This study aims to analyze the contribution of Regional Original Revenue (PAD) sources, the growth of PAD, and the level of regional fiscal independence in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency during the 2017–2024 period. The PAD sources examined include local taxes, regional retributions, returns from separated regional assets, and other legitimate PAD. The data used in this study are secondary data in the form of Budget Realization Reports (LRA) of Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency for the period 2017–2024, obtained from the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Tanjung Jabung Barat and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance. This research employs a quantitative descriptive approach. The analytical techniques used include contribution analysis of PAD sources (local taxes, regional retributions, returns from separated regional assets, and other legitimate PAD), PAD growth analysis, and fiscal independence ratio analysis. The results indicate that PAD is predominantly contributed by other legitimate PAD, accounting for 62.54% of total PAD, followed by local taxes contributing 26.06%, while regional retributions and returns from separated regional assets contribute relatively low proportions. The growth of PAD during the study period shows fluctuations influenced by economic conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the level of fiscal independence in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency is categorized as very low, as reflected in the high dependence on transfer funds from the central government and other governmental assistance.

This study is intended to analyze the implementation of the value for money approach in assessing financial performance at RSUD Kota Tangerang during the period of 2022–2024. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data derived from budget realization reports. This analysis carried out using three main ratios: economy, efficiency, and effectiveness. The findings show that the hospital’s financial performance is categorized as economical, as reflected by economy ratios under 100% throughout the observed year. In terms of effectiveness, performance was considered effective in 2022 and 2023 but declined in 2024, indicating that the revenue target was not fully achieved. Meanwhile, efficiency performance remains suboptimal, as efficiency ratios exceed 100%, suggesting that the costs incurred are higher than the revenue generated. Overall, the hospital demonstrates the ability to manage its budget economically and achieve revenue targets, but still faces challenges in improving resource efficiency. Therefore, efforts are needed to optimize cost management and enhance service productivity to achieve a balance among economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in line with the value for money principles.

This study aims to examine the level of regional financial independence and various financial ratios in assessing the performance of regency and city governments in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) for the 2019–2024 period. The method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative data in the form of Budget Realization Reports (LRA). Performance measurement was conducted through several key indicators, including independence, effectiveness, efficiency, and growth ratios. The results indicate that the level of fiscal independence remains relatively low, characterized by a high dependency on transfer funds from the central government. On the other hand, the effectiveness ratio shows good achievement, as most regions were able to meet their revenue targets, particularly from Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD). However, the efficiency of expenditure management remains uneven across regions. Furthermore, the revenue growth ratio shows fluctuations influenced by economic conditions, including the impact of the pandemic. Overall, regional financial performance still needs to be improved, especially in strengthening fiscal independence and optimizing PAD potential.

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of the East Java Provincial Government based on the Budget Realization Report (LRA) for the 2022–2024 period. This study is important to assess the effectiveness of revenue achievement and the efficiency of regional expenditure management. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with secondary data in the form of Budget Realization Reports obtained through documentation techniques. Data analysis was performed using financial ratio analysis, namely effectiveness and efficiency ratios. The results show that the revenue performance of the East Java Provincial Government is in the highly effective category, as reflected in the realization of revenue that was able to reach and even exceed the budget target. However, regional expenditure performance is still considered inefficient because the realization of expenditure is close to the set budget. The conclusion of this study shows that even though revenue optimization has been achieved, the local government still needs to improve expenditure control so that regional financial management becomes more efficient in the future.

This study aims to measure the financial performance of the Government of West Java Province during the 2020–2024 period based on the analysis of the audited Budget Realization Reports. The research uses a descriptive quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from the Regional Financial Statements. Financial performance is measured through several ratios, namely the effectiveness ratio of Regional Original Revenue, regional financial efficiency ratio, regional financial independence ratio, and expenditure harmony ratio. The results show that the effectiveness of Regional Original Revenue fluctuated, with effective performance only in 2022 and 2024, while in other years it was categorized as ineffective. The efficiency ratio also indicated inconsistency, where inefficiency occurred in 2020, 2021, and 2023, and efficiency was achieved in 2022 and 2024. The regional financial independence ratio showed a relatively high level, reflecting low dependence on central government transfers, although there was a slight decline in 2023–2024. The expenditure harmony ratio indicated that budget allocation was still dominated by operational expenditure compared to capital expenditure. The findings imply the need for improving revenue optimization and more balanced expenditure allocation to support sustainable regional development.

Regional government financial performance is a strategic indicator for assessing the success of regional autonomy implementation, particularly in managing public finances in an effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable manner. This study aims to analyze the financial performance of the Government of West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) during the 2018–2022 period using a regional financial ratio analysis approach. The research employs a descriptive quantitative method utilizing secondary data obtained from the Budget Realization Reports (LRA) and the Regional Government Financial Statements (LKPD) that have been audited by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK). The analysis is conducted by calculating regional financial ratios, including the financial independence ratio, the effectiveness ratio of Regional Original Revenue (PAD), the efficiency ratio of regional finances, the activity ratio (expenditure harmony), and the revenue growth ratio. The results indicate that the financial performance of the Government of West Nusa Tenggara Province has generally improved. The regional financial independence ratio falls within the participatory category with an average value of 57.81%, reflecting a gradual reduction in dependence on central government transfer revenues, particularly in 2022. The effectiveness ratio of PAD is categorized as moderately effective, with an average of 92.84%, although it fluctuates due to increases in revenue targets that were not fully matched by actual revenue realization. The regional financial efficiency ratio consistently remains in the efficient category, indicating the local government’s ability to control expenditures relative to revenues. Furthermore, the activity ratio analysis shows a shift in expenditure composition from operating expenditure toward capital expenditure, indicating an increased orientation toward development and long-term investment. The growth ratio reveals a significant increase in PAD in 2022, accompanied by a decline in transfer revenue growth.

This study aims to assess the financial performance of the Sukoharjo Regency Government during the 2023-2024 period by employing cash flow statements as the primary analytical tool. Cash flow statements are considered essential as they provide a clear picture of liquidity conditions and the actual capacity of local governments to manage cash inflows and outflows. This research applies a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from audited Budget Realization Reports and Cash Flow Statements. Financial performance is evaluated through revenue effectiveness ratios and expenditure efficiency ratios as key indicators of fiscal management. The results indicate that regional revenue realization consistently exceeded the established targets throughout the study period, placing revenue performance in the very effective category. This finding reflects the local government’s ability to maximize revenue potential during the post-pandemic economic recovery phase. However, the analysis of expenditure efficiency reveals that spending management has not yet reached an optimal level, as expenditure realization remained close to the allocated budget limits. These findings demonstrate that strong revenue performance does not necessarily correspond with efficient expenditure control. Consequently, local government financial performance should be evaluated comprehensively by integrating both revenue effectiveness and expenditure efficiency perspectives. This study contributes empirically to public sector accounting literature and offers practical insights for policymakers to strengthen budget control mechanisms and promote sustainable financial management at the regional level.    

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of the Medan City Government based on six key indicators: (1) growth ratio, (2) degree of fiscal decentralization ratio, (3) regional financial dependency ratio, (4) regional financial independence ratio, (5) regional original revenue (PAD) effectiveness ratio, and (6) regional financial efficiency ratio. The research employs a quantitative descriptive method using secondary data obtained from the Medan City Government’s budget realization reports over the study period. The analysis results indicate that the financial performance of the Medan City Government shows fluctuations across several aspects. The growth ratio reveals an unstable trend, indicating inconsistency in the increase of revenue and expenditure. The degree of fiscal decentralization ratio is 36.66%, suggesting a moderate contribution of PAD to total regional income. The regional financial dependency ratio stands at 61.64%, while the financial independence ratio reaches 59.54%. The PAD effectiveness ratio of 81.36% reflects fairly effective revenue management, and the financial efficiency ratio of 98.44% indicates that financial management has been carried out efficiently. Overall, these findings demonstrate that while Medan City’s financial performance is relatively sound, there remains room for improving fiscal independence and stability.

This study aims to analyze how internal strategies and external challenges can influence the achievement of Regional Original Revenue targets at the Laboratory Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) of the Public Works and Public Housing Agency (Dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat) of Cilacap Regency. The research object is the performance of the Laboratory Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD), a technical unit providing construction material testing services, which directly contributes to Regional Original Revenue in Cilacap Regency. The qualitative approach employed a case study method, and data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation. The sample in this study was obtained purposively. The results indicate that internal strategies focused on superior testing methods such as core drilling, abrasion, and concrete compressive strength have been conducted. However, limited equipment, human resources, and the lack of accreditation are major obstacles. On the other hand, external challenges include the lack of updated Regional Regulation tariff regulations, the absence of formal obligations for the use of laboratory services for regional budget projects, and a saturated local market. These findings provide important implications for the Laboratory Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) in emphasizing policy revisions, increasing internal capacity, and strengthening inter-agency coordination to increase Regional Original Revenue realization.

The SWOT Analysis employs the S-T strategy, which leverages internal strengths to counter external threats.

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.

This study aims to measure the financial performance of the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Lamongan Regency in 2019–2023 based on the Value for Money concept which includes the principles of economy, efficiency, and effectiveness. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach, collecting primary data through interviews and observations and secondary data from the Budget Realization Report (LRA) and other supporting documents. The results of the ratio analysis show that the management of regional spending during this period is classified as economical with an average ratio of 93.61%, and balanced efficient with an average efficiency ratio of 100.70%. However, the effectiveness of regional revenue is still fluctuating and mostly ineffective, mainly due to the low realization of revenue from taxes, levies, and grants. The implications of this study emphasize the need to increase the utilization of regional potential and revenue management so that financial targets can be achieved optimally, so that public services and regional development can run more effectively and sustainably.
