JAKARTA, BPK Public Relations – Board Member II of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK), Pius Lustrilanang said that the completion of recommendation follow-up was aimed at providing optimal audit results for accountability and transparency in the management of state finances. Thus, it was important to immediately follow-up BPK’s audit results.

This was conveyed by BPK Board Member II during the submission of the Audit Reports on the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Financial Statements Year 2019 at OJK Office in Jakarta, on Thursday (06/08/2020). The Audit Reports was handed directly by BPK Board Member II to the Chairman of OJK Board of Commissioners Wimboh Santoso and witnessed by Vice Chairman and OJK Board of Commissioners.

“We hope Chairman of OJK Board of Commissioners could immediately complete the BPK’s audit result recommendations follow-up, particularly outstanding recommendations whose status were still in follow-up process,” Pius said.

Meanwhile, related to the Unqualified Opinion on the OJK Financial Statements Year 2019 obtained, BPK Board Member II said that the opinion might be changed. According to him, in order to maintain the opinion, OJK should intensify the role of its internal audit, which was Deputy Commissioner of Internal Audit, Risk Management and Quality Control (ARK).

“The Unqualified Opinion obtained in Year 2019 could be changed in the following years considering the complexity of problems found during 2020. Therefore, OJK need to intensify the role of its internal audit, Deputy Commissioner of Internal Audit, Risk Management and Quality Control (ARK) who was responsible for accountability of state financial governance,” explained Board Member II during the audit report submissions which was also attended by BPK Director General of Audit II, Laode Nusriadi and auditors of BPK Audit Unit II.

During the Audit Report submission, it was found out that BPK gave Unqualified Opinion on OJK Financial Statements Year 2019. The opinion was given because OJK had improved and adjusted its correction journal so that the accounts on the financial statements had been presented fairly in accordance with the applied accounting standards. In addition to that, the disclosure of Noted to Financial Statements (CaLK) was also adequate and problems found had no any material impacts to the financial statements.
