Local government will gain prestige if the examination accounting performance of local government gets an unqualified opinion (WTP) from BPK. The opinion shows that the performance of the local government is in accordance with the principle of accountability. However, not all of local governments be able to achieve the predicate of WTP, because indeed to get it is not easy. Therefore, it is necessary for agencies to be the leading sector to assist all OPDs in preparing the accounting performance reports of each agency before the BPK enters, and the agency is the Inspectorate. This research aims to describe the role of Inspectorate in Samarinda City in defending the WTP predicate.Using a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis, in-depth interviews were conducted to officials from the Inspectorate and Regional Financial Management Agency (BPKAD) to validate the data. The conclusions obtained were that the Inspectorate had several roles in maintaining the WTP predicates in Samarinda City, namely: the role of facilitation, guidance, and verification for the OPD, the coordination role for the DPRD, the role of coordination and facilitation for the BPK, and the role of reporting and input to regional heads to take further policy steps. Keywords: Inspectorate’s Role, Supervision, Local Government Performance, Unqualified Opinion Abstrak Mendapatkan hasil pemeriksaan kinerja pemerintah daerah dengan predikat opini Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian (WTP) dari BPK merupakan suatu prestise tersendiri bagi daerah. Predikat inilah yang menunjukkan bahwa laporan kinerja keuangan pemerintah daerah sudah sesuai dengan prinsip akuntabilitas. Namun demikian belum semua daerah mampu mencapai derajat WTP, karena memang untuk mendapatkannya tidak mudah. Oleh karenanya perlu instansi yang menjadi leading sector untuk mendampingi seluruh OPD dalam menyusun laporan kinerja keuangan masing-masing instansi sebelum BPK masuk, dan instansi tersebut adalah Inspektorat. Penelitian ini mencoba memberikan gambaran bagaimana peran Inspektorat Daerah Kota Samarinda dalam mendukung predikat WTP yang dalam beberapa tahun ini telah diraih oleh Kota Samarinda. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan analisis deskriptif, dilakukan in-depth interview kepada para pejabat dan stakeholder dari Inspektorat serta Badan Pengelola Keuangan Daerah (BPKAD) agar dapat dilakukan kroscek terhadap data yang ada. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh adalah Inspektorat memiliki beberapa peran dalam mempertahankan predikat WTP di Kota Samarinda, antara lain peran fasilitasi, pembinaan, serta verfikasi bagi OPD, peran koordinasi bagi DPRD, peran koordinasi dan fasilitasi bagi BPK, dan peran pemberi bahan laporan dan masukan bagi kepala daerah untuk mengambil langkah kebijakan lebih lanjut.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to provide theoretical guidance that enables local governments to deal with occupational fraud. Design/methodology/approach The quantitative approach is used to examine the efficacy of the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) internal control framework in tackling occupational fraud in local government. To achieve the goals, the authors performed a survey of the Indonesian auditor institutions. Findings It is not appropriate to argue that all types of local government fraud can be deterred by a single internal control. The study suggests that COSO internal controls are not effective for dealing with corruption cases. However, the authors do find the efficacy of those controls are obvious for controlling asset misappropriation and financial statement fraud. This result indicates that if the COSO internal control framework is only designed for routine financial control and asset protection, it significantly and negatively influences its efficacy to deal with occupational fraud. This study has both theoretical and managerial implications, discussed separately. Originality/value In the field of prevention, the authors cannot make generalised theories and approaches for dealing with occupational fraud. Whilst previous authors have offered fraud deterrents in terms of internal controls, they have failed to realise the need to understand their effectiveness for particular forms of fraud. This paper sheds light on the effectiveness of internal controls in achieving their goals. This has both practical applications and stimulates theoretical insights.

This paper aims to examine the influence of individual morality and internal controls on individuals’ propensity to commit accounting fraud at the local government level. This is a quasi- experimental research paper. Individual morality and internal controls are hypothesized to be having an interaction with each other in influencing the propensity to commit accounting fraud. Individuals who have low levels of moral principles are hypothesized to have the tendency to commit accounting fraud in the absence of any internal controls. To test this, a 2x2 factorial experiment was conducted involving 57 students from the Masters in Economics Development programme at Gadjah Mada University. The result shows that there is an interaction between individual morality and internal controls. The absence of internal controls does not cause an individual with high moral principles to commit accounting fraud. However, individuals with low morality levels tend to commit accounting fraud when internal controls are absent. Keywords: Accounting Fraud, Morality, Internal Controls, Local Government
