This study investigates the effect of local government internal control systems on local government administration performance. We use secondary data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Financial and Development Supervisory Agency, Indonesian Statistics Bureau, and respective local government financial statements and websites. We generate a set of panel data from 508 local governments during 2017-2019 with 1524 observations analysed with panel data regression. We evidence that several local governments still have low and medium administration performance in 2017-2019 that has not met the expectation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as stated in the strategic plan in 2015. Our analysis provides empirical evidence that control environment, risk assessment, and information and communication positively affect local government administration performance. Our result provides implications to the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency to continuously optimise internal control system development programs in Indonesian local governments and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to have higher enforcement of local government administration performance achievement.

Unqualified Opinion (WTP) is the audit opinion that will be issued if the financial statements are considered to provide information that is free from material misstatement. This opinion became the dream of all local governments and even become a major performance indicator for the Inspectorate area. Nevertheless, the acquisition of the WTP opinion is still found to be contradictory to the welfare conditions of the people. This study qualitatively seeks to examine the need for an examination of financial governance that also includes indicators of people’s welfare. The hermeneutic method is used to analyze the welfare audit discourse that needs to be carried out by BPK so that each rupiah of local government expenditure is beneficial for the improvement of people’s welfare as well as in harmony with the WTP opinion obtained. The results of the research indicate that BPK needs to include welfare audit in the process of local government financial audit from planning, implementation, to reporting activities that concretely support the achievement of public welfare. Thus, the philosophical management of state/ regional finances is used openly, responsibly, and as much as possible for the welfare of the people can be realized. From the internal side of local government, it is necessary to strengthen the internal control system, as well as strict supervision from the Inspectorate. Keywords: Society Welfare Audit, Hermeneutical, Unqualified Opinion, Government External Audit Abstrak Opini Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian (WTP) adalah opini audit yang akan diterbitkan jika laporan keuangan pemerintah dianggap memberikan informasi yang bebas dari salah saji material. Opini ini menjadi idaman seluruh Pemerintah Daerah bahkan menjadi indikator kinerja utama bagi Inspektorat daerahnya. Namun demikian, perolehan opini WTP tersebut masih ditemukan berkontradiksi dengan kondisi kesejahteraan rakyat. Penelitian ini secara kualitatif berupaya mendalami perlunya pemeriksaan tata kelola keuangan yang juga mengikutsertakan indikator kesejahteraan rakyat.Metode hermeneutik digunakan untuk menganalisis wacana audit kesejahteraan yang perlu dilaksanakan oleh BPK agar setiap rupiah belanja pemerintah daerah bermanfaat bagi peningkatan kesejahteraan rakyat serta selaras dengan opini WTP yang diperoleh. Hasil penelitian menunjukan pemaknaan bahwa BPK perlu memasukkan audit kesejahteraan dalam proses pemeriksaan keuangan pemerintah daerah mulai dari kegiatan perencanaan, pelaksanaan, hingga pada pelaporan yang secara konkrit mendukung pencapaian kesejahteraan masyarakat. Dengan demikian, filosofis pengelolaan keuangan negara/ daerah dipergunakan secara terbuka, bertanggung jawab, dan sebesar-besarnya untuk kemakmuran rakyat dapat diwujudkan. Dari sisi internal pemerintah daerah, diperlukan penguatan atas sistem pengendalian internal, serta pengawasan yang ketat dari Inspektorat. Kata kunci: Audit Kesejahteraan Rakyat, Hermeneutika, WTP, Pemeriksaan Eksternal Pemerintah
