The results of the research conducted on the Office of Financial Management and Government Property of Magelang City demonstrated that the financial performance of the Magelang City Government can be assessed through variance analysis of expenditures. The average value of the difference (variance) is 26.7, while the average utilization or absorption of the expenditure budget is 73.14%.
