In the Corruption Perception Index 2019, Indonesia ranks 90th among 180 countries (Transparency International, 2020). Indonesia still among the lowest rank in the corruption index. This index shows that corruption is an important issue for Indonesia. Therefore, the study aims at examining the determinants of corruption in Indonesia.

It is expected that local governments can use resources for the improvement of the wealth of the citizens. Further, the local government has a responsibility for using the resources. However, there are cases regarding corruption in local government in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data from local government financial statements to search the corruption indication, level of fiscal decentralization, and accountability. The study’s sample consists of 94 districts/cities on Java during the 2013-2015 period. The dependent variable in this study is an indication of corruption. Furthermore, the study divided corruption into three aspects: regional losses, potential regional losses, and revenue deficiency. The independent variables in this study were fiscal decentralization and accountability. This study uses multiple linear regression models to test the effect of fiscal decentralization and accountability on Indonesia’s corruption indicator. The result of the study shows that fiscal decentralization has a negative impact on corruption indication. The higher degree of fiscal decentralization minimizes the corruption indication in Java island. Meanwhile, fiscal decentralization has a negative effect on regional losses and revenue deficiency. Accountability has no significant on corruption indication. However, accountability has a negative impact on regional losses.

This study aims to find out several factors that affect the transparency of local governments after the enactment of Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning the Freedom of Information Act. This research focuses on the practice of the publication of local government financial statements and information about the local budget (APBD) on the website of each local government. The identified factors (independent variables) are accountability, regional potential and regional assets. In addition to knowing the partial effect of the independent variables on dependent variables, this study also aims to determine whether the accountability, regional potential, and regional assets simultaneously influence the transparency of regional government. The population of this study is 28  local governments in the province of West Java during the period of 2016 – 2018. Thus,  the total number of samples is 84 . The type of data is secondary data. The analytical tool used is SPSS 24 for windows software. The analytical method is  logistic regression analysis with a significance level of 5% The results show that accountability, regional potential and regional assets simultaneously  influence the transparency of local government. The accountability variable that is proxied into audit opinion does not affect the transparency of local government. This means that the WTP opinion obtained by the regional government does not encourage the regional government to practice the publication of financial statements and APBD information on the respective regional government website. Furthermore, regional potential variables significantly influence the transparency of local governments. The higher regional potential, the greater the supervision of the community regarding the management of the region’s potential is. This encourages the regional government to be more transparent with its financial statements. The regional asset variable does not significantly influence regional transparency. This shows that high regional fixed assets does not directly make regional governments more transparent in disclosing their financial statement to the public.   Key words        : Accountability, Regional potential, Regional Asset, Publication, Transparency, Website

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of fiscal decentralization on inequality between regions in the Bali Province. Specifically, this research aims to examine the moderating effect of contingent factors, such as regional spending, private investment, and general allocation funds, on fiscal decentralization. Secondary data published on the local government/municipal government website and Bali provincial statistics agency were used. Data were analyzed using moderated regression analysis techniques. Results conclude that fiscal decentralization has no significant negative effect on inequality between regions. Both regional expenditures and general allocation funds are unable to moderate the negative effect of fiscal decentralization on inequality between regions. On the other hand, private investment moderates the negative effect of fiscal decentralization on inequality between regions. Keywords: fiscal decentralization, inequality between regions/cities, regional spending, private investment, general allocation funds.
