Jakarta, The Indonesia Post – Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati stated that digitalization would narrow the opportunities for corrupt practices in various activities, including the implementation of government policies.
“Building a digital platform will narrow and reduce the possibility of bad business practices, namely corruption or compromise of integrity,” she said at the Webinar on Digitalization as a Corruption Prevention Tool in Jakarta, Wednesday.
Sri Mulyani said that one of the digitization efforts carried out by the Ministry of Finance was by launching the Coal Management Information System (Simbara) and Integrated Information System (SIT) for upstream oil and gas (oil and gas) activities.
Data integration from Simbara and SIT Migas is carried out between the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Transportation and Bank Indonesia.
She said that SIT Migas and Simbara related to the integrated information system of oil and gas as well as minerals and coal (minerba) provided many benefits.
These benefits include creating an integrated monitoring ecosystem, providing nationally consistent data and harmonizing the structure of the commodity balance sheet.
Simbara and SIT Migas are expected to create a uniform perception of data and information while at the same time ensuring alignment and traceability of data from upstream to downstream for natural resource commodities (SDA) oil and gas and mineral and coal.
According to Sri Mulyani, by tidying up and making consistent data, it will also encourage state revenues, both taxes, customs and excise, and non-tax state revenues (PNBP).
In addition, data integration will also facilitate the business world and prevent potential manipulation of data for tax reports that are different from exports and imports as well as when business actors calculate PNBP obligations.
In the end, SIT Migas and Simbara are also expected to increase accountability, speed, accuracy and transparency of government services.
“We also hope that this will eliminate the opportunity for corrupt practices from upstream to downstream,” said Sri Mulyani. (ojn/bbs)
