ABSTRACT Abstract of Final Paper submitted to the Examination Committee in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Akuntansi at Economics and Business Faculty of Syiah Kuala University. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND GOVERNMENT SIZE IN RELATION TO FINANCIAL LOSSES: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF AUDIT FINDINGS AND THE MODERATING ROLE OF FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS ON AUDIT RESULTS By: Heru Nugraha Maulana M 2401203010026 Concentration: Government Accounting Supervisors : Prof. Dr. Mirna Indriani, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA Co-Supervisors : Dr. Darwanis, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA., Asean CPA The study is intended to analyze the effect of capital expenditure and local government size on financial losses, with audit findings as a mediating variable and follow-up of audit recommendations as a moderating variable. Financial losses reflect weak governance and accountability in public financial management and therefore require an exploration of the factors influencing them. An explanatory research design based on a quantitative approach is employed in this study. The data used are secondary panel data obtained from the Audit Reports and the Summary of Semester Audit Results issued by the Supreme Audit Institution of Indonesia (BPK RI), covering 224 regency and municipal governments for the period 2020–2024, resulting in 1,120 observations. To analyze the data, this study utilized a Fixed Effect Model within a panel data regression framework. The mediating effect was tested using the Sobel test, while the moderating effect was examined using Moderated Regression Analysis. The results reveal a positive relationship between capital expenditure, government size, and financial losses. Capital expenditure and government size also have a positive effect on audit findings, and audit findings significantly affect financial losses. Furthermore, audit findings mediate the relationship between capital expenditure, government size, and financial losses. However, the follow-up of audit recommendations is not effective in weakening the effect of audit findings on financial losses. Keywords: Capital expenditure, government size, audit findings, audit follow-up, financial losses.
