South Tangerang, October 17, 2026 – The Accounting Student Association (HMPS) of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta held the "Accounting War 2026" competition on Saturday (October 17). This event is part of the *Gebyar Lomba Akuntansi* (GALAKSI)—a flagship program of the Accounting Student Association designed to showcase the academic potential and skills of students in the field of accounting.

The semifinal and final rounds were held in person at the new Faculty of Economics and Business building at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Through this competition, participants were challenged to demonstrate their understanding, precision, and ability to solve accounting problems in a competitive environment.
The event began with participant registration, followed by an opening ceremony, a recitation of the Quran, and the singing of the national anthem, "Indonesia Raya," along with the UIN Jakarta hymn. The proceedings continued with remarks from the Chair of the GALAKSI 2026 organizing committee, Muhammad Rafiul Alam, and the Vice-Chair of the Accounting Student Association, Nahwa Hilmah Fauziah. This was followed by an address from the Head of the Accounting Study Program, Fitri Damayanti, S.E., M.Si.

In her remarks, Fitri Damayanti, S.E., M.Si., expressed her appreciation for the enthusiasm shown by high school and vocational school (SMA/SMK) students in participating in the "Accounting War" as part of the GALAKSI 2026 series. She also congratulated the teams that advanced to the semifinal round and offered words of encouragement to all participants.
Moving into the main agenda, the participants competed in the semifinal round, vying for a spot in the final round. The competition featured six teams from various schools: Triple T and Leviticus from SMK Pelita IV; Tim 1 and Bismillah Sukses Berkah from SMKN 18 Jakarta; Powerlead from SMKN 20 Jakarta; and Vanguard Trionity from SMKN 41 Jakarta.
The competition was evaluated by two accounting lecturers from the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta—Dr. Yessi Fitri, S.E., M.Si.Ak., and Haryati, S.E., M.Si.—who served as the jury, assessing the participants based on their performance throughout the event. Following the announcement of the semifinal results, there was a break, during which the finalists prepared for the final round.

In the final round, the finalists were tasked with completing an accounting cycle problem, covering everything from recording and processing transactions to preparing financial statements. Once the task was completed, each team presented their work to the jury. This stage was a crucial part of the competition, as it required participants not only to understand accounting theory but also to apply accounting cycle concepts and present their findings clearly and systematically. After the entire evaluation process concluded, the committee announced the final results.
The teams that emerged as winners of Accounting War 2026 were Vanguard Trionity, Powerlead, and Leviticus. This achievement serves as recognition of the effort and competence demonstrated by the participants throughout the competition. The event concluded with the announcement of the winners and an official closing ceremony.
The Accounting Student Association (HMPS Akuntansi) of FEB UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta hopes that the Accounting War—held as part of GALAKSI 2026—will provide a platform for students to develop their academic skills, foster a spirit of healthy competition, and broaden their understanding of the field of accounting.
