According to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, villages have full authority to regulate and manage all their affairs, including aspects of governance and community interests (Husna et , 2. The Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBDe. is an essential tool at the village level for ensuring that good governance is achieved. The Village Regulation on the APBDes determines the amount of funds to be received by the village for the following year and the planned activities to be funded by the village revenue budget, whether through village funds, village fund allocations, original village revenue, profit-sharing income, or other income (Husna et al. , 2. (Husna et al. , 2. explain that to achieve good governance, particularly in the management of the Village Budget (APBDe. , there is a relationship between transparency, accountability, and participation. Transparency can encourage better public accounting, while public participation can only occur when there is public oversight and participation in decisionmaking. Government accountability is supported by information transparency and public International Journal of Economics.

The findings of the study (Nawangsari, 2. , which indicated that community engagement had a partial and significant influence on the management of the Village Budget in Sidokare Village, served as the foundation for this. This is in line with the research of (Husna et al. , 2. which stated that community participation influenced the management of the revenue and expenditure budget in Tamansatriyan Village. Tirtoyudo District. Malang Regency. In contrast to the results of (Puspitasari et al. , 2. research which stated that community participation partially had no effect on the management of Village Budget funds. (Abdhilla, 2. research which revealed that transparency significantly influenced the effectiveness of Village Budget governance by increasing information disclosure and public In contrast to the results of (Puspitasari et al. , 2. research which stated that transparency partially had no effect on the management of Village Budget funds. Based on research by (Sukma Tangahu et al. , 2. , accountability has a significant effect on Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget Management (APBDe. These results differ from the research results of (Cantona et al. , 2. which stated that accountability does not have a significant effect on Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget Management. Village officials are human resources who manage village finances. The results of research by (Saputra et al. which stated that the role of village officials does not have a significant effect on Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget Management (APBDe. in Juwiring District. Klaten Regency. This is not in line with the results of previous research conducted by (Kusumaningrum et al. , 2. which showed a positive influence from the role of village officials in managing the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBDe. Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget management is highly vulnerable to misappropriation by directly involved parties. According to statistics from Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), the incidence of corruption at the village level is on the rise and has consistently been the industry with the highest rate of corruption prosecutions by law enforcement authorities between 2015 and 2021. During those seven years, there were 592 instances of corruption in villages, with state losses totaling Rp433. 8 billion. In 2022, this trend persisted, with 155 instances of corruption in the village sector . 77% of all corruption cases dealt with by law enforcemen. , 133 cases involving Village Funds, and 22 cases involving village income (Aurindah & Arham, 2. Allegations of misappropriation and abuse of power in village financial management can also occur in any village. Based on the results of previous research, it shows that there are still differences in research results regarding the influence of community participation, transparency, accountability, and the role of village officials on the management of the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APB Des. , thus encouraging researchers to raise the topic again in a study. The villages of Boyolali Regency's Sawit District in Central Java Province served as the setting for this study. The twelve villages of Bendosari. Cepokosawit. Gombang. Guwokajen. Jatirejo. Jenengan.

Village Secretary. Head of Affairs. Head of Section, and the Village Consultative Body (BPD) as community representatives. The majority of respondents were male, aged 51-60, with a high school education or equivalent, and with more than 10 years of service experience. In the Results: Validity Test According to the data validity test, the Sig. value is less than 0. 05 and the r count is higher than the r table, leading to the conclusion that all statement items are valid. Reliability Test All research variable instruments, namely independent and dependent variables, have a Cronbach's Alpha value of more than 0. 70, so it can be concluded that all research variables are reliable. Normality Test The results of the normality test using SPSS version 27. 0, namely the significance value of One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov on Asymp. Sig. -taile. 153 where the value is greater than = 0. 153 > 0. thus it can be concluded that the data is normally Multicollinearity Test The multicollinearity test's findings reveal that there is no correlation between the independent variables in the regression model since the Tolerance value for each independent variable is higher than 0. 10 and the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) calculation shows that the VIF value for each independent variable is lower than 10. Therefore, it may be inferred that the regression model does not exhibit any indications of multicollinearity. Heteroscedasticity Test The SPSS version 27. 0 output for the Spearman's Rho heteroscedasticity test reveals that the significance value of each independent variable on the residual value is greater than 0. As a result, we may say that there are no indications of heteroscedasticity.

The conclusion is AuCommunity participation has a significant effect on the Management of Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APB Des. Ay. Community participation is indeed influential in the management of the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APB Des. This can be seen as participatory development with financial management that prioritizes community needs based on deliberation. Community participation is one element that supports the implementation of village development through better management of the APB Desa. The community is not only an object of development but also involved as a subject in that development. Village community awareness to participate will ensure that the planned development results run according to community needs (Adeliya et al. , 2. Community participation does influence the management of the APB Desa. This is in line with the research findings of (Nawangsari, 2. , which stated that community participation partially had a positive and significant effect on the management of the Village Budget (APBDe. in Sidokare Village. Similarly, the research findings of (Husna et al. , 2. indicated that community participation influenced the management of the revenue and expenditure budget in Tamansatriyan Village. Tirtoyudo District. Malang Regency. These findings differ from the research findings of (Puspitasari et al. , 2. , which stated that community participation partially had no effect on the management of Village Budget funds.

The results of the data processing, the calculated t is greater than the t table . 908 > 1. 98969 t tabl. and the significance level is 0. 005 < 0. The conclusion is AuTransparency has a significant effect on the Management of Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APB Des. Ay. Transparency in the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APB Des. is a sign of effective communication and accountability. One tenet of transparency ensures that all citizens have access to or the freedom to get information about the way government is run, specifically about policies, decision-making procedures, their implementation, and the outcomes that have been produced. To put it differently, openness is a better way to communicate with the public and the outside world (Puspitasari et al. , 2. With openness and transparency in the management of the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget, financial management can be said to be good because it is accessible to the public. Transparency in the results of this study has an impact on the management of the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APB Des. This aligns with (Abdhilla, 2. research, which found that transparency significantly impacts the effectiveness of village budget governance by increasing information disclosure and public This contrasts with (Puspitasari et al. , 2. research, which found that transparency had no partial impact on village budget management.

The conclusion is AuAccountability has a significant effect on Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget Management (APB Des. Ay. Accountability is a form of accountability provided by a public entity in managing village Accountable management of the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APB Des. promotes responsible financial management. Accountability does indeed influence the management of the APB Desa by the Village Government as a public entity. This is in line with the research findings of (Sukma Tangahu et al. , 2. which stated that accountability significantly influences Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget Management (APBDe. , but differs from the research findings of (Cantona et al. , 2. which stated that accountability does not significantly influence Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget Management. Accountability in Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget management is a form of implementing Village Government responsibility. The Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget, which reflects village financial management, must be accountable to relevant parties.
