16 Consecutive Unqualified Opinions: Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry Maintains Compliance in Financial Management

Jakarta, August 2, 2024 – The Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has once again received an Unqualified Opinion (Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian - WTP) for the 16th consecutive year on the Audit Report (LHP) for the 2023 Financial Statements issued by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK). Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry/Head of BKPM Bahlil Lahadalia personally received the report, presented by BPK Member II Daniel Lumban Tobing on Monday afternoon (July 29) at the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM Office in Jakarta. This achievement has been consistently maintained by the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM since 2008.

The Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry expressed his appreciation for the assessment conducted by BPK, which he deemed objective and has consistently awarded the Unqualified Opinion for 16 years in a row. Bahlil expressed his hope for the leadership of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM to promptly follow up on the recommendations provided to further improve financial management in accordance with prevailing regulations and principles.


“We work diligently, but without proper governance, it would be difficult. Therefore, proper governance requires assistance from BPK (through financial audits). We will follow up on the recommendations from the audit findings and maintain effective communication. Hopefully, this achievement can be sustained in the years to come,” said Bahlil.


The financial audits conducted by BPK on the financial statements of Ministries and Agencies are mandated under Law No. 15 of 2004 on the Audit of State Financial Management and Responsibility, and Law No. 15 of 2006 on the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia. BPK performs financial audits as part of the President's accountability for implementing the State Budget (APBN).


BPK Member II Daniel Lumban Tobing stated in his remarks that the objective of auditing the financial statements of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM is to provide an opinion on the fairness of the financial statements, focusing on four aspects: compliance with government accounting standards, adequacy of disclosure and presentation in the financial statements, adherence to laws and regulations, and the effectiveness of the internal control system.


“Based on BPK’s audit of the 2023 Financial Statements of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM, we have awarded an Unqualified Opinion for the 16th consecutive time. Furthermore, BPK will monitor the follow-up on the recommendations, and we hope the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM will take concrete steps to address them,” said Daniel.


BPK's evaluation encompasses five components: budget realization reports, balance sheets, operational reports, equity reports, and notes to the financial statements. The Audit Report on the 2023 Central Government Financial Statements (LHP LKPP) was officially presented on July 8, 2024, by the Chair of BPK RI to the President of the Republic of Indonesia.
