| Summary: | The regional autonomy system provides an opportunity for regions in the territory of Indonesia to utilize their sources of income independently so that the implementation of development in the regions does not only rely on finance from the central government. In this study, we are of the opinion that regions that are able to optimize their local own revenue will have an impact on increasing local financial independence. Local financial independence is the ability of a region to finance development in its area. Our other opinion assumes that the relationship between localown revenue and the local financial independence can be strengthened by the implementation of decentralization. With good decentralization, local governments are more transparent in providing all information to the public, can increase accountability because public services are getting closer, local governments can take strategic decisions, improve fiscal management, improve economic growth and market security. The new contribution of this study is related to the literature of the merging of the relationship between local own revenue, decentralization, and local financial independence that was built through Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) evidence in one of the regions in Indonesia, namely Ciamis. The results of the study show that regional local own revenues influence local financial independence. Meanwhile, decentralization which is proxied using local government expenditures is able to strengthen the relationship of local own revenues to local financial independence. So it can be concluded that the effective implementation of decentralization is able to encourage an increase in regional income that comes from its own sources to realize financial independence in the region. |
