Ministry of Cooperatives Achieves Unqualified Opinion from BPK for 2025 Fiscal Year
The Ministry of Cooperatives (Kemenkop) has achieved an Unqualified Opinion (WTP) from the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) for its 2025 Fiscal Year Financial Statements. The granting of this WTP opinion serves as an appreciation for the efforts of the entire Ministry of Cooperatives staff in managing the State Budget (APBN) accountably.
The Minister of Cooperatives, Ferry Juliantably, welcomed the results of the BPK audit regarding the Ministry’s 2025 financial reports. He made this statement after receiving the handover of the BPK 2025 Audit Result Report at the Ministry’s office in Jakarta today.
“The BPK audit results are not merely an administrative procedure, but a vital part of ensuring that all state budget and financial management processes comply with regulations and are accountable,” Ferry stated in a written release on Thursday (3/9/2026).
During the event, Ferry was accompanied by the Vice Minister of Cooperatives, Farida Farichah; BPK Member II Daniel Lumban Tobing; the Secretary of the Ministry of Cooperatives, Ahmad Zabadi; the President Director of the Revolving Fund Management Agency (LPDB) Koperasi, Krisdianto Soedarmono; Director General of PKN II, Nelson Ambarita; and Director of Audit Body II.D, Harry Purwaka.
He viewed the BPK audit results as a mirror reflecting what has been implemented well, while simultaneously identifying areas that still require improvement.
“All notes and recommendations provided by the BPK will be received openly and will be promptly followed up to improve the ministry’s financial governance,” Ferry asserted.
He ensured that the state budget is not merely figures on paper, but a public mandate that must be managed with the utmost care, where every rupiah planned, executed, and accounted for is strictly monitored. “Therefore, this WTP opinion serves as a momentum to continue strengthening financial governance and programme implementation within the Ministry of Cooperatives,” he added.
He also ensured that planning, budgeting, programme implementation, and reporting all operate within a systematic, orderly, transparent, and accountable framework. “All recommendations provided will be resolved quickly and punctually to improve work processes, strengthen supervision, and enhance the quality of governance within this Ministry,” he said.
Ferry expressed hope that the BPK would continue to provide input and guidance so that every improvement process adheres to the principles of prudence and compliance with regulations. The improvement of financial governance is ultimately aimed at enabling the Ministry of Cooperatives to better perform its duties and provide more tangible benefits to the community and the cooperative movement as a whole.
“Let us use these audit results as part of a continuous step to improve governance and the quality of task execution. I invite all levels of the ministry to maintain accountability in every programme implementation and budget usage,” he said.
Meanwhile, Daniel Lumban Tobing provided the WTP opinion for the Ministry’s 2025 financial reports. The audit was conducted based on Law Number 15 of 2004 concerning the Audit of State Financial Management and Responsibility, as well as Law Number 15 of 2006 concerning the BPK.
“The audit aims to provide an opinion on the fairness of the financial statements by considering four aspects: compliance with government accounting standards, adequacy of disclosure, compliance with laws and regulations, and the effectiveness of the internal control system,” he explained.
The BPK appreciated the Ministry of Cooperatives’ efforts in maintaining the quality of its financial reports. In accordance with regulations, the Ministry of Cooperatives is expected to submit a progress report on the follow-up of all BPK recommendations no later than 60 days after receiving the Audit Result Report.
