In addition, the study also examines the extent to which the budget is used effectively in supporting the implementation of institutional tasks and functions. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through triangulation techniques, which include in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and documentation studies of the Budget Realization Report (LRA) and Notes to the Financial Statements (CaLK).
