Purpose: This study aims to analyze the level of compliance in financial statement preparation, identify obstacles in the implementation of SAK ETAP, and conduct an evaluation to assess the quality of financial reporting. Design/Methodology/Approach: A qualitative method with a descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through interviews, documentation, and literature review. Primary data were obtained directly from informants, while secondary data came from relevant literature and the financial statements of PT. Restu Ibu Rama. The research focuses on evaluating the company’s compliance with SAK ETAP standards. Findings: The implementation of SAK ETAP in the preparation of PT.
