Summary
Agency theory arises because of the relationship between the agent and the principal. The government that acts as an agent or manager of government must determine certain strategies in order to provide the best service to the public. Those who act as principals are the people who are represented by the DPRD. The DPRD, which acts to oversee the running of the government, must ensure that the budget is used effectively and efficiently. With this difference in interests, the process of preparing and changing the budget, especially in expenditure posts, often causes debate between the government and the DPRD. High fiscal stress will trigger changes in spending or expenditure changes due to spending growth from the previous year
