JAKARTA, BPK Public Relations – The Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK) officially submitted Audit Reports on the Financial Statements of Central Government (LKPP) for Fiscal Year 2024 and the Summary of Audit Results for the Second Semester (IHPS II) of 2024 to the Regional House Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPD RI). The submission took place at DPD RI Building in Jakarta on Wednesday (28/5). The reports were received directly by Vice Speaker of DPD RI, Yorrys Raweyai.

In his remarks, Vice Chair of BPK, Budi Prijono, stated that BPK had successfully completed the audit of LKPP for fiscal year 2024 in timely manner, following the receipt of the unaudited financial statements from the government on March 21, 2025. Based on the audit results, BPK provided an Unqualified Opinion on LKPP for fiscal year 2024.

This Unqualified Opinion aligns with the audit results of the Financial Statements of the State Treasurer (LKBUN) and 84 Ministries/Institutions (LKKL), both of which also received an Unqualified Opinion. Meanwhile, two LKKLs received Qualified Opinions, but these did not significantly affect the overall fairness of LKPP.

“BPK’s audit results highlighted two key issues that need to be addressed, namely incomplete reporting of the utilization and remaining funds from Transfers to Regions (TKD) by local governments, and insufficient accountability of grants to General Elections Commission (KPU) and General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) for the implementation of the Simultaneous Regional Elections in 2024,” said the Vice Chair of BPK.

He emphasized that the audit of LKPP transcends annual routine; it represents a constitutional commitment to ensure that the State Budget (APBN) is managed effectively for the benefit of the people. This commitment aligns with the national development agenda set forth in the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025-2029, as well as the enactment of Law Number 1 of 2022 concerning Financial Relations between Central Government and Local Governments (HKPD Law) along with its implementing regulation, namely Government Regulation Number 1 of 2024 on the Harmonization of National Fiscal Policy. This has introduced a new paradigm in the management of central and regional finances.

Furthermore, Vice Chair of BPK highlighted that the IHPS II 2024 includes 511 audit reports, consisting of 16 Financial Statement Audits, 227 Performance Audit Reports, and 268 Special Purposes Audits (PDTT). Specifically, for Local Governments and Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMDs), a total of 329 financial statements were summarized, which included 47 thematic performance audit reports related to national environmental development priorities under National Priority 6 (PN6).

“During the second semester of 2024, BPK succeeded in saving state finances from potential losses, actual losses, and revenue shortfalls totalling Rp43.43 trillion. BPK also contributed to generate savings in government spending by rectifying subsidies/Public Service Obligations (PSO)/Compensations in 2023 totalling Rp1.09 trillion. Consequently, these audits led to the return of Rp1.00 trillion to the state, regional, company, or other agency treasuries during the audit process,” he said.

“The North Sumatra Provincial Government and the East Java Provincial Government were the two local governments that made the largest deposits and/or asset transfers,” he added.

BPK expressed appreciation for the continued synergy with DPD RI, which has been essential in fostering transparent and accountable state budget management. This collaboration establishes a crucial basis for safeguarding the integrity of state financial management through independent and high-quality audits.

Present at this activity were Board Member III of BPK, Akhsanul Khaq, Council Members of DPD RI, and Senior High-Level Officials within BPK.
