So far, the financial reporting of Islamic boarding schools does not have standardization. So that each boarding school has a different form of financial reporting. In the end, Bank Indonesia and the Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IAI) developed the Pesantren Accounting Guidelines (PAP). Pesantren Accounting Guidelines are one of the programs in the development of pesantren economic independence. This article aims to describe the challenges faced by Islamic boarding schools in achieving accountable Islamic education institutions. Based on the literature review, there are three challenges in Islamic boarding schools in order to become an accountable Islamic educational institution, namely the boarding school human resources in the field of accounting, cooperation between related institutions and the use of technology. Islamic boarding schools must increase or increase competent human resources in the fields of accounting and financial reporting.

The provision of technology and the procurement of a type of software or application can make it easier for Islamic boarding school human resources to prepare financial reports in accordance with financial accounting standards (SAK), in this case in accordance with Islamic Boarding School Accounting Guidelines.Keywords: Islamic Boarding School, Accountable, Islamic Boarding School AccountingJEL Classification Codes: L31, Z12, Z18]]>
