Abstract

AbstractCorruption continues to be pervasive throughout Indonesia. An ICW report in 2019 states that a total of 580 corruption suspects have been brought to trial. Civil servants were the main perpetrators of corruption, followed by municipal heads and local legislative heads and members. Perpetrators commit corruption mostly through budget misuse, mark-ups, fictitious reports, and embezzlement. Corruption is a serious problem because it is committed by the highest-ranking officers in organizations. The data confirms the importance of research on fraud in Indonesian local governments. In this respect, this study seeks to test the effectiveness of fraud diamond theory (pressure, opportunity, rationalization, and capability) in detecting fraud in Indonesian local governments. Our population is local governments in Java island. This study uses cross-sectional data obtained from local government corruption cases in Java Island during the 2015-2018 period that were legally resolved with binding Supreme Court decisions (inkracht). The results empirically find that performance accountability, regional autonomy, capital expenditure, fiscal decentralization, and mayoral tenure affect fraud in Indonesian local governments. Keywords: corruption; local governments; fraud diamond theory

Abstract

While research on the accountability of local government performance has grown significantly, little attention has been paid to the critical success factors, particularly the role of the maturity of the government's internal control system and the capability of the government's internal auditors. This study examines the effect of the maturity of the government's internal control system and the capability of the government's internal auditors on the accountability of local government performance, with control variables, namely audit opinion, local own-source revenues, and proliferation status. It aims to fill the gap using the Indonesian case. This study uses secondary data with sample selection using the purposive sampling method. Local governments in Indonesia from 2017 to 2019 are used as samples. The results of this study indicate that the government's internal control system's maturity, internal auditors' capability, and audit opinions positively affect local governments' performance accountability. In contrast, local own-source revenues and proliferation status negatively impact local governments' performance accountability. The implication of this study is to increase the accountability of local government's performance and continue to improve the maturity of the government's internal control system to achieve at least level 3 (Integrated). The capability of internal government auditors needs to achieve at least level 3 (Defined); thereby, the internal control function of local governments can be optimal.
