Master’s Program in Islamic Economics (MES) Conducts Internal Quality Audit (IQA) on Education Standards and Additional Standards

On Monday, April 14, 2025, the Internal Quality Audit (IQA) for the Master’s Program in Islamic Economics (MES) was conducted at the meeting room of the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business (FEBI), UIN Sunan Kalijaga. The audit focused on Education Standards and Additional Standards for master’s degree programs under the accreditation framework of LAMEMBA.

The audit was led by Asih Widi Wisudawati, Ph.D. (Lead Auditor), with Nitra Galih Imansari, M.Sos., as a member of the audit team. During the audit process, the MES Program reviewed compliance with 11 quality standards. The session was attended by the Head of the Master’s Program in Islamic Economics, Muhammad Ghafur Wibowo, S.E., M.Sc., as well as members of the FEBI leadership.

All parties participated actively and attentively throughout the audit process, providing clarifications where necessary. Several instances were identified in which supporting evidence had been incorrectly recorded due to temporary technical issues in the Academic Information System (SIA) during data input by the auditee.

One of the key discussion points during the audit concerned alumni data management, which was identified as an area requiring further improvement. The tracer study activities coordinated by CENDI were recommended to be refined in order to meet the standards required by the Quality Assurance Institute (LPM) of UIN Sunan Kalijaga. In addition, within the learning process, attention was directed toward the availability of standardized Outcome-Based Education (OBE) course syllabi (RPS) at the university level.

Of the eleven standards reviewed, the Lead Auditor did not issue substantive findings, aside from notes related to technical system errors. At the conclusion of the meeting, all parties agreed to formally sign the results of the Internal Quality Audit of UIN Sunan Kalijaga. The activity was closed with a group photo session and informal gathering.

It is expected that the implementation of this Internal Quality Audit will serve as a constructive learning experience for both the auditee and the audit team, contributing to continuous quality improvement within the Master’s Program in Islamic Economics.
