These villages own, finance and govern the LPDs asan integral part of Balinese culture. The final say in every matter lies with the assembly of indigenousresidents (“krama”), the ultimate authority in every village. This research is aimed to analyze the relationshipbetween LPD and contribution of LPD in order to reduce % percentace of population below the poverty line(%PBL). The independent variable Return on Asset (ROA) has contribution to reduce PBL. ROA is internalperformance of LPD. Additonal analysis is conducted by field experiment to explore improvement internalperformance of LPD with Balance Scorecard. Balance Scorecard is not only measurement tools but strategictools in order to reduce %PBL
