The scope of an internal audit is divided into three essential activities: preparation of work program plans, implementation, monitoring, and follow-up on findings.

This study employed the checklist based on PSAK 5 (2015 edition) and adopted a content analysis approach. To measure managerial ability, this study utilized the managerial ability score developed by Demerjian, Lev, McVay (2012) for Indonesian firms.

The valuation model test employed two regression equations, i.e., testing the relationship between earnings information and book value with stock prices and then testing the relationship between earnings information, book value, and cash flow with stock prices. In addition, the return model testing was performed to examine the relationship between earnings information and earnings changes with stock returns and the relationship between cash flow and cash flow changes with stock returns.

The corruption types could be the embezzlement of village funds and village-owned enterprise funds and the establishment of ghost (fictitious) villages. The results also identified some factors triggering graft corruption scandals, namely poor governance practices, including accountability, transparency, and valid administration; the excessive authority of actors (village heads) in holding and managing village money; lack of participation mechanism.Practical and Theoretical contribution/Originality: To tackle corruption in the village government, strengthening proper good governance practices must be tightened, not merely as ritual or ceremonial.
