JAKARTA - Former Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for the period 2019-2024, Alexander Marwatamengusulkan agar pemerintah menyusun Standar Audit Penghitungan Kerugian Negara dalam konteks penegakan hukum.
According to him, the standardization is needed so that the legal process does not experience obstacles or polemics, so that any institution such as the inspectorate, BPK, or BPKP, can calculate state losses in a standard way.
"And when later the audit evidence is submitted in the trial, the panel of judges will test it based on that standard," said Alexander, following a joint hearing with the DPR Legislation Agency (Baleg) as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, May 19.
According to him, in cases of corruption crimes because they cause state losses that have occurred recently, the amount of state losses is obtained by the method of asumption.
Alex was also surprised that there was a case whose indictment set the value of state losses at IDR 5.2 trillion. Meanwhile, according to him, the audit results from the BPKP in the case stated that the losses amounted to IDR 1.5 trillion.
"A settlement must be based on the facts of the trial, it can't be done by itself, that's it. Yes, the figure must be explained where it came from Rp5.2 trillion or how much it is," he said.
Meanwhile, the former Chairman of the Financial Audit Agency (BPK) for the period 2019-2022, Agung Firman Sampurnayang, also attended the meeting in the DPR, proposing two options to resolve the state's loss.
He explained that the first option was to make limited amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes (Tipikor), especially Article 32 and its explanation.
Meanwhile, the second option is to revise Law Number 15 of 2006 concerning the BPK in a limited manner by adding a norm that confirms the provisions for calculating state losses based on the authority of the BPK.
"This is aimed at strengthening the constitutional authority of the BPK in calculating and determining state losses, eliminating regulatory dualism, and ensuring that all state loss determination mechanisms refer to regulations on state financial audits," he said.
It is known that the DPR Baleg held a RDPU with a number of legal experts to discuss the implementation of the Corruption Crime Law regarding the authority to calculate state losses following the Supreme Court Decision Number 28/PUU-XXIV/2026 concerning the authority to calculate state losses.
The Chairman of the DPR Bob Hasan said that the discussion was carried out to find a middle ground and avoid multiple interpretations of the authority of parties who could calculate the state's losses.
