BPK: Collective Dedication is the Key to Successful Audits

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Chair of the Financial Audit Board (BPK), Isma Yatun, stated that synergy and collective dedication across all audit teams are the key to successful examinations. “In the quality assurance ecosystem, quality control serves as the frontline conducted by the audit teams, while quality assurance is implemented in stages to ensure the objectivity and integrity of audit results,” she said, quoted from an official BPK statement in Jakarta on Monday. In line with BPK’s Strategic Plan (Renstra) mission of producing quality and beneficial audits, BPK is tasked with generating examinations grounded in compliance with standards and accuracy of results, capable of providing tangible impact and added value to all stakeholders. Furthermore, the BPK Chair stated that the synergy in quality assurance involving the Directorate of Audit Management (DPP), the Centre for Evaluation and Audit Reporting (EPP), and the Inspectorate for Audit Quality Assurance (PKMP) forms a strategic pillar in supporting the role of the Directorate General of State Financial Audit (Ditjen PKN), as well as BPK representatives, to guarantee the integrity of audit results. This collaboration integrates various key roles, from quality assurance evaluation and monitoring of Follow-up on Audit Recommendations (TLRHP), comprehensive analysis and evaluation of audit results, to assurance and advisory functions to ensure audit quality. “I encourage the optimisation of the DPP’s role, which was established last year, as well as the intensification of quality reviews by the inspectorate through hot reviews to ensure that every stage of the audit runs accountably and produces optimal added value for BPK,” Isma stated during the entry meeting for the Quality Control Review of Audit Assignments on the Central Government Financial Statements (LKPP), State Treasurer Financial Statements (LKBUN), Ministry and Institution Financial Statements (LKKL), and Regional Government Financial Statements (LKPD) for 2025. The BPK Chair also conveyed a message to directors and representatives to conduct strict monitoring of the implementation of risk-based strategies in their respective work units. She emphasised the importance of targeted sample planning and time allocation.
