JAKARTA, BPK Public Relations - Vice Chair of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK) Hendra Susanto submitted two Calculation of State Loss Reports (PKN) and one Investigative Audit Report directly to Chair of Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolango at BPK Head Office in Jakarta on Monday (15/1). Both investigative audits and PKN were performed at KPK’s request.

Vice Chair of BPK in his remarks stated that the reports submitted are PKN on Procurement of Indonesian Manpower Protection System at the Directorate General of Manpower Placement Development of the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration for Fiscal Year 2012. Based on the audit, BPK concluded that there were irregularities indicating criminal actions committed by related parties in the procurement planning process, selection of providers, implementation and payment of work outcomes resulting in state financial losses.

Another report of PKN submitted is the Procurement of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Corpus Christi Liquefaction LLC at PT Pertamina (LLC). Based on the audit, BPK concluded that there were irregularities indicating criminal actions committed by related parties in the procurement process of LNG Corpus Christi Liquefaction LLC which resulted in state financial losses to PT Pertamina (LLC).

Meanwhile, the Investigative Audit Reports submitted is the audit on investment activities in the form of acquisition of Maurel & Prom (M&P) Company by PT Pertamina (LLC) through PT Pertamina International Exploration and Production (PIEP) from 2012 to 2020. Based on the audit, BPK concluded that there were irregularities indicating criminal actions committed by related parties which resulted in indications of state financial losses to PT Pertamina (Persero).

Chair of KPK in his remarks expressed his appreciation for BPK’s audits, which can be completed quickly. KPK expects that in the future, cooperation on PKN and investigative audits may be strengthened.

The cooperation between KPK and BPK can be strengthened. This is particularly during the investigation process in cases involving the case building method, which is different from the cases typically handled by KPK, that use the sting operation method (OTT) with relatively small value of state losses,” said Chair of KPK.

Chair of BPK Isma Yatun, Board Member I of BPK I Nyoman Adhi Suryadnyana, Vice Chair of KPK Alexander Marwata, Director General of Investigative Audit Hery Subowo, Director General of Audit I Akhsanul Khaq, Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Rudi Setiawan and high-level officials of BPK and KPK attended the meeting.

According to BPK Regulation Number 1 of 2020 concerning Investigative Audit, Calculation of State/Regional Losses, and Providing Expert Testimony (PKA), BPK carries out the Investigative Audit to disclose indications of state/regional losses and/or criminal elements within the scope of management and responsibility of state finances. Meanwhile, PKN is carried out to disclose the existence or absence of state/regional losses, and is carried out by BPK in the process of investigating a criminal offense by the authorized agency.
