    Management Study Program of FEB UNIKOM Achieves Excellent Accreditation, Ready to Strengthen Innovation and Graduates’ Competitiveness

     

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM — The Bachelor of Management Study Program at the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) of Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) has successfully achieved Excellent accreditation from Perkumpulan Lembaga Akreditasi Mandiri Ekonomi Manajemen Bisnis dan Akuntansi (LAMEMBA), the Independent Accreditation Agency for Economics, Management, Business, and Accounting. This achievement was established through LAMEMBA Decree Number 272/DE/A.5/LAMEMBA-U/IX/2026. According to the accreditation certificate, the Bachelor of Management Study Program at Universitas Komputer Indonesia, Bandung, has been awarded Excellent accreditation, valid from September 4, 2026, to September 4, 2031.

    Achieving Excellent accreditation is a significant accomplishment for FEB UNIKOM in strengthening the quality of higher education, particularly within the Bachelor of Management Study Program. Previously, the Management Study Program had received an A accreditation rating from the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT). Therefore, achieving Excellent accreditation from LAMEMBA demonstrates the study program’s commitment and consistency in maintaining and improving the quality of education. This achievement also recognizes the various quality improvement processes that have been consistently implemented over the past several years.

    The Dean of FEB UNIKOM, Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, S.E., M.Ak., Ak., CA., expressed her gratitude for this achievement. According to her, the successful accreditation was not the result of preparations made only shortly before the assessment process, but rather the outcome of a long-term process that had been underway for the previous five years.

     “Alhamdulillah, it was an extraordinary process. Accreditation is not a process that ends in a particular year, after which we simply prepare the documents required for the assessment. Rather, it is a process that has been ongoing for the past five years,” said Prof. Siti.

    Prof. Siti viewed this achievement as evidence that the hard work and consistency of all elements within the faculty and study program can produce the expected results. “The Excellent accreditation proves, firstly, that hard work will produce the results we hope for. However, the greatness of Allah is also important because, without Allah’s love, we would not have achieved such extraordinary results,” she said.

    Consistency in Quality Improvement

    Furthermore, Prof. Siti emphasized that Excellent accreditation is not the end of FEB UNIKOM’s journey toward improving the quality of education. Instead, this achievement must be consistently maintained and further enhanced throughout the next five years by the Management Study Program.

    According to her, the Management Study Program must continue implementing the learning process and the Tridharma of Higher Education, supported by sound governance in accordance with the provisions and standards established by LAMEMBA.

    “Our hope going forward is that this will be our starting point at the Faculty of Economics, particularly in the Management Study Program, to continue implementing the learning process and the Tridharma of Higher Education, as well as strengthening governance over the next five years,” she explained.

    She further emphasized the importance of maintaining continuity after obtaining Excellent accreditation. The accreditation should not cause the academic community to stop pursuing improvements.

    “It cannot stop. After we receive Excellent accreditation, it does not mean that the process is over. We must continue implementing processes that comply with LAMEMBA’s requirements in this context,” Prof. Siti stated.

    The Challenge of Maintaining Excellent Accreditation

    Prof. Siti also emphasized that maintaining Excellent accreditation is a challenge in itself. The current accreditation certificate is evidence of the achievements that have been attained, but the quality of education must be consistently maintained. She believes that continuous quality assurance will also benefit graduates.

    Furthermore, a study program’s accreditation status provides important information for various academic and professional purposes. “It provides valuable benefits for graduates. Graduates also need accreditation certificates, especially those with Excellent accreditation,” she added. Ultimately, she hopes that the Management Study Program will be able to maintain its Excellent accreditation in the next accreditation period. “Maintaining that accreditation is not easy. Hopefully, the Management Study Program can maintain it again over the next five years,” she concluded.

    Meanwhile, the Head of the Management Study Program, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Raeni Dwi Santy, S.E., M.Sc., CIMA., CDMP., stated that the Management Study Program’s accreditation was inseparable from the collaboration, contributions, and commitment of various parties, including lecturers, educational staff, students, alumni, partners, and other stakeholders of the Management Study Program. “Alhamdulillah, we are very grateful for this Excellent accreditation. For us, the Excellent predicate is not merely an administrative achievement, but a reflection of the long process and collaborative efforts of the entire Management Study Program family in building a culture of quality and improving the quality of education,” she said.

    Furthermore, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Raeni emphasized that this achievement motivates the Management Study Program to continue conducting ongoing evaluation and development. According to her, changes in the business environment, technological developments, and the increasingly dynamic needs of the workplace require the study program to continuously adapt and provide relevant learning experiences for students.

    “This Excellent accreditation motivates us to continue moving forward. Going forward, we want to strengthen the quality of learning, curriculum innovation, the use of technology and artificial intelligence in learning, the implementation of the Tridharma of Higher Education, and collaboration with the business and industrial sectors so that UNIKOM’s Management graduates become more competent and competitive,” she explained.

    She also hopes that achieving Excellent accreditation will serve as momentum to strengthen the synergy among the entire academic community and stakeholders of the Management Study Program. In this way, the quality that has been achieved will not only be maintained throughout the accreditation period but will also continue to improve and have a tangible impact on students, graduates, and the community. “Excellence is not just a title listed on a certificate, but rather a responsibility to continue providing the best educational experience for students and ensuring that UNIKOM’s Management graduates are able to meet the needs of the workforce and adapt to future business developments,” she concluded.

    Achieving Excellent accreditation for the Management Study Program further strengthen FEB UNIKOM’s commitment to making quality improvement a continuous process. With this achievement, the Management Study Program is expected to continue developing in the areas of learning, the Tridharma of Higher Education, governance, and its contribution to producing high-quality and competitive graduates.

  • Integrating Qur’anic Principles and Technology: The PKM Team from the Accounting Study Program at UNIKOM Holds a Training Session on Managing Community Funds at Nugraha Mosque, Bandung City

    Integrating Qur’anic Principles and Technology: The PKM Team from the Accounting Study Program at UNIKOM Holds a Training Session on Managing Community Funds at Nugraha Mosque, Bandung City

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM — In an effort to promote transparent, accountable, and technology-based financial management within religious communities and households, the Community Service Team (PKM) from the Accounting Study Program of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) organized a training session titled “Smart Management of Community Funds: Training in Financial Record-Keeping Using a Simple Application.” The event was held on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at Nugraha Mosque, Jl. Muararajeun Kulon No. 50 RW 11, Cihaurgeulis, Bandung City.

    The PKM activity was led by a lecturer from the UNIKOM D3 Accounting Study Program and the main speaker, Assoc. Prof. Adeh Ratna Komala, S.E., M.Si., CERA. During the event, Assoc. Prof. Adeh was assisted by a team of students consisting of Dzikri Ahmadtulloh Al-Amin, Mohammad Agung Arrifai, Kania Erlina, Mutiyara Aldilani, and Muhammad Reyhan Adam Kustiwa. The event was also conducted in collaboration with the Nugraha Mosque Management, the Chairman of the Nugraha Mosque Prosperity Council (DKM), Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Raharjo, and the Principal of Bina Insan Nugraha TPA, Fathunnisa, S.T.P., M.T.

    In her presentation, Assoc. Prof. Adeh emphasized the importance of financial record-keeping, particularly in managing funds entrusted by the congregation. She explained that the primary foundation for financial record-keeping is found in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 282, the longest verse in the Qur’an. This verse outlines the rules and ethics governing financial transactions and debts, serving as guidance for Muslims to maintain proper administrative order through the recording and witnessing of transactions, thereby upholding justice and preventing disputes.

    Assoc. Prof. Adeh also noted that, based on this verse, every individual, especially those entrusted with responsibilities within an organization, is obligated to record all transactions that occur. Additionally, she explained that maintaining accountability in household finances is also an important responsibility, including for wives managing household budgets entrusted by their husbands. Proper financial record-keeping serves as a form of accountability that must be fulfilled responsibly. Furthermore, she presented the results of her 2025 research, which showed that household financial record-keeping plays a crucial role in maintaining family economic resilience and contributes to the creation of a harmonious family environment.

    During the event, the training was conducted interactively in two phases. In the initial phase, participants received training in simple manual financial record-keeping by creating bookkeeping tables consisting of columns for date, description, income, expenses, and balance. After understanding the basics of bookkeeping, participants were given practical exercises to record in a journal. Subsequently, participants were guided in using a digital financial record-keeping application developed by Chad Verbruggen and Sepran Ashari. During the practical session, the UNIKOM student team actively assisted participants in completing daily practice exercises using both applications, which participants found highly beneficial for managing financial records, whether for household purposes or for the financial administration of the TPA and the mosque. As a form of support for religious activities and mosque operations, the UNIKOM PKM Team also donated a Maxbox CTSR 151 speaker.

    Meanwhile, Brigadier General (Ret.) Raharjo, expressed his appreciation and gratitude to the UNIKOM PKM Team for providing training to the administrators and congregation of Nugraha Mosque. He also encouraged all participants to use the event as an opportunity to broaden their knowledge and perspectives, especially in response to the rapid pace of technological advancement. In line with this, the Principal of Bina Insan Nugraha TPA, Fathunnisa, S.T.P., M.T., expressed hope that similar activities could be conducted continuously so that mosque administrators receive ongoing guidance and the knowledge gained can be effectively implemented.

    Throughout the event, participants demonstrated great enthusiasm in attending the entire training series. They also noted that financial record-keeping now feels much easier to manage, as the application used has significantly helped them maintain consistency in tracking daily income and expenditures.

  • UNIKOM PKM Team Helps SMEs Level Up Through Excel-Based Financial Reporting Training at Kios Bos Kecos

    UNIKOM PKM Team Helps SMEs Level Up Through Excel-Based Financial Reporting Training at Kios Bos Kecos

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM — On Friday, April 24, 2026, Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM), community service team, consisting of lecturers, alumni, and students from Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), carried out a community service activity as a contribution by the university to the empowerment of the micro-business sector. The PKM activity was led by a lecturer from the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ely Suhayati, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA., with team members including lecturer Fakhrian Fadlia Adiwijaya, S.Kom., alumna Dini Fitriyanti, A.Md., and Nasya Rizqiana, a student in the Accounting Program.

    The PKM program was made possible through an internal grant from UNIKOM via the Community Service and Empowerment Division (DP2M). Under the theme “Preparing Financial Reports for Kios Bos Kecos Using Excel,” the program also partnered with the SME Kios Bos Kecos, located at Jl. H. Mansyur No. 117, RT 09/RW 04, Bojongsoang, Bandung Regency, West Java 40288.

    Kios Bos Kecos is a productive micro-enterprise operating in the garment tailoring service sector and has been in operation since January 2021. Initially, the business handled contract work for other parties. Over time, its strategic roadside location has helped it become increasingly well-known within the local community.

    However, throughout its development, Kios Bos Kecos has faced several challenges in business management, particularly in operational and financial aspects. These challenges have resulted in limited business promotion, while financial record-keeping has remained manual, preventing a comprehensive overview of business performance. As a result, it has been difficult for the business to formulate financial strategies or prepare the financial reports required to access financing.

    To address these challenges, the UNIKOM PKM team conducted outreach on the basic accounting cycle and provided training on preparing financial reports using Microsoft Excel. The use of Microsoft Excel, combined with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), was chosen for its ease of implementation, time efficiency, and flexibility in correcting input errors without the need to start over. This system is designed to be directly operated by SME owners.

    The activity was implemented using a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and direct field surveys. To measure the program’s success, an evaluation was conducted through a post-activity questionnaire, along with consultation services during the system implementation process, whether via telephone, WhatsApp, or direct discussions.

    Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ely, as the PKM team leader, stated that through this activity, partners received practical training in financial management that is more organized, systematic, and easy to implement. Additionally, the team provided guidance on utilizing Google Maps and social media to expand the reach of business promotion.

    Through this PKM program, the community service initiative is expected to encourage Kios Bos Kecos to adopt more orderly, efficient, and transparent business management practices. Improved capabilities in preparing financial reports are also expected to support more informed decision-making and strengthen access to financial institutions, thereby opening up broader opportunities for future business development.

The technical guidance materials were delivered in an applied and contextual manner, covering production cost planning, farm cash flow management, debt control and business risk management, as well as simple and practical profit calculation methods.

    The program also addressed various real challenges faced by farmers, including fluctuations in agricultural input prices, uncertainty of harvest yields, and weak farm financial record-keeping that is often mixed with household finances.

In the final stage, Gemini was used to help visualize ideas through initial mockup designs, simple user flows, and brief narratives explaining the prototype’s working mechanisms. Through these stages, participants not only generated business ideas but also took home initial prototype designs that were logical, tested, and ready for further development in the Sandboxing AI for Business ecosystem.

    Through this workshop, FEB UNIKOM reaffirms its commitment to providing economics and business education responsive to technological developments, while also encouraging the emergence of innovative business ideas that are oriented towards the responsible and sustainable use of artificial intelligence.
