The phenomenon of corruption cases continues to increase from year to year, both from the number of cases that occur and the amount of state financial losses incurred. The criminal acts of corruption committed are also increasingly systematic and massive in all aspects of society's lives. To respond to this phenomenon, the Government, in this case the Ministry of Finance, issued a "breakthrough" in the system of government expenditure transactions, by issuing cashless government system with modern payment instruments. The cashless payment system is expected to close the potential gaps of corruption arising from conventional payment systems using physical money. Transactions carried out with non-cash payment systems can be traced in full and in detail, starting from who the user is, when and where the transaction is conducted, what is the purpose of using the transaction, and what is the nominal value. The use of cashless payment instruments is also expected to be able to fulfill the principles of (1) flexibility, (2) safety in transactions and fraud avoidance, (3) effectiveness, and (4) accountability while paying attention to the precautionary principles in the use of state budget. The cashless government system is expected to be a solution to the acceleration of government performance and public services within the framework of presenting clean, transparent and accountable governance. In the end, improving the working system of government organizations is expected to be able to encourage economic growth and provide benefits for improving the welfare of the community.

Abstract In the past few years, community organizing has been initiated by different government and non-government organizations in corruption prevention through creating social awareness and motivation. The question arises: Can community-based organizations or community organizing empower people to raise their voice to prevent corruption? Based on empirical evidence, this research argues that engaging the community in anti-corruption initiatives can be an effective way to avert corruption and empower people’s voice. The finding shows that anti-corruption initiatives through spontaneous individual and collective involvement at the local level have an impact on creating accountability and transparency. Despite several challenges, these group and individual efforts have had significant results in promoting anti-corruption efforts in Bangladesh. Effective anti-corruption initiatives in engaging the community need ‘spontaneous’ participation by individuals or groups. As such, the government should give primacy of these individuals and groups and use them to create more formalized corruption watchdog bodies at the sub-regional level and make it a stronger National Integrity Systems foundation.

Modern society is determined not only with a high level of development, but also a lot of social and economic problems. In the last years more and more popular became the meaning, that a lot of these problems could be solved with the canceling of cash. Experts and usual people are thinking that a new society will be more fair and transparent with less of criminal, drugs, economic fraud, unmotivated preference for individual categories, where everybody is paying less of tax and where is a high level of wealth protection. But in the real situation seems not so optimistic. In Life privacy.

Besides that, using most mobile payment systems need geolocation – as result everybody will be all the time trecked in all senses of this word. In psychological sphere using electronic money will increase money spendings because using cash is combined with the feeling of pain, when people are spending them and e-money are for most of people something not so important, especially for young people (like money in PC game). In social shpere the cashless society will make problems for disabled people, people with mental problems and also can influence dementia by older people. Criminal. even if we will live in the cashless society with the modern trends, the level of financial fraud will reduce maximal on 15%, and P. Schmidt considered, that all the criminals will find another way for their activity. Besides that e-money and society are stimulating the growth of cybercrime and it is always growing and the companies, who had lost against cybercrime had spent more money for investigation of that cases, then they have lost. Unemployment. First of all, the system of cash circulation is huge. A lot of people are creation, designing, proofing, printing, gathering, retailing cash and also working each day in banks, cashier’s offices, shops and so on. Also many companies are producing stuff combined with cash. From wallets to cash machines. All these brunches will not exist anymore and all the people will lose their jobs. Economy. One of the main reasons to cancel cash was that in the cashless society will be impossible to set a negative rate and with the same it will be less of economic crises. But german economists have studied and proofed that it is possible and in this situation it will be more difficult to combat the crisis and cost much more for the government and people because all existing financial instruments that the government can use to fix situation are created only for cash and are working with it. Technical. Electronic systems could be crushed. Besides of that in case of wore or other conflicts people can ruin Internet connection all over the country and inhabitants will lose everything and have no possibility even get home. In general, e-payments are part of our life and they are very comfortable nowadays. But the canceling of cash will make more problems for people and organizations. This means that this could not be the right choice in the nearest future. Keywords financial system; cash; payment systems; cybercrime; banks; sociology; taxes; offshore zones.

Since 2010 the issues of development of retail payment systems in Russia have been discussed by the general public. But there is still a lack of assessments of possible macroeconomic effects. In our research we offer systematization of positive effects generated by broad implementation of retail payment systems and analyze the key tendencies in substitution of cash payments by non-cash payment instruments. We compare both potential of monetary policy and specific technical measures (growth in use of payment infrastructure, etc.) in stimulating households demand for retail payment systems in Russia. Using econometric analysis we conclude that technical measures are more effective. Besides, they are associated with lower macroeconomic risks in middle-term perspective.

<p class="Style4"><span>The rapid development of non-cash payment systems has also developed non-cash payment instruments which are alternative choices for MSMEs in the Citarum river basin to increase sales because they offer convenience to customers. MSMEs in the Citarum River Basin still need to accelerate in terms of business strategies to improve their business results. This needs to be done because buying and selling transactions with a non-cash payment system can be an efficient payment alternative as well as for transactions that can increase the effectiveness of the payment system at MSMEs. This research aims to help the community and MSMEs in the Citarum watershed to be more effective in making payment systems so that people make payments more easily and can increase sales. Non-cash payment systems are very useful for business people and the community in making payments so that MSMEs in the Citarum watershed are more advanced. The method used is the biplot and logit to determine the mapping model of the effectiveness of non-cash payments to MSMEs. The results of this study are that overall perceptions of benefits, convenience and risk from MSMEs do not significantly influence the effectiveness of non-cash payments. Between Perception of Benefits, Perception of Ease and Effectiveness has a positive correlation. Risk perception with other variables has a very low correlation.</span></p><p class="Style4"><span><strong>Key words:</strong> effectiveness, non-cash payment system, MSME</span></p>

This study aims to determine how the Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk or CWLS program is in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and its implications for economic resilience. The system pioneered and implemented by the Indonesian Waqf Board or BWI is an interesting matter to study. In addition, based on the analysis of the CWLS research VOSViewer software, not many have researched it. Researchers use policy making theory which is used as a research point of view. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. The results of this study indicate that the CWLS waqf system is a form of social investment in Indonesia. The Indonesian Waqf Board acts as an accelerator. The subject of this system is the cash waqf itself collected by BWI as the manager of Indonesian waqf or Nazhir through BNI Syariah and Bank Muamalat Indonesia as Islamic Financial Institutions Receiving Cash Waqf or LKSPWU. Then the cash waqf will later be managed and placed in the State Sukuk Instrument or State Sharia Securities (SBSN) issued by the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu). CWLS itself also implements economic resilience. It can be seen on the BWI website on Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS) that the government will use the results of the issuance of this State Sukuk to finance the state budget, including to finance the development of public service projects such as the development of educational infrastructure and religious services

Health is the basic right for everybody, therefore every citizen is entitled to get the health care. In enforcing the regulation for Jaringan Kesehatan Nasional (National Health Supports), it is heavily influenced by the foreign interests. Economically, this program does not reduce the people’s burdens, on the contrary, it will increase them. This means the health supports in which should place the government as the guarantor of the public health, but the people themselves that should pay for the health care. In the realization of the health support the are elements against the Syariah principles. Indonesian Muslim Religious Leaders (MUI) only say that the BPJS Kesehatan (Sosial Support Institution for Health) does not conform with the syariah. The society is asked to register and continue the participation in the program of Social Supports Institution for Health. The best solution is to enforce the mechanism which is in accordance with the syariah principles. The establishment of BPJS based on syariah has to be carried out in cooperation from the elements of Social Supports Institution (BPJS), Indonesian Muslim Religious (MUI), Financial Institution Authorities, National Social Supports Council, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Finance. Accordingly, the Social Supports Institution for Helath (BPJS Kesehatan) based on syariah principles could be obtained and could became the solution of the polemics in the society.
