Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the key factors influencing the perceived quality of local government financial reports, focusing on internal stakeholder perceptions of decision usefulness, public accountability, and transparency. Method: A quantitative research approach was employed using a survey method. The population comprised all local government units (Organisasi Perangkat Daerah or OPD) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, with purposive judgment sampling used to select relevant departments and agencies. The respondents were finance and accounting personnel within each sampled OPD. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using WarpPLS 7.0 to assess the measurement model and test the proposed hypotheses via structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings: The results reveal that perceived decision usefulness, accountability, and transparency each have a significant and positive effect on the perceived quality of financial reports. These findings suggest that internal users’ judgments of report quality are strongly influenced by how well financial information supports managerial decisions, fulfills accountability expectations, and communicates financial realities transparently. Novelty: This study contributes to the public sector accounting literature by integrating three theoretical perspectives, decision-usefulness theory, public accountability theory, and transparency theory, to explain variation in perceived financial reporting quality. By focusing on the perceptions of internal stakeholders in local government, the study offers a contextualized understanding of how technical and normative dimensions of reporting shape quality assessments in a decentralized public finance environment.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates why Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Gorontalo conceptualize and manage losses not merely as financial deficits but as cultural and spiritual concerns. It addresses the gap in accounting research that rarely examines loss accounting through the lens of local wisdom and Islamic values. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative method using a spiritual paradigm and an Islamic ethnomethodology approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using five interpretive stages: charity, knowledge, faith, revealed information, and excellence. Findings: The study identifies four concrete strategies used by pesantren to avoid or reduce losses: maximizing school fee collection with community involvement, intensively socializing institutional programs, securing external funding sources, and framing the management of losses as a form of worship. These practices reflect the Gorontalo cultural value Eya dila pito-pito’o (“God does not close His eyes”), which strengthens accountability and institutional resilience.  Novelty: The research offers a culturally grounded model of loss accounting that integrates local wisdom and Islamic spirituality. This contributes a new conceptual lens for understanding financial practices in faith-based educational institutions and enriches the accounting literature on pesantren.
