This study aims to determine the effects of government size, fiscal capacity, fiscal distress, and legislature size on accrual manipulation in local government financial reporting. The study was conducted on 23 local governments in Aceh with data analysis using multiple linear regressions. The data is extracted from audited financial reports of the local governments for the period 2016-2020. This study uses the Modified Jones Model to measure the manipulation of accruals. The results show that the government size and fiscal distress have a negative effect on accrual manipulation, legislature size has a positive effect on accrual manipulation, and fiscal capacity have no effect on accrual manipulation. These results indicate that the accrual manipulation in financial reporting can occur due to discretionary policies carried out by local government officials with the aim of making their financial performance look good.
Mining sector companies are closely related to pollution, waste, and strong interactions with the environment. If the pollution and waste are ignored, it will cause environmental damage that consequently impacts environmental sustainability and the community around the company. Therefore, companies are requested to address environmental and social issues through corporate social responsibility activities. Determinants of corporate social responsibility disclosure include company size, liquidity, leverage, and profitability. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the determinants of corporate social responsibility disclosure on corporate social responsibility in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2016 to 2020. The number of sample companies studied was seven mining sector companies, and the number of data tested was 35 (for five years). The data used in this research were derived from financial and sustainability reports. The sampling technique used in this study was the saturated sample. Data were analyzed using regression analysis processed using the SPSS application. This study revealed that company size, liquidity, leverage, and profitability affect corporate social responsibility disclosure.
This study aims to determine the appropriateness of village funds management and reporting budgets in Simeulue Regency based on the Regulation of the Ministry of Home Affairs Number 20 of 2018 and the Regulation of Simelue Regent Number 78 of 2018 concerning village fund management. This research is a study in all villages in Simeulue District in 138 villages. Data collection from this study was interviews and observations of 138 villages as the object of this research. Respondents in this research consist of two people in each village, with a total of 276 respondents. A qualitative descriptive was employed as the analysis method. Data were collected from interviews, observations and documentation. The results showed that the stages of village fund management in Simeulue Regency were following the mandate instructed by the Permendagri and the 2018 Simeulue regent regulation. Regarding managing the village fund budget, reporting, and accountability, there were still two villages, namely Lhok Makmur and Sembilan Villages, whose budgets still needed to be in order, resulting in reporting and accountability delays. Such conditions are caused by a lack of ability of the financial coordinator since the treasurer has newly served in that position. The implications of the findings are expected to be the basis for policymakers to manage village funds in the future.
