ROLE CONFLICT AND ROLE AMBIGUITY ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT INTERNAL AUDITORS: THE DETERMINANT AND IMPACTS

The bureaucratic reform at the local government level in Indonesia that was instituted in 2012 has turned local government internal auditors into an important part of government governance systems. The role of local government internal auditors has been expanded to include not only the area of audit oversight, but also the areas of anti-corruption-related and consulting activities. These fundamental changes may potentially induce role conflict and role ambiguity among internal auditors. The objective of this study is to examine empirically the determinants and consequences of role conflict and role ambiguity among local government internal auditors. More specifically, this study attempts to examine the extent to which formalization determines role conflict and role ambiguity; it further tests the impact of role conflict and role ambiguity on commitment to independence and job performance. Questionnaires were distributed to 248 local government internal auditors from 12 Regional Inspectorates in the provinces of Yogyakarta, South Sumatra, and East Java. A total of 176 responses were received, and 124 useable responses from the 176 responses were analysed to test the hypotheses. Using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square the results show that: formalization is negatively related to role conflict and role ambiguity; role ambiguity has a negative impact on commitment to independence; role conflict has a positive impact on job performance; and role ambiguity has a negative impact on job performance. These findings serve as important external validity evidence on the phenomena associated with role conflict and role ambiguity that occur in the public sector, especially among internal auditors at local government institutions.Keywords: role conflict, role ambiguity, local government, internal auditor

Konsepfair Value dan Pengaruhnya terhadap Relevansi : sebuah Tinjauan Teoritis Atas Penerapan Ifrs

Historical cost is currently perceived as less suitable to the current business development because it does not reflect the real value. Fair value comes to overcome the weaknesses of historical cost. In order to achieve the harmonization of International accounting standards, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) developed International Accounting Reporting Standards (IFRS) with the concept of fair value.

Green credit and bank performance in Indonesia

A new challenge for the banking sector In Indonesia is integrating social aspects in firm performance reports. Green Credit is expected to substantially drive capital allocation to sustainable development which eventually will impact the pattern of production and consumption in the future. In this study, using commercial bank data in Indonesia, we estimate an empirical model of the effect of green credit on bank performance in Indonesia during the period 2015 to 2021. We employ a panel dynamic model using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). We differ bank performance twofold which are return on asset (ROA)). The main finding shows that green credit significantly abates bank performance since some green economy projects focus on the public welfare. Therefore, green credit could not result in high returns. The government should formulate a policy of providing incentives to banks that offer green credit. Thus, it could encourage the willingness of banks to lend more funds to the green economy
