Accountability is not solely related to financial reporting and programs made, but also related to public legitimacy.

This type of research uses the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method approach and the help of Super Decision software. The number of respondents in this study amounted to 11 people consisting of three academics, four regulators, and four practitioners. The results showed that according to the respondents, the priority of financial accountability issues was that financial transparency was still low, the second priority was that Nazir had not been able to prepare reports according to standards and the third priority was that the use of reporting information systems was still low.
