Uncovering the Key Factors Behind the Decline in SAKIP Performance: A Case Study of BPS Kabupaten Bantul

This study aims to analyze the causes behind the decline in the performance evaluation of the Government Performance Accountability System (SAKIP) at the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bantul Regency in 2023. The research adopts a qualitative approach with data collection methods including interviews, observations, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with five informants who are employees of BPS Bantul Regency. The findings indicate that the decline in SAKIP performance evaluation is attributed to several key factors: changes in evaluation criteria according to the latest regulations, a lack of human resources (HR) knowledge regarding SAKIP implementation, low organizational commitment, suboptimal dissemination of SAKIP guidelines, minimal guidance from the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP), and inadequate management of performance planning and reporting documents. The implications of these findings are expected to provide constructive recommendations and inputs for improving and enhancing SAKIP implementation at BPS Bantul Regency, thereby supporting the enhancement of accountability and performance in government agencies.
