Abstract

The urgency of this research stems from the Covid-19 pandemic which has caused health and economic challenges in many countries. This crisis has caused local governments to be in distress, where the initial signs of financial distress in local governments are very important for several reasons. Audit opinions issued by external auditors such as the BPK can provide a clear picture of the financial condition and transparency of budget management at the local government level. Therefore, the objectives of this study are (1) To analyze the relationship between local government characteristics and financial distress (2) To find empirical evidence regarding the impact of whether audit opinions can be an early signal of financial distress. The research method used is quantitative using multiple linear regression to test the effect of local government characteristics on financial distress, in addition to using moderation interaction analysis to determine the role of audit opinion as a moderator variable. The data used are financial reports of companies in the infrastructure, utilities, and transportation sectors in 2020-2023 with data processing using SPSS version 26. The results of the study indicate that financial dependence and service solvency do not have a significant effect on financial distress, while regional independence, poverty, and local revenue have a significant effect. High regional independence and PAD tend to reduce the risk of financial distress, while high poverty rates increase the risk. Audit opinions were found to moderate the relationship between regional independence and financial distress, but did not moderate the relationship between service solvency or other variables with financial distress. These findings emphasize the importance of increasing fiscal independence and PAD management as well as poverty alleviation as a strategy to maintain regional financial stability.

Abstract

Global uncertainty triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to economic stability, particularly within vital sectors such as infrastructure, utilities, and transportation. Data indicate that these sectors experienced substantial revenue declines—87.9%, 90.90%, and 90.34%, respectively. These sharp decreases not only highlight the vulnerability of business sectors to external shocks but also underscore the importance of corporate resilience in responding to crises. Under such high-pressure circumstances, access to external financing becomes crucial for maintaining company operations. However, investors’ decisions to provide capital largely depend on the quality and credibility of the financial information disclosed by companies. Audited financial statements serve as a primary instrument for building investor trust, as they reflect managerial transparency and accountability. Furthermore, in this context, auditing plays a vital role in ensuring the credibility of financial information and the timeliness of financial reporting, which reflects a company’s responsiveness and accountability in maintaining resilience. This study aims to: (1) analyze the relationship between audit characteristics and the timeliness of financial reporting, and (2) provide empirical evidence regarding the impact of timely audited reporting on corporate resilience during periods of global uncertainty. A quantitative research method was employed, utilizing financial statement data from companies in the infrastructure, utilities, and transportation sectors for the years 2020 to 2023. The data were processed using SPSS 26. The findings reveal that auditor reputation has a significant effect on financial reporting timeliness. Meanwhile, audit location, auditor rotation, and audit fees were found to have no significant effect. Furthermore, timely financial reporting is proven to be a key factor in helping companies navigate economic uncertainty and maintain resilience amid ongoing global disruptions.
