Wherefrom the 34 Province Satkers, there were 357 District/City Population and Civil Registration Service Satkers who became respondents, and the data was taken during a pandemic that swept across the country. The data analysis technique in this study used PLS-SEM with the WarpPLS version 7.0 application. The study results show that the application of the accrual-based accounting system has a direct and indirect effect on the government's financial performance through the financial decision-making variable as a mediation (novelty).
