Jakarta, April 17, 2025 – FEB UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta has once again demonstrated its commitment to establishing synergy between the academic world and the Islamic banking industry. This was realized through the holding of the Practitioner Teaching the Introduction to Accounting Course with the theme "Dissecting Islamic Bank Financial Reports: Transparency and Trustworthiness in Real Practice" in collaboration with BTN Syariah. This activity took place on Thursday, April 17, 2025 at 07.30 WIB until finished at Theater 2 FEB UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. The event was attended by BTN Syariah staff and students of the Islamic Economics Study Program who were taking the Introduction to Accounting course. The event began with remarks from Dr. Erika Amelia, S.E., M.Si, as Deputy Dean 2 of General Administration and also a lecturer in the introductory accounting course. In her remarks, she emphasized the importance of understanding sharia-based accounting and finance, especially to answer the challenges of digitalization that continue to grow in the banking world. He also hopes that this activity will be the first step for students to be more open and understand in depth the concept of Islamic banking in Indonesia, especially regarding financial reports.

The next event was a teaching practitioner activity with a resource person, Mr. Ide Kusuma Pribadi, S.T., M.M., he is the Deputy of Islamic Business Finance at BTN Syariah. He gave a brief explanation of the operational mechanisms of Islamic banks in Indonesia, with a focus on practices at BTN Syariah. He emphasized that the principles of transparency and trustworthiness are the main foundations in the financial management of Islamic banks, as well as being different from conventional banks that have been present in Indonesia for a long time.
In the material session, the resource person from BTN Syariah explained in detail the meaning of accounting and Islamic accounting, including the purpose of its application in the Islamic banking system. In addition, the general principles of Islamic accounting and its differences from conventional accounting were also discussed. This explanation is expected to open students' mindsets regarding the urgency of mastering basic accounting as a provision in the world of work, especially in the fields of Islamic finance and banking.
Students are also introduced to the accounting cycle, starting from the transaction recording stage, debit and credit processes, to the preparation of accurate and accountable financial reports. This explanation aims to open students' mindsets to understand the importance of mastering basic accounting, which is the main foundation when entering the world of work, especially in the Islamic banking sector.
Students welcomed this activity positively, considering that Islamic banking in Indonesia is still relatively new compared to conventional banking which has been present since the Dutch colonial era. Islamic banks began to develop in Indonesia in 2004, along with increasing public awareness of the importance of a financial system that is free of interest (riba) and in line with Islamic principles.

This activity ended with a question and answer session from students on the material that had been presented, and students also received vouchers for questions submitted to the speakers. With the implementation of this activity, it is hoped that it can be an initial step in broadening students' horizons as well as strengthening relations between academics and industry players, especially Islamic banking (HA/OR).
