It has a significant impact on the adoption of accounting for regional assets dominated by fixed assets. The testing method employed in this research is quantitative.

The sample that can be used in this study amounted to 241 respondents regarding the number of questionnaires that have been filled by respondents through Google form. The findings of this study suggest that employee competence is associated with the implementation of accrual-based accounting on regional property. In contrast, organizational commitment is not associated with the implementation of accrual-based accounting on regional property.
