JAKARTA, BPK Public Relations – The Chair of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK), Isma Yatun, opens the 2023 BPK executive working meeting at the BPK Head Office in Jakarta on Monday. In the meeting, the Chair asks all BPK employees to increase ownership, commitment and contribution in implementing BPK's strategic plan.

"Lessons learned and evaluation of the 2020-2024 strategic plan are needed to determine strategies relevant to the needs and challenges emerged in 2025 up to 2029, including strategies that need to be adjusted or discontinued," the Chair said.

In order to meet the objectives and expectations as well as implement planned strategies, the Chair emphasizes that all working units must continue to improve effective coordination and collaboration. According to her, synergy across ministries/institutions and all levels of the government must be optimized to be successful in transforming the pattern of managing the government programs and activities as described in the concept of a whole of government.

"BPK must be ready to adjust its business processes by increasing collaboration among all working units, so the audit results can comprehensively illustrate the performance of the management of government programs and activities and can be significantly beneficial for the stakeholders," She explained.

Entitled "Unifying Determination to Create a Resilient BPK for the Advancement of Indonesia", the working meeting is attended by 105 participants consisting of the Board, high level officials and directors both from the Head Office and Regional Offices.

In the same occasion, Vice Chair Hendra Susanto in his speech invites the participants to look back again at BPK's achievements and rooms for improvements to achieve BPK's vision and missions.

"In this occasion, I would like to invite all participants to reflect on this question: Quo Vadis BPK? or where is BPK going?" Vice Chair said.

"Currently, BPK has entered into the fourth year of the implementation of the 2020-2024 strategic plan, there is only one year and a half left until the end of the period of the strategic plan. For this reason, the meeting is the right momentum to take a comprehensive reflection on to which extent BPK has realized its vision and missions and what still needs to be improved in the next year and a half," he added.

The working meeting lasts for two days, from Monday, 28 August 2023 to Tuesday, 29 August 2023. All BPK leaders are present to provide guidance in auditing and institutional planning of the second semester of 2023, 2024 and 2025, while addressing strategic actual issues.
