 The aim of this paper is to present the relation between efficient internal control and accounting procedures and how the internal control system could play an important role in reducing bureaucracy. Nowadays, the government accounting and control of public finances are a national and international priority, in the context refugee crisis and terrorist attacks. Modernization of the public sector accounting could accelerate the process of reducing bureaucracy by implementing accounting information system and electronic signature. The reform of the public administration in all European countries developed new control techniques and procedures in order to control public sector budget and financial activity. Efficient intern control procedure and managerial responsibility could contribute to good governance, transparency and low level of bureaucracy.

Effective Service

The public sector in Nigeria is irrefutably beset with gross  incompetence and ineffective management. Perplexing difficulties endure in the Nigerian public sector in spite of a number of reform programmes that have been designed to enhance efficient and effective service delivery for almost two decades. The fact that public service has failed dismally to achieve its laudable objectives is the reason for the vote of no confidence passed on its administrators by majority of the Nigerian populace. The article examines the dilemma of accountability and good governance in Nigeria and demonstrates that the critical point in achieving meaningful developments in the country intrinsically lay with improved service delivery in the public sector. The basic reason why the public service has become the scorn of the people is because for too long, both the government and public servants have paid lip service to the crucial issue of effective and efficient service delivery. The article argues that improved service delivery will improve both the performance and the image of public service and re-awaken the citizens’ interest and trust in them to do business with public servants. It suggests that  in order to bring sanity back to the Nigerian Public Service,  all unprofessional tendencies such as ethnicity bias and nepotism in appointments and promotions, lack of security of tenure of office, and appointment of non-career public servants into key positions in the public service must stop. Also,  effective service delivery must be tailored to the circumstances of Nigeria. The study made use of secondary data obtained from various sources. It therefore concludes that without a reawakening of the culture of accountability and transparency lost over the years, the trusting relationship needed to forge between the government and the governed for the actualization of good governance will not materialize.

Head Of Government

The Civil Service refers to the body of officials who carry out functions of government under the direction and supervision of the head of government [Rahman (1998), p. 2]. Excluded in this definition are employees of state-owned enterprises, the army, teachers, the judiciary and the police who, together with civil servants, collectively constitute the public sector. It is the civil service, and not the public sector, which will be the focus of this paper. Civil Service arrangements have emerged as important mediating institutions which interface between the state and its citizens. Traditionally these were monolithic, centralised, powerful structures with immense power over the management of the affairs of a nation, and often not very responsive to the changing needs of governance and public management.

<p>Abstrak: Penanganan terhadap persoalan korupsi merupakan tugas berat di setiap negara dalam mencapai good governance. Di Indonesia, sejak bergulirnya reformasi, terjadi peningkatan tindak pidana korupsi dan penyebaran pelakunya semakin meluas. Tulisan ini mencoba memberikan solusi tentang sanksi hukum pemiskinan koruptor, baik dari perspektif hukum pidana positif maupun hukum Islam. Menurut penulis, pemiskinan koruptor yang berarti sebuah hukuman untuk membuat tersangka menjadi miskin akibat aset dan harta benda yang dimilikinya sebenarnya mendapat preseden dari putusan-putusan hakim yang menyita harta koruptor. Dalam hukum pidana Islam, pemiskinan koruptor sebenarnya tidak sejalan dengan konsep ‘uqûbah atau penjatuhan sanksi bagi seorang terdakwa. Namun demikian, sebagai sebuah bentuk hukuman takzir berupa denda sejumlah uang yang dituntut oleh Jaksa Penuntut Umum terhadap seorang terpidana kasus korupsi, tampaknya boleh dilakukan.</p><p><br />Abstract: Impoverishment of Corruption Crime in the Perspective of Positive Criminal Law and Islamic Law.

According to the author, the impoverishment of corruption crime in the sense of sanction that causes the suspect in the state of poverty due to the fact that their property and asset prescribed in the precedent of the decisions of judges who confiscate criminals. In the Islamic perspective, the impoverishment of the corruption crime as punishment is not in line with a form of punishment named ‘uqûbah or impose sanctions for a defendant. Nevertheless, as a form of punishment in the form of fines as ta’zîr, an amount of money demanded by the public prosecutor against a convicted cases of corruption, perceived to be feaseable to be applied.</p><p><br />Kata Kunci: korupsi, koruptor, pemiskinan, jinâyah, hukum pidana</p>

Decentralization Policy

The downfall of the New Order Regime in 1998 brought about significant change to Indonesia’s public sector.  Law number 22 of 1999, further refined by Law 32 of 2004, provide legal bases for district governments to administer the public sector. The central government also introduces the notion of good governance through the promulgation of various regulations. For Madrasah however, decentralization policy failed to provide clear legal bases as to how it relates to district government. Law 32 of 2004 verse 10 article 3 retains the centralized management by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This however does not exclude Madrasah from public demand of implementing the principle of good governance. This study analyses the dynamics of principal-ship both in the Sekolah and the Madrasah in the era of decentralization. By comparing two research sites, this study sought to create better understanding about the context by which the organization climate of two different schools are shaped, and how principals and teachers perceives the notion of school leadership in the light of most recent policy development. To do this, interviews were undertaken and questionnaire-based data collection was also conducted. The study found that in the ground level implementation of decentralization policy, Sekolah developed more rigorous leadership compared to that in the Madrasah. This research recommends the adoption of stronger regulation regarding principal-ship of Madrasahs in order to create an environment that is more in tune with the spirit of public service reforms.

The quest to improve the government service delivery is becoming an important agenda for most governments. The introduction oflCT in the public sector especially E-Government initiatives opens up a new chapter in the government administration throughout the world. Governments have deployed ICT to serve their citizens in an efficient and effective manner. This paper presents an empirical investigation of Malaysian government's e-Procurement initiative (locally known as e-Perolehan). The aim of the paper is to examine factors that influence the current and future use of the system within the supplier community. These factors are grouped in three perspectives, (i) organizational perspective; (ii) technological perspective; and (Hi) environmental perspective. The general consensus amongst both the buyer and seller communities is that e-procurement will become an important management tool to enhance the performance of supply chain especially in the public sector. However, before this occurs, the findings suggest that several issues must be addressed by the relevant authorities in light of the three perspectives as mentioned above, to improve the procurement process at the federal government level.
