Abstract:

Performance accountability plays an important role in good governance, but not all local governments in Indonesia have implemented it well. Currently, the Indonesian government is starting to focus on implementing risk management and corruption control by implementing an evaluation of the implementation of these two things beginning in 2021. In addition, public monitoring is also increasingly important, as seen from the increasing number of people daring to express their opinions about government performance through social media. For this reason, this study examines the effect of risk management, corruption control, and public monitoring in improving government performance accountability, which has rarely been studied. Secondary data was obtained from the Ministry of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform, the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency, the Statistics Indonesia, the Supreme Audit Agency, and the Ministry of Home Affairs. The sample used is district/city governments in Indonesia in 2021 and 2022 with a total of 961 observations. The analytical tool used is panel data multiple linear regression using E-views 12. The results show that risk management and public monitoring positively affect government performance accountability, while corruption control has no effect. This research can be a consideration and input for local governments to improve understanding and implementation of risk management further and increase the effectiveness of corruption control by making effective policies that are not just a formality and implementing them optimally, and for the public to be more actively involved in development and monitoring government performance so that government performance accountability increases.
