The downfall of the New Order Regime in 1998 brought about significant change to Indonesia’s public sector.  Law number 22 of 1999, further refined by Law 32 of 2004, provide legal bases for district governments to administer the public sector. The central government also introduces the notion of good governance through the promulgation of various regulations. For Madrasah however, decentralization policy failed to provide clear legal bases as to how it relates to district government. Law 32 of 2004 verse 10 article 3 retains the centralized management by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This however does not exclude Madrasah from public demand of implementing the principle of good governance. This study analyses the dynamics of principal-ship both in the Sekolah and the Madrasah in the era of decentralization. By comparing two research sites, this study sought to create better understanding about the context by which the organization climate of two different schools are shaped, and how principals and teachers perceives the notion of school leadership in the light of most recent policy development. To do this, interviews were undertaken and questionnaire-based data collection was also conducted. The study found that in the ground level implementation of decentralization policy, Sekolah developed more rigorous leadership compared to that in the Madrasah. This research recommends the adoption of stronger regulation regarding principal-ship of Madrasahs in order to create an environment that is more in tune with the spirit of public service reforms.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The phenomenon that occurs in the public sector agencies today is the revitalization of governance (good governance). One cause is the revitalization of the public demands for accountability. Through the improvement of accountability, the disclosure of information to the public will be more extensive in which as the principal, the society is entitled to know the information related to the performance of public sector agencies for the evaluation and control on the management of resources that have been mandated. Today, accountability development is not only done by the central government and local governments alone. The village government also contributes to the realization of government responsible (accountable), especially on the financial management of the village in order to avoid misappropriation offunds. The purpose of this study is to investigate the implementation of law number 6 of 2014 in realizing the accountability of village financial management within the planning side, implementation, administration, reporting, accountability, guidance and supervision of village finances. This research uses descriptive qualitative comparative method which is to describe the financial management of the village Banggle and village Toyomarto and then compare to the law number 6 of 2014 and its supporting rules, so a conclusion can be drawn. The results showed that based on law number 6 of 2014 outlines, the financial management of the Village Toyomarto had been accountable, but technically there were still many obstacles. For example, the village planning is not timely, delay in release of funds from the local government to the village, delay in reporting to the regents, the accountability report had not been published to the public, and the supervision and oversight of local government less maxi¬mum. Thus, it is a need for intensive assistance to improve financial management in the village Banggle and village Toyomarto.</p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Fenomena yang terjadi pada instansi sektor publik dewasa ini adalah revitalisasi tata kelola pemerintahan (good governance). Salah satu penyebab revitalisasi adalah adanya tuntutan pertanggungjawaban terhadap publik (accountability). Melalui peningkatan pertanggungjawaban maka keterbukaan informasi kepada masyarakat semakin luas. Sebagai principal, masyarakat berhak mengetahui informasi terkait kinerja instansi sektor publik untuk bahan evaluasi dan kontrol terhadap pengelolaan sumber daya yang telah diamanahkan. Kini peningkatan akuntabilitas tidak hanya dilakukan oleh pemerintah pusat dan pemerintah daerah saja. Pemerintah desa juga turut serta dalam mewujudkan pemerintahan yang bertanggungjawab (accountable), terutama atas pengelolaan keuangan desa agar tidak terjadi penyelewengan dana. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pelaksanaan Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 dalam mewujudkan akuntabilitas pengelolaan keuangan desa dari sisi perencanaan, pelaksanaan, penatausahaan, pelaporan, pertanggungjawaban, pembinaan dan pengawasan keuangan desa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif komparatif yaitu mendiskripsikan pengelolaan keuangan desa di Desa Banggle dan Desa Toyomarto kemudian membandingkan dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 dan aturan penunjangnya, sehingga dapat ditarik sebuah kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 secara garis besar pengelolaan keuangan Desa Banggle dan Toyomarto telah accountable, namun secara teknis masih banyak kendala. Kendala tersebut seperti perencanaan desa yang tidak tepat waktu, keterlambatan pencairan dana dari pemerintah daerah ke desa, keterlambatan pelaporan kepada bupati, laporan pertanggungjawaban belum terpublikasi kepada masyarakat, dan pembinaan serta pengawasan dari pemerintah daerah yang kurang maksimal. Sehingga perlu adanya pendampingan yang intensif untuk memperbaiki pengelolaan keuangan desa di Desa Banggle dan Desa Toyomarto.</p>

The main question around which this paper is based is whether the public sector in Albania needs to establish the Audit Committees as a demand for enhanced quality of services and accountability over the use of public funds is increasing. This paper analyzes the role of public sector Audit Committees in common law practices established to advise management on the adequacy of structures and processes that ensure the integrity of the accounting, auditing, risk management internal controls, and financial reporting. This paper founds out that Audit Committees are not best practices established in every country considering the fact that this practice is appropriate to the private sector corporate governance. However, it reveals that lack of such committees put into question the achievement of good governance objectives. Therefore, this document recommends the establishment of the Audit Committees across the public sector as a practice strongly recommended in the central government bodies within United Kingdom. Such Committees will advise the head of public organizations on risk exposure, corporate governance and control issues, and will enhance and improve the professionalism of internal auditors who still in Albania are adopting and relying on a traditional financial internal audit approach.

To improve the trust of citizens and delivery of services, employing good governance principles in the public sector is very crucial. Despite efforts to improve service delivery, criticisms and complains toward public services remain evident. This study aims to assess the status of good governance practices in the public sector of Malaysia. Primary data were collected from the responses of 109 department heads under 24 federal ministries to a survey questionnaire. Respondent perception of good governance practices was measured using a seven-point Likert scale and analyzed by descriptive statistics and path measurement modeling. Standard diagnostic tests were also conducted to check the reliability of the data and model. Results indicated that nine factors were significant in the measurement of good governance practices. However, very few people in the public sector of Malaysia practice fraud control, which is at the lowest intensity. Among the service groups, the engineer group practiced good governance at the highest level, whereas the health service group practiced good governance at the lowest level. Therefore, still there are scopes available to improve good governance systems to become more reliable and efficient public sector in Malaysia. Findings of the study will help policy makers improve the efficiency of the public sector of Malaysia and other countries.

The management role of the public sector in public–private partnership PPP infrastructure projects has been extensively expanded to the whole lifecycle rather than in the traditional infrastructure projects. The performance of the public sector in a PPP is the key for the PPP to achieve sustainability; however, there is a lack of research on the whole lifecycle management efficiency of the public sector in a PPP. This research aims to examine the governance role of the public sector in PPP projects, and therefore evaluate their whole lifecycle management efficiency. An evaluation framework is developed through the lens of governmentality to evaluate the performance of the public sector. Multiple case studies on PPP infrastructure projects in China have identified loopholes during the whole lifecycle of a PPP at the local governmental level. On the basis of the findings of case studies, a conceptual model is proposed to demonstrate ways for the public sector to improve efficiency through integrated governance of PPP projects. The research findings benefit both the central government in terms of evaluation and decision making and the local government by improving their efficiency in PPP infrastructure projects for the purpose of achieving sustainability. According to the findings, policy strategies are provided for the central government on how to further regulate the PPP market and address the loopholes, including further standardizing regulations and instruction, providing unified quantitative calculation or measurement tools, training, and education for the public sector to integrate whole lifecycle project management, and quality control of consultancy for the PPP infrastructure projects.
