Regarding Constitutional Court Ruling, Attorney General's Office Assures BPKP Can Still Audit State Losses, Not Just BPK

The controversy over which entity is authorised to calculate state losses in corruption cases has been addressed by the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung), following a ruling by the Constitutional Court (MK). Kejagung has emphasised that the Financial Audit Board (BPK) is not the only institution capable of conducting audits of state losses. This affirmation is outlined in a circular numbered B-1391/F/Fjp 04/2026, signed by the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah on behalf of the Attorney General. Head of the Legal Information Centre at Kejagung, Anang Supriatna, stated that the circular was issued to ensure all prosecutorial units have a uniform understanding and do not interpret the MK’s ruling in a piecemeal manner. “We have already issued a circular to the regions as a reminder that not everyone can interpret it independently. Read the MK’s ruling in its entirety. Not partially, like some of the considerations in the MK’s deliberations—don’t be rigid about it,” he said on Tuesday, 12 May 2026. Anang also addressed the prevalence of truncated information on social media, which he believes leads the public to misunderstand the MK’s ruling. He urged the public to read the official ruling document directly to avoid falling for misleading narratives. “Just read it in full (the points of the ruling). Friends, don’t just read snippets on TikTok, but read the MK’s ruling completely. There it states that other institutions can still be used,” he said. When asked if BPKP can still be used in calculating state losses, Anang confirmed that the authority remains. “(BPKP) can still, can still,” Anang reiterated. The circular was sent to all Chief Prosecutors across Indonesia to prevent differing interpretations in the field regarding MK Ruling Number 28/PUU XXIV/2026. Through the circular, Kejagung also reminded that audits of state losses can still be conducted by other entities such as the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP), inspectorates general, internal government oversight bodies, and certified public accountants.
