Abstract

Decentralization is one of the authorities given to the region in managing their own household. Villages are considered as areas that have an important role in assessing the success of a state. For that is needed to be a independence for the village in managing its own finance. One of the authorities is trough the village fund allocation. The village fund allocation is the financial gain of the village from the district trough the village stash. The village fund allocation is very important because the policy of the village fund allocation is in line with the regional autonomy agenda where the village is the basis of Decentralization. However, in the course of the village fund allocation still found the problems of not achieving the objectives of its in financing the empowerment and development of the village, because the village fund allocation is only used as a source of income for the village head and village apparatuses plus no control of the village community. For that, its needed the supervision of the village community itself.
