The transfer of power to local governments aims to improve the stability of the democratic system, increase effectiveness and efficiency, stimulate the formation of a local and national economic development base, increase government transparency and increase community involvement in decision making (Moisiu, 2013). Fiscal decentralization is defined as the transfer of expenditure and income functions from the central government to regional governments [2]. Liu, 2007 and Syahrudin (2006) have proven that fiscal decentralization produces economic benefits for the country such as increased growth rates, increased effectiveness and efficiency in resource management and increased community participation in decision making [3]. The implementation of fiscal decentralization raises various problems because regions have different capacities and capabilities in terms of finance, infrastructure availability and human resource capacity (Syahrudin, 2006). With fiscal decentralization there was a significant flow of funds from the central government to regional governments. Local governments are required to increase accountability in the management and financial reporting of their governments. Ideally fiscal decentralization can improve efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability in the management of government finances (Moisiu, 2013).
