In his remarks, Board Member V of BPK revealed five main findings that require attention:

1. Fixed assets of land at the location of the Land Use Permit (SIPPT) have the potential to be recorded twice.
2. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has not received any revenues from land leases by PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro), Bank DKI, and other third parties, nor has it received potential revenues from the use of Regional Property (BMD) that has not been supported by a cooperation agreement.
3. No fines have been imposed for the volume shortage and the delay in the completion of multiple work packages.
4. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government lacks a mechanism for documenting direct grant receipts from the central government.
