DKI Provincial Government Wins WTP Opinion 8 Times In A Row But Financial Management Is Not Yet Administrative, How Come?

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has again received an Unqualified Opinion (WTP) from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) on the report on the results of the examination (LHP) of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's financial report for the 2024 fiscal year.

This was conveyed by Member V BPK RI Bobby Adhityo Rizaldi in the plenary meeting of the submission of the results of the 2025 DKI Jakarta LKPD examination.

"Based on the results of the examination and follow-up on the recommendations of the results of the previous BPK examination, BPK provides an Unqualified Opinion on the 2024 DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's financial statements," Bobby said at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building, Monday, May 26.

The WTP predicate from the regional government's (LKPD) financial statements is the eighth time it has been maintained in a row since 2017 or during Anies Baswedan's leadership as Governor of DKI Jakarta.

"Thus, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has succeeded in maintaining its eighth WTP opinion. It is also proof of consistency in applying the principle of accountability and transparency in regional financial management," said Bobby.

After hearing the WTP opinion statement, the DKI Provincial Government ASN cheered and applauded. They then unfurled a banner that read "8X WTP, East Jakarta" that had been prepared beforehand.

Despite winning the WTP title, BPK still found financial problems in the composition of the DKI Provincial Government's financial statements. One of them, the DKI Provincial Government has not been able to optimize regional management.

"Regional income management is not yet fully adequate, especially in terms of collection and calculating taxes and levies, so there is still potential for regional income that has not been collected," he said.

Then, the management of regional expenditures is also considered by the BPK not in full accordance with the provisions. This is reflected in the discovery of the implementation of goods and services expenditure work, as well as capital expenditures that are not in accordance with the contract.

Third, the administration of fixed assets and social-fasum assets has not been optimal. In addition, cooperation in the use of regional property has not been optimal, including the unacceptable contribution to some of these utilizations.

For this reason, BPK recommends the Governor of BKI Jakarta to order the heads of relevant regional apparatus to identify, map, and formulate policies to control the potential for regional taxes and levies, as well as to arrange for the receipt of grants of money and goods in educational units through the APBD mechanism.

"Then, process overpayments and fine delays according to the provisions and deposit them into the regional treasury. Next, arrange assets in their control in an orderly manner and update the recording of fixed land assets and social-fassum facilities, and collect contributions from the use of regional property in accordance with the cooperation agreement," he added.
