JAKARTA, BPK Public Relations – Based on BPK’s audit on Financial Statements of Central Government (LKPP), Financial Statements of Ministries/Institutions (LKKL), and Financial Statements of State Treasury (LK BUN) for Fiscal Year of 2021, the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK) gives Unqualified Opinion (WTP) on LKPP for Fiscal Year of 2021 in all material respects in accordance with Government Accounting Standards.

This was conveyed by Chairperson of BPK, Isma Yatun when handing the Audit Report on LKPP for Fiscal Year of 2021 to House of Representatives (DPR) during the Plenary Session of DPR in Nusantara II Building, Parliament Complex in Jakarta on Tuesday (14/6).

Chairperson of BPK explained that the Unqualified Opinion on LKPP for Fiscal Year of 2021 is based on the Unqualified Opinion obtained by 83 Financial Statements of Ministries/Institutions and 1 Financial Statements of State Treasury for Fiscal Year of 2021, which have significant impact to the LKPP for Fiscal Year of 2021.

There are four Ministries/Institutions, namely Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Manpower, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), and The Indonesian Institute of Science, whose Financial Statements for Fiscal Year of 2021 obtain Qualified Opinion (WDP). In general, however, the audit opinion obtained by these four Ministries/Institutions do not have material impact to the fairness of the LKPP for Fiscal Year of 2021.

“The results of BPK audit also disclose some findings related to weaknesses in the Internal Control System and non-compliance with statutory regulations. Although the findings do not have material impacts to the fairness of the LKPP for Fiscal Year of 2021, the government still needs to follow-up the findings in order to improve the management of State Budget,” explained Chairperson of BPK.

In addition to that, Chairperson of BPK stated that in order to optimize the quality of LKPP, as accountability for the implementation of State Budget, BPK encourages the Government to make effective efforts in completing the audit recommendations given by BPK, particularly those related to the audit results of LKPP, LKKL, and LK BUN.

During the period of 2005 to 2021, BPK has submitted 19.802 audit findings of LKPP, LKKL, and LK BUN consisting of 42.553 recommendations to the audited entities. The monitoring results of follow-ups to audit recommendation show that 75% of the audit recommendations have been followed-up in accordance with the recommendation, 19% of the audit recommendations have not been in accordance with the recommendation, 5% of the audit recommendations have not been followed-up, and the remaining 1% of the audit recommendations cannot be followed-up.

“The implementation of follow-ups to the audit results is the basis for improving government’s performance in managing state finances in more effective and inclusive ways, in order to realize welfare for the nation. Therefore, supervision performed by DPR as a form of political commitment and monitoring carried out by BPK are essential to manifest it,” she concluded.
