× ABSTRACT The use of financial ratios to measure financial performance is a common practice in private sector. However, this research uses those ratios and applies them in public sector. This research is a modified replication from Cohen (2008) which investigates factors influencing financial performance in Indonesian local governments. Financial performance is represented by financial ratios comprising profitability ratios, short term solvency ratio, capital structure ratios and performance ratios. The conjectured factors which influence financial performance are macroeconomic factors represented by GRDP and inflation, size represented by population, and geographical factors represented by administrative status of local governments and island-based location of local governments. This research employs audited financial reports from 281 local governments for 2006 and 255 local governments for 2007. The financial reports included in data analysis are those which do not have adverse and disclaimer opinions. Ordinary least squares regression technique is employed for testing the hypothesis for cross-sectional data. In addition, panel analysis is employed to test the time change effect. This research finds that macroeconomic factors represented by GRDP and inflation influence all financial ratios except capital structure ratio. Size represented by population influences all financial ratios except performance ratios. Geographical factors represented by administrative status of local government influence all financial ratios. However, geographical factors represented by island-based location of local government does not influence debt related ratios.
