Abstract Regional government financial performance measures regional independence in managing potential sources of regional original income (PAD) as the primary value for financing regional expenditure so that it does not depend on central government balancing funds. This research aims to test and determine the influence of (PAD) and balancing funds on the financial performance of the Jombang Regency regional government. Quantitative methods are used in this type of research. The sample for this research is five years from the Jombang Regency regional government budget realization report for The non-probability sampling method was used in this research, and saturated sampling techniques were utilized. The classical assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing were used as data analysis using SPSS 26 tools. The results of this research were that PAD and balancing funds had a positive and significant effect on the financial performance of the Jombang Regency regional government. Keywords: Regional Original Income (PAD). Balancing Funds. Regional Government Financial Performance. INTRODUCTION Regional governments must independently manage their government by increasing regional revenue sources to benefit the community and community services(Oktaviani & Rahayu, 2. Regional financial independence is regional governments' ability to finance government operational activities, community services, and development. Based on the amount of original regional income . rom now on referred to as PAD) each Regency/City government obtains, it can be seen. PAD is the primary value in measuring regional financial independence(Nurkhayati, 2. So, regional governments must encourage increasing PAD sources to meet regional needs and not depend on central government assistance. An increase in PAD can indicate that regional financial performance management is being carried out well by the region. (Verawaty et al. , 2. Apart from this, financial performance is an indicator that confirms a region's ability to implement financial implementation regulations well(Fernandes & Hilwani, 2. The hope is that the regional government, in this case, can maximize regional financial revenue sources in order to meet development and expenditure needs by utilizing PAD. Generally, the achievement of regional autonomy can be reviewed through PAD, but this is lacking, so regional governments tend to rely on transfers of central funds, namely balancing (Heryanti et al. , 2. Jombang Regency is one of the districts in East Java province that needs to measure the financial performance of its regional government to see the financial independence of the Jombang district regional government in financing the implementation of regional autonomy based on data from the Jombang Regency Regional Government Budget Realization Report for the 2018-2022 period.

This means that the Jombang Regency regional government can produce PAD that exceeds the budget. However, the increase in PAD was only sometimes stable from 2018 to 2022 because there was a decline in 2020 and 2022.

Jombang Regency Balancing Fund Graph for 2018-2022 Source: Jombang Regency Regional Government Budget Realization Report for 2018-2022 Based on figure 2, it explains that the balancing fund budget has increased in 2018, 2019, 2021. However, it has decreased in 2020. Moreover, the regional government realized a balance to balance9 2020 and 2022 under budget provisions. However, in 2021, the actual budget received by the regional government exceeds the budget provisions. The Jombang district regional government can reduce the contribution to the balancing fund in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022. However, the contribution to the balancing fund in 2021 must be increased compared to the budget. However, this could result in the realization that balancing funds in 2020 will decrease but will decrease the budget compared to the previous year. Table 1.

The Financial Performance Independence Ratio of the Jombang Regency Regional Government explains regional financial problems based on the Jombang Regency LRA for Some of the regional financial problems faced by Jombang Regency consist of . Regional governments are still highly dependent on the central government, which can be seen based on a large amount of transfer income from the center, . the capability of regional governments to manage potential sources of income is still shallow. Locally, this can be viewed based on the relatively small PAD compared to transfer income. The financial independence of the Jombang Regency Government still needs to be higher, namely less than 50%. The Influence of Original Regional Income (PAD) on Regional Government Financial Performance PAD is regional revenue that is obtained and collected based on statutory regulations. The sources of this income are the results of separate regional wealth management, regional taxes, regional levies, and other legitimate PADs. These sources influence regional development and the ability to extract PAD(Suwarsa & Sawal, 2. According to Heryanti et al. , the results obtained in their research show that PAD has a significant favorable influence on financial performance. this means that increasing PAD also causes regional financial performance to increase. Apart from that. PAD's impact on the financial performance of regional governments in North Sumatra Province has a positive influence(Sari et al. , 2. H1: PAD has a positive effect on Regional Government Financial Performance The Effect of Balancing Funds on Regional Government Financial Performance In summary, the results of central government policy in the context of financial harmony between regional and central governments in the decentralization aspect are expressed as balancing funds. The source of these funds is the APBN allocation to . regions in order to finance regional interests for decentralization(Ramadani & Muslimin, 2. According to Andaresta et al. in their research, the results showed that balancing funds on the financial performance of city or district governments in Sumatra Province had a negative influence. This condition indicates that the increase in the amount of balancing funds causes the financial independence of regional governments to decrease because they tend to remain dependent on funds from the center. This presentation aligns with research from Saleh . , which shows that balancing International Journal of Economy. Education and Entrepreneuship.
