Purpose: This research problem revolves around the prevailing focus in zakat accounting studies, primarily on techniques and calculations, while neglecting the importance of local cultural values and religiosity. This study aims to reveal zakat accounting practices based on local cultural values and religiosity. Methodology/approach: The research employs a qualitative approach and utilizes two data collection methods, interviews and observations, involving three informants. Results: The findings reveal various zakat accounting practices, including the adjustment of zakat rates based on government decisions; straightforward zakat accounting records; the distribution of zakat to the poor, needy, converts, and zakat administrators; and the accountability of zakat funds communicated via mosque loudspeakers. These practices are deeply intertwined with local cultural values, emphasizing honesty and trustworthiness. Limitations: The limitations of this research are that the research informants have yet to present information from religious leaders regarding zakat accounting practices. Contribution: The theoretical implication lies in the potential integration of religious values, such as trustworthiness and honesty, into zakat accounting, facilitating the development of guidelines and standards that resonate with spiritual and cultural values and align organizations with their religious principles. Practically, this may create opportunities for developing zakat-based financial instruments tailored to specific cultural and spiritual contexts.

Purpose: Purpose: This study aims to construct labulo accounting practices based on local cultural values. Methodology/Approach: This study employs the Islamic framework from an Islamic ethno-methodology perspective. It uses a qualitative methodology that incorporates two data-gathering methods: structured interviews and passive participant observation. The participants in this study were chosen using purposive sampling techniques. The data analysis process consisted of five phases: amal, ilmu, iman, informasi wahyu, and ihsan. Results/Findings: The results indicate three ways in which Ilabulo traders practice accounting: profit accounting, loss accounting, and simple memory-based recording. These accounting practices are characterized by trustworthiness (amanah) and patience (kesabaran). Trustworthiness is reflected through sellers' actions, using their trading profits to support their families’ needs and children's education. The elders often advise the value of family responsibility through the expression (lumadu) "delo sipati lo malu'o tiloliyo kulu-kulu wala'iyo modudu'o," which means a sense of family responsibility. Patience is reflected in the actions of Ilabulo sellers when they experience losses, such as giving away their goods free to residents and continuing to trade despite facing losses. The elderly often advise on the value of patience through the expression (lumadu) "mopo'o tanggalo duhelo," which means being patient. Limitations: The limitation of this study lies in the informants, as it does not include information from Ilabulo customers. Contribution: This research contributes to introducing the concept of accounting practices by Ilabulo sellers based on local cultural values.
