- Abstract
Accountability in governance is important for five reasons: as a form of democratic oversight, strengthening the integrity of governance, strengthening organizational norms, legitimizing governance, catharis, and implementation of democratic values. Thus, accountability becomes a key of good governance. Then how is accountability theory used to look at the village financial management? Public budgeting is a constituent area of interest and a product of power struggles between groups of actors (Morgan, 2002). The management of village finances is related to the power relations between several actors involved in the formulation. Therefore, there should be a norm of accountability to control the struggle between interests in the process so that power is not centered. The methods of this research used systematic literature review and analysis of document contents. The study finds the paradox of village fund accountability, which results in pseudo accountability. Further research suggests a quantitative study to explain the relation of power and the cultural environment of society triggers the paradox of accountability.
