sheet reveals the increasing or decreasing value of net assets and how the assets are effectively used – or not. Implications: The benefits of the implementation of the accounting standard to help the church to implement their sacred mission and criticizes the opponent's views that perceive accounting as profane, and irrelevant as well as irreverent. It provides significance that accounting standards should be mandatory in Indonesia for all non-profit groups.

AbstractThis paper focuses on the interplay between accounting standards and tax laws in the context of regulatory arbitrage by examining the development of synthetic leases especially in the USA. In a synthetic lease, the lease remains off balance sheet for financial reporting by the lessee, while depreciations and interest expenses can be deducted for tax purposes. Exploring the evolving structures of synthetic leases over the last 30 years, the paper demonstrates how financial engineers have been able to perpetually re-structure this sophisticated instrument to keep it off-balance sheet instrument notwithstanding regulatory changes. Specifically, it shows that the most recent revision of lease accounting standards in 2016 – that intended to mark the end of off-balance sheet leases under IFRS and US-GAAP – resulted in reviving the demand for synthetic leases as the tax benefits outweigh the structuring costs. Contributing to the debate on the shift towards international accounting convergence (including US-GAAP and IFRS), the paper argues that attempts to limit regulatory arbitrage may also consider the reciprocal linkages between accounting standards and tax laws. For instance, tax laws should be considered as a means to limit regulatory arbitrage in financial reporting.

The international harmonization of financial reporting standards in the public sector is one of the significant public sector accounting reforms which have gained prominence in the recent past under the New Public Financial Management order. However, previous empirical evidence provided mixed results on the extent of African countries’ decision on the adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards and its relationship with institutional isomorphism factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of institutional isomorphism (normative, mimetic and coercive) on the adoption International Public Sector Accounting Standards by African countries. The target population was 54 countries; however the final sample was 29 countries which comprised the dataset. A logistic regression analysis was thereafter conducted. Based on the Institutional Theory, the study revealed external public funding (coercive isomorphic pressure), the countries’ global competitiveness (mimetic isomorphic pressure), and human capital (normative isomorphic pressure) were non significant factors in a countries decision to adopt IPSAS. This study contributes to the literature on the international accounting in the public sector. The results of the study have significant managerial and theoretical implications for accounting standards regulators, researchers, and multilateral organizations.

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), have been adopted by a large number of countries, since they are considered an international benchmark for obtaining comparable quality financial information. The adoption by Ecuador and Colombia of IFRS as a transition from their previous local regulations based on provisions and decrees, justifies the present research work to provide knowledge of the regulatory reality of both countries. Behind this ambitious adoption of accounting standards, since they are costly processes both financially and in terms of training, there is a need to obtain consistent financial information that should attract investments and facilitate access to other less harmful financial markets. The purpose of this research is to perform an analysis of the effect on the accounting variables of the balance sheet and financial ratios, before and after the application of IFRS on large Ecuadorian and Colombian companies. To do this, Wilcoxon’s nonparametric test of related samples is used, on a total of 204 Ecuadorian companies and 60 Colombian companies. To compare the results of both countries, a non-parametric U Mann-Whitney test is carried out. The results show an impact in both countries on the variables studied after the mandatory adoption of IFRS, although the relative impact is greater in the Colombian case.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study to determine the management of state finances in Indonesia associated with the government accounting system used. This research is a type of research of literature study using a qualitative approach. The data were obtained from various sources of reference, such as journals, expert statements, and media references. The results show that the Indonesian government in its accounting system is still based on Government Regulation No. 24 of 2005 which is the cash base toward accrual (cash toward accrual). However, Due to the growing demands of the community and the encouragement of international institutions to apply the accrual basis, the Indonesian government continues to improve its accounting system. It encouraged the government in 2010 through the Government Accounting Standards Committee to issue accrual based government accounting standards established through Government Regulation No. 71 of 2010 on Government Accounting Standards superseding Government Regulation No. 24 of 2005. The Government of Indonesia has implemented reforms in the field of accounting with the necessity setting up accrual basis accounting. The use of an accrual basis is one of the characteristics of modern financial management practices in the public sector that aims to provide more transparent information. But in reality, the application of accrual-based accounting system is still a lot of constraints on the human resources sector. Keywords : Accrual basis, cash basis, government accounting system  ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengelolaan keuangan negara di Indonesia terkait dengan sistem akuntansi pemerintahan yang digunakan. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian studi literatur dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Data diperoleh dari berbagai sumber referensi baik jurnal, pernyataan para ahli, maupun referensi dari media. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemerintah Indonesia dalam sistem akuntansinya masih berdasarkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 24 Tahun 2005 yaitu basis kas menuju akrual (cash toward accrual). Namun, Karena adanya tuntutan dari masyarakat yang semakin kuat dan adanya dorongan dari lembaga-lembaga internasional untuk menerapkan basis akrual, maka pemerintah Indonesia terus berupaya memperbaiki sistem akuntansinya. Hal tersebut mendorong pemerintah pada tahun 2010, melalui Komite Standar Akuntansi Pemerintahan menerbitkan standar akuntansi pemerintahan berbasis akrual yang ditetapkan melalui Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 71 tahun 2010 tentang Standar Akuntansi Pemerintahan menggantikan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 24 tahun 2005. Pemerintah Indonesia telah melaksanakan reformasi di bidang akuntansi dengan keharusan menerapan akuntansi berbasis akrual. Penggunaan basis akrual merupakan salah satu ciri dari praktik manajemen keuangan modern di sektor publik yang bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi yang lebih transparan. Namun kenyataannya penerapan sistem akuntansi berbasis akrual tersebut masih banyak kendala pada sektor sumber daya manusianya. Kata kunci :  Basis akrual, basis kas, sistem akuntansi pemerintahan

ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the adequacy of SAK ETAP as a cooperative financial reporting standard in Indonesia. With a literature study approach, the authors examine the ability of SAK ETAP in meeting the provisions of Law No. 25 of 1992 concerning Cooperatives, as well as comparing them to PSAK 27 concerning Cooperatives that have been revoked. This research found that to date SAK ETAP has not been able to meet the provisions of Law No. 25 of 1992 in cooperative financial reporting because it does not explicitly present members' economic promotion reports, which is very important information that must be presented to users of cooperative financial statements. This is a new finding because research on the adequacy of SAK ETAP as a cooperative financial reporting standard has never been done before. The results of this study have implications for the obligations of the IAI Standards Board to immediately adjust SAK ETAP to be able to meet the needs of users of cooperative financial reports on relevant information as a basis for making decisions. Keywords: ETAP, Cooperatives, Financial Statements, Act 25 1992, Promotion of Members' Economy

This study examines the historical development during the 20th century of the totals column reported on the financial statement that reported assets, liabilities, and equity for all funds of state and local governments (SLGs) within the United States. This research documents the evolution of accounting standards that addressed the totals column. SLG accounting professionals and standards-setters debated whether it was appropriate for SLGs to report a combined totals column throughout the century. The totals column was optional or forbidden in some reporting standards. Other SLG standards permitted a totals column, but always with reservation. A consolidated totals column was never acceptable until Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34. Statement 34, issued in 1999, required SLGs to report all primary government funds in a single consolidated totals column on a new Statement of Net Assets. The Statement of Net Assets was the first time users were able to assess the financial position of the SLG primary government in a single consolidated column. This study provides the historical developments that led to this major revision in SLG financial reporting.
