When the financial accountability reports from state subsidies are not in accordance with existing regulatory provisions, it can be ascertained how the form of financial accountability of political parties for funding sources that do not come from the state can be ascertained. Then another problem, namely the inability of the government to manage the financial assistance of political parties by providing accountability and transparency of political parties is accused of being one of the root causes of the management of financial assistance of political parties that are not in accordance with the principles of good governance. This research on the governance of the provision of financial assistance to political parties based on the principles of good governance uses a qualitative descriptive research approach.
