Dhyah Setyorini, M.Sc., Ak., a lecturer in the Department of Accounting Education at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Yogyakarta State University (FEB UNY), has successfully earned her doctoral degree. She defended her dissertation titled "Determinants of the Effectiveness of SPI (Internal Supervisory Unit): Empirical Study in Universities in Indonesia." The defense was conducted before a board of examiners from Sebelas Maret University, earning her a Doctorate in Economics with a specialization in Accounting.
The examination team included Prof. Drs. Djoko Suhardjanto, M.Com. (Hons), Ph.D., Ak.; Dr. Setianingtyas Honggowati, M.M., Ak.; Dr. Wahju Widarjo, M.Sc., Ak.; and Prof. Dr. Abdul Halim, M.B.A., Ak., CA. Her dissertation was guided by a Promoter Commission comprising Prof. Dr. Rahmawati, M.Sc., Ak., CA as the Promoter, and Dr. Sri Hartoko, M.B.A., Ak., CA., along with Dr. Payamta, M.Sc., Ak., CPA as Co-Promoters.
Dhyah's research offers empirical insights into the factors influencing the effectiveness of SPI across state universities in Indonesia. Using data from 76 state universities and 174 respondents, she employed a simple random sampling technique. The data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling with a partial least squares (PLS) approach. Her findings reveal that management support and SPI's involvement in risk management have a significant positive impact on SPI effectiveness, whereas transformational leadership does not show a significant positive effect.
These results shed light on key factors impacting SPI effectiveness within Indonesian state universities. Dhyah suggests that future research could benefit from incorporating in-depth interviews with respondents for a more comprehensive understanding and considering mixed-method approaches. She also emphasizes the importance of triangulating SPI performance data from the SPI’s perspective to provide a well-rounded view of SPI effectiveness. (fdhl)
