The implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia aims to reduce regional dependence on the central government. In this context, local governments are expected to enhance their own-source revenue sources. In reality, not all regions are capable of becoming fully independent. The dependency of regencies and cities in Bali Province indicates that local governments have not yet optimized their regional potential to increase Regional Original Revenue (PAD). This dependency affects their fiscal independence and overall financial performance. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of PAD, transfer revenue, and regional expenditure on financial performance from the perspective of agency theory. The study was conducted across all regencies and cities in Bali Province, using secondary data sourced from the budget realization reports obtained from each local Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD). The study included 9 regencies/cities with 45 observations. A census sampling method was applied, where the entire population was used as the sample. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that PAD and transfer revenue have a positive effect on financial performance, while regional expenditure has a negative effect. It is recommended that local governments in Bali optimize their PAD by strengthening the tax sector, service charges, and asset management to improve fiscal independence.

Cooperatives play a crucial role as business entities in enhancing the people's economy in Indonesia. Rooted in the principles of kinship and mutual cooperation, cooperatives aim to improve the welfare of their members and society at large, rather than merely pursuing profit. This study employs a descriptive analysis method to examine the role of cooperatives as a pillar of the people's economy, focusing on their contributions to microeconomic empowerment, job creation, and strengthening community purchasing power. The findings indicate that cooperatives significantly contribute to local economic growth, particularly through synergy with MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), as well as by providing members with access to capital and training. However, challenges such as weak management, low financial literacy, and inadequate technological adaptation still hinder the optimization of cooperatives' roles. On the other hand, sharia cooperatives also emphasize social functions based on principles of justice and social responsibility. To enhance the contribution of cooperatives, institutional strengthening, professional management, and regulatory support from the government are required. Thus, cooperatives remain relevant as instruments for inclusive and sustainable economic development in Indonesia.
