<![CDATA[Purpose – This study examines communication management in village fund governance through four functions, namely planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling. It focuses on how communication practices influence transparency, accountability, and community participation. Design/methodology/approach - This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with village officials, community representatives, and fund beneficiaries. Data validity was strengthened through source triangulation, while analysis followed the interactive stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings/Results - The findings show that communication management is implemented through internal meetings and village deliberation forums, with responsibilities distributed according to the village government structure. However, communication remains highly dependent on face-to-face interaction, resulting in uneven access to information and participation. Limited community understanding, low attendance, and difficulty interpreting technical financial terms remain key barriers. Originality/Value - This study highlights the importance of communication management in strengthening transparency and accountability in village fund governance. The findings suggest that more inclusive and accessible information systems are needed to ensure that financial information reaches the wider community.]]>
