BPK urges ministry and agency leaders to address recurring findings in financial reports

Jakarta — A member of the State Audit Board (BPK), Bobby Adhityo Rizaldi, has called on ministry and agency leadership to give serious attention to recurring findings in financial reports.

In a written statement received in Jakarta on Saturday, the BPK stated that Rizaldi made this request during the entry meeting for the audit of financial reports from eight ministries and agencies under the Directorate General of State Finance Audit V (Ditjen PKN V).

“Ministers and agency heads are expected to continue giving serious attention to recurring findings, particularly concerning cash management, inventory, fixed assets, optimisation of state revenue, and compliance with expenditure implementation,” said Rizaldi.

To prevent similar issues from recurring, the ministries and agencies are expected to disseminate BPK audit results to all levels of their organisations so that risk mitigation can be carried out early and governance improvements can proceed systematically.

The audit of the eight entities was attended by their respective leaders, including Religious Affairs Minister Nasaruddin Umar, Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian, Deputy Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, Chair of the Halal Product Guarantee Implementation Board Ahmad Haikal Hasan, Chair of the Hajj Financial Management Board (BPKH) Fadlul Imansyah, Chair of the Batam Authority Amsakar Achmad, and Chair of the Management Authority for the Sabang Free Trade and Free Port Zone Iskandar Zulkarnaen.

During the meeting, the Religious Affairs Minister expressed his hope that the audit would provide constructive recommendations as learning material for his ministry. This represents the ministry’s commitment to improving financial governance and reporting accountability.

Meanwhile, Home Affairs Minister and Chair of the National Border Management Agency (BNPP) Muhammad Tito Karnavian also confirmed his readiness to support the audit process.

“The findings will serve as feedback for the ministry and will be addressed promptly in accordance with applicable legislation,” said Tito.

The audit covers Ministry and Agency Financial Reports (LKKL), Financial Reports on Foreign Loans and/or Grants (PHLN), and Financial Reports on the Budget Section of the State Treasurer (BA BUN) for 2025 as part of the Central Government Financial Report Audit (LKPP) for 2025, as well as Special Purpose Audits (PDTT).
