1 INTRODUCTION
The definition and accountability of waqf assets should be
different from conventional asset management accountability
for both profit and non-profit organizations. Because waqf
assets are oriented towards the welfare of the people.
Accountability of waqf assets is a form of responsibility for
management of waqf assets by Nazhir. Although the waqf
accounting theory framework is not yet established, the
general accounting principle for waqf can be called the Al-
Quran verse in the Al Maidah verse 1 as follows, namely:
you who believe, fill the contract [388]. It is permissible for you
cattle, except those that will be read to you. (that is so) by not
justifying hunting when you are doing the Hajj. Lo! Allah has
established laws according to His will.[388] Covenants
(covenants) include: servants' praised promises to God and
agreements made by humans in their fellowship.Accounting
for waqf is important because there is a contract
between Nazhir and wakif. Nazhir is responsible for waqf
assets entrusted by Wakif. In other words, accounting is a
means to release accountability Nazhir's. Because waqf
assets are intended for the public interest, so accountability
scope Nazhir's will be different from company managers,
where they must be responsible for various stakeholders such
as Waqif, waqf institutions, charity employees, waqf,
regulators, beneficiaries and the public in large numbers
(1)(1)(1)(1). Accountability is one of the management
processes in managing waqf assets, accountability plays a
significant role as a parameter of professionalism in handling
waqf. (Antonio, 2008, p. Viii) argue that professional
management of waqf has three basic philosophies, namely;
First, the management pattern must be in an integrated frame.
Second, put forward the principle of welfare Nazhir that
balance between the obligation to do and entitlements. Third,
the principle of transparency and
accountability.Accountability Nazhir's can be seen as Islamic
accountability developed by (2) which explains dual
accountability as follows: As Allah's caliph, humans are
accountable to Allah (God) for all entrusted resources, in
addition to fulfilling every contract made between humans.
This type of accountability is more appropriate for waqf since
the waqf deed is based on religious motivation and concerns
the public interest. Sharia enterprise theory regarding the
distribution of value-added wealth not only to parties with an
interest in the company, such as owners, creditors, investors,
employees, government, but there are other parties that are
not directly related to the company. This means that added
value is not only shared with parties related to the creation of
added value but parties that are not directly related (4).
Accountability for the management of productive waqf assets
is identical to the use of Islamic financial statements that use
the construction of Islamic accounting based on the concept of
zakat values. Zakat orientation means trying to achieve
optimum zakat realization. Zakat is a measure of material and
spiritual performance (ethics) rather than profit oriented
(5).Waqf assets is used for productive purposes will generate
income and the results can be used to improve welfare for
those who are entitled to receive. Thus a financial report
standard/format is needed for institutions developed with waqf
funds. This is needed as a responsibility for the use of funds
and the distribution of value-added from these activities. To
support this (Law, Republic of Indonesia No. 41 of 2004)
article 43 states that:Management and development of waqf
property by Nazhir as referred to in article 42 is carried out in
accordance with sharia principles
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
Different from the definitions and concepts of accountability of
entity theory (entity theory). Accountability according to this
theory is related to who the amount of rupiah called profit
depends on the theory of the entity adopted. The theory of
entities relates to determining who is most interested in the
benefits of economic activity in enjoying increased welfare.
Entity theory is also called the equity theory. Included in the
theory of equity is the theory of joint business entities
(enterprise theory),(business entity theory), investor theory
(investor theory), owner theory (proprietary/stockholder
