Abstract: New Public Management has reformed the financial management of the public sector by adopting approaches from the private sector in order to achieve organizational efficiency and effectiveness (including local and central government finances) and it was the reason behind the implementation of Accrual-based Government Accounting Standards (SAP). The Governmentof Bondowoso also implements accrual-based SAP policy. This study used a qualitative approach by using Strenghts Weaknessess Opportunities Threats (SWOT) analysis in the early stage to describe the strategy and then completed by in depth interview. The informants were 8 (eight) key persons in the Government of Bondowoso with significant roles in achieving the unqualified opinion in implementing the accrual-based SAP. Results show that commitment from the leaders of local government and institutions, financial statements presentation that in line with the SAP, sufficient internal control system, and the follow-up on the State Audit Agency’s recommendations on the local government financial statements are the major strengths in achieving the unqualified opinion of the accrual-based SAP. The opportunities in Strength-Opportunity (SO) strategy are the issuance of various laws and regulations and technical guidance of accrual-based accounting standards by the central government. Keywords: Unqualified Opinion, Accrual Based SAP, SWOT, Strategy.

Local governments in Indonesia based on the applied rules have the obligation to prepare activity implementation reports, one of which is the Local Government Financial Statements. The Indonesian government is currently implementing accrual-based government financial report. However, in the application of accrual-based government financial report there are still many obstacles experienced by the local governments. The implementation of accrual-based financial report is one form of government bureaucracy reform in the field of financial. In 2005, the central government has issued Government Regulation No. 24 year 2005 on Government Accounting Standards (SAP) which regulates the recognition of revenues and expenditures using the cash basis, while for assets, liabilities and equity using the accrual basis. The regulation has been changed to Government Regulation No. 71 year 2010 which enacts accrual-based SAP for both income, expenditure, assets, liabilities and equity by 2015. The central government has devised a strategic step to implement the accrual basis. In order to support the implementation of the accrual basis accounting application, it is necessary to align the competence of the stakeholder employees in the preparation of local government financial statements, considering that the local government financial statements is a benchmark in assessing the performance of the local governments by the central government. The alignment of competence can be done by implementation of competence improvement such as performing training education, technical guidance, socialization and the formation of community of practices.

The European Commission initiated a discussion on the expediency of using the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), based on the IAS/IFRS, as a common base for harmonizing the public sector accounting systems of the member states. However, literature suggests that accounting is not neutral with respect to the economic, social and political dimensions. In the perspective of evolution of the accounting regulation outlined, balanced between accountability, with the need to represent phenomena for reporting pur-poses, and decisionmaking issues, which concentrates on the quantitative importance of the values, the paper aims to analyse the effects of the application of different criteria for the definition of the reporting entity of the local government consolidated financial statements (CFS). The Italian PCA 4/4, the test of control and the financial accountability approaches are examined. The evidence that emerged from the case studies examined identifies several criticalities in the Italian PCA 4/4 and support the thesis that the financial accountability approach is more effective in providing a complete representation of the public resources entrusted to and managed by the group, whereas the control approach better approximates quantification of the group results in terms of central government surveillance. The analysis highlights the importance of the post implementation review period and the opportunity to contextualize the adoption of the consolidated financial statement in the broader spectrum of the accounting harmonization process, participating in the process of definition of the European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS).

Gaps in biodiversity conservation management within the Conservation Area that are the responsibility of the central government and outside the Conservation Areas or as the Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA) which are the authority of the Regional Government, have caused various spatial conflicts between wildlife /wild plants and land management activities. Several obstacles faced by the Local Government to conduct its authority to manage (EEA), caused the number and area of EEA determined by the Local Government to be still low. At present only 703,000 ha are determined from the 67 million ha indicated by EEA. This study aims to overview biodiversity conservation policies by local governments and company perceptions in implementing conservation policies and formulate strategies for optimizing the role of Local Governments. From the results of this study, there has not been found any legal umbrella for the implementation of Law number 23/ 2014 related to the conservation of important ecosystems in the regions. This regulatory vacuum leaves the local government in a dilemma for continuing various conservation programs. By using a SWOT to the internal strategic environment and external stratetegic environment of the Environment and Forestry Service, Bengkulu Province , as well as using an analysis of company perceptions of the conservation policies regulatary , this study has been formulated a “survival strategy” through collaboration between the Central Government, Local Governments and the Private Sector to optimize the role of Local Government’s to establish EEA in the regions.Keywords: Management gaps, Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA), Conservation Areas, SWOT analysis and perception analysis

Cepu Block located between Centre Jawa and East Java. It is known as a rich block because it has a source of oil and gas. Block Cepu, where geographically located between three districts, Blora (Centre Java), Bojonegoro and Tuban (East Java) has given a contribution to national budget (APBN) and respected local government budget (APBD). About 33 per cent of the land of Cepu Block is owned by Blora, 67 per cent owned by Bojonegoro and the rest is owned by Tuban. Ironically, however, although 33 per cent of the Block belongs to Blora, the district does not receive any financial income from the oil exploration. There is no resources share fund from Cepu Block. Moreover, the district has to deal with the negative impacts of exploration activities at the Block Cepu such as damaging of infrastructure, environmental pollution, and social disturbance. Blora District has protested to Centre Government, but so far there is no outcome. Centre Government asked that this problem should be studied first. The central government argue that if it is approved, then there will be domino impact: other districts will do the same like Blora. Blora district is struggling to get equality in resources share fund (dana bagi hasil). Efforts have done, seminars and workshops, lobby to DPD (Upper House) to find a solution. Now the district government is proposing judicial review to constitution court. This research examines the history of Block Cepu. It reveals the history of the block from the colonial era up to the reformation era. Further, the research aims to know how the tension between local government (Blora Government) and central government regarding Blok Cepu oil exploration. The research suggests that there is injustice in the distribution of revenue from the exploration and it is understandable if Blora district government struggle to get proportional revenue sharing.
