This study aims to analyze the process and implications of changes in the General Budget Policy (KUA) and the Temporary Budget Priorities and Ceilings (PPAS) on the preparation of the Revised Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) for the Fiscal Year 2025 at the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Sikka Regency. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using secondary data in the form of planning and budgeting documents as well as internship activity results. The findings indicate that the preparation process of KUA–PPAS has been conducted in accordance with applicable regulations, starting from planning based on RPJMD and RKPD, formulation by the Regional Government Budget Team (TAPD), and discussions with the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), supported by the SIPD system. Changes in KUA–PPAS are influenced by internal factors such as discrepancies in revenue and expenditure realization, program shifts, and the utilization of budget surplus (SiLPA), as well as external factors including central government policy changes, macroeconomic conditions, and emergency situations.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi bagaimana penerapan Standar Akuntansi Pemerintahan (SAP) memengaruhi kualitas laporan keuangan pemerintah daerah. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga menyelidiki peran Sistem Informasi Pemerintahan Daerah (SIPD) sebagai faktor moderasi. Dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling, penelitian kuantitatif ini mengumpulkan 31 responden dari Organisasi Perangkat Daerah (OPD) di bawah pemerintah Kota Medan. Data yang digunakan berasal dari data awal yang dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner. Structural Equation Modeling berbasis Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS), yang dibantu oleh SmartPLS, digunakan untuk melakukan analisis data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan SAP berdampak positif dan signifikan terhadap kualitas laporan keuangan pemerintah daerah, tetapi SIPD tidak dapat mengontrol hubungan antara penggunaan SAP dan kualitas laporan keuangan. Studi ini meningkatkan penelitian teori institusional, terutama tentang bagaimana tekanan regulasi dan normatif membantu meningkatkan kualitas pelaporan keuangan sektor publik dengan menerapkan standar akuntansi. Penelitian ini memiliki manfaat bagi pemerintah daerah untuk meningkatkan konsistensi penerapan SAP dan mengoptimalkan SIPD melalui peningkatan kemampuan sumber daya manusia dan dukungan teknologi informasi. Penelitian ini terbatas pada jumlah sampel yang relatif kecil serta ruang lingkup yang hanya mencakup OPD di satu daerah, sehingga hasil penelitian belum dapat digeneralisasi secara luas.

  The implementation of the Regional Government Information System (RGIS) represents a strategic initiative by the government to achieve transparency and accountability in regional financial management. However, the effectiveness of this system is highly contingent upon the quality of initial data input. This study aimed to analyze the phenomenon of expenditure code input errors at the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Sikka Regency and their subsequent impact on the accuracy of the Budget Realization Report (LRA). Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, this research utilized data collection techniques including participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document verification, conducted during an internship in the Accounting Division of BPKAD Sikka Regency. The findings reveal that misclassification between capital expenditures (CAPEX) and goods and services expenditures (OPEX) occurs frequently. This is primarily attributed to the complexity of account nomenclature and the rigid, "centrally locked" nature of the SIPD system. Consequently, these input errors lead to a distortion of information within the LRA and an overstatement of fixed assets on the Balance Sheet. This study concludes that a stringent document verification mechanism within the Accounting Division plays a pivotal role as an internal control to ensure the integrity and reliability of regional financial reports prior to their publication.

This study aims to analyze the impact of digital innovation on financial management in Purbalingga Regency, focusing on two main systems: the Regional Government Information System (SIPD) and the Village Financial System (SISKEUDES). Digital innovation is considered important to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public financial management (Lips, 2020; Agostino, Bracci, & Steccolini, 2022). The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study supported by in-depth interviews with application users and previous research (Daffa, 2024; Nadaa & Priyanti, 2023). The findings show that the use of SIPD and SISKEUDES has successfully increased transparency and efficiency in financial reporting in Purbalingga through data integration and public access to information. However, technical issues, limited human resources, and lack of inter-agency cooperation remain obstacles. Efforts by the local government, such as routine training, system updates, and digital literacy improvement, have strengthened digital-based financial governance. Overall, this study shows that the success of digital innovation in public financial management is influenced not only by technology but also by institutional readiness, a culture of transparency, and community involvement in overseeing regional financial management.
