In addition, the stakeholders need to know what factors determine the variation in financial condition. Until now, in Indonesia, stakeholders have faced difficulties in knowing the soundness of local government financial conditions. The difficulties of knowing the financial condition of local government are due to lack of agreement about an effective assessment model and lack of uniformity in financial condition indicators (Chaney et al., 2002; Honadle, 2003; Kloha, et al., 2005b; Wang et al., 2007).
