The research results show that village apparatus competence, organizational commitment, and the whistleblowing system have affects on village financial management. Work motivation can moderate and strengthen the relationship between organizational commitment and village financial management. Besides, it does not strengthen the relationship between whistleblowing on village financial management. This research makes a valuable contribution to the accounting field, particularly in the context of public sector organizations, by applying Stewardship theory.
