Summary
The accounting system applied to public organizations (public sector accounting) is constantly evolving in accordance with the dynamics of its environment. One part of the reform of the public accounting system is the reform of the government accounting system, namely the change from cash accounting basis to accrual accounting basis With this change, it is hoped that it will increase transparency and accountability in the management and reporting of government finances and follow international best practices that are adapted to the conditions of each country. The purpose of government financial reporting is to provide information that is useful for decision making, and to demonstrate the reporting entity's accountability for the resources entrusted to it. Financial statements present information about the financial position, budget realization, budget balance, cash flow, operating results and changes in equity of a reporting entity that is useful for users in evaluating decisions regarding resource allocation (Mahmudi, 2011: 276). It is hoped that the Regional Government Financial Reports are on par with international financial reports
