Dengan menggunakan data set tahun 2009 yang berisi 383 laporan keuangan pemda, penelitian ini merujuk pada agensi teori sebagai dasar pembentukan hipotesis yang memprediksi bahwa kekuatan suara partai politik akan mempengaruhi laporan keuangan. Hasil analisa gagal dalam mendukung hipotesis karena semua variabel voting secara insignifikan mempengaruhi opini. Namun demikian terdapat beberapa petunjuk yang berharga untuk dijadikan dasar dalam penelitian selanjutnya. Pertama, terdapat faktor pembelajaran dalam partai politik. Ke dua, pemda yang berada di jawa lebih mungkin mendapatkan opini selain wajar. Hal in tentu saja berlawanan dengan perkiraan yang bersumber dari hipotesis monitoring. Selanjutnya, penelitian ini meninggalkan masalah linearitas dan endogenitas dan oleh karena itu hasil temuan harus diintepretasikan secara hati-hati.Kata Kunci:voting right, blockholder, political party, local government, agency theory, auditor opinion.
