    Management Study Program Invited Prof. Franco Fiordelisi in Visiting Lecture’ Financial Management, Recent Issues in Finance’

    The Management Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta invited another well-known professor in a series of visiting lectures for the 2021 Program Kompetisi Kampus Merdeka (PKKM). This time around, the Management Study Program invited Prof. Franco Fiordelisi, a professor in finance and banking from the University of Rome III, Italy. Prof. Fiordelisi also serves as the President of the Financial Intermediation Network of European Studies (FINEST).

    At the virtual guest lecture conducted through the Zoom Cloud Meeting on Tuesday (12/10/2021), Prof. Fiordelisi delivered material on financial management, specifically in risk management. At the beginning of his material presentation, Prof. Fiordelisi explained the definition of risk management in the banking sector, which includes two types of risk, interest risk and credit risk. He further explains the difference between risk and uncertainty, which is often considered to have the same meaning. In this case, according to Prof. Fiordelisi, there is little difference between risk and uncertainty.

    “Risk is a future condition with a measurable probability of occurrence, while in uncertainty, this possibility is unlimited or incalculable,” said Prof. Fiordelisi.

    After the brief explanation of risk and uncertainty, Prof. Fiordelisi explains the general definition of risk management as a logical process to reduce the possibility of loss. In between his presentation, Prof. Fiordelisi asked the participants about today’s biggest risks faced by the banking sector. The session provided an opportunity for students to interact directly with Prof. Fiordelisi.

    Afterward, Prof. Fiordelisi explains the stages/steps in risk management and interest rate risk. “Interest rate risk occurs due to a mismatch in value between assets (maturity) and profits,” explained Prof. Fiordelisi.

    Regarding interest rate risk, there are two effects of interest rates changes, the first effect changes in the market value of assets/debt as a direct effect of interest rates fluctuation. The second is the changes in the number of financial assets/debt as an indirect effect of interest rate movements.

    Di awal paparan, Prof. Fiordelisi menjelaskan mengenai pengertian manajemen risiko di sektor perbankan yang mencakup dua jenis risiko yaitu risiko suku bunga (interest risk) dan risiko kredit (credit risk).

    Dijelaskan juga mengenai perbedaan antara risiko dan ketidakpastian (uncertainty) yang seringkali dianggap memiliki makna yang sama. Dalam hal ini Prof. Fiordelisi menyatakan bahwa terdapat sedikit perbedaan antara risiko dan ketidakpastian.

    “Risiko adalah kondisi masa depan yang kemungkinan terjadinya dapat diukur, sementara dalam uncertainty (ketidakpastian) kemungkinan ini bersifat tidak terbatas atau tidak dapat diukur,” ungkap Prof. Fiordelisi .

    Penjelasan materi dilanjutkan dengan definisi dari manajemen risiko yang secara umum dapat diartikan sebagai proses logis yang dilakukan untuk mengurangi kemungkinan kerugian.

    Disela-sela paparan materinya, Prof. Fiordelisi memberikan pertanyaan pada peserta mahasiswa terkait risiko terbesar yang dihadapi oleh sektor perbankan saat ini. Sesi tersebut memberikan kesempatan bagi mahasiswa untuk dapat berinteraksi secara langsung dengan Prof. Fiordelisi.

    Selanjutnya Prof. Fiordelisi menjelaskan mengenai tahapan/langkah-langkah dalam manajemen risiko dan risiko suku bunga. “Risiko suku bunga terjadi akibat adanya ketidaksesuaian nilai antara aset (maturity) dan laba,” jelas Prof. Fiordelisi.

    Terkait risiko suku bunga, terdapat dua efek dari perubahan tingkat suku bunga, yaitu perubahan nilai pasar dari aset/utang yang merupakan efek langsung dari perubahan tingkat suku bunga, dan perubahan kuantitas aset finansial/utang, yang merupakan efek tidak langsung dari perubahan tingkat suku bunga.

  • Entrepreneurship Startup Training for FEB UNS Students

    Entrepreneurship Startup Training for FEB UNS Students

    Students of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB UNS), who are divided into two classes, are participated in a hybrid Entrepreneurship Startup Training. The on-site training was conducted in two classrooms, room no 2202 and 2203 FEB UNS, while the online sessions are available through a Zoom Cloud Meeting, Thursday (14/10/2021).

    Prof. Asri Laksmi Riani, M.Si., as the Chairman of the Entrepreneurship Laboratory (KWU Lab), in her report, states that the training is part of the training series organized by KWU Lab. “The Entrepreneurship training will last until mid-November 2021. The training began with the recruitment of Entrepreneurship trainers from FEB lecturers, which were selected from each study program. The recruitment is followed by Training of Trainer (TOT) that invites several speakers, preparation of modules, training implementation, preparation of business proposals, presentations, mentoring and evaluation,” said Prof. Asri.

    Further, Prof. Asri said that the training involves 18 FEB UNS lecturers as training instructors, 8 Academic Support Staff, and 29 students. Out of the 29 students who took the training, 24 students joined the on-site session, and five others are joining through an online meeting platform. Students are divided into six groups within three business sectors, namely fashion, culinary, and craft.

    The main objective of this activity is the achievement of UNS’ Main Performance Indicator (IKU), which specifies the number of students who start new businesses. Hence, this training is likely to be a pilot project for the upcoming training.

    In line with Prof. Asri, the Vice Dean of Academic, Research and Student Affairs, FEB UNS, Prof. Dr. Izza Mafruhah, SE, M.Si. in her speech states that a higher education institution has eight tasks within the IKU accomplishment, which includes graduates with decent jobs, entrepreneurship initiative, or further studies. Entrepreneurship is one of the schemes under the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) Program to prepare students with an entrepreneurial spirit.

    Prof. Izza hopes that the training facilitated by FEB UNS can be beneficial and creating added value for the students. The benefit should not be limited to the Certificates of Diploma Companion (SKPI) that will be given to all participants but also the knowledge and the strategies or tricks in entrepreneurship. To develop entrepreneurship, students need to collaborate with students from other faculties in order to get better results.

    Meanwhile, Drs. Rohman Agus Pratomo, the Head of Academic and Student Affairs Bureau in UNS, appreciates the entrepreneurship training conducted by FEB UNS through a hybrid system. With this training, students are expected to compete at the university level as well as at the national level.

    “With an early start in entrepreneurship activities, in the following year, students can participate in competitions at the university, and also the national level. Business planning prepared (by the students) was cool, can be implemented and developed. After the students are graduated, they can become entrepreneurs, so they will create jobs and employment and are not looking for jobs. Therefore, they can recruit their friends, neighbors, and many others. It will also certainly contribute to their alma mater university achievement,” he concluded. (Humas FEB)

    Dekan FEB UNS dalam laporannya menyampaikan, Masjid Al-Latief yang diresmikan saat ini sebelumnya merupakan sebuah musala. Renovasi terhadap bangunan sangat perlu dilakukan agar jamaah bisa lebih nyaman dalam menjalankan ibadahnya.

    Dekan juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Bank Mandiri, Bank BRI, Bank BNI dan OJK yang telah memberikan bantuan sehingga Masjid Al-Latief bisa lebih bagus dan memberikan kenyamanan jamaah dalam menjalankan aktifitas ibadah maupun lainnya.

    “Bangunan masjid kita desain dengan memenuhi filosofi  syariat, tarekat, hakikat, dan juga makrifat. Pilar-pilarnya gilig sebagai simbol manembah kepada gusti” ungkapnya.

    Dekan juga telah menunjuk dosen muda FEB, Ibrahim Fatwa Wijaya, Ph.D sebagai Takmir Masjid  Al-Latief untuk bisa lebih memakmurkan masjid.

    The Dean of FEB UNS, in his report, states that the Al-Latief Mosque was previously a prayer room (mushola). A critical renovation of the building is essential to provide a more comfortable prayer.

    The Dean also thanked Bank Mandiri, Bank BRI, Bank BNI, and OJK for providing assistance in the Al-Latief Mosque renovation. Thus, establishing a comfortable praying site for worshipers in carrying out prayer and other activities.

    “The design of our Mosque follows the philosophy of sharia, tarekat (order), hakikat (nature), and makrifat (knowledge). The pillars are ‘gilig (round in shape)’ as a symbol of ‘manembah kepada Gusti‘ (worshiping the God almighty),” he said.

    Prof. Wimboh delivers inauguration speech

    The Dean has also appointed a young lecturer from FEB UNS, Ibrahim Fatwa Wijaya, Ph.D., as the Takmir (manager) of the Al-Latief Mosque to maintain the Mosque further.

    “Alhamdulillah, the Al-Latief Mosque, which was previously a mushola, is now better, more comfortable, and beneficial for both of FEB academic community and the general community. The Al-Latief Mosque can be a center of excellence. Not only for prayer, not only to worship but to establish synergy in raising innovation for sharia values,” said Prof. Wimboh.

    Reviewing the Mosque architecture and facilities

    According to Prof. Wimboh, the significance of sharia and Islamic studies is mainly because the majority of the Indonesian population is Muslim. Therefore, increasing the percentage of community members who wish to enjoy Islamic banking products.

    “The potential for Sharia banking is still very small, with only 9 percent. Now, how can we increase that portion? Shariah products must be propagated. The community sharia assets must also be propagated. Mosque administrators should set in discussions regarding the innovations on how to develop the Mosque,” said Prof. Wimboh.

    After the inauguration, Prof. Wimboh, Prof. Jamal, and Prof. Djoko, alongside a number of invited guests, were reviewing the architecture and facilities at Al-Latief Feb UNS Mosque. (Humas FEB)
