Through qualitative methods including interviews, observations, and documentation, it was found that the institution only relied on monthly cash book reports, failing to meet ISAK 35 standards. By reconstructing financial statements according to ISAK 35 guidelines, the study demonstrates the importance of adherence to accounting standards for improved transparency and accountability. This research contributes to filling the knowledge gap regarding financial reporting practices in educational institutions and provides recommendations for enhancing financial management practices in line with ISAK 35.
