PENERAPAN STRAIGHT LINE METHOD DALAM MENENTUKAN PENYUSUTAN ASET PADA SEKOLAH SMP NEGERI 35 MEDAN BERBASIS WEB
Authors: Lubis Muhammad Shirath , Sembiring Boni Oktaviana , Irwan Dedy 
Published: June 2024

SMP 35 Medan, yang berlokasi di Jl. Williem Iskandar Psr 5 Medan, menghadapi tantangan terkait ketidakakuratan dalam perhitungan penyusutan aset. Metode yang digunakan untuk menentukan nilai penyusutan aset seringkali tidak sesuai dengan standar akuntansi yang berlaku, sehingga laporan keuangan tidak mencerminkan kondisi keuangan sekolah yang sebenarnya. Hal ini menghambat proses pengambilan keputusan yang tepat oleh staf sekolah. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, penulis mengusulkan penerapan Metode Garis Lurus untuk menghitung penyusutan aset di SMP 35 Medan. Metode ini membagi penyusutan aset secara merata selama masa pakai ekonomisnya, sehingga setiap tahun terjadi penurunan nilai aset yang adil akibat penggunaan dan usia aset. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan metode garis lurus untuk penyusutan aset pada sistem berbasis web SMP Negeri 35 Medan adalah langkah penting menuju manajemen aset sekolah yang lebih efisien.

Enhancing audit accuracy: The role of AI in detecting financial anomalies and fraud
Authors: Bernard Owusu Antwi  , Beatrice Oyinkansola Adelakun  , Damilola Temitayo Fatogun  , Omolara Patricia Olaiya  
Published: June 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of auditing by significantly enhancing the ability to detect financial anomalies and fraud. The integration of AI in auditing processes offers unprecedented capabilities for analyzing vast datasets with greater speed and precision than traditional methods. This review explores the impact of AI on audit accuracy, focusing on its role in identifying irregularities and fraudulent activities. AI-driven auditing tools leverage machine learning algorithms and advanced data analytics to scrutinize financial records with a high level of detail. These tools can process extensive amounts of financial data rapidly, identifying patterns and deviations that may indicate anomalies or fraudulent behavior. Unlike conventional audit techniques, which often rely on sampling and manual checks, AI can evaluate entire datasets, ensuring comprehensive coverage and reducing the likelihood of undetected issues. One of the primary benefits of AI in auditing is its ability to enhance anomaly detection. Machine learning models are trained to recognize normal financial behaviors and flag deviations that may warrant further investigation. This capability is particularly valuable in identifying subtle or complex patterns of fraud that might be missed by human auditors. For example, AI can detect unusual transaction patterns, inconsistencies in financial statements, or irregularities in vendor or customer behaviors, which are common indicators of fraud. Moreover, AI's predictive analytics can proactively identify potential risks by analyzing historical data and forecasting future trends. This allows auditors to anticipate areas of concern and allocate resources more effectively, improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the audit process. Additionally, AI systems continuously learn and adapt, enhancing their accuracy and reliability over time. Despite its advantages, the implementation of AI in auditing also presents challenges. Ensuring data quality and integrity, addressing algorithmic biases, and maintaining transparency in AI decision-making processes are critical considerations. Auditors must also stay updated with evolving AI technologies and regulatory requirements to maximize the benefits while mitigating risks. In conclusion, AI holds significant promise for enhancing audit accuracy by improving the detection of financial anomalies and fraud. By integrating AI into auditing practices, organizations can achieve more thorough and reliable audits, ultimately strengthening financial oversight and integrity. However, careful management of the associated challenges is essential to fully realize AI's potential in the auditing domain.

Published: June 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly transforming risk assessment in audit planning and execution, offering unparalleled advancements in efficiency, accuracy, and strategic decision-making. This review explores the role of AI-driven risk assessment in revolutionizing the audit process, highlighting its benefits and the challenges associated with its implementation. AI technologies, particularly machine learning and advanced data analytics, are enhancing auditors' ability to identify, assess, and manage risks. Traditional risk assessment methods often rely on historical data and static models, which can be limited in their predictive power. In contrast, AI-driven approaches leverage vast datasets, continuously updating and learning from new information to provide dynamic and precise risk evaluations. One of the primary benefits of AI in risk assessment is its ability to process and analyze large volumes of data rapidly. AI algorithms can identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate potential risks, which might be missed by human auditors due to cognitive biases or data overload. This capability ensures a more comprehensive and accurate risk assessment, enabling auditors to focus on high-risk areas and allocate resources more effectively. Moreover, AI-driven risk assessment enhances the strategic planning of audits. By providing real-time insights into emerging risks, AI allows auditors to anticipate and address issues proactively. This forward-looking approach not only improves the efficiency of audit execution but also strengthens the overall risk management framework of organizations. Despite these advantages, integrating AI into risk assessment poses several challenges. Ensuring the quality and integrity of data is crucial, as AI systems rely on accurate and relevant information to produce reliable risk assessments. Additionally, the "black box" nature of some AI models can create transparency issues, making it difficult for auditors to explain how specific risk assessments were derived. Addressing algorithmic biases and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards are also critical concerns. In conclusion, AI-driven risk assessment is revolutionizing audit planning and execution by enhancing the ability to detect and manage risks with greater precision and efficiency. However, to fully realize its potential, auditors must navigate challenges related to data quality, transparency, and ethical considerations. By doing so, the audit profession can leverage AI technologies to achieve more robust and effective risk management practices, ultimately enhancing organizational resilience and accountability.

Allegories of the Extractive Economy: Wagner, Conrad, Fitzgerald
Authors: Bate Jonathan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article, originally presented as a keynote talk at the Sixteenth International F. Scott Fitzgerald Society Conference on 28 June 2023 in Växjö, Sweden, examines the influence of Richard Wagner’s opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung, composed between 1848 and 1874) on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s depiction of extractive capitalism in his 1920 short story “The Diamond as Big as the Ritz” and in The Great Gatsby. Although no direct evidence exists that Fitzgerald either read The Ring as the epic poem Wagner first wrote or attended a performance, “Wagnerism” was a central influence on modernist thinking, in particular the second opera of the cycle, Die Walküre (The Valkyrie). Fitzgerald absorbed a particular version of The Ring legend in which the theft of a magical gold ring from the maidens of the Rhine and their curse that whoever owns it may accumulate all the wealth of the world but will be doomed to a violent death serves as an allegory of extractive capitalism. This interpretation of Wagner was pervasive in the works of several authors who shaped Fitzgerald, including George Bernard Shaw and Joseph Conrad. “Diamond” and Gatsby share a vision of anthropogenic climate change that begins with the mass burning of fossil fuels during the Industrial Revolution and culminates for Fitzgerald in the flagrant consumer squandering of natural resources during the Jazz Age.
