Purpose: This research aims to determine and analyze the influence of apparatus competency, internal control systems, and information technology on village government accountability in managing village fund allocations. Research Design and Methodology: The data analysis method that will be carried out consists of descriptive statistical analysis, validity test, reliability test, classical assumption test, and hypothesis testing through multiple linear regression analysis, t test and f test. Findings and Discussion: The research results show that apparatus competency has a negative and insignificant effect on village government accountability in managing village fund allocation. Meanwhile, the internal control system and information technology positively and significantly affect village government accountability in managing village fund allocations. Implications: The practical implication of the results of this research is the need for serious attention to increasing competence, implementing an effective internal control system, and optimizing the use of information technology in managing village funds.
