INTRODUCTION The problem of development is the "expectation gap" between development performance achieved today and what is planned and between what is to be achieved in the future and the real conditions when planning is made (Santoso, 2. otential problems for regional development generally arise from strengths that have not been utilized optimally, weaknesses that have not been overcome, opportunities that have not been utilized, and threats that have not been anticipated quickly. The problems that have been faced for twenty years in the RPJPD of Central Bangka Regency are grouped based on the targets that are revealed to government indicators as stipulated in Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government. The Central Bangka Regency Regional Development Planning Agency carries out the function of leading the implementation of analysis, and the formulation of regional development planning policies in a thematic, holistic, integrative and spatial manner in preparing planning documents, monitoring, evaluating, controlling development implementation and conducting research and developing regional potential. The purpose of the formulation of regional development problems is to identify various factors that have influenced the success/failure of regional development performance in the past, especially those related to the government's development planning ability in empowering its authority. Regional development planning is a very important & strategic function, because with planning we can see where the area will be taken, while still considering the potential and resources it has. Good planning is planning that is carried out while still based on data and information that is accurate, valid and Furthermore, the achievement of targets and the availability of data are the main measurements that are very important. Regional development is a process in which local governments and their communities manage existing resources and form a pattern of partnership between local governments and the private sector https://equity. id/index. php/equity 33019/equity. Analysis Of Regional Government Expenditures Of Central Bangka Regency to create new jobs as well as stimulate the development of economic activities in the region (Samentoso. Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 23 of 2014 paragraph 1 concerning Regional ent is an embodiment of the implementation of government affairs that have been handed over to the regions as an integral part of national development. Regions carry out development to increase and equalize people's income, employment opportunities, business fields, improve access and quality of public services and regional Regional autonomy which began in January 2001 for each region at the provincial and district/city levels gives the rights, authorities and obligations of the autonomous regions to regulate and manage their own government affairs and the interests of the local community within the system of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Regional financial management is an integral part of the implementation of government affairs which are the authority of the region as a result of the handover of government affairs. In the context of implementing regional autonomy and fiscal decentralization, regional governments are required to have greater regional financial capacity. A greater level of financial independence means that local governments will no longer be very dependent on assistance from the central and provincial governments through balancing funds. In regional autonomy there are two aspects of financial performance that are required to be better than before regional autonomy. The first aspect is that the regions are given the authority to manage regional financing with the main strength being the ability of Local Own Revenue (Fiscal Decentralizatio. The second aspect is on the regional expenditure management side, that regional financial management must be more accountable and transparent, of course demanding that the regions be more efficient and effective in regional These two aspects can be referred to as financing reform or Financing Reform. Funding for an area is obtained from the Regional Expenditure Budget (APBD) which is compiled annually by the regional government and its work units to fulfill public services (Sumardjoko, 2. Based on the report on the realization of the regional revenue and expenditure budget for Central Bangka Regency for 2018-2022, it shows that the realization of revenue and expenditure for the Central Bangka Regency government tends to increase.

In 2022, total operating expenditure will reach approximately 74. 55%, while capital expenditure will be approximately 13. and transfers will be approximately 11. Regional expenditure analysis is very important to evaluate whether the local government has used the APBD economically, efficiently and effectively . alue for mone. The extent to which local governments have implemented budget efficiency, avoiding unnecessary expenditure and expenditures that are not on target. Regional governments no longer need to be oriented towards spending the budget which results in budget waste but are oriented towards the output and outcome of the budget (Mahmudi. Analysis of the growth of regional expenditures provides information on the development of expenditures from year to year, analysis of the harmony of expenditures will provide information on the balance between expenditures while the ratio of regional expenditures to PDRB will show the productivity and efficiency of regional expenditures. The above arguments form the basis for the formulation of the problem in this study, namely how the regional government spending in Central Bangka Regency is viewed from expenditure growth, spending harmony and the ratio of regional spending to PDRB in 2018-2022. Meanwhile, the purpose of this study was to analyze expenditure growth, expenditure compatibility and the ratio of regional expenditures to the PDRB of Central Bangka Regency in 20118-2022. According to Mahmudi . Regional Expenditure Analysis was conducted to evaluate whether the regional government of Central Bangka Regency has used the Regional Expenditure Budget (APBD) economically, efficiently and effectively. Expenditure Variance Analysis provides information on differences or discrepancies between actual spending and the budget. Expenditure Growth Analysis is useful for knowing the development of spending from year to year. Analysis of the compatibility of spending will provide information about the balance between spending.

LITERATURE REVIEW Regional Government Financial Reports According to Mahmudi . financial reports are information presented to assist stakeholders in making social, political and economic decisions so that the decisions taken can be of higher quality. There are main reasons why local governments need to publish financial reports From an internal perspective, financial reports are a means of controlling and evaluating performance for regional governments as a whole and for work units within them . egional work unit. Financial reports are a form of internal accountability, namely the accountability of heads of work units to regional heads, regional heads to local government employees and DPRD. In terms of external users, regional government financial reports are a form of external accountability, namely the accountability of regional heads to the public, investors, creditors, donor agencies, the press, and other parties with an interest in these reports as a basis for making economic, social and political decisions.

In general, regional income can be understood as the right of the local government to increase net https://equity. id/index. php/equity Doi 10. 33019/equity. Analysis Of Regional Government Expenditures Of Central Bangka Regency worth resulting from past transactions. Regional government revenue is different from regional Regional revenues are all types of cash receipts that enter the regional treasury account either purely from regional income or from financing receipts. According to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, regional revenues are all regional rights that are recognized as an addition to the value of net assets in the relevant fiscal year period. Sources of regional income consist oLocal Own Revenue (PAD) includes local regional retribution. results of separated regional wealth management. and other legitimate regional original revenues . Transfer income . Other legal regional income Based on government accounting standards, regional spending can be defined as all expenditures from the regional general treasury account that reduce the equity of current funds in the period of the relevant fiscal year for which the regional government will not receive repayment. Expenditures can be understood as local government obligations that reduce net worth incurred as a result of past transactions. However, in this case it should be understood that regional spending is different from regional spending. Not all expenditures made by local governments that cause a reduction in cash in the regional general treasury accounts are categorized as expenditures. However, each expenditure is a regional government expenditure. Regional government spending can be in the form of spending or it can also be financing expenditures. Both types of expenditure, both regional expenditure and financing expenditure, both require evidence of cash disbursement. The difference is that for financing expenses requires supporting evidence in the form of memorial evidence and requires DPRB approval (Mahmudi, 2. A cording to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, regional expenditures are all regional obligations that are recognized as a deduction from the value of net assets in the relevant fiscal year period. Another definition of this spending is as explained in the regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs No. 13 of 2006, spending is the obligation of the local government which is recognized as a deduction from net worth. Meanwhile, spending in the government accounting environment in Indonesia is defined as all expenditures of the state/regional general treasury that reduce the equity of current funds in the period of the relevant fiscal year for which the government will not recover payments. RESEARCH METHODS Expenditure Growth Analysis Expenditure growth analysis is useful for knowing the development of spending from year to year. In general spending has a tendency to always go up. Reasons for spending increases are usually associated with adjustments to inflation, changes in the rupiah exchange rate, changes in the amount of service coverage, and adjustments to macroeconomic factors. the implementation of regional autonomy, regional governments must be able to control spending areas, make spending efficiencies and save budgets. Expenditure growth analysis is carried out to find out how much growth each expenditure has, whether the growth is rational and can be accounted for. According toMahmudi . Expenditure growth must be followed by balanced revenue growth, because if not, in the medium term it can disrupt the sustainability and fiscal health of the region. Regional spending growth can be calculated using the formula.

Analysis Of Regional Government Expenditures Of Central Bangka Regency Analysis of Operational Expenditures on Total Expenditures The analysis of operational spending on total spending is a comparison between total operating spending and total regional spending. Operating expenditures are expenditures whose benefits are consumed within one fiscal year, so these operating expenditures are shortterm in nature and in certain cases are routine or recurrent. In general, the proportion of operating expenditure dominates total regional expenditure, namely between 60-90 percent. Regional governments with high levels of regional income tend to have a higher share of operational spending than local governments with low levels of income. The ratio of operating expenses to total spending is formulated as follows: Ratio of Operating Expenditure to Total Expenditure = Realisasi Belanja Operasi Total belanja Daerah Capital Expenditure Analysis of Total Expenditures The analysis of capital expenditure to total expenditure is a comparison between the total realized capital expenditure and the total regional expenditure. Based on this report, it will be known the portion of regional expenditure allocated for investment in the form of capital expenditure in the relevant fiscal year. Expenditures of capital expenditure will provide benefits in the medium and long term. Capital expenditure will affect the regional government's balance sheet, namely increasing the number of regional assets. Regional governments with low levels of regional income have a high share of total capital expenditure compared to regional governments with high incomes. This is because local governments with low income levels are oriented towards making capital expenditures as part of long-term capital investment, while governments with high incomes usually have sufficient capital In general, the proportion of capital expenditure to total regional expenditure is between 5-20 percent. The ratio of capital expenditure to total expenditure is formulated as Ratio of Capital Expenditures to Total Expenditures = Realisasi Belanja Modal Total Belanja Daerah Ratio of Regional Expenditure to PDRB The ratio of regional spending to PDRB is a comparison between total regional spending and PDRB produced by the region.
