Jakarta, The Indonesia Post – The Chairman of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) Agung Firman Sampurna said ministries and government agencies at the central and regional levels, as well as State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), need risk management to prevent corruption in state finances.
He said the development of risk management can be started by making an assessment of the risk of corruption.
“So making a risk register whose spirit is like carrying out within certain limits, bribery risk assessment, but at the level of governance. We collect a number of risks to be inventoried, starting from reputation, management, where bribes might occur,” said Agung at the Anti-Corruption Workshop entitled “Corruption Detection and Prevention” in Jakarta, Tuesday.
He argues that the government through the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) needs to make standards related to the risk of corruption in state finances at the governance level.
“Standards related to the risk may later be made by BPKP as the government’s internal auditor, but it has been considered by the BPK and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). That’s where collaboration can work,” said Agung.
After government organizations have developed a standard risk profile, according to Agung, training is also needed to prevent acts of corruption based on the risk profile that has been prepared.
“So people are being trained gradually about, at the governance level, this is what has to be done. Because sometimes problems occur because people don’t know how problems should be handled,” he said.
He also suggested that the government work together to appoint ministries and institutions, both at the central and regional levels, as the best risk management makers, who have compiled risk assessments along with training related to solving potential corruption. (ojn/bbs)
