Implementation of Financial Accountability in Regional Public Companies (Perumda) and Its Implications Using the Systematic Literature Review Method
Abstract
This study aims to comprehensively analyze the implementation of financial accountability in Perusahaan Umum Daerah (Perumda) Lematang Enim and its implications. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on PRISMA guidelines, 25 articles published between 2022 and 2026 from OpenAlex sources were analyzed. The selection process began with 378 articles, culminating in 25 final articles after identification, screening, and eligibility assessment stages. The review found that implementing financial accountability significantly enhances financial management transparency, operational efficiency, and the quality of strategic decision-making, while also reducing the potential for corruption. Publication trends show a steady increase in interest, from 3 publications in 2022 to 7 in 2025. Key challenges identified include suboptimal human resource competence, political intervention, IT infrastructure limitations, and resistance to change. Digitally-based accounting information systems, such as SAKD/SAP integration with real-time reporting features, emerged as the most effective reporting mechanism, supported by robust internal control systems. Leadership commitment, HR capacity, transparent organizational culture, and external regulatory support are crucial success factors. This study extends the understanding of legitimacy and agency theories by positioning strong financial accountability practices as a crucial mechanism for building stakeholder trust and achieving Perumda's socio-economic goals. Robust financial accountability implementation is essential for Perumda's operational sustainability and the welfare improvement of the communities it serves.
