This evaluation focuses on two things, namely the suitability of regional budgeting regulations and policies with applicable laws and regulations, as well as a review mechanism for each budget change. This research was motivated by changes in central government regulations in dealing with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic that affected the budgeting structure of local governments. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The analysis uses content and thematic methods with document analysis, questionnaires, and interviews. The results showed that the regulations and budgeting of the AAA District Government during the Covid-19 pandemic did not fully refer to the applicable provisions. The results of the analysis show that there are policies and budgeting documents that have not been adjusted to central government regulations, such as rationalization of expenditure on goods and services and capital expenditures of less than 50% and general allocation fund budget allocations that have not been in accordance with the provisions. The review mechanism in each budget change has also not been implemented adequately, including reviews that are not in-depth and the implementation of reviews that are not carried out for each change.
