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.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and participation of church administrators in financial management and their impact on transparency and accountability of financial records in accordance with accounting standards. The study used a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach through interviews with the pastor, treasurer, secretary, and congregation representatives at the Indonesian Rahmadani Christ Church in Palu City, the study location. The results indicate that financial records have been supported by digitalization (Google Forms and Spreadsheets) and strong participation of administrators, thereby increasing congregation trust. However, financial management practices have not been optimal. This is indicated by congregation financial reports that only cover income without detailed expenditures and limited data access. This condition is influenced by the administrators' limited understanding of standard reporting procedures, given the lack of administrators with formal accounting backgrounds. In conclusion, despite good administrator participation, the lack of formal accounting competency is a major obstacle to achieving transparency and accountability in church financial management as a whole.
