I. INTRODUCTION
The poor financial reporting of the local governments in Indonesia is a phenomenon that occurs now
adays. It is reported by the Minister of State Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (AzwarAbubakar,
2012).The chairman of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (HadiPurnomo, 2011) also said that as
many as 326 local governments or 91% of 358 local governments whose financial statements are audited by the
Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia were awarded poor; only 32 local governments obtained unqualified
opinion. According to the Minister of the Internal Affairs (GamawanFauzi, 2011) up to the year of 2010, the
results of unqualified opinion were achieved by 32 local governments both provincial and district / city. The rest
get the predicate of qualified opinion or even disclaimer.The problems faced by the current government are
limited government officials and the low competence of the accounting personnel / internal accountants is
becoming a phenomenon as well as a major problem encountered in the regional administration in Indonesia
(Enceng, et al; 2008). According to Boediono (2010) as advised by the President of the Republic of Indonesia
on the Session of the Cabinet dated June 3, 2010, requested that all government agencies improve the quality of
the government financial accountability and the President has assigned the Vice President to coordinate the
efforts of improvements. For these reasons the Vice President has reminded that the application of Government
Internal Control System must be implemented by all government agencies at both the central and regional
governments.
The results of the audit by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia on local government financial
statements show that the governments’ implementations have not administered as expected. The examination of
the financial statements aims to provide an opinion on the fairness of the financial information presented in the
financial statements based on (a) compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Standards for government
entities and the Financial Accounting Standards for the state and regional companies or the accounting
principles set out in various laws and regulations, (b) the adequacy of disclosure (c) compliance with laws and
regulations, and (d) the effectiveness of the internal control systems. The conditions illustrated above show that
the quality of financial information, particularly which was presented in the local government financial
statements does not fully meet the qualitative characteristics of financial statements in accordance with
Government Accounting Standards.

The effect of Internal Accountants’ Competence….
Internal control is a process that is influenced by the leadership of the organization, management, and
other personnel designed to provide reasonable assurance that the organizational objectives will be achieved.
Goals of the organization are grouped by criteria such as effectiveness and efficiency of activities, financial
statements or reliable information, and comply with laws and regulations in force (COSO, 1992; Sawyer et at,
2003:65). HiroTugiman’s Research (HiroTugiman, 2000: 131-180) to 102 state-owned enterprises and local
enterprises in Indonesia proves that the quantitative internal control in the organization has a very significant
influence in the achievement of organizational goals and performance.
One of the most difficult obstacles to get unqualified opinionis primarily on asset problems,
irrelevancies between records with physical existence of assets, and the undone revalued assets. Those have
become the records in any the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia. This is caused by lack of competent
accounting personnel in the local government. They record the assets not in accordance with Government
Accounting Standards. Hongjiang Xu (2003) examined the key factors of the quality of accounting information
in Australia. His research states that human resources (the competence), organization system and external
factors are critical factors in determining the quality of accounting information. In line with these
studies,Fariziah’s research (2008) states that the ability of human resources and organizational team have a
significant effect on the quality of financial information.
Based on the list of weaknesses Internal Control System findings above, it indicates that the
commitment has not been fully implemented. The commitment here is the commitment to finish the Audit
Board of the Republic of Indonesia suggested recommendations in order to improve the quality of financial
statements. Based on data from the results of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia on Local
Government Financial Statement of Bogor regency, it can be said that the factors that affect the quality of the
financial statements are ( 1 ) the presentation of financial statements in accordance Government Accounting
Standards and follow up on the Audit Board's findings , competency of the accounting / internal accountant and
manager commitment to monitor the administration of Internal Control System; ( 2 ) Implementation of Internal
Control mainly the control to improve the quality of the financial reporting , ( 3 ) Follow-up to the financial
audit recommendations given by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia primarily associated with the
correction to Local Government Financial Statement which must be presented in accordance with Government
Accounting Standards and recommendations to correct weaknesses in the internal control system .
The problem formulated in this study is whether the internal accountant competences, manager
commitment to organizations and implementation of the internal control system have a positive effect on the
financial reporting quality both simultaneously and partially. The research objectives to be achieved through this
research is to know and obtain evidence of empirical research in order to obtain answers to the research
problems on how much influence Internal Accountant’s Competence, Manager’s Commitment to Organizations
and the Implementation of the Internal Control System on the Quality of Financial Reporting both
simultaneously and partially.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 .Internal Accountant ‘s Competence
According to Hitt , Michael Dan AR (1999 ) Competence is a combination of knowledge , skills ,
attitudes and experience .The same explanation of competence is also expressed by Zemke (1982 ) namely that :
A competency is a capability of an individual which related to superior performance in a role or job . It may be
knowledge,skill,intellectual, strategy or a cluster of all three that may apply to one or may work units. The level
of generality (scope) of a competency statement depends on its intended uses. According to Harris (2005) states
that : competences are underlying bodies of knowledge , abilities , experiences, and other necessary
requirements to successfully perform the job. That competence is an essential basic knowledge,skills,
experience and requirements necessary to perform the job successfully. Hamell , Gary & CK (1994 ) argues that
: Competence can also be interpreted as the main characteristics of the individual to produce superior
performance to do the job that includes skills and attitudes. Competence can also be interpreted as the main
characteristics of the individual to produce performance superior in carrying out work which includes the skills
and attitudes. An Internal accountant is an accountant who works for the company internally, this means that the
accountant who works in an organization unit ( Rudianto 2012: 9 ) . So the internal accountant competence is
the knowledge,skills, attitudes and experience possessed by an accountant who works in an organizational unit
or company

2.2 .Manager ‘s Commitment to Organizations
According to Mathis and Jackson (2004 ) , organizational commitment is the degree to which
employees believe in and accept organizational goals and desire to remain with the organizational .
Organizational commitment is the level of trust and acceptance of the goals of the organization and the
employees possessed the desire to remain in the organization. Furthermore Mathis and Jackson (2004 ) explains
that the core of organizational commitment is an employee's loyalty to the work : more employers are finding
that in tight labor markets , turnover of key people occurs more frequently when employee loyalty is low , in
turn emphasis the importance of a loyal and committed workforce . In the majority of employees in tight labor
market conditions, displacement often occurs when an employee loyalty is low, therefore the loyalty and
commitment is an important aspect of the work. According to Burr and Girardi (2002 : 80 ) a commitment to
work attitudes (job attitude) or belief that reflects the relative strength of partisanship and involvement of
individuals in the organization in particular .
Cohen ( 1999 : 287 ) says that organizational commitment was made up of three components , namely (
a) affective commitment , ( b ) continuance commitment , and normative commitment . Chang (1999 : 1260 )
states that affective commitment is the degree to which individuals psychologically tied to the employing
organization through feelings such as loyalty , affection , and sense of belonging .Eby et al . (1999 : 464 )
confirms that affective commitment is a strong belief attitude of the individual to the organization , acceptance
of the organization's goals , willingness to use the effort (effort ) for the benefit of the organization and a strong
desire to maintain membership of the organization . Chang (1999 : 1260 ) describes the continuous commitment
is a useful perspective on the organization exchange based on the assumption that individuals make an
investment in the organization with which he is worth risking something . Burr and Girardi (2002 : 80 )
confirms that the continuous commitment is a feeling of love on the organizations for he knows the costs if he
left the organization . Chang (1999:1260 ) reveals that the normative commitments are including moral
component , as it deals with a sense of duty and responsibility of workers to stay in the organization . Normative
commitment at this stage, deals with elements of structural capital, which is an organization based on
intellectual capital resources such as processes, systems,culture , organizational values and management
philosophy ( Dzinkowski , 2000 : 33 ) . Burr and Girardi(2002 : 80 ) emphasizes that normative commitment is
the workers’ reflection of a feeling of obligation to stay with the organization. This obligation is shown through
their supports of the values and culture of the organization. Meanwhile, based on consumer behavior research
conducted by Long in various industries in the United States in 2000, states that an idea or a form of
commitment is often identified with the form of a picture or a particular action ( Long , 2000: 219 ) .
2.3 . Internal Control System
As revealed Certified American Institute of Public Accountants ( AICPA ) are quoted Moeller& Witt (
1999; 81 ) , the definition of Internal Control is as follows : Internal control comprises the plan of organization
and an of the coordinate methods and measures adopted within a business to safeguard its assets , check the
accuracy and reliability of its accounting of data , promote operational efficiency, and encourage adherence to
prescribed managerial policies. Broader understanding of the Internal Control presented by Konrath ( 2002:205 )
, cites AICPA Professional Standards , Internal control defines as follows: The process effected by an entity 's
board of directors, management , and other personnel designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
achievement of objectives in the following categories: ( a) the operations control - relating to the effective and
efficient use of the entity's resources; ( b ) financial reporting controls - relating to the preparation of reliable
published financial statements ; and ( c ) compliance controls - relating to the entity 's compliance with
applicable laws and regulations .Boynton ( 2006:326 ) states: Control the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use, and disposition. Arens( 2006: 273 ) argues that : Internal control includes five
categories of controls that management designs and implements to provide reasonable assurance that
management's control objectives will be met. These are components of internal control: ( 1 ) Control
Environment , ( 2 ) Risk Assessment , (3) Information and Communication, (4) Control Activities, (5)
Monitoring.
The components of the COSO Internal Control according cited by Konrath is shown in Figure 2.1 below:

2.4 . Financial Reporting Quality
According to ImanMulyana( 2010:96 ): Quality is defined as conformance to standards, based on
measured levels of discrepancy, as well as achieved through examination. While Heizer& Render (2010:253 )
argues that: Quality is the totality of features and characteristic of a product or service that bears on its ability to
satisfy stated or implied needs. Huang (1999 ) in Lillrank (2003 ) argues that : Quality of information are
grouped into four classes: 1 ) the intrinsic quality: accuracy, objectivity, believability, and reputation, 2 ) the
quality of accessibility: access, and security, 3 ) contextual quality: relevance, value added, timeliness,
completeness and amount of the data, and 4 ) the quality of representation: interpretation , ease of understanding
, the representation concise , and consistent representation . While Hilton (2011: 551) argues: Three
characteristics of information determine its usefulness for decision making : ( 1 ) Relevance . Information is
relevant if it is pertinent to a problem. (2) Accuracy. Information that is pertinent to a decision problem must
also be accurate. (3) Timeliness. Relevant and accurate the data are valuable only if they are timely , that is ,
available in time for a decision . Azhar Susanto( 2004:40 ) suggested the same thing as follows : A quality
information must have the characteristics of ( 1 ) . Accurate. It means that information must reflect the actual
situation. (2). Timely. It means that information must be available or exist on when the information is required.
(3). Relevant. It means the information provided must be in accordance with the required one. (4) Completeness.
It means information should be given in complete.

III. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
3.1 . Effect of Internal Accountant’s Competence on the Quality of Financial Reporting
Celviana( 2010 ) states that the competence of human resources has a positive effect on the reliability
of the local government financial reporting . While HongjiangXu (2003 ) examines the key factors of the quality
of accounting information in Australia . His research states that human resources (in this case is competence ),
organization system and external factors is a critical factor in determining the quality of accounting information
. In line with these studies,Fariziah’s research ( 2008 ) states that the ability of human resources and
organizational team have a significant effect on the quality of financial information. One of the most difficult
obstacles to get unqualified opinionis primarily on asset problems, irrelevancies between records with physical
existence of assets, and the undone revalued assets. Those have become the records in any the Audit Board of
the Republic of Indonesia. This is caused by lack of competent accounting personnel in the local government.
They record the assets not in accordance with Government Accounting Standards. All the explanation above
shows that there is a positive correlation between internal accountant competence towards the quality of
financial reporting.
3.2. Effect of Manager’s Commitment to Organizations on the Quality of Financial Reporting
The commitment of a leader / manager has been defined by Burr and Girardi (2002:80 ) as follows : a
commitment to work attitudes (job attitude) or belief that reflects the relative strength of partisanship and
involvement of individuals in the organization in particular . Hornby (2000: 242) says that commitment is a
willingness to work hard and give energy and time for a job or activity. This, reinforced by Lee and Olshfski
(2002: 109 ) says that a commitment to implement a multi -dimensional construct associated with the various
ways individuals to lead to something superior , working groups , organizations , and ultimately serve the
community . Commitment means more than just a passive loyalty, but it involves an active relationship and a
desire to make a meaningful contribution to the organization (Mowday, 1987 in Silviana,2012 ). Meaningful
contribution in the financial management of the state is to produce transparant financial statements to present
and disclose all financial transactions and control all the wealth in the hope of getting an unqualified opinion.

The effect of Internal Accountants’ Competence….
Based on the list of weaknesses Internal Control System findings of the summary of the result of the
examination the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia first semester of 2012 indicate that commitment has
not been fully implemented. Commitment is a commitment to finish the BPK’s recommendations in order to
improve the quality of financial statements. Some important quality of information contained in the financial
statements in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards are to be understood , relevance , reliability
and comparability .The quality of the financial statements affects the auditor’s opinion for Local Government
Financial Statement . The financial statements were not obtained unqualified opinionbut they need
improvement. It is required a strong commitment from the manager, strong commitment from the leaders to
improve the quality of financial reporting.
3.3 . Effect of Internal Control System on the Quality of Financial Statements
According Mahmudi (2010 : 27 ) , to generate the necessary local government financial statement
needs processes and steps to be followed and they are set out in the accounting system of the local government.
The accounting system in which regulates the internal control system, the quality of financial reporting is
influenced by the absence of good internal control system owned by the local government. Rorita Lim (2007 )
finds that a good internal control system must be able to guarantee the achievement of such objectives :
effectiveness and efficiency of operations ; reliable financial statements ; consistent with applicable laws and
regulations and the implementation of the supervision affects the performance accountability of government
agencies. HiroTugiman’s Research (HiroTugiman, 2000: 131-180) to 102 state-owned enterprises and local
enterprises in Indonesia proves that the quantitative internal control in the organizationhas a very significant
influence in the achievement of organizational goals and performance. As it has been described above that one
of the criteria is the organization's goals of financial statements or reliable information. Reliable information is
one of the criteria for financial reporting quality. Of these studies indicate that the effect of internal control is
very significant.
Interrelated between internal accountant’s competences, manager’s commitment to organizations, the
implementation of the internal control systems and the quality of financial reporting can be described as follows:

Theoretical Framework

IV. HYPOTHESIS
Based on the framework stated previously, it can be compiled following research hypothesis: Internal
Accountant’s Competences, Manager’s Commitment to Organizations and the Implementation of the Internal
Control Systems have Positive Impacts on the Quality of Financial Reporting both simultaneously and partially.

V. RESEARCH DESIGN
This is a descriptive-analytical research. This research was conducted through a survey and isgrounded.
This study uses appropriate statistical research paper for the purpose of causation (causality) either directly or
indirectly, by using multiple regression models was intended to obtain empirical evidence, examine and explain
the influence of internal accountant’s competences, manager’s commitment to organizations, the
implementation of the internal control systems on the quality of financial reporting. The unit of analysis in this
study is the Local Government Unit in Bogor regency. The respondents are the Local Government Unit Leader,
the Head of Accounting and the Head of Internal Control Systems.

VI. RESEARCH RESULTS
The results of testing the hypothesis is that there is a positive result simultaneously between the
variables of internal accountant’s competences, manager’s commitment to organizations and the implementation
of the internal control systems on the quality of the financial reporting. The partial results of hypothesis testing
result that the internal accountant’s competences have a positive effect on the quality of financial reporting. The
results are consistent with Celviana’s research (2010 ) which states that the competences of human resources
have a positive effect on the reliability of the local government financial reporting . Also in line with Fariziah’s
research (2008 ) which states that the human resources and organizational team have a significant effect on the
quality of financial information . Roviyantie Devi’s research ( 2011) is also in line with research that states that
human resources competencies have a significant effect on the quality of local government financial reports
while the managers’ commitment to the organizations has no effect on the quality of financial reporting.The
results are not in line with the research conducted by Silviana ( 2012 ) where the research results is that the
commitment of heads of regional states affects the quality of local government financial statement . The results
are also not consistent with the data on the results of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia on the Local
Government Financial Statement which states that the commitment of leadership is one of the factors that
affects the quality of financial reporting. The implementation of the internal control systems does not affect the
quality of financial reporting. The results are not in line with the majority of previous studies stating that the
implementation of the internal control system has a significantly positive effect on the quality of financial
reporting. These include studies conducted by Tantriani ( 2012 ) , Adi Nugroho ( 2011 ) , Aristanti ( 2011 ) ,
Sugita ( 2011 ) , Gerry Armando , Darya Setya ( 2010 ) , Desi Indriasari ( 2008 ) and HiroTugiman (2000: 131180)

VIII. CONCLUSION
Based on the data analysis and discussion of research results in the previous chapter, it can be
concluded as follows: Internal accountant’s competences, manager’s commitment to organizations and the
implementation of the internal control systems simultaneously have a positive effect on the quality of financial
reporting in particular on the local government. Internal accountant ‘scompetences have a positive effect on the
quality of financial reporting. The phenomenon of the low quality of financial reporting, especially in local
government is still not well answered by the internal accountant’s competences. With good internal accountant
competences especially at the local government can improve the quality of financial reporting. Manager’s
commitment to organizations does not affect the quality of financial reporting as well as the implementation of
the internal control systems does not affect the quality of financial reporting.

KEYWORDS: Internal Accountants’ Competence, Managers’ Commitment to Organizations, The Implementation of the Internal Control System and the Quality of Financial Reporting I. INTRODUCTION The poor financial reporting of the local governments in Indonesia is a phenomenon that occurs now adays. It is reported by the Minister of State Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (AzwarAbubakar, 2012).The chairman of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (HadiPurnomo, 2011) also said that as many as 326 local governments or 91% of 358 local governments whose financial statements are audited by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia were awarded poor; only 32 local governments obtained unqualified opinion. According to the Minister of the Internal Affairs (GamawanFauzi, 2011) up to the year of 2010, the results of unqualified opinion were achieved by 32 local governments both provincial and district / city. The rest get the predicate of qualified opinion or even disclaimer.The problems faced by the current government are limited government officials and the low competence of the accounting personnel / internal accountants is becoming a phenomenon as well as a major problem encountered in the regional administration in Indonesia (Enceng, et al; 2008). According to Boediono (2010) as advised by the President of the Republic of Indonesia on the Session of the Cabinet dated June 3, 2010, requested that all government agencies improve the quality of the government financial accountability and the President has assigned the Vice President to coordinate the efforts of improvements. For these reasons the Vice President has reminded that the application of Government Internal Control System must be implemented by all government agencies at both the central and regional governments. The results of the audit by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia on local government financial statements show that the governments’ implementations have not administered as expected. The examination of the financial statements aims to provide an opinion on the fairness of the financial information presented in the financial statements based on (a) compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Standards for government entities and the Financial Accounting Standards for the state and regional companies or the accounting principles set out in various laws and regulations, (b) the adequacy of disclosure (c) compliance with laws and regulations, and (d) the effectiveness of the internal control systems. The conditions illustrated above show that the quality of financial information, particularly which was presented in the local government financial statements does not fully meet the qualitative characteristics of financial statements in accordance with Government Accounting Standards. www.ijbmi.org 19 | Page
  • 2. The effect of Internal Accountants’ Competence…. Internal control is a process that is influenced by the leadership of the organization, management, and other personnel designed to provide reasonable assurance that the organizational objectives will be achieved. Goals of the organization are grouped by criteria such as effectiveness and efficiency of activities, financial statements or reliable information, and comply with laws and regulations in force (COSO, 1992; Sawyer et at, 2003:65). HiroTugiman’s Research (HiroTugiman, 2000: 131-180) to 102 state-owned enterprises and local enterprises in Indonesia proves that the quantitative internal control in the organization has a very significant influence in the achievement of organizational goals and performance. One of the most difficult obstacles to get unqualified opinionis primarily on asset problems, irrelevancies between records with physical existence of assets, and the undone revalued assets. Those have become the records in any the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia. This is caused by lack of competent accounting personnel in the local government. They record the assets not in accordance with Government Accounting Standards. Hongjiang Xu (2003) examined the key factors of the quality of accounting information in Australia. His research states that human resources (the competence), organization system and external factors are critical factors in determining the quality of accounting information. In line with these studies,Fariziah’s research (2008) states that the ability of human resources and organizational team have a significant effect on the quality of financial information. Based on the list of weaknesses Internal Control System findings above, it indicates that the commitment has not been fully implemented. The commitment here is the commitment to finish the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia suggested recommendations in order to improve the quality of financial statements. Based on data from the results of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia on Local Government Financial Statement of Bogor regency, it can be said that the factors that affect the quality of the financial statements are ( 1 ) the presentation of financial statements in accordance Government Accounting Standards and follow up on the Audit Board's findings , competency of the accounting / internal accountant and manager commitment to monitor the administration of Internal Control System; ( 2 ) Implementation of Internal Control mainly the control to improve the quality of the financial reporting , ( 3 ) Follow-up to the financial audit recommendations given by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia primarily associated with the correction to Local Government Financial Statement which must be presented in accordance with Government Accounting Standards and recommendations to correct weaknesses in the internal control system . The problem formulated in this study is whether the internal accountant competences, manager commitment to organizations and implementation of the internal control system have a positive effect on the financial reporting quality both simultaneously and partially. The research objectives to be achieved through this research is to know and obtain evidence of empirical research in order to obtain answers to the research problems on how much influence Internal Accountant’s Competence, Manager’s Commitment to Organizations and the Implementation of the Internal Control System on the Quality of Financial Reporting both simultaneously and partially. II. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 .Internal Accountant ‘s Competence According to Hitt , Michael Dan AR (1999 ) Competence is a combination of knowledge , skills , attitudes and experience .The same explanation of competence is also expressed by Zemke (1982 ) namely that : A competency is a capability of an individual which related to superior performance in a role or job . It may be knowledge,skill,intellectual, strategy or a cluster of all three that may apply to one or may work units. The level of generality (scope) of a competency statement depends on its intended uses. According to Harris (2005) states that : competences are underlying bodies of knowledge , abilities , experiences, and other necessary requirements to successfully perform the job. That competence is an essential basic knowledge,skills, experience and requirements necessary to perform the job successfully. Hamell , Gary & CK (1994 ) argues that : Competence can also be interpreted as the main characteristics of the individual to produce superior performance to do the job that includes skills and attitudes. Competence can also be interpreted as the main characteristics of the individual to produce performance superior in carrying out work which includes the skills and attitudes. An Internal accountant is an accountant who works for the company internally, this means that the accountant who works in an organization unit ( Rudianto 2012: 9 ) . So the internal accountant competence is the knowledge,skills, attitudes and experience possessed by an accountant who works in an organizational unit or company www.ijbmi.org 20 | Page
  • 3. The effect of Internal Accountants’ Competence…. 2.2 .Manager ‘s Commitment to Organizations According to Mathis and Jackson (2004 ) , organizational commitment is the degree to which employees believe in and accept organizational goals and desire to remain with the organizational . Organizational commitment is the level of trust and acceptance of the goals of the organization and the employees possessed the desire to remain in the organization. Furthermore Mathis and Jackson (2004 ) explains that the core of organizational commitment is an employee's loyalty to the work : more employers are finding that in tight labor markets , turnover of key people occurs more frequently when employee loyalty is low , in turn emphasis the importance of a loyal and committed workforce . In the majority of employees in tight labor market conditions, displacement often occurs when an employee loyalty is low, therefore the loyalty and commitment is an important aspect of the work. According to Burr and Girardi (2002 : 80 ) a commitment to work attitudes (job attitude) or belief that reflects the relative strength of partisanship and involvement of individuals in the organization in particular . Cohen ( 1999 : 287 ) says that organizational commitment was made up of three components , namely ( a) affective commitment , ( b ) continuance commitment , and normative commitment . Chang (1999 : 1260 ) states that affective commitment is the degree to which individuals psychologically tied to the employing organization through feelings such as loyalty , affection , and sense of belonging .Eby et al . (1999 : 464 ) confirms that affective commitment is a strong belief attitude of the individual to the organization , acceptance of the organization's goals , willingness to use the effort (effort ) for the benefit of the organization and a strong desire to maintain membership of the organization . Chang (1999 : 1260 ) describes the continuous commitment is a useful perspective on the organization exchange based on the assumption that individuals make an investment in the organization with which he is worth risking something . Burr and Girardi (2002 : 80 ) confirms that the continuous commitment is a feeling of love on the organizations for he knows the costs if he left the organization . Chang (1999:1260 ) reveals that the normative commitments are including moral component , as it deals with a sense of duty and responsibility of workers to stay in the organization . Normative commitment at this stage, deals with elements of structural capital, which is an organization based on intellectual capital resources such as processes, systems,culture , organizational values and management philosophy ( Dzinkowski , 2000 : 33 ) . Burr and Girardi(2002 : 80 ) emphasizes that normative commitment is the workers’ reflection of a feeling of obligation to stay with the organization. This obligation is shown through their supports of the values and culture of the organization. Meanwhile, based on consumer behavior research conducted by Long in various industries in the United States in 2000, states that an idea or a form of commitment is often identified with the form of a picture or a particular action ( Long , 2000: 219 ) . 2.3 . Internal Control System As revealed Certified American Institute of Public Accountants ( AICPA ) are quoted Moeller& Witt ( 1999; 81 ) , the definition of Internal Control is as follows : Internal control comprises the plan of organization and an of the coordinate methods and measures adopted within a business to safeguard its assets , check the accuracy and reliability of its accounting of data , promote operational efficiency, and encourage adherence to prescribed managerial policies. Broader understanding of the Internal Control presented by Konrath ( 2002:205 ) , cites AICPA Professional Standards , Internal control defines as follows: The process effected by an entity 's board of directors, management , and other personnel designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the following categories: ( a) the operations control - relating to the effective and efficient use of the entity's resources; ( b ) financial reporting controls - relating to the preparation of reliable published financial statements ; and ( c ) compliance controls - relating to the entity 's compliance with applicable laws and regulations .Boynton ( 2006:326 ) states: Control the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, and disposition. Arens( 2006: 273 ) argues that : Internal control includes five categories of controls that management designs and implements to provide reasonable assurance that management's control objectives will be met. These are components of internal control: ( 1 ) Control Environment , ( 2 ) Risk Assessment , (3) Information and Communication, (4) Control Activities, (5) Monitoring. The components of the COSO Internal Control according cited by Konrath is shown in Figure 2.1 below: www.ijbmi.org 21 | Page
  • 4. The effect of Internal Accountants’ Competence…. Figure 2.1. COSO Components of Internal Control Sources :Konrath (2002 : 207) 2.4 . Financial Reporting Quality According to ImanMulyana( 2010:96 ): Quality is defined as conformance to standards, based on measured levels of discrepancy, as well as achieved through examination. While Heizer& Render (2010:253 ) argues that: Quality is the totality of features and characteristic of a product or service that bears on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs. Huang (1999 ) in Lillrank (2003 ) argues that : Quality of information are grouped into four classes: 1 ) the intrinsic quality: accuracy, objectivity, believability, and reputation, 2 ) the quality of accessibility: access, and security, 3 ) contextual quality: relevance, value added, timeliness, completeness and amount of the data, and 4 ) the quality of representation: interpretation , ease of understanding , the representation concise , and consistent representation . While Hilton (2011: 551) argues: Three characteristics of information determine its usefulness for decision making : ( 1 ) Relevance . Information is relevant if it is pertinent to a problem. (2) Accuracy. Information that is pertinent to a decision problem must also be accurate. (3) Timeliness. Relevant and accurate the data are valuable only if they are timely , that is , available in time for a decision . Azhar Susanto( 2004:40 ) suggested the same thing as follows : A quality information must have the characteristics of ( 1 ) . Accurate. It means that information must reflect the actual situation. (2). Timely. It means that information must be available or exist on when the information is required. (3). Relevant. It means the information provided must be in accordance with the required one. (4) Completeness. It means information should be given in complete. III. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK 3.1 . Effect of Internal Accountant’s Competence on the Quality of Financial Reporting Celviana( 2010 ) states that the competence of human resources has a positive effect on the reliability of the local government financial reporting . While HongjiangXu (2003 ) examines the key factors of the quality of accounting information in Australia . His research states that human resources (in this case is competence ), organization system and external factors is a critical factor in determining the quality of accounting information . In line with these studies,Fariziah’s research ( 2008 ) states that the ability of human resources and organizational team have a significant effect on the quality of financial information. One of the most difficult obstacles to get unqualified opinionis primarily on asset problems, irrelevancies between records with physical existence of assets, and the undone revalued assets. Those have become the records in any the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia. This is caused by lack of competent accounting personnel in the local government. They record the assets not in accordance with Government Accounting Standards. All the explanation above shows that there is a positive correlation between internal accountant competence towards the quality of financial reporting. 3.2. Effect of Manager’s Commitment to Organizations on the Quality of Financial Reporting The commitment of a leader / manager has been defined by Burr and Girardi (2002:80 ) as follows : a commitment to work attitudes (job attitude) or belief that reflects the relative strength of partisanship and involvement of individuals in the organization in particular . Hornby (2000: 242) says that commitment is a willingness to work hard and give energy and time for a job or activity. This, reinforced by Lee and Olshfski (2002: 109 ) says that a commitment to implement a multi -dimensional construct associated with the various ways individuals to lead to something superior , working groups , organizations , and ultimately serve the community . Commitment means more than just a passive loyalty, but it involves an active relationship and a desire to make a meaningful contribution to the organization (Mowday, 1987 in Silviana,2012 ). Meaningful contribution in the financial management of the state is to produce transparant financial statements to present and disclose all financial transactions and control all the wealth in the hope of getting an unqualified opinion. www.ijbmi.org 22 | Page
  • 5. The effect of Internal Accountants’ Competence…. Based on the list of weaknesses Internal Control System findings of the summary of the result of the examination the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia first semester of 2012 indicate that commitment has not been fully implemented. Commitment is a commitment to finish the BPK’s recommendations in order to improve the quality of financial statements. Some important quality of information contained in the financial statements in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards are to be understood , relevance , reliability and comparability .The quality of the financial statements affects the auditor’s opinion for Local Government Financial Statement . The financial statements were not obtained unqualified opinionbut they need improvement. It is required a strong commitment from the manager, strong commitment from the leaders to improve the quality of financial reporting. 3.3 . Effect of Internal Control System on the Quality of Financial Statements According Mahmudi (2010 : 27 ) , to generate the necessary local government financial statement needs processes and steps to be followed and they are set out in the accounting system of the local government. The accounting system in which regulates the internal control system, the quality of financial reporting is influenced by the absence of good internal control system owned by the local government. Rorita Lim (2007 ) finds that a good internal control system must be able to guarantee the achievement of such objectives : effectiveness and efficiency of operations ; reliable financial statements ; consistent with applicable laws and regulations and the implementation of the supervision affects the performance accountability of government agencies. HiroTugiman’s Research (HiroTugiman, 2000: 131-180) to 102 state-owned enterprises and local enterprises in Indonesia proves that the quantitative internal control in the organizationhas a very significant influence in the achievement of organizational goals and performance. As it has been described above that one of the criteria is the organization's goals of financial statements or reliable information. Reliable information is one of the criteria for financial reporting quality. Of these studies indicate that the effect of internal control is very significant. Interrelated between internal accountant’s competences, manager’s commitment to organizations, the implementation of the internal control systems and the quality of financial reporting can be described as follows: Figure 3.1 Theoretical Framework IV. HYPOTHESIS Based on the framework stated previously, it can be compiled following research hypothesis: Internal Accountant’s Competences, Manager’s Commitment to Organizations and the Implementation of the Internal Control Systems have Positive Impacts on the Quality of Financial Reporting both simultaneously and partially. V. RESEARCH DESIGN This is a descriptive-analytical research. This research was conducted through a survey and isgrounded. This study uses appropriate statistical research paper for the purpose of causation (causality) either directly or indirectly, by using multiple regression models was intended to obtain empirical evidence, examine and explain the influence of internal accountant’s competences, manager’s commitment to organizations, the implementation of the internal control systems on the quality of financial reporting. The unit of analysis in this study is the Local Government Unit in Bogor regency. The respondents are the Local Government Unit Leader, the Head of Accounting and the Head of Internal Control Systems. www.ijbmi.org 23 | Page
  • 6. The effect of Internal Accountants’ Competence…. VI. RESEARCH RESULTS The results of testing the hypothesis is that there is a positive result simultaneously between the variables of internal accountant’s competences, manager’s commitment to organizations and the implementation of the internal control systems on the quality of the financial reporting. The partial results of hypothesis testing result that the internal accountant’s competences have a positive effect on the quality of financial reporting. The results are consistent with Celviana’s research (2010 ) which states that the competences of human resources have a positive effect on the reliability of the local government financial reporting . Also in line with Fariziah’s research (2008 ) which states that the human resources and organizational team have a significant effect on the quality of financial information . Roviyantie Devi’s research ( 2011) is also in line with research that states that human resources competencies have a significant effect on the quality of local government financial reports while the managers’ commitment to the organizations has no effect on the quality of financial reporting.The results are not in line with the research conducted by Silviana ( 2012 ) where the research results is that the commitment of heads of regional states affects the quality of local government financial statement . The results are also not consistent with the data on the results of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia on the Local Government Financial Statement which states that the commitment of leadership is one of the factors that affects the quality of financial reporting. The implementation of the internal control systems does not affect the quality of financial reporting. The results are not in line with the majority of previous studies stating that the implementation of the internal control system has a significantly positive effect on the quality of financial reporting. These include studies conducted by Tantriani ( 2012 ) , Adi Nugroho ( 2011 ) , Aristanti ( 2011 ) , Sugita ( 2011 ) , Gerry Armando , Darya Setya ( 2010 ) , Desi Indriasari ( 2008 ) and HiroTugiman (2000: 131180) VII.

CONCLUSION Based on the data analysis and discussion of research results in the previous chapter, it can be concluded as follows: Internal accountant’s competences, manager’s commitment to organizations and the implementation of the internal control systems simultaneously have a positive effect on the quality of financial reporting in particular on the local government. Internal accountant ‘scompetences have a positive effect on the quality of financial reporting. The phenomenon of the low quality of financial reporting, especially in local government is still not well answered by the internal accountant’s competences. With good internal accountant competences especially at the local government can improve the quality of financial reporting. Manager’s commitment to organizations does not affect the quality of financial reporting as well as the implementation of the internal control systems does not affect the quality of financial reporting.
