Assessment of Financial Performance for Local Government is an important thing to do to help improve the performance of government in the management of the Regional Budget (APBD) in a sustainable manner and to achieve the public accountability that is transparent and accountable. Local Government Financial performance is the ability of an area to explore and manage financial resources native to the area to meet their needs in order to support the passage of the government system, service to the community and regional development. Local government still relies on the transfer of funds than local revenue to finance government activities. Any delays in disbursement of funds transfers by the central government as a barrier to finance programs and activities that have been set in the budget. This study aimed to examine the effect of fiscal decentralization, fiscal stress and intergovernmental revenue on the financial performance of local governments in the province of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). This study uses panel data from 9 regencies / cities and one province for 10 years (2006-2015). Analysis using panel data regression with Fixed Effect Model estimation method (FEM). The results showed that the decentralization of expenditure and fiscal stress has positive and significant effect on the financial performance of local governments while decentralization of revenue and intergovernmental revenue has significant and negative effect on the financial performance of local governments. This research is expected to provide input and benefit to the Local Government as policy makers in order to increase the potential of revenue derived from taxes, charges and the availability of natural resources are adequate to serve as a source of income and more attention to the allocation of sources of income into spending that oriented to the fulfillment of public service
T he implementation of regional autonomy through fiscal decentralization scheme has not been able to exploit regional income that, in the long run, can support the success of the region in implementing the regional autonomy. With regard to such a problem, this research aims at examining the financial performance of the regional government in Sikka regency through ratio analysis towards the regional finance (financial independence ratio, effectiveness ratio, efficiency ratio, compatibility ratio, and growth ratio). This descriptive quantitative research applies document study for the data collection method. The data of this study were obtained through documentation method. The results of the analysis illustrate that the financial independence of Sikka Regency is still low, and it is categorized into instructive relationship pattern. Meanwhile, its own- source revenue is very effective, and its regional tax is efficient. However, the regional expenditure shows lack of compatibility in terms of its direct and indirect expenditures towards the total expenditure of the region. In addition, the regional income and expenditure growths also persistently fluctuate. K e ywords: Fiscal Decentralization, Regional Government Financial Ratio
Without much preparation, Indonesia, in 2000, at a stroke replaced the previous system of centralized government and development planning with a wide range of decentralization programs. The reforms gave greater authority, political power, and financial resources directly to regencies and municipalities, bypassing the provinces. The powers transferred include those of executing a wide range of responsibilities in the areas of health, primary and middle-level education, public works, environment, communication, transport, agriculture, manufacturing, and other economic sectors. At the same time, the government replaced the antiquated cash-based, single-entry system of public finance with a modern double-entry accounting system that uses a single treasury account; is performance based; and has transparent management of the public treasury, tight expenditure and financial controls with performance indicators, computerized reporting, and a tightly scheduled auditing system. On the positive side, unlike in many developing and transition countries, the decentralization program in Indonesia has not caused major political or economic problems. However, the decentralization program was ill prepared and not carried out in a logical order for two reasons. First, the capacity of subnational governments to produce public and private goods, increase productivity and employment, and promote economic growth in their jurisdictions, was not increased. Because of the long tradition of centralization, local government never built the capacity to carry out economic planning and undertake initiatives to promote local economic growth. Before the reform, the local governments had mainly functioned as implementing agencies of national policies and programs. Second, the number of good financial managers, as required by the new laws of public treasury and auditing, was also limited and needed to be trained. The rising revenues of local governments do not follow their increasing government functions to promote economic development that could potentially cause fiscal imbalances.

The article analyses the directions of tax management in the context of budgetary decentralization. The paper aims to research tax management in the system of forming local budgets in the conditions of financial resources decentralization and analyze the current tools of tax management on the local level. In spite of a great number of researches, the issue of tax management in strengthening financial independence of local budgets is not enough studied; therefore, to reach financial independence of local communities it is necessary to adopt new normative and legal acts concerning decentralization of financial resources taking into account tax potential of each territorial community. The lack of financial resources causes the problem of optimal redistribution of power among central and local authorities. The author proposes the new mechanisms of solving the current problems on the example of local budget of the city of Uzgorod to contribute budgetary decentralization. The principal idea while conducting the reform of the budgetary process must be the adoption of certain changes in budgetary legislation which have to shift the mechanisms of budgetary financing and equating local budgets. The author concludes that the progressive vector of well-being increasing completely depends on the developed concept of regional economic policy. The article pays attention to the importance of taking into account the tax potential of a territory and characterizes the directions of strengthening financial independence of local government.
Abstract This study aims at identifying the main obstacles to optimizing the provision of public services to the districts in the island areas and to discussing the prototype model of asymmetric decentralization in providing public services to the island areas. This study was conducted in three districts of small islands at the Tual city of Maluku province namely the districts of Kur Island, South Kur Island, and Tayando Tam island. The data were collected through triangulation of sources and methods. The informants were selected based on consideration of the position and competence of the required information. The methods were the in-depth interview, observation, documentation, and the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results showed that there were three main obstacles in providing public services to the districts in the island areas. Firstly, the partial authority of Mayor of Tual city had not given yet to the Head of Districts based on the Article 226 of Law No. 23 in 2014 about Regional Government. Secondly, the transportation for the islands was inadequacy and the natural conditions were challenging that obstructed the mobility of citizens to access the service center and it was difficult for officers to reach people who want to be served. Thirdly, the lack of resources (human resources, funds, and facilities) in some districts at the island areas. To overcome those problems, specific autonomous was required by island province that concerned different treatment settings to the districts within the island areas namely the expansion of authority, the increase in the position, and the development of resources and the organizational capacity and districts management.

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.
Implementation of regional autonomy as the government's efforts for the welfare society in accordance with the characteristic of each region. Implementation of the fiscal decentralization recurring phenomenon is the phenomenon of flypaper effect. Flypaper effect occurs when the local government responded to the regional expenditure larger than the central government transfer revenue. The purpose of research is to prove the phenomenon of flypaper in East Java Province period 2011-2015. This research uses quantitative analysis with a population of 29 districts and 9 cities in East Java province. Data were analyzed using panel data regression analysis with Eviews statistical test equipment. The result showed that regional revenue positively affects regional expenditure, general allocation fund positively affects regional expenditure, financing budget surplus positively affects regional expenditure, regional revenue positively effect on growth, positive effect on the regional expenditure growth at district/city in East Java Province.

In the context of financial relations between the central and local governments, the central government has now allocated a Balancing Fund (Dana Perimbangan) to finance local needs in order to support the implementation of decentralization of governance and development as a form of political will to reform and democratize. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DAK allocation for financial year 2003-2013 and to analyze the impact of Dana Alokasi Khusus (DAK) allocation from 2003 to 2013 on various development indicators in the regions (districts / cities). DAK transfer design is the main cause of various issues related to the implementation of DAK. In addition, the problem of DAK allocation mechanisms in the determination of programs and activities, the calculation and use of DAK, budgeting and disbursement of DAK, reporting and monitoring and evaluation of DAK. DAK, as one type of Balancing Fund, has a positive impact on the fiscal capacity of the region, especially the district /city. In addition to regional fiscal capacity, DAK also plays a role in reducing the level of fiscal gap between districts / cities during the period 2003-2007. The result show that DAK allocation (in total) is not significant influence to PDRB per capita of Regency / City. In conclusion, DAK has not had a significant impact on public services and public welfare. This is because the direction of using DAK is not directly used to "build", but only to "maintain". Therefore, DAK is considered not effective enough in an effort to achieve the national priority target.

Recently, fiscal decentralization, which involves the devolution of government fiscal responsibilities to lower levels of government, has been discussed in many developed and developing countries. In particular, the effect of fiscal decentralization on economic growth is a key issue in recent theoretical and empirical studies in public finance. The empirical evidences produce mixed results. In this study, the effect of fiscal decentralization on economic growth in a sample of several provinces will be explored. A province study offers several advantages: a bigger sample of data is available for province than for Indonesia; and panel data estimation is able to adjust the cultural, historical, and institutional differences and also to capture the local heterogeneities. By adopting a production-function-based estimation framework, the empirical estimation is done on a sample of cross section data that comprises of 26 province governments and the time series yearly data from 1992 to 2002. The Generalized Least Square method is used to test these data. The results indicate that: first, the fiscal decentralization variables (expenditure indicator) show the positive and significant coefficients, while, the revenue indicator shows the negative relationship with economic growth. Hence, several policy implications can be derived; i.e, the local government should be able: to increase their non taxes revenues; to create conducive conditions for capital inflows; and to develop a clear framework for fiscal decentralization assignment such as income redistribution and borrowingJEL classification: E60; E62; H62; H63; 04Keywords: province government financing; fiscal decentralization;localautonomy;fiscal policy; economic growth; cross-province data;
The dichotomy between pay-as-you-go (taxation financing) and pay-as-you-use (debt financing) methods of financing municipal projects, etc, is the area of concern in this paper. While there arc advantaees and disadvantages to both forms, debt financing carries a considerable amount of baggage known as interest. Interest or usury has been a concern of economic and religious thinkers through the ages. Given the potentially negative effect this has on the debtor, Indonesia is forewarned as it decentralizes fiscal administration to local governments. Besides reliance on taxation financing, an alternative public debt option is highlighted.
