Implementation of Local Government Information Systems in Improving Financial Management Accountability at BPKAD Biak Numfor Regency

Abstract

The implementation of e-government, particularly in municipal finance administration, has been greatly aided by information technologies.  Information technology assists local governments in gathering data and information for financial reporting. For example, online payments allow for the payment of taxes and other levies, and automated recording facilitates the real-time recording of financial transactions.  In order to conduct this research, the researcher used information system theory, which has four dimensions—organization, management, technology, and expertise—as stated by Laudon and Laudon 2005: (99–144). Financial reports that are published online and easily accessible by the public also increase public trust in government and reduce administrative complexity. This study aims to ascertain the Biak Numfor Regency Government's application, impediments, and efforts to implement SIPD in financial management at BPKAD Biak Numfor Regency, which has been readjusted to the Minister of Home Affairs' Regulation Number 70 of 2019 concerning Local Government Information Systems.  In order to extract general truths from occurrences or happenings, this study employs descriptive qualitative research methodologies using inductive data.  Researchers use data gathered from observation, interviews, or document analysis to describe events or occurrences in detail
