According to the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs No. 13 of 2006 which was later replaced by Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 59 of 2007 concerning Guidelines for Regional Financial Management, the APBD is the regional government's annual financial plan that is discussed and agreed upon jointly by the regional government and the DPRD, and is stipulated by regional regulations. The APBD begins with the preparation of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget Draft (RAPBD) which is prepared starting from the organization, activity programs, and types of spending. The purpose of this practice is to find out how the procedures for the realization of the expenditure budget are at the General Section of the Medan City Regional Secretariat.
