Abstract

This study aims to analyse the effect of follow-up of audit recommendations and local government financial performance on incumbent electability. Using a quantitative approach and secondary data from local elections in Indonesia in 2017, 2018, and 2020, this study involved a final sample of 428 observations consisting of 26 governor elections, 76 mayor elections, and 326 regent elections. The results show that the main variables analysed, namely follow-up to audit recommendations and financial performance, play a role in increasing the electability of incumbents. Good local government financial management, especially those related to accountability and sustainability of local finances, was shown to affect the level of electability of incumbents. This study has important implications for local government awareness of the role of audit practices and government financial management in increasing public trust and satisfaction. The findings emphasize the importance of implementing good financial governance and accountability as one of the factors that can support increased political support for incumbents in general elections. Keywords: Incumbent Electability, Follow-up of Audit Recommendations, Financial Performance, Financial Independence.

Abstract

This research is driven by the enormous challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), often hampered by weak governance and rampant corruption in many countries. Therefore, this research aims to determine the impact of controlling corruption and the effectiveness of global governance on achieving SDG 16. The method used in this research is purposive sampling using cross-country quantitative data from 2017 to 2021, with the final sample consisting of 145 countries and a total of 725 observations. Data is collected from various international sources such as the World Bank, Transparency International, Sustainable Development Report, and Human Development Report. Hypotheses were formulated and tested using multiple linear regression analysis using the STATA-17 software program. The research results show that government effectiveness and the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) positively affect achieving SDG 16. Countries that score higher in indicators of government effectiveness and control of corruption tend to make better progress in achieving SDG 16, and vice versa. Therefore, strengthening efforts to achieve SDG 16 requires political reform to strengthen state institutions, increase transparency and accountability, and ensure effective control over anti-corruption.
