Abstract

Professional ethics of auditors are the main foundation in maintaining the quality of audits and the credibility of financial statements. Financial statements used as the basis for economic decision- making require an objective, independent, and integrity audit process. This article aims to analyze the ethical role of the auditor profession in maintaining public confidence in financial statements. The methods used are literature studies on auditing textbooks, professional codes of ethics (KEPAP and IESBA), Professional Standards for Public Accountants (SPAP), as well as cases of auditor ethics violations in Indonesia and internationally. The results of the study show that integrity, independence, professional competence, and professional skepticism are the main ethical principles that have a significant effect on audit quality and the level of public trust. Strengthening ethical culture, regulatory supervision, and continuous professional education are important strategies in maintaining the credibility of the auditor profession.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the financial statements of the Pematang Siantar City Government for the 2020–2024 period in terms of the application of Government Accounting Standards (SAP) and assess regional financial performance through effectiveness, efficiency, and fiscal independence ratios. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach with secondary data in the form of the Pematang Siantar City Regional Government Financial Report (LKPD) for 2020– 2024. Data analysis techniques used include regional financial ratio analysis and analysis of the suitability of financial statement presentation based on Government Regulation No. 71 of 2010 concerning Government Accounting Standards. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of SAP in the Pematang Siantar City Government has generally been carried out in accordance with the provisions, but there are still several weaknesses in the aspects of effectiveness and efficiency of regional financial management. The level of effectiveness of Regional Original Revenue (PAD) shows fluctuations and tends to decrease in certain years, while the level of regional spending efficiency is still not optimal. In addition, the level of regional fiscal independence is still relatively low, reflecting a high dependence on transfer funds from the central government. This study is expected to serve as evaluation material for regional governments in improving the quality of financial management as well as the transparency and accountability of regional financial reports.
