The lack of understanding is due to limited knowledge of accounting terms. In addition, the accountants are also struggling to adapt and adopt international accounting standards. Therefore, preparation of Indonesian accounting dictionary that can adopt international accounting standards is urgent to be made. “The accountant's understanding of international accounting standards is still lacking, therefore, the Indonesian accounting dictionary is urgent to be made," says Prof. Dr. Indra Bastian, M.B.A, Akt., on the sidelines of the IFRS International Training Training for Trainers and the preparation of Indonesia Accounting Dictionary, which was held in BRI Room 3rd Floor M.Si. and Doctoral Program, UGM Faculty of Economics and Business on Monday (17/1).
Indra Bastian added that up until now there is no Indonesian accounting dictionary existing. Whereas, the convergence of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) carries a wide impact on the development of accounting in Indonesia, both in practice and academic. This convergence affects accounting theory standards in Indonesia, which have an impact on changes in the financial statements of entities.
Moreover, the dominance of the practitioners who are members of the Indonesian Accountants Association (IAI) makes the IFRS adaptations almost without a filter. On the other hand, differences in language and interpretation problems in various accounting standards also become another urgent challenge in Indonesia. “Other challenges and obstacles are, among others, the interpretation as well as language barriers in adopting IFRS by the accountants which almost without a filter. About the number of accountants in Indonesia, I think it’s adequate," said the lecturer of Department of Accounting.
In relation to this, UGM Research and Training of Economics and Business (P2EB) and IFRS Centre of Excellence along with PricewaterhouseCoopers conducted this international training event. The event that was attended by about 100 accounting lecturers from various universities throughout Indonesia was held from 17 to 22 January 2011.
This training aims to provide a precise and profound understanding of IFRS. In addition, participants will be involved to become contributors to the preparation of the Indonesian Accounting Dictionary draft. "The draft of the Indonesian Accounting Dictionary will be used as guidance in interpreting the language of accounting," he added.
In addition, the participants will get a variety of materials, such as intermediate financial accounting, advanced financial accounting and accounting theory. They also will receive several certificates at once, both from P2EB UGM, IAI DIY, IFRS Centre of Excellence and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Speakers present in this training, among others, were Prof. Dr. Slamet Sugiri, M.B.A. ( Chairman of UGM Department of Accounting), Prof. Dr. Suwardjono, M.Sc. (Professor of Theory of Accounting), Dr. Setiyono Miharjo, M.B.A. (Financial Accounting Standards Board Member of IAI), Djohan Pinnarwan, S.E, BAP (PwC), and Dudi Kurniawan, SE, Ak., MBA (Member of the Financial Accounting Standards Board IAI).

The failure of decentralization and regional autonomy have been attributed to the uncertainty of the rules of the game. This will eventually caused the high cost economy for the provision of public services and local economic development.
A number of studies in developed and developing countries showed that decentralization and regional autonomy law have encouraged horizontal accountability. However, this condition also gives opportunities for new channels to practices of power abuse, such as corruption, collusion, nepotism, money politics, lobbying, bribery or gratuities. "In addition, one of the risks of the implementation of this system is the possibility of full control by local elites," said Prof. Wihana Kirana Jaya, M. Soc, Sc., Ph.D., at the Senate Hall on Thursday (23/12), when inaugurated as Professor of the Faculty of Economics UGM.
Some researchers argue that the failures are due to institutional design that has been built inefficiently. This institutional inefficiency is supposed to be the fundamental cause of economic stagnation in some developing countries and industrialized nations of the past.
"The collapse of the Soviet, Central Asia, and Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean economy are evidence of this case," said the Vice Dean for Students, Alumni, Cooperation, and Business Development.
Then how about Indonesia? According to Wihana, decentralization and regional autonomy policy, which began in 1974 to 2010, became a phenomena of institutional economy research laboratory that is very dynamic, exciting, and challenging to study. The policy not only has changed the rules of the game very drastically (big bang changes), but also changed the organization, the behavior of players, and human resources.
It is said by Wihana, the changes in decentralization and regional autonomy policies took the form of government change which was formerly very authoritarian to very democratic government. The form of government that used to be extremely centralized became decentralized. "But unfortunately, these rules are not followed by the changes in good governance," he said.
For the last eleven years, the implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy policy in Indonesia has resulted in positive and negative sides. In addition to increasing transparency, the policy of decentralization and regional autonomy has created opportunities for domination of control by local elites, which eventually produce asymmetric information. “Eventually, this also affects the institutional inefficiency," he continued.
The husband of dr. Usi Sukorini, M. Kes., Sp.PK (K), assessed the lack of institutional supervision and enforcement became a crucial factor for the stakeholders relationship in decentralization and regional autonomy. The institutional changes in decentralization and regional autonomy have resulted in uncertainty of who has the principal authority and who is given the authority or representative (agent). "It's because institutional disharmony often happens and creates a bottleneck for the implementation of good governance," the father of Arya Pradipta, Damas Nawanda, and Dea Karina added.

Many factors affect the low interest in writing among the academics. In addition to oral rather than written culture, other factors that influence is the lack of incentives from the university / faculty. Also low interest in the research by academics and therefore contributes to the publication of research results.
"It seemed necessary extra effort because the cons are not as fast as compared to teaching performance. But the most essential factor is sometimes the academics are not in how to write articles, books and scientific papers," says Prof. Mudrajad Kuncoro, Ph.D at the workshop "Scientific Writing in Economics and Business: Writing is Easy" at the Hotel Phoenix Yogyakarta, Saturday (11/12).
Mudrajad said to be adept at writing the most important is the motivation for writing. In this course required an understanding of writing techniques. Because a Maradona still need to learn how to kick the ball an effective technique, and Arswendo Atmowiloto view that writing short stories or works of fiction is easy. "As for myself inclined to say write it easy easy difficult," he said.
Editor in Chief, Journal of of Indonesian Economy & Business is recognized that for novice writers write is tough. Even so the author does not have to have talent, because of various difficulties can be overcome by learning and developing habits. Like a person smokes, if every day to spend a single cigarette, it can be ascertained within a month someone has become a smoker. "I chose to dive straight into the pool, so write what is known first and then how to write a good theory. So the talent is only requirement, but not enough to be able to write," he said.
According to the Chairman of the Department of Economics FEB UGM activity of writing open and promising better economic life. He cited the author of the Harry Potter novels, J.K. Rawling. With the works of Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, JK Rawling earn USD 2.97 million, or about 29.7 billion dollars. "In fact JK Rawling himself has written seven other novels Harry Potter," he said.
Therefore, to be the best seller requires commitment. For skills, quality and productivity continues to increase then the authors need to provide a special time to write. In addition, he must discipline in managing time. "Respect the time and do not like to delay the work is expected. Therefore the authors should be able to recognize the daily activities and priorities. Indeed the journey should even be used to write," says the author 30 books this scientific.
Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, research and community service FEB UGM, BM Purwanto, MBA., Ph.D., welcomed the organization of a workshop that was held Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business FEB UGM. That workshop was a positive activity to grow basic values like honesty and sharing for others.
