This study was undertaken in all Indonesian communities to assess local finance management accountability. Random sampling was used to acquire survey data. 689 Indonesian village officials were studied. PLS-SEM analyzed data. This study found that village officials' competency, leadership, internal control, and external pressure affect village fund management accountability. Organizational commitment and internal control do not promote local fund management accountability in Indonesia. Village finance management accountability and prosocial conduct regulate and improve leadership. Official leadership, internal control, and prosocial behavior promote village money management accountability. This work advances agency theory, stewardship theory, role theory, quality theory and financial accounting and public sector accounting, particularly in village governance.
