The Indonesian government and several other non-profit organizations have received many foreign grants, one of which is the Global Fund AIDS Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) grant. As an institution that receives a Sub Recipient TB Care of ‘Aisyiyah East Java grant, it has an absolute obligation to account for the funds received, one of which is an accountable financial report. However, achieving accountability is not easy, you have to go through a long process with strict terms and conditions from donors. Because this sometimes makes institutions and even providers of financial reports such as accountants feel bored and accountability is increasingly difficult to realize. Factors of human resources, tasks and the environment are the benchmarks for an accountant of foreign grants to have a strong view of the perception of accountability. The purpose of this study is to determine the perception of accountants in assessing financial statement accountability as an expense or an asset. This study uses a qualitative method with an emphasis on interviews. The results of the study show that the accountability of financial statements is considered an intangible asset because apart from the benefits of funds for the beneficiaries of the grant, there are also non-financial benefits for the implementers of the grant, including the financial staff. The finance staff not only benefited from intangible wealth in improving the quality of the accounting field, but also gained a general understanding of TB health and extensive networking with various sectors.

The aim of this study would be to see how independence commissioners, internal auditors, and size of the company affect the financial statement reputation of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange that produce basic industrial and chemical products (IDX). The findings revealed that having an impartial board of commissioners had a substantial positive impact on financial statement transparency, while having an audit committee and a large corporation had no significant impact. Based on the findings of data analysis research, the audit committee cannot boost the accuracy of the company's financial statements, according to this report. Meanwhile, one of the audit committee's responsibilities is to enhance the accuracy of the company's financial reports such that the details in the financial statements remains current and trustworthy.

This chapter provides a clear conceptual discussion on the recent developments in the Financial Statement Analysis (FSA). It presents how IFRSs changed the outlook of the financial reporting and the analysis and explains the key points that should be considered in FSA. Using a case study on the financial reports of Turkcell, a communication and technology company listed both on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Borsa Istanbul (BIST), the differences between IFRSs and U.S. GAAP accounting standards in the measurement of overall financial performance and position are documented. Overall findings show that IFRSs change the appearance of financial statements significantly. While IFRS reporting extenuates “the bottom line” it accentuates total assets with higher shareholder equity compared to U.S. GAAP. This chapter might be a practical guide for users, preparers, and regulators to understand the cosmetic impact of IFRSs on financial statements.

The purpose of this study is to determine the suitability of the presentation of the An-Nahl Pandaan KPRS financial statements to Syaria FAS. This research uses descriptive qualitative research in which the purpose is to describe and illustrate the application of Sharia Financial Accounting Standards in terms of the financial statements prepared by KPRS An-Nahl Pandaan.

The results of the analysis and discussion of this study indicate that most of the financial statement presentations in KPRS An-Nahl are in accordance with Sharia FAS even though only the entity only reports the financial position (Balance Sheet).
