Tracer Study of Graduates

Press Release: "ICMA: FGD Kurikulum S1 Berbasis Outcome-Based Education"

The Undergraduate Accounting Study Program of UPN "Veteran" Yogyakarta considers curriculum review to be an essential component of its continuous efforts to enhance the quality of education. This review is conducted to evaluate the alignment of Graduate Learning Outcomes (GLOs), course structure, learning content, and assessment methods and strategies with the latest developments in the accounting field and the needs of graduate stakeholders. Furthermore, the curriculum review serves as an opportunity to strengthen the implementation of the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach, ensuring that the learning process is genuinely focused on achieving the predetermined graduate competencies.
To obtain broader perspectives and ensure that the curriculum remains relevant to professional needs, the Undergraduate Accounting Study Program organized a Curriculum Review activity in collaboration with the Indonesian Association of Young Accounting Scholars (ICMA). This collaboration is expected to serve as a platform for exchanging ideas and experiences between academics and the community of young accounting scholars, particularly in identifying the future competencies required of accounting graduates. The involvement of ICMA is also expected to provide critical insights regarding developments in accounting knowledge, professional challenges, interdisciplinary competency requirements, and opportunities for advancing accounting education in response to changes in the business and technological environment.
The event was held on Friday, October 30, 2026. It was attended by the Chairman of ICMA, Rafles Ginting, S.E., M.Ak., several ICMA members, the Vice Dean for Planning, Finance, and General Affairs, the Vice Dean for Student Affairs, Alumni, and Cooperation, the management and curriculum development team of the Accounting Study Program, and Accounting faculty members. The event demonstrated the department’s commitment to involving both faculty leadership and academic staff in curriculum discussions and development.
The discussion covered five key areas: strengthening the identity and academic excellence of the study program based on the institution’s distinctive focus on development and natural resources; aligning the curriculum with labor market needs; adapting to strategic issues such as climate change, sustainability, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation; enhancing students’ practical and professional competencies; and increasing research and scientific publication capacity. Through this activity, the program expects to obtain a wide range of constructive inputs and recommendations to serve as the foundation for developing a more adaptive, competitive, and future-oriented curriculum. Ultimately, this will enable the program to produce accounting graduates who are competent, innovative, ethical, and academically distinguished, while remaining aligned with the vision and unique characteristics of UPN "Veteran" Yogyakarta.

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 – The Accounting Department of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Yogyakarta, organized a Zero Waste in Action awareness program under the theme “From Waste Management to Sustainability.” The event was held from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (WIB) in Room AKT I-1 of the Accounting Building at UPN Veteran Yogyakarta. It was attended by department administrators, faculty members, students, and cleaning staff who provided technical support throughout the event.
The program featured Stevanus Andreas Gozali, a B2B Partnership & Business Development Professional from Rekosistem, as the keynote speaker.

The Head of the Accounting Department, Dr. Kusharyanti, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA, delivered the opening remarks, expressing the hope that the program would provide meaningful education and encourage behavioral changes among members of the department community regarding environmental issues, particularly in waste segregation, plastic waste reduction, the use of reusable items, and waste management within the campus environment.
During the session, Stevanus Andreas Gozali introduced Rekosistem as a comprehensive waste management service provider that handles waste from upstream to downstream processes.

Press Release: "Faculty of Economics and Business at UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta and Ming Chi University of Technology, Taiwan, Strengthen Collaboration for Impactful and Sustainable Community Empowerment"

Yogyakarta, October 5, 2026 – The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Yogyakarta welcomed an academic delegation from Ming Chi University of Technology (MCUT), Taiwan. The delegation, comprising two faculty members and 17 students, participated in a workshop on Monday, October 5, 2026, to exchange best practices in community engagement between UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta and MCUT. The workshop was attended by faculty members and students from six study programs within FEB and explored how higher education institutions can deliver meaningful and sustainable impacts through community empowerment initiatives.
During the workshop, Prof. Jau-Rong (Kelly) Chen, Head of University Social Responsibility at MCUT and Director of the International Master of Business Administration (IMBA) program, delivered a presentation entitled “From Research to Impact: Building Sustainable Academic Collaboration between Taiwan and Indonesia.” She introduced the Sanxia Living Lab, a sustainable collaborative platform connecting faculty members, students, and local partners. The initiative has reached more than 4,351 participants through 120 activities, including 986 international participants and 1,041 community members. This approach is implemented through the PLACE learning model, which stands for Place-based Learning, Local Cultural Immersion, Action-oriented Collaboration, Cross-cultural Communication, and Experiential Reflection. The model connects research, classroom learning, and community-based practice in a continuous improvement cycle informed by feedback from local partners.
Representing UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta, Dr. Avido Yuliestyan presented a community engagement management model that integrates faculty community service grants with the university's student community service program, known as Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN). Faculty grants provide equipment and technical expertise, while multidisciplinary KKN teams contribute time, on-site engagement, and daily assistance. For example, in Wonokromo Village, Wonosobo, an organic waste shredding machine was integrated with composting activities and black soldier fly (BSF) maggot cultivation. The initiative was supported by standard operating procedures (SOPs), training, and the involvement of local operators to ensure that the system would remain operational after the students returned to campus.

The program continued with a collaborative community engagement initiative in Wukirsari Village, Imogiri, Bantul, on October 8, 2026. The activity was organized by the international team of the Department of Management and involved the MCUT delegation and students from three study programs within FEB.
Wukirsari is one of the villages supported by the Faculty of Economics and Business. During the second semester of the 2025/2026 academic year, the undergraduate Management Study Program also implemented the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) Village Development Program in the village. Ten students participated in the program, spending one semester learning and engaging directly with the local community. Through this initiative, students could earn academic credits equivalent to 12–20 semester credit units (SKS).
According to the Head of the Department of Management, Dr. Titik Kusmantini, S.E., M.Si., the Village Development Program has generated several valuable outcomes for local partners. These include assistance with digital marketing, the development of an application-based database, and a draft intellectual property publication documenting the batik motifs in the collection of the Giriloyo Hand-Drawn Batik Association.
Safina, Head of the Village Development Program, explained that the database of batik motifs and their philosophical meanings was developed to educate both domestic and international tourists. By simply scanning the barcode attached to each piece of fabric in the association's showroom, visitors can access information about the artisan who created it, its price, production time, and the name and philosophy behind the batik motif.
Asri Sekar Firdaus, S.M., M.Sc., Head of the Undergraduate Management Study Program, added that partner villages provide students with opportunities to identify local potential and challenges while developing solutions in collaboration with community partners.
On the same occasion, Dr. Titik Kusmantini, S.E., M.Si., representing the community engagement team, presented the initiative entitled “Empowering Batik SMEs through Lean Six Sigma at the Giriloyo Hand-Drawn Batik Association, Wukirsari, Bantul.” As the principal investigator of the 2026 Internal Community Service Grant, she handed over personal protective equipment (PPE), including rubber boots, rubber gloves, and rubber aprons, for artisans to use during the pelorodan process, in which wax is removed from dyed batik fabric.
The equipment is intended to improve artisans' occupational safety while supporting a redesigned working environment that is more ergonomic, safer, and conducive to faster production workflows. Another component of the community engagement initiative involved educating artisans on process flow diagrams and the various stages of batik production. The training helps them identify bottlenecks and activities that do not add value, as well as collaboratively develop solutions and follow-up measures to mitigate production-related challenges.
The activities reinforced a central message shared by both speakers: meaningful community empowerment emerges from sustained collaboration, is rooted in local needs, and involves community partners from the outset.
During their visit to Yogyakarta from October 3 to 10, 2026, the MCUT delegation participated in a series of collaborative activities. Prof. Januar Eko Prasetio, S.E., M.Si., Akt., expressed his hope that the two institutions would pursue further collaboration in the future. Potential initiatives include comparative case studies on local development, joint student projects involving participants from both universities, and faculty exchanges to advance collaborative research and teaching.

Press Release: "International Webinar of the Accounting Department FEB UPNVY Explores Public Sector Governance for Inclusive and Impactful Development"

As part of the 32nd Anniversary (4 Windu) series of events of the Accounting Department, Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Yogyakarta (UPNVY), an International Webinar entitled “Strengthening Public Sector Governance for Inclusive & Impactful Development: Public Governancy Contextualization in Indonesia” was held on Friday, September 12, 2025. The event featured Vogy Gautama Buanaputera, Ph.D, AFHEA (Cardiff University, UK, and Chairman of the Indonesian Public Sector National Corporate Governance Committee) as the keynote speaker, with Ida Ayu Purnama, S.E., M.Sc. (Accounting Lecturer at UPNVY) serving as moderator.
The event was conducted in a hybrid format, with onsite participation at the FEB UPNVY campus and online attendance. Around 300 participants joined the webinar, both offline and online, representing universities across Indonesia, from Aceh to Papua. The enthusiasm of participants was reflected in the active discussions and strong interest in public sector governance issues.
In his presentation, Dr. Vogy emphasized the importance of understanding paradigm shifts in theories applied to public sector entities. He highlighted the common failure of directly adopting business theories into the public sector, which often misaligns with the unique characteristics of government institutions. Furthermore, the speaker elaborated on four key pillars of public sector governancy, which serve as a critical foundation for creating inclusive, adaptive, and impactful public sector governance.
This event not only enriched academic insights but also opened up strategic discussions on public sector governance practices in Indonesia. With a spirit of collaboration, the webinar is expected to serve as a tangible contribution of the Accounting Department FEB UPNVY in supporting the realization of transparent, accountable, and impactful governance for society.
The 32nd Anniversary (4 Windu) celebration of the Accounting Department FEB UPNVY carries the overarching theme #BerkolaborasiBerprestasi (“Collaborating for Excellence”), as a manifestation of its commitment to continuously contributing to the advancement of knowledge and accounting practices in Indonesia.
