This study intends to look at the impact of performance measurement orientation towards transparency of the reporting of local administration. The method used is qualitative by (1) analysis of literatures and some of the laws and regulations that relate to a model of performance measurement that has ever been and is being implemented in Gorontalo and (2) content analysis, by analyzing each performance report both for input oriented as well as output and outcome oriented.
