In fact, the chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi as the chairperson of the meeting, also tied his head with the scarf.From this achievement, Ahmadi Noor Supit asked the DKI Provincial Government to increase transparency and accountability in its financial management."This achievement should be an impetus to always increase accountability and transparency in regional financial management and improve the quality of financial reports, so that it will be an achievement to be proud of," he said.However, Ahmadi Noor Supit emphasized that the title of WTP does not mean that there are no problems in the DKI Provincial Government's financial statements. He summarized several problems from the results of the examination.Ahmadi Noor Supit said that there was still an overpayment of regional expenditures for late fines with a value of Rp45.87 billion. Then there were still Rp197.55 billion KJP Plus and KJMU funds that had not been distributed, as well as Rp15.18 billion in social assistance for meeting basic needs that had not yet been distributed. In addition, the administration of fixed assets for social-fasum facilities is said to be not yet orderly."I hope that the leadership and members of the DPRD can participate in monitoring the completion of the follow-up on the recommendations of the results of the examination contained in this LHP in accordance with their authority. We hope that the results of the BPK examination can provide an encouragement to continue to improve the accountability for the implementation of the APBD," he explained.
It is known that the opinion pinned by the BPK to an institution or government agency is a professional statement by the examiner regarding the reasonableness of the information presented in the financial statements.Meanwhile, WTP opinion is the highest award for accountability in the financial management of a government agency.
