The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of local government characteristics on the level of disclosure of Local Government Financial Statements (LKPD) based on Government Accounting Standard. We use sample from 620 LKPD in Indonesia during [2008][2009]. We found that the average rate of LKPD disclosure is 52.09%. The local government characteristics which are age, wealth and legislature size have significant positive effect on LKPD disclosure level, while intergovernmental revenues have significant negative effect. On the otherhand, government size, functional differentiation, work specialization, the ratio of financial independence and debt financing has no effect on LKPD disclosure level. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh karakteristik pemerintah daerah terhadap tingkat pengungkapan Laporan Keuangan Pemerintah Daerah (LKPD) berdasarkan Standar Akuntansi Pemerintahan. Jumlah sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 620 LKPD Kabupaten/Kota di Indonesia tahun 2008-2009. Rata-rata tingkat pengungkapan Laporan Keuangan Pemerintah Daerah adalah sebesar 52,09%. Karakteristik pemerintah daerah yang terdiri dari umur administratif pemerintah daerah, kekayaan pemerintah daerah, dan ukuran legislatif memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap tingkat pengungkapan LKPD, sedangkan intergovernmental revenue memiliki pengaruh negatif yang signifikan. Ukuran pemerintah daerah, diferensiasi fungsional, spesialisasi pekerjaan, rasio kemandirian keuangan daerah dan pembiayaan utang terbukti tidak mempunyai pengaruh terhadap tingkat pengungkapan LKPD. Kata kunci : laporan keuangan pemerintah daerah, pengungkapan, standar akuntansi pemerintahan PENDAHULUAN Sebagai pihak yang menjalankan roda pemerintahan, pembangunan, dan pelayanan masyarakat, Pemerintah Daerah (Pemda) dituntut untuk mewujudkan transparansi dan akuntabilitas terhadap pengelolaan keuangannya agar tercipta pemerintahan yang bersih.

PurposeThis study aims to analyze the effect of audit findings and audit recommendations follow-up on the quality of financial reports and the quality of public services in the context of applying accrual accounting systems to local government in Indonesia. This study also examines whether the quality of the financial report affects the quality of public services.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed cross-sectional regression using data from 1,437 observations from 491 districts/cities for 2014–2016. The data illustrates the conditions prior to the adoption of the accrual accounting system (2014), the initial year of application/transition period (2015) and the second year of the expected accrual accounting system (2016).FindingsThe results of the study indicate that, in general, the quality of financial reports affects the quality of public services. Regarding the implementation of audits in the public sector, it is also found that audit findings have a negative impact on the quality of financial report and the quality of public services, while audit recommendations follow-up plays a positive role in improving the quality of financial report and the quality of public services.Research limitations/implicationsThe implication of the results of this study is closely related to the efforts to realize the ultimate goal of the recent government reforms. In order to increase the quality of public services in the era of higher report requirements through an accrual accounting system, the government should focus on the quality of financial reports, audit findings and the audit recommendations follow-up.Originality/valueThis study provides new insight on the link between the public sector auditing and the quality of accounting in accrual implementation context and the quality of public services.
Penelitian ini mengevaluasi secara empiris pengaruh karakteristik tata kelola pemerintahan dan e-government terhadap korupsi di Indonesia dengan menggunakan sampel 172 pemerintah daerah pada tahun 2011 hingga 2013. Karakteristik tata kelola pemerintahan dalam penelitian ini diukur melalui akuntabilitas, fairness, desentralisasi, transparansi, profesionalisme dan responsiveness. Variabel e-government diukur dengan Peringkat e-Government Indonesia. Metode penelitian menggunakan model logistik dengan program Stata12. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penerapan akuntabilitas, profesionalisme dan e-government berpengaruh negatif menurunkan probabilitas korupsi, sedangkan desentralisasi justru meningkatkan probabilitas terjadinya korupsi. Sehingga rekomendasi bagi pemerintah guna penurunan korupsi adalah meningkatkan pengawasan atas tindak lanjut rekomendasi, profesionalisme aparat dan penerapan e-government.
The purpose of this study is to measure auditor quality of The Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK) and investigates the effect of auditor quality on the follow-up of audit recommendation. This study uses sample of local government financial statements in Indonesia from 2010-2012. Using principle component analysis method, the result shows that there are four components extracted that form auditor quality which is experience, training, motivation, and education. All four components are then combined into a single auditor quality index that represents comprehensive measure of auditor quality. The test result shows positive effect between auditor quality and follow-up of audit recommendation. This indicates that high quality auditor is able to produce appropriate recommendations that can be easily followed up by the auditee. The more recommendations are acted upon, the better the quality of local government financial statements.
