Sikoola Finance · Budget and realization

A report compiled at year end is always a year late.

Sikoola Finance is finance software for universities. Income and spending enter the journal the moment they happen, balances and charts move with them, and the budget realization report is ready whenever it is asked for: by leaders, the governing foundation, auditors, or assessors.

A campus that knows its financial position today can decide today.

What the regulation asks

Financing is a quality standard. Its figures must be ready anytime.

Finance is not outside accreditation. The financing standard is assessed with all the others.

  1. Article 51(3)

    Universities must have adequate funding sources in line with the national higher education standards.

    In practice, adequate funding has to be proven with numbers, not statements.

    Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025, Article 51(3)
  2. Article 51(5)

    Financial management follows the principles of good governance under the applicable laws.

    In practice, every transaction needs to be recorded, backed by a receipt, and open to inspection at any time.

    Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025, Article 51(5)
  3. BAN-PT accreditation instrument

    The institutional accreditation instrument assesses, among other things, a five-year financial strategic plan and an external financial audit, reported through SAPTO.

    In practice, financial data kept tidy all year makes life easier for auditors and assessors alike.

If it waits

Figures tidied up just before a site visit invite suspicion.

University finances are rarely wrong. More often, the figures only get tidied up when someone asks for them.

  1. This month

    Transactions are logged in several Excel files, by different people, in different formats.

  2. End of the year

    The realisation report is built from scratch, and chasing a small discrepancy can take days.

  3. At the site visit

    The assessor asks for budget realisation by unit. The answer can only be sent next week.

Quick guide

How to prepare a university's budget realisation report

A budget realization report compares the plan with what actually happened. These five steps keep it ready at any time.

  1. 01

    Budget by line item

    Set income and spending budgets for each line in the fiscal year.

  2. 02

    Record transactions as they happen

    Every income and expense is recorded the same day, with its receipt number and responsible unit.

  3. 03

    Group them by type

    Separate income types such as tuition (SPP or UKT), research grants, and partnerships from spending types such as salaries, scholarships, research spending, and capital spending.

  4. 04

    Compare actuals with the budget

    Calculate the realization percentage of each line regularly, not only at year end, so deviations show up early.

  5. 05

    Report, then plan the next year

    Present the realization report to leaders, the governing foundation, and auditors, then use it as the basis for next year's budget.

In Sikoola Finance, steps 2 to 4 happen at once: every recorded transaction instantly updates the balance, charts, and realization percentages.

What's inside

Every rupiah recorded the moment it moves.

  • Real-time journal Income and spending enter the journal as they are recorded, with receipt numbers and units.
  • Budgets per fiscal year Budgets are set per line and per fiscal year, then compared automatically with actuals.
  • Income and spending types Every transaction is grouped by type, so the campus's financial structure reads at a glance.
  • Running balance The balance updates with every transaction. No need to wait for closing to know where you stand.
  • Budget realization charts Each line's realization percentage appears in charts that move with the journal.
  • Data on the campus server All financial data and its backups are stored on the campus's own server or cloud.

For the people

The rector, the treasurer and the auditor see the same figures.

  • Leaders and the governing foundation

    They see the campus's financial position today, not from last month's report, and decide with more confidence.

  • The finance office

    They record once, and the reports build themselves. Year end no longer means weeks of overtime.

  • Quality officers

    Evidence for the financing standard is ready when the self-evaluation and the site visit arrive.

FAQ

Questions about university finance

Another question?

What is Sikoola Finance?

Sikoola Finance is an application for preparing budgets, keeping a real-time finance journal, and tracking budget realization at universities. Every transaction instantly updates the balance and realization charts.

What is a budget realization report?

A budget realization report compares the planned budget with the income and spending that actually happened, per line and per fiscal year. Leaders, governing foundations, and auditors use it to judge financial management.

Does Sikoola Finance replace auditors?

No. Sikoola Finance tidies the records and reports, so auditors and the finance office work faster. The audit itself is still done by auditors.

Is the campus financial data safe?

Sikoola Finance is installed on the campus's own server or cloud, and the backups are kept by the campus too. Sikoola does not store campus financial data on our servers.

Can Sikoola Finance be used without the other Sikoola apps?

Yes. Sikoola Finance can start at any time, on its own or together with SPMI, CPL, LMS, SILASA, and TUNTAS.

Which finance app suits a private university?

Choose one that keeps budgets, transactions and realisation in one place, shows reports by unit at any time, and produces data that counts as evidence for the financing standard in accreditation. Sikoola Keuangan is built for that, and it is installed on the university's own servers, so financial data never leaves your institution.

Campus money is a trust. Record every rupiah the moment it moves.
