The research data was obtained through questionnaires to 128 financial management officials at 75 State Universities of the Ministry of Education and Culture. The data analysis method used SEM-PLS with the SmartPLS 3.0 application. The results of this study showed that employee competence, accounting information systems, and internal control systems had a positive effect on the quality of financial statements. Leadership style as a moderating variable was able to strengthen the influence of employee competence, and accounting information systems on the quality of financial statements and weaken the influence of the internal control system on the quality of financial statements.
