The event, held on Wednesday, 23 August 2023, was attended by Pagersari village officials, including the Head of the Village Finance Section, the Head of Administration, the Head of Welfare, and other village officials. This Community Service begins with delivering material on village financial management and administration and ends with material on village financial supervision.
In the material presented by Muhammad, SE., MSA., Ak., CA., CSRS. With the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs, Number 20 of 2018 concerning Village Financial Management, each village in Indonesia represented by the village head has the authority to manage village finances or (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Desa) APBDes. For this reason, village financial governance must be managed properly so that it can improve the welfare of village communities. On the other hand, full authority to manage village funds has its own consequences; village officials are required to be accountable for village funds that have been managed.
This Community Service Activity was closed by material on the pattern of village financial supervision submitted by Sanrudianto MSA.,Ak.,CA.,CPA.,AAP.B. In his presentation, Sanrudianto also provided an overview of the auditor’s findings, which were considered indications of state losses and weaknesses in internal control and classified as administrative.
