Sutaryo pada saat membuka acara tersebut menyampaikan bahwa pentingnya pengelolaan dan pelaporan keuangan Badan Layanan Umum Daerah (BLUD) Puskesmas.
“Dengan pengelolaan Unit Pelaksana Teknis Dinas (UPTD) Puskesmas di Kawasan Kabupaten Wonogiri menggunakan pola BLUD, diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pelayanan kepada masyarakat dan memberikan dampak positif kepada APBD karena pola BLUD memberikan flesibilitas kepada UPTD Puskesmas dalam mengelola keuangan secara mandiri”, ujar Sutaryo.
dr. Setyarini, M.Kes. selaku Kepala Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Wonogiri juga menyampaikan bahwa UPTD Puskesmas yang menerapkan pola Pengelolaan Keuangan BLUD dapat meningkatkan pelayanan dari instansi Pemerintah Daerah kepada masyarakat dalam rangka memajukan kesejahteraan umum dan mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa.
Oleh karena itu, dalam rangka menerapkan pola pengelolaan keuangan BLUD, maka pengelolaan dan pelaporan keuangan BLUD perlu adanya pendampingan oleh tenaga ahli.
Why? Because each professor brings expertise in a specific field—like myself, who may have knowledge in finance but not in marketing. Professors complement each other’s skills, yet many are not directly involved in practical fields. This is why it’s essential to hold public lectures and collaborate with external parties,” he explained.
He further noted that guest lectures like this are vital to enhance students’ capabilities, update their skills, and refine their soft skills, helping prepare them for the workforce. Students must cultivate additional competencies beyond their regular coursework to be well-equipped for future careers.
“Good morning everyone, Prof. Hurng-Jyuhn Wang, Prof. Doo Chul Kim, and Dr. Yung Yung Chang. It is an honor for us to welcome you to our faculty. We thank you for your visit to FEB UNS. The collaboration between the two institutions aims to increase the two universities’ excellence and encourage innovation, thus, it can benefit the community,” said Dr. Dwi Prasetyani.
Dr. Dwi introduced FEB UNS faculty members in attendance, among others are the Vice Deans, Dr. Djuminah and Dr. Tastaftiyan Risfandy; the Head of the Master and Bachelor Programs at FEB UNS; the Head of the FEB International team, Tri Mulyaningsih, PhD., and FEB UNS faculty members. Further, Dr. Dwi explained that at FEB UNS, lecturers are required to join a research group, which consists of lecturers with the same field of study. Additionally, Dr. Dwi mentioned that later on, the two universities can discuss certain potential for collaboration, such as international research collaboration and various other activities.
The Taiwanese delegation, Prof. Hurng-Jyuhn, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to visit FEB UNS. “For me, this is my second visit to Solo. Every time we visit, we always get a new experience. This city is different from other cities, being a city that used to be a kingdom, hence, it’s rich in history. This visit marks the beginning of our future collaboration,” he said at the beginning of his presentation.
Prof. Hurng-Jyuhn also introduced the National Dong Hwa University through his presentation, where he mentioned that the National Dong Hwa University was established in 1994, a young but strong university. “Our university is very focused on development, with a campus area of about 251 hectares, where we always maintain and work surrounded by a green environment,” said Prof. Hurng-Jyuhn.
Starting with an opening remark by the Head of the Master’s Program in Accounting, Dr. Wahyu Widarjo introduced the new students to several previous heads of the Master’s Program in Accounting before he assumed the position. He also introduced various stakeholders within the program.
He also covers the Rector’s Regulation No. 23 of 2020, Article 31, on learning outcomes, emphasizing the importance of timely study completion and the publication prerequisites for graduation. This requirement ensures that each student has at least one scientific paper published in an internationally or nationally accredited journal, listed as Sinta 2 as the minimum requirement.
Based on Dr. Wahyu’s presentation, the Master’s Program in Accounting facilitates students to become familiar with publication writing as early as possible. Thus, this webinar serves not only as a medium for international exposure for students but also aims to extend students’ understanding of how to start writing and choosing research topics.
She also highlighted the importance of understanding environmental issues due to climate change, which increases financial risks. In Australia, this research trend is also prevalent and has been implemented, for instance, in companies like AMPOL and VIVA ENERGY AUSTRALIA.
