This paper examines the factors that influence the intention to use FMIS in Indonesia’s local governments, especially in East Java region. The study model used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) that focuses on two specific salient beliefs-perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. However, this has not discouraged researchers from incorporating additional constructs to the original model in their quest for increased predictive power. Here, an attempt is made to explain local governments' intention to use FMIS. Besides perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, compatibility, external technical support, and management support are included in an extended TAM. The research data was obtained through questionnaires to 180 respondents of planning and financial managers at 9 local governments of the East Java region. The data analysis method used SEM-PLS with the SmartPLS 3.0 application. The results of this study showed that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are influenced by compatibility, external technical support, and management support. Compatibility also influenced intentions to use FMIS, and perceived ease of use influenced perceived usefulness. Intention to use FMIS was also affected by perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Lastly, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use did not create a mediating effect between external variables and intention to use FMIS. This study concludes that TAM and external variables affect interest in using FMIS.

This study aims to examine the association between banks and firms in a loan. Our data set was pooled cross section data from 2014 to 2016, with long-term loans of firms listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange as a unit of analysis. We estimate our regression model using ordinary least square (OLS) estimator. The results revealed that lower-risk banks tend to associate with riskier but well-performing firms. Similarly, lower-capital banks tend to associate with riskier but well-performing firms. These results are quite contrary to previous studies conducted in developed countries. Lower risk banks have relationship with riskier and well-performing firms in condition that the amount of loan is small enough to be considered safe. Meanwhile, lower capital banks in this study, especially in Indonesia, may face the geographical problem which drives cost so high that makes banks charge higher interest to possibly riskier firms. This study makes contribution by providing evidence from a relative fragmented credit market. Future research on this topic is encouraged to look out more detail especially in the causality interpretation.
