The Supreme Audit Agency
(BPK) still gives Unqualified Opinion (WTP), regardless of corruption
indication in the ministry concerned. It means that WTP opinion and corruption
indication are two different things providing that there is confession from
official of the ministry concerned. As WTP opinion is more emphasized on
financial management aspect, especially business trips of ministry officials.
If the business trip does not prove excessive spending, we consider that the
performance of the ministry concerned is clean and efficient. And, if there is
corruption indication, as far as it is confessed, WTP opinion will still be
given, member of BPK. Ali Masykur Musa, told Business News (6/17).
As preparation to become Chairman of World’s Supreme
Audit Institutions Environmental Audit, the Indonesian Supreme Audit Agency
(BPK) will increase quality and quantity of audited objects. Audit Result
Report (LHP) of a ministry in 2011 consists of several matters, including LHP
on Financial Statements and Internal Control System and Compliance with the
Law. The definition of Compliance is, for example, official vehicles cannot be
transferred from one Directorate General to another. BPK is mainly focusing on
accurate and accountable financial statements.
BPK gives Unqualified Opinion (WTP) with an Explanatory
Paragraph (DPP) on Financial Statements of the Ministry of Marine and Fisheries
(LK KKP) of 2011, like the one in 2010. Opinion on LK KKP has improved from
Disclaimer opinion on LK KKP of 2006-2008 and Qualified Opinion in 2009.
Concerning asset and asset inventarization, BPK opinion, assessment on LK KKP
of 2011 has been fair in presenting all matters that are deemed material.
Concerning asset owned by the Ministry of Marine and Fisheries (KKP),
particularly after it is separated from the Agriculture Ministry, we have not
yet properly documented the various reports. But, most of them have been documented.
Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Sharif C. Sutardjo,
expects that KKP will still be given WTP opinion in 2013. Currently, KKP is
maintaining is WTP predicate for financial accountability, while for Government
Institution Performance Accountability Report (LAKIP), it is given B rating,
and result of integrity survey of KKP is 7.46. This is a proof that we are
ready for the program, Sharif told Business News (7/16).

Target of WTP predicate can be maintained due to some
factors, especially management commitment to improve administrative system and
financial statements and human resource quality. Audit Result Report (LHP) on
LK KKP in 2011 is, amongst others, executive summary of result of audit on KKP,
LHP on LK KKP, LHP on Internal Control System, and LHP on compliance with the
laws.
There are some criteria in giving WTP opinion on
financial statements, such as suffiency of financial data that can be assessed,
compliance with the laws has been in accordance with financial accounting
system and accuracy of financial accountability. LK KKP of 2011 has been
complete in accordance with government accounting standard and fair in all
matters that are deemed material. In every audit, there is always finding for
improvement of financial statements. There are three matters that need to be
explained by KKP. Firstly, three are assets which have not been re-evaluated,
fixed assets whose existence is not found, and fixed assets whose inventarization
process is not yet complete. As three is still asset selection work, which ones
belong to KKP and which ones belong to the Agriculture Ministry.
Minister of Empowerment of State Apparatus and
Bureaucratic Reform, Azwar Abu Bakar, stated his appreciation for the codes of
ethics that have been performed by KKP. Even, according to him, KKP has had
full awareness in crating an integrity Zone (ZI). He explained that KKP is one
of five ministries in Indonesia that have launched Integrity Zone (ZI).
Concrete actions performed by KKP in applying ZI toward a
Free Corruption Area (WBK) are, amongst others, integrity signing, reporting of
assets of state officials, access to financial statements that has been
performed by BPK, and reporting protection system. The aim of bureaucratic
reform is to create clean bureaucrats who are free from corruption, collusion,
and nepotism (KKN) and who are competent and helpful, Azwar told Business News
(7/16).
