1. INTRODUCTION
Regional governments are required to prepare and present financial reports as a form of
accountability for implementing the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget. These
regulations are contained in the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8
of 2006 concerning Financial Reporting and Performance of Government Agencies. Financial
reports are also a form of transparency and accountability of local governments to other parties.
Financial reports are structured reports regarding the financial position and transactions carried
out by a reporting entity. Government financial reporting in Indonesia becomes
This is an interesting thing to study further, because many irregularities were found by the
Supreme Audit Agency in carrying out audits of government financial reports, both from the
aspect of the internal control system and compliance with legislation. Regional governments use
financial reports as a medium to be accountable for their financial performance to the public , the
financial report describes the activities that have been achieved in connection with the use of the
budget with measurable quantity and quality so that it can explain the performance and
responsibility for managing the financial budget during a certain period.
Government Regulation Number 71 of 2010 explains that those who use government financial
reports are: the public, people's representatives, supervisory institutions, audit institutions, those
who play a role or give in a certain stage of investment, loans and donations, investments, and the
government. Government Regulation Number 71 of 2010 states that the quality characteristics of
a government financial report are a normative prerequisite that is really needed so that
government financial reports can provide the desired quality, namely relevant, reliable,
comparable and understandable. Therefore, regional governments are responsible for presenting
and reporting quality Regional Government Financial Reports (LKPD).
One way to fulfill the characteristics of reliable financial reports is to assess regional
government financial reports (LKPD) every year by the Financial Audit Agency (BPK). The
audit report on the government's financial statements contains an opinion. Opinion is an auditor's
professional statement regarding the fairness of financial information presented in financial
reports based on criteria of conformity with government accounting standards, adequacy of
disclosure (adequate disclosures), compliance with laws and regulations, and the effectiveness
of the internal control system. There are 4 (four) types of opinions that can be given by
examiners, namely unqualified opinion, qualified opinion with exceptions, unfair opinion, and no
opinion (Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 of 2004). Representative fairness is
explained through opinions by comparing the suitability criteria between financial reports and
accounting standards set by regional governments. Existing regulations are then applied in the
presentation of financial reports, all disclosures and compliance with statutory regulations, and
the efficiency of internal control can produce the desired and planned quality of financial reports
(Badera, 2017). Based on the BPK's examination of the Lumajang Regency LKPD for 2018 –
2022, Lumajang Regency received WTP opinions consecutively. Since the Lumajang Regency
government implemented a full accrual basis from 2015 to 2022. Even though Lumajang
Regency received a WTP opinion on its financial reports, the BPK still found several problems
that received full attention, such as: land assets that did not yet have certificates, some of which
were even controlled by other parties. , Updating taxpayer data is inadequate, the imposition of
late fines is not determined and the imposition of taxes is not in an orderly manner, giving rise to
a potential shortfall in BPHTB revenue in 2022 amounting to Rp. 285,712,390.00, Tax fines
receivable for FY 2022 have not been determined and the management of PBB P2 is not orderly
resulting in the loss potential income from tax fines receivables amounting to IDR
8,865,860,438.96, the Lumajang Regency Government has not yet established an Investment
Property Accounting policy so that the classification of types of assets that fall into the
investment property category on the balance sheet cannot be disclosed optimally in terms of
characteristics and recognition methodology. (LHP BPK RI on System
Internal Control and Compliance with Provisions of Legislative Regulations Number:
59.B/LHP/XVIII.SBY/05/2023).
Phenomena that occur in the Lumajang Regency SKPD include, among other things, the
SKPD is still not on time in submitting financial reports to the BPKD as PPKD due to a lack of
competence in SKPD accounting officers, a lack of understanding of the operation of the
Regional Financial Management Information System (SIPKD) used in regional financial
administration in Lumajang Regency. by treasurers and accounting officers and a lack of order in
regional financial management. In fulfilling the goals and objectives of regional apparatus, one of
the indicators in improving the quality of regional financial management is achieving a WTP
BPK opinion, a good Regional Financial Management Index and accuracy in submitting regional
government financial reports to the Republic of Indonesia BPK (LKJ BPKD Attachment to Form
E 81 of 2023) .
Many studies have been carried out on the quality of financial reports, including Aldy Pratama
Putra (2022), who found that the implementation of accounting information systems, internal
control systems, human resource competence has an effect on the quality of OPD financial reports
in Pekabbaru City. Diana Puspita, Fadli, Halimatusyadiah (2020) found that the Quality of Human
Resources, Utilization of Information Technology, Understanding of Government Accounting
Standards (SAP), Internal Control Systems had a positive effect on the Quality of Financial
Reports in Seluma Regency. Joni Fernandes, Rilla Yulita (2022) who concluded that human
resource competence and internal control have a significant and influential effect on the quality of
financial reports of Padang City Government Agencies. Based on the background of the problem
described above, the problem that will be studied can be formulated, namely, how does the
implementation of the Accounting Information System affect the quality of the Lumajang
Regency Government's financial reports? How does the Internal Control System affect the quality
of the Lumajang Regency Government's financial reports? , How does Human Resource
Competency influence the Quality of Lumajang Regency Government Financial Reports? The
aim of this research is to determine the effect of the implementation of the Accounting
Information System, internal control system and human resource competency on the quality of the
Lumajang Regency Government Financial Reports.

1. Data Quality Testing
Validity test
Validity test is used to measure whether a questionnaire is valid or not. If the questions in the
questionnaire can reveal several elements that need to be measured, then the questionnaire is said
to be effective.
From the table above, we can see that the results of the calculations were carried out on 10
statement items used for variable X1 (Application of Accounting Information Systems), 8
statement items used for variable X2 (Internal Control System), 8 statement items used for
variable X3 (Human Resource Competence) and 11 statement items used for variable Y (Quality
of Financial Reports) so it can be concluded that
From the statement above it can be declared valid, because the calculated r is > the r table value,
the r table value is 0.2104 with the significance of the 4 variables being less than 0.05, namely sig
0.000.

Based on the table above, the normality test on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov column can be seen that
the value of Asymp.Sig. (2tailed) of 0.20 > 0.05. So it can be concluded that the residual data is
normally distributed. This normality test can also be seen in the graphic distribution of the data in
a normal probability plot. Data is said to be normal if there is a distribution of points around the
diagonal line and the distribution follows the direction of the diagonal line. So if there is a
distribution of points around the diagonal line and the distribution follows the direction of the
diagonal line, the regression model meets the normality assumption. The following is a normal
probability plot graph.
Multicollinearity Test
If the multicollinearity test can be concluded that there are no symptoms of multicollinearity
between the independent variables in this study, the tolerance value for each independent variable
is > 0.10 and the VIF value is < 10 where the tolerance value of X1 (Application of Accounting
Information Systems) is 0.504 which shows that this value is greater than 0.10, X2 (Internal
Control System) is 0.408 which indicates that this value is greater than 0.10, for the VIF tolerance
value X1 (Application of Accounting Information Systems) is 1.985 which shows that this value
is smaller than 10, X2
(Internal Control System) is 2.451 which shows that this value is smaller than 10,

a. Dependent Variable: Quality of Financial Reports
Based on the results of data processing with SPSS, the multiple linear regression equation
obtained is as follows:
Y= 4,071 + 0,241X1 + 0,328X2 + 0,556X3 + e
1. The constant value (α) is 4.071, indicating that without independent variables (understanding
of accounting, use of accounting information systems, implementation of government
accounting standards and internal control systems), the quality of regional financial reports
would be 4.071.
2. The regression coefficient for the Accounting Information System Application variable (X1) is
0.241, this shows that every time there is an increase in the Accounting Information System
Application variable by 1%, the quality of financial reports increases by 0.241.
3. The regression coefficient for the Internal Control System variable (X2) is 0.328, this shows
that every time there is an increase in the Internal Control System variable by 1%, the quality
of financial reports increases by 0.328.
4. The regression coefficient for the Human Resources Competency variable (X3) is 0.556, this
shows that every time there is an increase in the Human Resources Competency variable by
1%, the quality of financial reports increases by 0.556.
0,606 0,597
Based on table 4.7 above, it is known that the R-Square value is 0.606, which means that 60.6%
of the variation in the quality of financial reports can be explained by variations in X1
(Application of Accounting Information Systems), X2 (Internal Control Systems) and X3 (Source
Competence Human Power) simultaneously. Meanwhile, the remaining 39.4% is influenced by
variables from outside the model.

Discussion of Research Results on the Effect of Internal Control Systems on the Quality of
Lumajang Regency Government Financial Reports
The significant value for the Internal Control System variable is 0.004 < 0.05. So it can be
concluded that the Internal Control System has a significant effect on the quality of regional
financial reports. In theory, the results of this research are in line with research by Diana Puspita
et al (2020) which states that the internal control system influences the quality of financial reports.
This shows that the efficiency of leadership in examining accounting records in each SKPD,
effectiveness in analyzing risks completely and comprehensively regarding the possibility of
violations of an accounting system in each SKPD and adequate supervision in accounting practice
activities in each SKPD really need to be emphasized by all SKPD heads in Lumajang Regency
Government agencies in order to maintain the quality of the Lumajang Regency Government's
financial reports in accordance with Government Regulation No. 71 of 2010 which are relevant
and reliable.
Conclusion
Based on the test results and discussion described previously, it can be concluded that the
simultaneous implementation of the accounting information system, internal control system and
human resource competency influences the quality of the Lumajang Regency Government's
financial reports so that the three hypotheses proposed by the author can be accepted.
Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it shows that if the implementation of the
accounting information system, internal control system and human resource competency
possessed by all SKPD in Lumajang Regency is good then the financial reports of the Lumajang
Regency Government will also have quality in accordance with the characteristics mandated in
Government Regulation Number 71 2010, namely relevant, reliable, comparable and
understandable.
Suggestion
1. Employees in Lumajang Regency Government agencies are expected to continue to maintain
and improve their understanding of accounting related to the preparation of financial reports in
accordance with Government Accounting Standards (SAP)
2. BPKD, which has the task and function of fostering accounting, reporting and accountability
for the Lumajang Regency government, is expected to continue to improve guidance and
teaching to employees in charge of regional financial management, especially for accounting
officers and property managers who are closely related to preparing regional government
financial reports.
3. For future researchers, it is recommended to further expand the scope of the objects to be
studied and to re-test this research model by adding other variables that influence the quality of
financial reports.
