Random musings on the BPKP

Random musings on the BPKP

From Bisnis Indonesia

I don't quite know how good the Development Finance
Comptroller (BPKP) is at auditing ministries, non-ministerial
government institutions and state-owned enterprises. Perhaps, the
result of these audits show indications of irregularities in
these institutions.

Then what about the work of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), an
institution doing a job similar to BPKP?

Don't these two institutions find themselves competing with
each other to get auditing jobs at a number of ministries and
state-owned enterprises?

It stands to reason that lay people have suggested the two
agencies be merged, as both have the same mission and vision in
auditing government institutions and state-owned enterprises.

Hopefully, the BPKP will continue to improve and will never
compromise with government agencies allegedly involved in
siphoning off state funds.
