Good local government financial statements are financial statements according to the qualitative characteristics of financial statements, which are relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable. However, the phenomenon shows that there are still weaknesses in financial reporting in several local governments in Indonesia, especially in the provinces of Papua and West Papua based on the findings of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (IHPS II BPK, 2017). The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence of the role of moderating financial assistance and apparatus competency on the quality of government financial reports. Explanation of the relationship between variables was using an institutional theory perspective. The survey was conducted in 2018 on 42 Local Governments in Papua and West Papua. Methods of processing and analyzing data were using SEM-PLS with WarpPLS 6.0 statistical software. The results of the apparatus competency research have a positive effect on the quality of financial statements. A financial resistance positively strengthens the influence of apparatus competency on the quality of local government financial reports. Thus, efforts to overcome the presentation of quality financial statements require competent apparatus through the existence of financial assistance policies. Limitations of the study are the method of collecting data using a questionnaire and that it is very possible for the bias to occur. Therefore, efforts to achieve better results need to be accompanied by an interview method in order to obtain additional information as a comparison of respondents' answers; 2) the determination coefficient value of R- square is 0.41 or 41% indicating that there are still 0.59 or 59% variability in the quality of Local Government Financial Statements (LKPD) which can be explained by other variables outside the research model.

Performance measurement is one way that local governments can use to achieve good governance. Local government performance measurement (Pemda) includes measurement of financial and non financial performance. Analysis of local government financial performance is essentially not only a form of control, but also helps all users of local government financial reports including communities to be able to evaluate the performance of local governments. The performance of local government can be used to look at regional capability in running regional autonomy. This study aims to examine the effect of local government characteristics on the financial performance of local governments. The characteristics of local government are represented by size, intergovernmental revenue, and regional expenditure. This study examines the financial statements of local governments by taking a sample of 30 districts / cities in East Java. The data used in this research is secondary data. The analytical tool used in this study is multiple regression. From the analysis result, it can be concluded that partially size of local government size does not have an effect on to local government financial performance, intergovernmental revenue has significant effect to financial performance of local government and regional expenditure has no effect on local government financial performance. Simultaneously size, intergovernmental revenue, and local expenditure have an effect on to local government financial performance

ABSTRAK Pelaksanaan desentralisasi dibiayai atas beban Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD) sehingga pembiayaan pembangunan secara bertahap akan menjadi beban terhadap pemerintah daerah. Keadaan ini akan semakin memperkuat tekanan internal dari keuangan daerah, karena peranan sumbangan dan bantuan pusat dalam pembiayaan pembangunan daerah akan semakin kecil. Bantuan pusat dalam pembiayaan pembangunan hanya akan diberikan untuk menunjang pengeluaran pemerintah, khususnya untuk belanja pegawai dan program-program pembangunan yang hendak dicapai. Hal ini berarti bahwa seiring dengan berjalannya otonomi, dana transfer yang diberikan oleh pemerintah pusat ke pemerintah daerah mulai berkurang dan yang menjadi sumber utama pembiayaan daerah adalah pendapatan dari daerah sendiri. Transfer Pemerintah Pusat khususnya yang didominasi oleh transfer tidak bersyarat yaitu DAU dan DBH menjadi sumber dana utama dalam menunjang pembiayaan pembangunan yang ada di Kota Manado, hal ini mengindikasikan adanya fenomena flypaper effect pada Kota Manado. Penelitian ini bertujuan menelaah performa kinerja keuangan daerah untuk mengetahui apakah transfer atau DAU plus DBH dari pemerintah pusat dan PAD berpengaruh terhadap belanja pemerintah daerah (BD) Kota Manado serta untuk mendeteksi terjadinya flypaper effect. Data yang dipakai menggunakan data time series dengan periode anggaran tahun 2006-2012. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah model analisis rasio dan model ekonometrik, dengan menggunakan data sekunder. Hasil analisis rasio menunjukkan kemandirian dan derajat desentralisasi memiliki trend positif, akan tetapi masih sangat bergantung pada dana transfer pusat, juga ditemukan  produktivitas dan efektivitas belanja daerah (BD) terjadi penurunan. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa DAU dan PAD secara terpisah maupun serentak berpengaruh positif terhadap Belanja Daerah dan  pengaruh PAD terhadap BD lebih besar daripada pengaruh DAU terhadap BD dan memberikan bukti tentang tidak adanya keberadaan flypaper effect. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Pemerintah Daerah Kota Manado dalam memprediksi Belanja Daerahnya (BD) lebih mengutamakan kemampuan keuangannya sendiri yang diproksi dari penerimaan Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD).   Kata kunci:      Kinerja Keuangan Daerah, Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD),  Flypaper Effect. ABSTRACT The implementation of decentralization be financed at the expense of the Regional Budget (APBD) so that development financing will gradually become a burden for local governments. This situation will further strengthen the internal pressure of the financial area, because the role of donations and assistance in financing the regional development center will be smaller. Central assistance in development financing will only be granted to support government spending, particularly for personnel expenditure and development programs to be achieved. This means that over autonomy, transfer of funds given by the central government to local governments began to decrease and become the main source of funding is the revenue from the region itself. Central Government Transfers particularly dominated by unconditional transfer that DAU and DBH become a major source of funding to support the financing of development in the city of Manado, it indicates that the phenomenon of flypaper on the city of Manado. The research examined the performance of the financial performance area to determine whether the transfer or DAU plus DBH of the central government and the PAD influence on local government expenditures (BD) as well as the city of Manado for detecting the occurrence of flypaper. The data used using time series data with the 2006-2012 budget period. The analytical method used is the ratio analysis models and econometric models, using secondary data. Results of the analysis showed the ratio of self-reliance and degree of decentralization has a positive trend, but still highly dependent on the transfer of funds center, also found the productivity and effectiveness of expenditure areas (BD) decline. Regression analysis showed that DAU and PAD separately or simultaneously positive effect on regional expenditures and the effect of PAD to BD is greater than the influence of the DAU to BD and provide evidence about the absence of the existence of flypaper. This indicates that the Local Government Area of ​​Manado in predicting Shopping (BD) prefers his own financial capabilities are a proxy of acceptance revenue (PAD).   Keywords: Financial Performance Regional Budget (APBD), flypaper.

The participation of a third party of the environmental service enterprise theoretically increases the level and efficiency of soil pollution control in China. However, Chinese-style fiscal decentralization may have a negative impact on the behaviors of participants, especially the local government. First, this paper conducts a positioning analysis on participants of the third-party soil pollution control in China and discusses the behavioral dissimilation of the local government under fiscal decentralization. Second, taking the government’s third-party soil pollution control as a case, a two-party game model of the central government and the local government is established around the principal-agent relationship, and a tripartite game model of the central government, the local government, and the third-party enterprise is designed around the collusion between the local government and the third-party enterprise. The results show that Chinese-style fiscal decentralization may lead to the behavioral dissimilation of local governments, that is, they may choose not to implement or passively implement the third-party control, and choose to conspire with third-party enterprises. Improving the benefits from implementing the third-party control of local governments and third-party enterprises, enhancing the central government’s supervision probability and capacity, and strengthening the central government’s punishment for behavioral dissimilation are conducive to the implementation of the third-party soil pollution control. Finally, this study puts forward policy suggestions on dividing the administrative powers between the central and local government in third-party control, building appraisal systems for the local government’s environmental protection performance, constructing environmental regulation mechanisms involving the government, market and society, and formulating the incentive and restraint policies for the participants in the third-party soil pollution control.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide empirical evidence about the influence of the size of local government, the quality of local government financial statements, the level of local government response to the disclosure of financial information and the local political environment on the transparency of local government in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach The study sample consisted of 34 regional governments (provinces) in Indonesia in 2016, using purposive sampling and multiple regression analysis. Findings The results showed that the quality of financial reporting through the audit opinion and political environment have a significant positive effect on the transparency of local government in Indonesia. On the other hand, the size of the local government and local government response rate on the regulation do not affect the transparency of local government in Indonesia. Originality/value The agency, legitimacy and institutional theory have an important role in the underlying local government transparency practices in Indonesia. The results of this study should be used as the basis of thought and study to determine the factors that affect the performance of local governments from the financial and non-financial aspects.

Overdue financial statements reporting, more specifically audit delay, can cause losses in its capacity in decision making. We investigate the effects of auditor characteristics on local governments’ audit delay by studying 127 Indonesian local governments. We find that auditor professional proficiency and auditor educational background have significant effect on the audit delay of local government financial statements. Our results also indicate the intersection of some auditor characteristics in affecting audit delay. Our findings mainly suggest that the auditor professional proficiency should be improved to shrink audit delay.
