corruption, misappropriation of funds, or the use of funds for the benefit of certain
individuals or groups (Maharani & Akbar, 2020).
The community is now increasingly aware of their rights to know how public funds,
including village funds, are managed and used. There is a growing demand from the
community for transparency and participation in decision-making related to the
management of village funds. Technological advances, such as information and
communication systems, can play an important role in increasing accountability for
village fund management. An integrated and open system can help monitor the use of
funds, track spending, and increase transparency. (Asmawati & Basuki, 2019).
Village governments must build a transparent, accountable, and participatory
financial management system to ensure the efficient use of funds by the needs and
interests of the local community.
The Regional Government of Biak Numfor Regency in the 2024 fiscal year realizes
the first phase of village funds to approximately 238 villages spread across Biak Numfor
Regency, carried out by applicable rules and mechanisms. Head" Of the 257 villages in
Biak, we have only realized the first phase of village funds this year for approximately
238 villages, while the rest we are still giving time to complete several documents that
are the main requirements for the distribution of new village funds, hopefully shortly all
the requirements will be completed,". I Putu Wiadnyana said that approximately 20
villages have not received the first phase of village funds this year because they have not
completed several requirements, one of which is the accountability report on the use of
village funds in the previous year.
Research conducted by (Yulianti et al., 2018) States that Competence, Information
Technology, Accounting Systems, and Internal Control have a significant effect on
Village Government Accountability in Managing Village Finance. Meanwhile, the
research conducted by (Estrilia et al 2023), on the Effect of Clarity of Budget Targets, the
Implementation of Accounting Systems and Apparatus Competencies on Village
Financial Management Accountability shows that the results of the research with the 3
variables used have a significant influence on the accountability of village fund
management. However, there are still limitations experienced, namely the independent
variable in this study is only able to affect financial management accountability by 61%
and the remaining 39% is influenced by other variables and is not included in the model.
Therefore, this study will add internal control system variables and conduct this research
again in Yawosi District, North Biak, Biak Numfor Regency.
Based on the formulation of the problem above, the objectives of this study are:
1. To test and analyze the effect of clarity of budget targets on the accountability of
village financial management.
2. To test and analyze the influence of the financial accounting system on the
accountability of village financial management.
3. To test and analyze the influence of village apparatus competence on the accountability
of village financial management.
