’s Appreciation on Peer Review Conclusions and Recommendations
We are pleased that the Netherland Courts of Audit reached the overall very positive conclusion on
bpk
’s quality control and assurance. We value the Netherlands Court of Audit’s recognition of
bpk
’s endeavour to build its quality controls and assurance as well as to improve government transparency and accountability. In addition, we are
satisfied that the Netherlands Court of Audit reminded changes in the
bpk
’s political environment with regard to new parliament and government as results of recent
general elections. Moreover, we are also grateful for the identification of three main risks consisting of information access limitation, weak financial management in
central and local government, and the persistence of fraud and corruption in government and society. These three risks have been challenging
bpk
for playing its roles in improving transparency and accountability of the Indonesian public sector.
We also appreciate the Netherlands Court of Audit’s constructive recommendations for
bpk
’s further improvement. Therefore, we will develop an action plan to carry out the recommendations, including aligning
bpk
’s current bureaucratic reform and
bpk
next strategic plan with the recommendations.

’s Immediate Action Plan
In line with our initiative to require
bpk
’s audited entities to provide an action plan to respond to
bpk
’s audit reports, we will develop an action plan within two months after bpk
receives the final peer review report. The action plan consists of our relevant activities to follow up the Netherlands Court of Audit’s recommendations together
with clear time schedule to address the weaknesses disclosed on the peer review report. The action plan and its subsequent implementation will be communicated to
the Netherlands Court of Audit and also reported to Parliament.

’s Next Strategic Plan
bpk
’s current strategic plan will end in 2010. We think that it is the best time for us to develop our next strategic plan not only by considering the results of assessment of the
current strategic plan implementation, but also by incorporating the peer review report and recommendations. For instance, the next strategic plan has to be based on central
and local government medium-term development plans, thus
bpk
has a structured approach to assess the effectiveness of development plans at the end of their terms.
In addition, the strategic plan has to take into account various factors such as changes in the
bpk
’s upcoming political environment and the three main risks regarding transparency and accountability identified on the peer review report. Furthermore, the
next strategic planning will be used as a guide to make annual selection of
bpk
’s audit plans and to prepare relevant supporting resources.
