Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of discretion and accountability on fraud pentagon model practices in village fund management. The primary focus is to explore the interaction of these variables with the risk of fraud at the village level, testing the general assumption of whether these variables serve as preventive tools or, conversely, as facilitators. Methods: This study employs a quantitative approach with a sample size of 97 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS), operated through SmartPLS 4 software. Results: The findings reveal significant yet paradoxical results. First, discretion has a positive and significant effect on fraud (0.445), indicating a loophole for the abuse of authority (opportunity). Second, accountability also has a positive and significant effect on fraud (0.504), demonstrating a phenomenon of "symbolic accountability" where administration is utilized as a facade to conceal irregularities. Overall, these two variables contribute 54.1% to the variance of the fraud pentagon model in village funds. Implications: These results indicate that strengthening accountability that is merely formalistic without substantive oversight actually increases the risk of fraud. It is recommended that local governments tighten the boundaries of discretion (bounded discretion) and transition the oversight system from mere document audits to more stringent physical field verification.

Abstract

Akses terhadap air minum aman merupakan kebutuhan dasar sekaligus indikator penting pembangunan berkelanjutan. Di Indonesia, penyediaan layanan air minum di tingkat daerah sebagian besar dikelola oleh Badan Usaha Milik Daerah (BUMD) air minum atau Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum (PDAM). Pemerintah daerah memberikan penyertaan modal sebagai instrumen fiskal untuk memperkuat kapasitas pelayanan PDAM. Namun, efektivitas penyertaan modal dalam mendorong pencapaian Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6.1 masih belum optimal, terutama di daerah dengan keterbatasan kapasitas kelembagaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh penyertaan modal pemerintah daerah terhadap pencapaian SDGs 6.1 dengan menempatkan kinerja PDAM sebagai variabel mediasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) berbasis Partial Least Squares (PLS) menggunakan WarpPLS versi 8.0. Data yang digunakan merupakan data sekunder yang bersumber dari laporan kinerja PDAM dan publikasi Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) periode 2021-2023, dengan objek seluruh PDAM di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyertaan modal tidak berpengaruh langsung secara signifikan terhadap pencapaian SDGs 6.1. Sebaliknya, penyertaan modal berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap kinerja PDAM, dan kinerja PDAM berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap pencapaian SDGs 6.1. Kinerja PDAM terbukti berperan sebagai mediator penuh dalam hubungan antara penyertaan modal dan pencapaian SDGs 6.1. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa efektivitas investasi publik di sektor air minum sangat bergantung pada peningkatan kinerja dan tata kelola PDAM.
