Abstract

This study aims to describe evaluation of implementation local government information systemin financial administration at Regional Secretary in Buton regency . This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data was collected using interview, observation and documentation techniques. The results showed  in terms of context, prior to SIPDP, the Buton District Government used a regional financial management information system (SIMDA). SIMDA was not yet integrated with other systems, resulting in a lack of data synchronisation and efficiency in the online payment process and data verification. After the implementation of SIPD, there was a strengthening of digitalisation and automation of financial processes. Accuracy, validation between components and transparency of financial administration in the Regional Secretariat of Buton Regency can be achieved, but speed is not yet consistent. In the input aspect, employees who apply the SIPD system in financial administration rely heavily on manual e-books (modules) from the RI SIPD system. The application of SIPD has not been maximised due to the lack of understanding of some employees who operate the SIPD application. Facilities and infrastructure available in implementing SIPD in financial administration Laptops and PCs/Computers and printers are limited because, the specifications owned are old and hamper the work of employees, plus frequent internet network disruptions. The financial administration process at the Buton Regency Regional Secretariat has been adjusted to permendagri no.70 of 2019. Monitoring and supervision and evaluation are carried out regularly. Every input of financial data goes through a tiered verification process by relevant officials. The implementation of SIPD is in accordance with the specified schedule and time. The main operator handling SIPD demonstrates the ability to manage, validate and complete data input according to procedures. However, due to uneven capacity, there is reliance on a few key people who master SIPD. In the product aspect, the implementation of SIPD at the Buton Regency Regional Secretariat has brought positive changes but there are still obstacles in recording, bookkeeping, inventorying because errors still occur.
