The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method with an inductive approach, using the SECI theory by Nonaka and Takeuchi and the SWOT analysis theory by Albert Humphrey. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that at the socialization stage, the lack of two-way communication, minimal incentives for sharing knowledge, and low interest in training are the main obstacles. At the externalization stage, weaknesses in document management and organizational discussions hinder the transformation of tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. The combination stage is disrupted due to the ineffectiveness of the database system, which has an impact on decision making and career development. Meanwhile, at the internalization stage, limited Information Technology infrastructure, weak internet networks, and lack of mass media utilization slow down organizational learning. These findings emphasize the need to strengthen the system, knowledge sharing culture, and adequate technology and communication support to encourage effective knowledge management at the DKPP RI. Strategies that can be carried out by overcoming weaknesses include limited human resources, low budget, and lack of supporting facilities and infrastructure. Strategic opportunities lie in increasing human resource capacity, strengthening infrastructure, increasing budgets, and preparing internal regulations related to knowledge management. Meanwhile, the main challenges include disparities in employee education levels and the lack of ongoing evaluation and policies. By utilizing existing strengths and opportunities and anticipating weaknesses and threats, DKPP RI can build a more structured, sustainable knowledge management system that supports improving institutional performance.</p> 2025-07-01T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) https://seaninstitute.org/infor/index.php/infokum/article/view/2931 The Effect of Financial Management Comprehension, Financial Accounting System, and Internal Supervision on Financial Report Performance Province Government of North Sumatra 2025-07-01T16:35:30+07:00 Rizty Fanny Novriyanti riztyfanny11@gmail.com Renny Maisyarah 0000@gmail.com Nina Andriany Nasution 0000@gmail.com <p>The increasing demands of society for good governance have encouraged the central government and local governments to implement public accountability. In order to realize good governance, local governments must continue to make efforts to improve transparency and accountability in regional financial management. This study aims to determine whetherunderstanding of financial management, financial accounting systems and internal supervisors have a simultaneous effect on the financial statements of the North Sumatra Provincial Government. The type of research used is by using a quantitative method assisted by SPSS 23. The population and sample in this study were 60 Civil Servants in the North Sumatra Provincial Government and questionnaires were distributed according to the number of samples that had been determined. This study found that there was a positive and significant relationship between Understanding of Financial Management and Financial Report Performance, the Financial Accounting System had a positive and statistically significant effect on Financial Report Performance, Internal Supervision had a negative and statistically significant relationship on Financial Report Performance that excessive or inefficient internal supervision also has the potential to inhibit flexibility and innovation, which in turn can affect financial performance.</p> 2025-07-01T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) https://seaninstitute.org/infor/index.php/infokum/article/view/2932 The Impact of E-Procurement Implementation, Procurement Officer Competency, And Internal Supervision on Execution of Goods and Services Procurement: a Case Study of the Provincial Government of North Sumatra 2025-07-01T16:38:10+07:00 Winda Ocviana Windaocviana10@gmail.com Rahima Br Purba 0000@gmail.com Heriyati Chrisna 0000@gmail.com <p>This study aims to analyze the effect of E-Procurement Implementation, Procurement Officer Competence, and Internal Supervision on the Implementation of Procurement of Goods and Services in the North Sumatra Provincial Government. Using a quantitative approach with regression analysis, the study found that E-Procurement has a positive and statistically significant effect on increasing the effectiveness of procurement implementation, in line with the principles of good governance. Procurement Officer Competence shows a positive direction of influence on procurement implementation, although it is not statistically significant in this model. Interestingly, Internal Supervision shows a significant negative correlation with the effectiveness of procurement implementation, indicating that excessive supervision intensity has the potential to hinder the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement process. This finding contradicts conventional expectations and suggests the need for a critical evaluation of the implementation of the supervision mechanism. The implications of this study highlight the importance of optimizing the E-Procurement system and reviewing the effectiveness of the internal supervision mechanism in the context of implementing procurement of goods and services in the North Sumatra Provincial Government.</p> 2025-07-01T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c)
