Abstract

This study examines the determinants of accrual manipulation in local government financial reporting in Indonesia during 2020, a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, repeated budget revisions, and severe fiscal pressures. A quantitative approach was employed using secondary data from the audited Local Government Financial Statements issued by the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK RI). The final sample consisted of 85 local governments after removing outliers to satisfy the normality test. The regression model is statistically significant (F = 3.731; p = 0.008) with R² of 0.157, indicating that four independent variables explain 15.7% of the variance in accrual manipulation. Partially, Government Size has a positive and significant effect (β = 0.057; p < 0.02), while Fiscal Capacity has a negative and significant effect (β = −0.070; p < 0.02). Fiscal Stress and Budget Surplus (SiLPA) each of them show positive and negative but insignificant effects. The findings reveal that larger local governments face higher bureaucratic complexity and political pressure, broadening discretionary room for accrual manipulation. Conversely, strong fiscal capacity reduces opportunistic reporting incentives. These results reinforce agency theory in the context of public finance and suggest implementing risk-based audits and strengthening local accounting capacity to enhance financial transparency and accountability.

Purpose of this study is to examine the effect of budget deficit, personal income, and fund budget toward capital expenditure in the changes of districts’/ municipalities’ budget in Indonesia. The used samples are 30 (thirty) districts/ municipalities in Indonesia which its data is available in internet. Result of data analysis shows that variable of fund budget (measured by DBH changes) which  partially  effects toward the  changes of capital expenditure budget, while variable of budget deficit (measured by SiLPA changes) and variable of personal income (measured by PAD changes) do not have effect toward capital expenditure.Keywords:  Budget , Capital , Desentralisation

Abstract

Research aims: This study aims to examine how local government size, regional fiscal capacity, and legislative size influence the level of housing allowances allocated to members of regional representative council (DPRD). By doing so, the study seeks to provide empirical evidence on agency problems in local public budgeting, particularly in expenditure items that directly benefit political agents. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study adopts a quantitative approach using a multiple linear regression model. The sample consists of 188 district and municipal governments in Indonesia observed over the period 2017–2023. Secondary data were collected from local government budgets (APBD), audited financial statements, and local regulations governing DPRD allowances. Research findings: The empirical results indicate that local government size, regional fiscal capacity, and the number of DPRD members have a positive and significant effect on the amount of housing allowances received by DPRD members. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study extends agency theory by demonstrating that, in the context of Indonesian local governments, agency problems are not only driven by information asymmetry but also by structural factors such as fiscal capacity and political scale. The findings confirm that political agents are able to strategically influence budgetary outcomes when institutional control mechanisms are weak, thereby enriching the application of agency theory in decentralized public sector settings. Practitioner/Policy Implication: The determination of DPRD housing allowances should be governed by a nationally standardized upper-limit formula based on objective fiscal indicators and regional cost indices, supported by mandatory independent fiscal reviews prior to approval. Additionally, enhanced transparency through detailed public disclosure of allowance components in APBD documents is essential to strengthen accountability and reduce legislative rent-seeking behavior.
