This research aims to analyze the influence of internal control, religiosity and organizational commitment on the performance of amil zakat with accountability as an intervening variable in the Zakat Management Organization in Riau Province. This research is quantitative, so the model used is Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Square. The number of samples analyzed in this research was 136 zakat amil, administrators and implementers at Zakat Management Organizations in Riau Province. The results of this research indicate that there is no direct influence between internal control and Amil Zakat's performance. Still, through the accountability variable, internal control has a positive and significant effect on Amil Zakat's performance. Organizational commitment has a direct effect on Amil's performance but does not have a direct effect on accountability. The accountability variable mediates the relationship between organizational commitment and zakat amil performance. Meanwhile, religiosity has no effect on Amil's performance but has a positive and significant effect on the accountability variable. The accountability variable has a direct effect on Amil Zakat's performance variable. The theoretical implication is that internal control, religiosity and organizational commitment should be used as theories and indicators in improving Islamic performance through Islamic accountability which is a concept as well as a process of accountability for every human being before Allah SWT. The managerial implication of this research is to pay attention to indicators that influence the performance of Amil Zakat which can be seen from the accountability process carried out by Amil such as internal control, religiosity and organizational commitment. Every Zakat Management Organization is expected to have a zakat amil who has competence in the fields of management and accounting to improve the performance of Amil Zakat l and increase the trust of Muzakki and the community.

The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of risk management and control practices at BMT UGT Nusantara, an Islamic microfinance institution in Indonesia, with a particular emphasis on financing risk, liquidity risk, and Sharia compliance risk. These three risks are said to occur frequently and have a direct impact on performance. Because of the uniqueness of the site, the design of this qualitative research is descriptive and exploratory with a holistic single-case approach. In-depth interviews, field observations, focus group discussions, and a review of supporting documents were used to collect data. Because the interactive cycle process includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data withdrawal, data analysis employs an interactive model. The data was validated using the criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The study's findings show that BMT UGT Nusantara, an Islamic microfinance institution in Indonesia, employs traditional-partial risk management on financing risk, liquidity risk, and Sharia compliance risk. Risk management is carried out by integrating "macul bumi", or outward efforts based on sincerity, and "macul langit", or spiritual efforts. Furthermore, it employs information systems that play an important role in risk management in order to improve organizational performance and competitive advantage.    

This study aims to investigate and examine the role of accountability in strengthening business sustainability from an Islamic perspective. This research methodology uses qualitative methods and uses literature and documentation study techniques. The research data came from secondary data sources, based on literature studies, and were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively with emphasis on the use of scientific logic. The results of the study found that Islam is a system of life that regulates all aspects of life both in ritual matters such as faith (aqidah) and worship, as well as covering mu’amalah, activities that regulate the way of life of fellow human beings to meet the needs of everyday life issues such as government politics, economics, education, and social systems, including related to how accountability must be realized in a business or company. The accountability mechanism that is carried out must prioritize the principle of trust, especially in working with both subordinates who are given the mandate and superiors who give the mandate and are carried out as worship to Allah SWT. At the level of society and the state, Islam also regulates how accountability must be realized in the administration of the state by a leader or caliph. A leader will be held accountable both horizontally and vertically. Therefore, the results of this research are expected to be used by stakeholders including the government, legislators, academics, practitioners in both profit and non-profit organizations, and other interested parties, especially regarding the role of accountability in strengthening business sustainability in an Islamic perspective.

Islamic bank is a bank that implement Islamic principles, including the implementation of policies and activities that should be in accordance with Islamic business ethics. This study discusses about how to behave ethically in solving the non-performing financing in Islamic banks. The non-performing financing has the potential to bring losses to banks. For Islamic banks which provide financing under mudharaba contract, this contract brings more risk to banks. Using a qualitative approach in the form of library research by gathering relevant library resources and abstracting and interpreting the excerpts of references to draw conclusions, this study seeks to explain how to solve non-performing financing from the view of Islamic business ethics. This study uses seven dimensions of Islamic business ethics to describe ethical behavior in resolving nonperforming financing, namely: (1) Unity of God (2) benevolence, (3) justice, (4) sincerity, (5) Equilibrium (6) responsibility and (7) vicegerency. The findings of this study summarize that resolving non-performing financing in Islamic Banks should consider the seven ethical variables to minimize the potential harms or losses. This study will contribute to the body of knowledge on Islamic Bank financing and the practical benefits for the officials and employees in Islamic Banks as there is still limited research regarding this topic. Future studies are encouraged to cover other specific financing activities or products to broaden the knowledge through the findings.  

This study examines and analyzes diversification and intellectual capital on sustainability performance mediated by financial performance. This research was conducted at Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS) in Indonesia, registered with the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) for 2011 - 2018, with a total sample of 10 Islamic banks that meet the criteria according to the sampling method used, namely purposive sampling. The data analysis technique used SEM-PLS with the help of WarpPLS 7.0 software. The results showed that intellectual capital and financial performance had a positive effect on sustainability performance, but diversification was not significant on sustainability performance. Financial performance can mediate the relationship between diversification and intellectual capital on sustainability performance. The VAF method calculates the mediating effect with financial performance results partially mediates because the VAF value is less than 80%.

The sample size in this study was 145 respondents, calculated using the Slovin formula. The data analysis methods used in this study include reliability tests, validity tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study show that, partially, religiosity has a negative and insignificant effect on the intention to pay ZIS through e-wallets. The variables of ease and trust have a significant positive effect on the intention to pay ZIS through e-wallets. When considered simultaneously, religiosity, ease, and trust have a significant effect on the intention to pay ZIS through e-wallets.

As a main characteristic of Islamic banks, profit-sharing financing (PsF) has an actual influence on driving the economy in the real sector. A PsF using mudharabah and musyarakah contract is mostly channeled to fund productive businesses. This study tries to find out how the Islamic bank performance reflected by credit risk, profit-sharing rate, and liquidity can increase the PsF growth in Islamic banks. Using a quantitative approach through regression analysis, this study analyzed the impact arising from the improved credit risk, profit-sharing rate, and liquidity on the growth of PsF. The data used is secondary data obtained from statistics on Islamic banking in Indonesia (ranging from the 1st quarter of 2015 to the 4thquarter of 2021). The findings revealed that the Islamic bank performances as represented by credit risk, profit-sharing rate, and liquidity can be an indicator of growth of PsF. A low profit-sharing rate, credit risk, and liquidity risk will encourage PsF growth.

The main contribution to the income of Islamic Rural Banks (IRBs) comes from financing provided where there are two financing schemes consisting of profit-sharing financing (musyarakah and mudharabah) and profit margin financing (murabahah). The main purpose of this study is to analyze the financing scheme that affects the bank's profitability. This study will also analyze the effect of Islamic bank performance on profitability. Financial performance that is thought to have an effect on profitability is the capital adequacy ratio (CAR), financing to deposit ratio (FDR), non-performing financing (NPF), operating expense to operating income ratio (OEIR), third-party funds (TPF) and bank size (SIZE). The population in this study were 165 BPRS in Indonesia with a sample of 100 BPRS. Observation period for 4 years (2018-2021) with quarterly data. This study uses a panel data regression analysis to test the hypothesis. After being tested with Chow-test and Hausman-test, the best model from panel data regression was the fixed effect model. The results of the research showed that profit-sharing financing (PSF) and SIZE have a positive and significant effect on profitability while profit margin financing (PMF), CAR and FDR have no effect on profitability. On the other hand, financial performance which has a significant negative effect is NPF, OEIR and TPF, while CAR and FDR has a significant positive effect.
