Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of management control system implementation, supervisory oversight, and accountability on financial performance at Siti Fatimah Regional General Hospital, South Sumatra Province. A quantitative research approach was employed using a questionnaire survey distributed to employees involved in hospital management and operational activities. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS. The results indicate that management control system implementation and accountability significantly affect financial performance, while supervisory oversight does not have a significant effect. Simultaneously, management control system implementation, supervisory oversight, and  accountability significantly influence financial performance. These findings emphasize that effective internal management mechanisms and strong accountability practices are essential in improving financial management and organizational performance in public healthcare institutions. This study provides practical implications for hospital management in strengthening control systems, improving managerial effectiveness, and enhancing accountability to achieve sustainable financial performance.
