The finding of a discrepancy between the predicate of unqualified opinion (WTP), with the implementation of Government Institutional Performance Accountability (AKIP) that is not yet compliant with standards, and not fulfilling compliance in fulfilling public service standards raises an interesting problem to examine as a research problem. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of local government and the phenomena revealed, the factors that influence it, and the interaction of influence between these factors, both direct (direct effect) and indirect (indirect effect).
