DETERMINAN PUBLIKASI LAPORAN KEUANGAN PEMERINTAH DAERAH MELALUI INTERNET ( STUDI PADA PEMERINTAH DAERAH TINGKAT PROVINSI DI INDONESIA TAHUN 2013- 2014)
Abstract
This study discusses the influence of political competition, leverage, local government
size, the audit opinion, complexity of the local government, human resources and
leadership style to the publication of Local Government Financial Report (LKPD)
through internet in Indonesia. Following the Instruction of Minister of Home Affairs
Number 188.52 / 1797 / SJ of 2012 on Transparency of Local Budget Management,
local governments are required to be transparent with the publication of the financial
statements on the Internet. This is consistent with the stewardship theory which states
that the asymmetry information between the Local Government (steward) and
community (principal) can be trimmed with financial management that is transparent
and accountable. Samples from this study are 34 provincial local governments
selected by saturated sample method and analyzed using multiple regression. The
results of this study prove that the Political Competition and Human Resources have
influence on publication of Local Government Financial Report through Internet The
study also proved that leverage, the size of government, the audit opinion, the
complexity of government and leadership style does not affect the publication of
Local Government Financial Report through internet. For local government is
expected to pay more attention to the disclosure of financial statements through the
internet.
