Jakarta – The Ministry of Law (Kemenkum) has reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability in state financial management as the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK RI) begins its examination of the Ministry’s 2025 Financial Statements.
Secretary General of the Ministry of Law, Nico Afinta, said the presence of the BPK RI audit team is a crucial element in ensuring that state finances are managed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
“The presence of the BPK RI audit team is essential to ensure that the management and accountability of state finances are carried out transparently, accountably, and in full compliance with prevailing laws and regulations,” Nico said during the Soft Entry Meeting at the Soepomo Meeting Room, Jakarta, on Friday (23 January 2026).
The BPK RI audit commenced with a joint Soft Entry Meeting involving the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections, and the Ministry of Human Rights. This collaborative start serves as a formal synergy and initial coordination. However, the audits will be conducted independently for each ministry, in accordance with their respective financial management and operational scopes.
Nico noted that Fiscal Year 2025 was a particularly challenging period for the Ministry of Law, marked by ongoing institutional transformation and the implementation of budget efficiency policies.
“Fiscal Year 2025 presented significant challenges for the Ministry of Law. Regulatory dynamics, organizational restructuring, and budget efficiency measures have all been part of our institutional transformation process,” he said.
Based on data from the Online Monitoring System for State Treasury and Budget (OMSPAN) as of 21 January 2026, the Ministry’s expenditure realization in Fiscal Year 2025 amounted to Rp2.78 trillion, or 90.46 percent of the effective expenditure ceiling of Rp3.08 trillion. Meanwhile, Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) realization reached Rp2.19 trillion, or 107.79 percent of the target of Rp2.03 trillion.
Meanwhile, Director General of State Finance Audit I at BPK RI, Sarjono, who also serves as the Head of the BPK RI Audit Team, stated that the field audit phase will run until 29 April 2026. An exit meeting is scheduled for 8 May 2026, and the audit report is targeted to be submitted by the end of May 2026.
“Our audit will focus on four key areas: information systems, financial and performance transactions and reporting; cash management and non-tax state revenue; goods and capital expenditure; and fixed asset management,” Sarjono explained.
