JAKARTA - There are three problems in the Aceh Provincial Government Financial Report (LK) (Pemprov) for the 2022 fiscal year which were highlighted and found by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).

"First, the Aceh Government has not updated the regulation on surface water tax revenues, which has resulted in the Aceh Government not being able to realize optimal surface water tax revenues," said Member V of BPK Ahmadi Noor Supit, quoted from the official BPK website, Jakarta, Saturday.

Second, the classification of budgeting and spending realization in the seven Aceh Regional Apparatus Work Units (SKPD) is not appropriate, resulting in the realization of spending on the seven Aceh SKPDs not describing the actual conditions.

The last problem is the volume shortage for 18 packages of capital expenditure activities. This problem resulted in an overpayment of a work volume shortage of IDR 12.55 billion.

Ahmadi reminded the Aceh Provincial Government that the recommendations given by the BPK based on the findings in the Financial Audit Result Report (LHP) should be followed up no later than 60 days after the LHP was submitted.

"This is so that the recommendation is no longer a finding in the following year," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, April 15.

On the same occasion, Member V BPK conveyed the 2022 Regional Examination Results Summary (IHPD). The IHPD contains information on the results of examinations at provincial and district/city governments in Aceh during 2022.

The IHPD also contains follow-up actions carried out by the local government on the recommendations of the results of the BPK examination and the settlement of regional losses by entities in the Aceh Province as of the second semester of 2022.

Therefore, Member V BPK hopes that the Governor and Leadership of the Aceh DPR can take advantage of the IHPD that has been given by the BPK.

"We hope that the IHPD can be a reference for the Acting Governor as the representative of the central government to the regions to further improve its supervisory function to district/city governments, and for the Aceh DPR to carry out the supervisory function of regional financial management and responsibility," said Member V BPK.

Even though there are a number of problems that the Aceh Provincial Government must follow up on, BPK still provides Unqualified (WTP) for the provincial government's LK.
