Empirical analysis shows local government size positively affects financial performance, while legislative size negatively impacts it.
Regional financial performance is measured through the independence ratio which reflects the ability of regional autonomy. However, the low independence ratio in most regions indicates that regional autonomy has not been running optimally.

The data used is secondary data from the www.jabar.bps.go.id and www.jabar.bpk.go.id of 2019-2023.
