I. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background

The quality of graduates of Accounting Indonesia is now expected to be able to follow the activities of the business, particularly in the era of MEA already started at the end of 2015. The accounting profession is one profession that participated in the MEA markets. For the accounting profession in Indonesia should be able to improve the competence and follow the competition. The main target of Accounting degree to be able to competence and do not add to the number of unemployed. Assessing the macro side of unemployment caused by (1) education policy is not oriented on market requirements, (2) economic policy, especially investments that are not able to provide employment in accordance with the total labor force, and (3) economic development policies tend to be oriented to the capital intensive rather than on labor-intensive, while the study of micro perspective unemployed bachelor could be caused by (1) low quality of skills (skills), Hardskill and potential of academic graduates or known as hard Skill, and (2) factors of character and mental toughness to work hard is one form of Soft skilll. While from the micro level, the two main factors the poor quality of college graduates based on the findings of the study Jaya Jakaria (2009) was the first, the perception gap between managers of universities with the managers of industry, and secondly, the college curriculum has not been optimally designed to produce graduates who are quite , skilled and able to perform the work in a comprehensive manner. To overcome this problem, according to Fasli Jalal (2009) states that universities should improve the quality, relevance and productivity to produce quality graduates who are relevant to the needs of society and have the capability development of creativity, entrepreneurship and soft skills. Some research result, Kemenade Garre (2000), Dawn (2007) and Jaya Jakaria (2009) also recommended the importance of higher education to improve the quality of graduates are oriented on market requirements.

One way that is done by the Government through the Directorate General of Higher Education, Department of Education and Culture to minimize these circumstances is to develop Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF also known as KKNI) in 2011 suggested that KKNI is the framework level competence and qualifications to reconcile, equalize, and integrate the field of education and the field of vocational training and work experience in order to award the recognition of job competence in accordance with the structure. Specialized in accounting some universities have been cooperating with the Indonesian Institute of Accountants of Education Compartment (IAI-KAPD) has conducted seminars, workshops, a symposium and research and surveys to study further about Hardskill and Soft skilll accountants Indonesia's global competitiveness, so that the curriculum is designed to equip graduates to become a Bachelor.

For example, Accounting Department, Faculty of Economics and Business University of Brawijaya since 2003 had been looking for an undergraduate accounting skilll Soft format, and then the Accounting Department of Economics Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya establish several partnerships with external parties both government and industry, professional associations and educational cooperation with Adelaide University in Australia. In department of Acoounting of Sebelas Maret University create an institution Accounting Development Program was called PPA. Even more focused Accounting Department of STIE Perbanas Surabaya conducted a survey to explore hardskill graduates as the basis for improving the curriculum in their

Department of Accounting and the results hardskill mapped within 6 (six) hardskill which includes, expertise knowledge and understanding (knowledge and understanding skills), skills intellectual (intellectual skills), skills practitioners (practical skills), managerial expertise and Soft skilll (managerial and Soft skilll), English proficiency, as well as information technology awareness. Seeing the conditions that exist today in the Accounting Department Unimed, the activities of identification study IQF graduate majoring in accounting economics faculty Unimed based on user needs graduates / stakeholders relevant to be implemented, so that the activities of the study is expected to produce format graduate profile that can provide objective insight to dig graduates as a basic skill improvement and curriculum improvement in order to support the pilot program that integrates IQF learning Revolution and Soft skilll in the learning process at the Faculty of Economics, especially Accounting Department . This study also will be the stage for the growth and development of professionalism of graduates appropriate IQF.

1.2. Research Question

Based on the previous background, this research state a question :

“ Do Hardskill and soft skill influenced to IQF of Bachelor of Accounting ? “

II. LITERATUR REVIEW

2.1. Indonesian Qualification Framework

The scope of the IQF quality and identity of the Indonesian nation associated with national education and training system that is owned by Indonesia. IQF consists of nine levels of qualification, starting from the primary level up to S3. Qualification S1 / D4 at the level of qualification of 6 (six). Descriptors qualified human resources level 6 (six) on IQF consists of four paragraphs. The first paragraph is able to utilize science and technology in the field of expertise and is able to adapt to the situation faced in solving the problem. he second paragraph reads mastering theoretical concept of this area of knowledge in general and the theoretical concept of a special section in these knowledge areas in depth, as well as to formulate the completion of procedural issues, the third paragraph describe to be able to make strategic decisions based on analysis of information and data, also provides guidance in selecting various alternative solutions, as well as the fourth paragraph that is responsible for its own work and can be held accountable for the achievement of work of the organization.

all the paragraphs concerning the description of qualifying human resources level six on IQF, two paragraphs focus on the ability in problem solving Qualifications Framework Indonesia, hereinafter called IQF, is the framework penjenjangan achievement of learning (Learning outcomes) that can be equated, superficial areas of formal education, non-formal, informal, or work experience in order to award the work in accordance with the recognition of the competence structure of jobs in various sectors.

2.2. Definition of Hardskill

Hardskill is power (authority) to determine / decide a case (Poerwadarminta, 1993). Understanding more Hardskill is "adequate skills to perform a task" or as "having the skills and competence that are not required. "Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary (1983) in Sri Lastanti (2005: 88) defines hardskill is the skill of

an expert. American Accounting Association's Financial Accounting Committee (2000) in Christiawan (2002) states that "Audit quality is determined by two things: hard skills (skills) and independence. While Trotter (2006) defines that a competent accountant is a person with skills do the job easy, fast, intuitive and very rarely or never make mistakes. Lee and Stone (2005), defines hardskill as considerable expertise which can explicitly be used to conduct audits objectively. As for Bedard (2006) in Sri Lastanti (2005: 88) defines a skill or hardskill as someone who has the knowledge and procedural skills demonstrated in extensive audit experience.

Auditing Standard on common standards first (SA section 210 in SPAP 2001) mentions that the audit should be carried out by one or more persons who have the skills and technical training are quite as auditor, while the general standard of the third (SA section 230 in SPAP, 2001) mentions that in audit and the preparation of its report, the auditor shall use the skills professionalism carefully and thoroughly (due professional care).

Multicollinearity test results can be seen from the value of tolerance and variance inflationfactor (VIF). According Ghozali (2001) if VIF is less than 10 or the value of tolerance is more than 0.1, then there is no multicollinearity between independent variables studied. This table shows none of the independent variables that have a VIF value of less than 10 and the value of tolerance more than 0.1 so it is concluded that there is no multicollinearity between independent variables in this regression model. As table 7 below :

Then the derivative calculation results also raise the value of regression equation as follows:

F = 56,16 Sig : 0,035

R = 0,768

R square = 0,722 Adj. R Square = 0,199

Based on the calculation results shown in table 11, it can be made a model of multiple linear regression equation is:

Y1 = 0.319 + 0,122X1 0,537X2 + e +...(2)

Regression coefficients X1 and X2, everything is positive, which means that all variables are positive effect to IQF, Rated R Square research is 0722, meaning 72.2% of the variation can be explained on the IQF dus independent variable Hardskill and soft skills, while the rest is explained by other causes outside the model.

Value of F test results showed 56.16 with a p-value of 0.035 on the dependent variables, this means that the regression model can be used to predict the quality of graduates with a decisive factor Hardskill , Soft Skill. Based on the regression test results in table 8, it can test the hypothesis can be summarized in Table 9 below:

The hypothesis states that Hardskill, Soft Skill influenced to IQF thus acceptable hypothesis, so this variable must be an important concern for college executive in analyzing educational program development plan. Two Hypothesis Testing Results by t-test for two independent samples (indepnendent t t-test) results show the same variance both with probability 3,225 0,074 so there is no difference in perception between the two groups about the quality of graduates

V. CONCLUSION DAN RECOMENDATION

Based on the analysis above it can be concluded accepted hypothesis means that both variables indpenden ie hard skills and soft skills influenced to IQF. Further research is recommended in order to be able to add the code of ethics and professionalism Factors Accounting as one of the determinants of quality. The implication of this research is to format the hard skills and soft skills as well .Then accounting graduates This study aimed to explore hardskill hardskill graduates in the Accounting Department as the basis for improving the curriculum in the Department of Accounting and Economics Faculty in general. While the Policy Recommendations of this study are Need to be continuous assessment of the development of concepts and theoretical study of Hardskill and Soft skilll in the world of education and the accounting profession.

According Ghozali (2001) if VIF is less than 10 or the value of tolerance is more than 0.1, then there is no multicollinearity between independent variables studied. This table shows none of the independent variables that have a VIF value of less than 10 and the value of tolerance more than 0.1 so it is concluded that there is no multicollinearity between independent variables in this regression model. As table 7 below :

Y = IQF 1.433 0,630

X1 = Hardskill 1.417 0,706

X2 = Soft Skill 1.078 0,926

To determine the existence of conditions heterocedastisitas on this research data, then scatterplot graph. Processed based on primary data obtained research results show that the scatterplot graph for regression spread randomly so that it can be concluded that no heterocedastisicy.

The result of the calculation of multiple regression model to test research hypotheses based tabulation of data with a total score of each construct and the value of each variable both independent and dependent variables can be seen in Table 8 as follows:

Then the derivative calculation results also raise the value of regression equation as follows:

F = 56,16 Sig : 0,035

R = 0,768

R square = 0,722 Adj. R Square = 0,199

Based on the calculation results shown in table 11, it can be made a model of multiple linear regression equation is:

Y1 = 0.319 + 0,122X1 0,537X2 + e +...(2)

Regression coefficients X1 and X2, everything is positive, which means that all variables are positive effect to IQF, Rated R Square research is 0722, meaning 72.2% of the variation can be explained on the IQF dus independent variable Hardskill and soft skills, while the rest is explained by other causes outside the model.

Value of F test results showed 56.16 with a p-value of 0.035 on the dependent variables, this means that the regression model can be used to predict the quality of graduates with a decisive factor Hardskill , Soft Skill. Based on the regression test results in table 8, it can test the hypothesis can be summarized in Table 9 below:

Table 9 result of Hyphotesis testing

Variabel p Decision Result

X1 0,122 .000 Accepted Significan

X2 0,537 006 Accepted Significan

The hypothesis states that Hardskill, Soft Skill influenced to IQF thus acceptable hypothesis, so this variable must be an important concern for college executive in analyzing educational program development plan. Two Hypothesis Testing Results by t-test for two independent samples (indepnendent t t-test) results show the same variance both with probability 3,225 0,074 so there is no difference in perception between the two groups about the quality of graduates

V. CONCLUSION DAN RECOMENDATION

Based on the analysis above it can be concluded accepted hypothesis means that both variables indpenden ie hard skills and soft skills influenced to IQF. Further research is recommended in order to be able to add the code of ethics and professionalism Factors Accounting as one of the determinants of quality. The implication of this research is to format the hard skills and soft skills as well .Then accounting graduates This study aimed to explore hardskill hardskill graduates in the Accounting Department as the basis for improving the curriculum in the Department of Accounting and Economics Faculty in general. While the Policy Recommendations of this study are Need to be continuous assessment of the development of concepts and theoretical study of Hardskill and Soft skilll in the world of education and the accounting profession.
