The economic and financial uncertainties currently and in the future creates risks and challenges for domestic economic stability. Here cooperation between authorities or countries regionally and internationally is much required to guide monetary stability and financial system to support growth in each country.
This was said by Deputy Governor of Bank of Indonesia, Ardhayadi Mitroatmodjo, M.A., when giving general lecture for students of Accountant Profession Education Program, Faculty of Economics and Business UGM, at the Auditorium of Faculty of Cultural Sciences on Thursday (22/9). The event was guided by Chairman of Accountant Profession Education Program, Drs. Sugiarto, M.Acc., MBA.,Ak.
In line with the condition, the Bank of Indonesia, Ardhayadi said, gave a response by rates and mix of monetary policy and other macroprudentials to mitigata risks by still prioritising achievement of inflation target at 5%+% in 2011 and 4,5%+1% in 2012.
“For this, synergy between government, Bank of Indonesia, business sector, academicians and all aspects of the community to change challenge into opportunity,” said Ardhayadi.
Ardhayadi explained in the middle of worsening economic condition, domestic performance showed good endurance. BI predicted economic growth in 2011 and 2012 will reach 6,6% and 6,7% respectively, supported by export and growing investsments.
“But economic growth in 2012 has lower potential than projected. Economic growth, trade volume and world commodity price after the drop of US rating is predicted to slow down, encouraging lower Indonesian economic growth,”
Amidst the economic condition that faces global and domestic risks, Ardhayadi said unbalanced global economic recovery, debt risk persistence in European peripheral region, and phenomenon of economic warming in emerging markets, still have the risk to cause global finacnial market to fluctuate. The dynamics in global financial market will rapidly affect domestic economy due to the open nature of our financial market.

Until recently, Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Gadjah Mada continues its efforts to obtain accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate School of Business (AACSB). To achieve the accreditation, one of which is to implement the learning goals. The general learning goals that have been developed for the S-1 and S-2 is communication skills, team work, and ethics.
According to the Dean, Prof. Dr. Marwan Asri, M.B.A, in addition to the general learning goals, each course also has formulated specific learning goals. "The learning goals for doctoral programs are to make our doctoral program alumni as a qualified and independent researcher," said Marwan when delivering the Dean speech in order to commemorate the 56th Anniversary of the Faculty in Conference room on Monday (19/9).
Marwan added the number of S-1 students (including the International Undergraduate Program-IUP) is 2469 students (42%). For graduate programs, most students are students of Master of Management Program, 2190 students (38%). From this composition, it appears that the total number of active graduate students in the Faculty is greater than the number of active student of S-1 program (regular, international, and non-governmental).
With the number of faculty only 139 people and the number of students reaching 5821 people, the ratio of tenured faculty staff/ student is 1:42. Therefore, supporting lecturers, both from UGM and non-UGM, are needed primarily for master's programs. "However, because there is goal congruence with AACSB accreditation application process, in selecting lecturers from outside UGM, managers of study programs are expected to choose those who have academic qualifications in accordance with the criteria we have," said Marwan.
IUP in the view of Marwan is a strategic business unit that has to be managed seriously. IUP is one of the 'vehicles' that is used strategically to achieve the vision to become a global player. Considering the more strategic role of IUP and the rapid growth of IUP, the accreditation from AACSB is a necessity that must be achieved. "I believe, one reason for the increasing number of universities abroad that are asking to coperate with us is because they know that we have clear learning goals and are in the process of AACSB accreditation," he added.
However, Marwan Asri recognized that related to the implementation of the international programs, some problems are still encountered by foreign students studying in the international program. The problem is related to the replacement schedule. "Actually, this also applies to all study programs, namely that the lecturers can keep up with the schedule that has been prepared and do not often change the schedule," asks Marwan.
On that occasion, Marwan provides data on the increasing number of students who enroll at the IUP program in 2011, namely up to 255 people. This number increased by about 61% than in 2010, which is 158 people registrants. From the number of registrants, in 2011, the IUP program receives as many as 76 people. Marwan also explained that the cooperation with universities abroad also increased.
In 2010/2011new cooperation with four universities in foreign countries had been signed, namely Saxion University of Applied Science and Hanze University of Applied Science (Netherlands), University of Victoria (Canada) and Hochshule Osnabruck University of Applied Science (Germany). "In addition, the number of foreign students accepted here also increased. In 2011 there were 53 foreign students for the S-1 study or Double Degree Program as well as student exchange," he added.
In addition to Dean's speech, the pinnacle of the 56th Anniversary was also filled with the Scientific Oration by Prof. Dr. Zaki Baridwan, M. Sc entitled Sustainability Accounting and Reporting and the launching of the book Management Perspective.
