About Me

Assalamu’alaikum wr wb

Alhamdulillah, despite facing numerous constraints, I have managed to publish my personal web log. Greatest gratitude is only for Allah for giving me the chance, strength and guidance to become a soul mate of my hubby, a Mommy of two cute, smart and sholih boys as well as a mentor of many sisters and brothers who cares about any kind related to Islamic Economic/Accounting. And may His blessings, peace and favors descend in perpetuity on our beloved Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H, who is mercy for all the worlds.

I was born in a small village, not far from Samas beach. Growing up in the farmer family (yang pasti poor soale mana ada petani disini yang bisa kaya), it was hard to find that I could not get education easily. Alhamdulillah, because of the “Invisible Hand” through the sacrificing of my big brother (and of course my beloved husband) I could be like others. Now, I have two smart and cute little boys. My marriage on Sept 3, 2002 with Basuki Kurniawan was one of the miracles in my life. It also happened because of the intervention of the “Invisible Hand”. It was wonderful because I knew I love him before I met him.

Just to let you know, I am an alumnus of SMU 1 Bantul Yogya (1993-1996), Faculty of Economics in Accounting Gadjah Mada University (1996-2000) and Master of Science in Accounting International Islamic University Malaysia (2003-2005).

My Objectives

Good teaching is not only delivering knowledge but also delivering the moral or the hikmah behind the knowledge. Besides being a good wife and a good mom as my goal, I want to be a good teacher that can deliver good teaching.

My Summary

Since January 2001, I have been working as a lecturer at Ahmad Dahlan University, a private university that is currently classified as one of the 50 promising universities in Indonesia by the Directorate of Higher Education of Indonesia. As a lecturer, I’ve got three major responsibilities.

My first responsibility is delivering lectures on accounting especially on Introduction to Accounting, Islamic Accounting, Auditing, Public Sector Accounting, Islamic Financial Institution and Research Method. My second responsibility is conducting research in the accounting area. I join in the Islamic accounting research group and auditing research group. I managed to get some research grants from the Directorate of Higher Education of Indonesia, Ahmad Dahlan University, and other institutions. One of my research report has been published in the International Journal of Islamic Economic, and another one is scheduled to be published in 2011 on the International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern and Islamic Finance and Management. Lastly, as a lecturer, I have a responsibility for giving service to the society. I had done some social activities such as establishing Alifa Media which concern in providing service on web development and software development for Small and Medium Enterprises as well as in promoting and developing the Islamic Economic Library. The other social activities I’ve done were formulating an internal control system for school management in Solo and Yogyakarta, giving lectures to society on entrepreneurship, helping micro and small business unit in preparing financial statement and other social activities relevant to my core competencies.

Beside delivering lectures at Ahmad Dahlan University, currently I’m also giving lecture at the International Program for Islamic Economic and Finance, Department of Economics, University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. This program is an undergraduate degree in Islamic Economic and Finance where English is used as the medium of instruction. In addition, I‘ve been also appointed as a part time lecturer at the Graduate School of Gadjah Mada University in January 2009. I taught Islamic Accounting for postgraduate students, who were taking Master in Islamic Economic.

At present, I am also appointed as a Head Department of the Accounting Department of Ahmad Dahlan University. My key duties are managing the accounting department in order to create good academic atmosphere as well as to organize academic activities on the area of accounting.

Throughout my academic carrier in Faculty of Economic Gadjah Mada University, I was appointed as a lecturer assistant as well as a research assistant. The former occupation required me to help a lecturer in preparing the lecture materials and sometimes I also came into the class in order to deliver the lecture when the lecturer could not attend. As a research assistant, I was involved in the research activities conducted by some lecturer as an enumerator.

My Interests

My interests are not far from all matters related to any kind to become a good wife, a good Mummy and a good mentor. Wherever and whenever I am, I will pay my attention for anything that can upgrade my knowledge to develop my skill on being good wife and good Mom.

Related to my secondary profession, as a mentor, my research interests specifically focus on Islamic Economic and Finance, Accounting for Islamic Financial Institutions, Accounting for Small and Medium Businesses, Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility. To accommodate my interest on Islamic Economic and Finance as well as on Accounting for IFI’s, currently I and off course my husband are developing an Islamic Economic Library. We have also produced an Islamic Economic CD. Anyone who has similar interest is kindly invited to join with us.
