This study aims to analyze the implementation of Good Governance principles, including accountability, transparency, and participation in the management of Village Funds in Tambaksari Kidul Village, Kembaran Subdistrict, Banyumas Regency. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that accountability in village financial reporting has been carried out in accordance with regulations, although there are still delays in reporting. Transparency in budgeting and the implementation of village funds has been conducted through village meetings and village information media, but has not yet reached the stage of impact evaluation. Community participation is quite active in planning and implementation, but minimal in the evaluation stage. Challenges faced include limited human resources, infrastructure, and low community participation. Strengthening human resource capacity, improving information transparency, and optimizing inclusive village meetings are needed to support better village fund management.

Transparent, accountable, and efficient village financial management is an important element in supporting sustainable village development. However, village financial management often faces various challenges, such as limited human resources, technological infrastructure, and the risk of manual errors in preparing financial reports. In an effort to overcome these challenges, the application of computerized applications such as the Village Financial System (Siskeudes) is a relevant solution. This study aims to identify the role of computerized applications in improving the quality of the preparation of village financial reports, reveal the perceived benefits, and explore the constraints and strategies for optimizing implementation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach by collecting data through interviews, observations, and document analysis in several villages that have used computerized applications. The results show that the use of computerized applications significantly improves the efficiency of the financial administration process, reduces recording errors, and produces financial reports that are more accurate and in accordance with government accounting standards. In addition, the application supports transparency and accountability of village financial management through easy access to data for stakeholders. Obstacles faced include the low digital literacy of village officials, limited technological infrastructure, and resistance to the application.
