“…While Nepalʼs local governments under the federalist constitution are cited as historic on the basis of their unique design and unprecedented power structure (Bhusal, 2022), the latent literature has not adequately captured the comparative landscape of local democracy in Nepal between the pre‐federal and post‐federal timeframes. In fact, existing studies on Nepalʼs local governance under the federalist constitution focus mainly on political processes (Acharya & Scott, 2022), developmental approaches (Rohdewohld, 2023), and intergovernmental relations (Bhattarai, 2023). While these studies provide small‐scale insights into Nepalʼs new landscape of local governance, we lack a comprehensive, plausible and holistic assessment of the new system of local government introduced after the introduction of the federalist constitution in 2015.…”

Nepalʼs 2015 federal constitution empowers local governments with significant autonomy, power, and resources for local policymaking, developmental programs, and public services. This research examines this new landscape of local governance as experienced during the first electoral tenure from 2017 to 2022, exploring the quality of local democracy in Nepal. Designed as interpretive research and analysed through a set of participatory democracy frameworks, the findings uncover mixed progress in the capacity of local democratic institutions to utilise constitutionally guaranteed power and resources. The findings of this study offer fresh academic and professional insights on Nepalʼs local democracy, participatory governance, and federalism.

Efforts to achieve the SDGs target are a national development priority, requiring the synergy of planning policies at the national and provincial and district/city levels (Indriyani & Fakrulloh, 2022;Rohdewohld, 2023). When Covid-19 hit, the achievement of SDGs decreased (Barbier & Burgess, 2020;Macht et al, 2020).…”

Purpose: This study investigates the mediating effect of fraud prevention and sustainable development goals (SDGs) on the relationship between Continuous Monitoring (CM) and Continuous Auditing (CA) on the reputation of government organizations. This idea was tested using a quantitative methodology in this study. Theoretical framework: Continuous monitoring, continuous auditing, fraud prevention, sustainable development goals, reputation Design/Methodology/Approach: The research instrument was a questionnaire filled out by the respondents. Participants in this study were all employees of the Inspectorate of Banten Province, Indonesia. For this study, 120 participants were selected using proportional stratification sampling, and data were analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM). Findings: This study found that CM had a positive and statistically significant effect on fraud prevention but did not affect the SDGs. Furthermore, CA does not affect fraud prevention but statistically affects the SDGs. In addition, fraud prevention has a statistical effect on the SDGs and the reputation of government agencies. The SDGs have a positive and significant effect on the reputation of government agencies. The mediating effect caused by fraud prevention and SDGs is that fraud prevention mediates the relationship between CM and reputation and CM and SDGs but does not mediate between CA and reputation and CA and SDGs. While the SDGs mediate between CA and reputation but do not mediate between CM and reputation. Research, Practical & Social implications: In further research, in order to conduct a broader research with other objects. The research is expected to be used for all companies. Originality/Value: This research proposes a novelty study that analyzes how fraud prevention and SDGs can mediate CM and CA on reputation.
