Analyzing of the datas were using multiple linear regression with the support of SmartPLS software. The results show that competence has a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial statements (p-value = 0.038). Similarly, workload also has a positive and significant effect (p-value = 0.000). Simultaneously, competence and workload significantly affect the quality of financial statements with an F-value of 13.898 (p-value = 0.000). The R² value of 0.223 indicates that the independent variables explain 22.3% of the variation in financial statement quality. This study contributes empirically by demonstrating that managing employee competence and balancing workload are critical factors in improving the quality of financial statements in military higher education institutions. Theoretically, this research enriches the literature on human resource management and public sector accountin.
