THE INFLUENCE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ON THE QUALITY OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION SERVICES

Abstract

Effective and transparent financial management is a key factor in supporting the quality of educational services, especially amid the budget management challenges faced by many educational institutions in Indonesia. This study was conducted using a literature review method, analyzing various sources such as books, scientific journals, and research reports to examine the relationship between financial management and the quality of educational services. The findings indicate that good financial management enables educational institutions to meet operational needs, improve facilities and infrastructure, and support innovative programs that positively impact student satisfaction. Empirical studies even recorded that financial management contributed 44.9% to education quality in one case. However, challenges such as low human resource capacity and lack of transparency remain obstacles. Therefore, strengthening the capacity of managers, oversight systems, and financial digitalization are crucial. These findings provide a strong foundation for developing financial management strategies as an integral part of sustainable education quality improvement.
