JAKARTA - The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) found six problems that must be followed up in the 2022 Ministry of Health's (Kemenkes) financial statements (LK).

"Although it has not had a significant impact, it must still be followed up," said BPK VI Member Pius Lustrilanang to Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin at the Ministry of Health office, quoted by Antara from an official statement, Jakarta, Saturday.

He said the findings of the six problems, namely the first was the management of social assistance spending for payment of contributions to participants who received health insurance contribution assistance (PBI JK) were not sufficient.

Second, he said, the provision of contribution assistance for participants of the Social Security Administering Agency (BPJS) for the non-wage worker segment (PBPU) and non-workers (BP) with service benefits in class III treatment rooms is not supported by adequate implementation regulations.

The third problem, said Pius, is that the procurement of information system services for one COVID-19 and PeduliLindung vaccination data (SISDV) is not supported by a budget, so there is an over computation and there is the potential for overpayment.

In addition, the procurement of goods and services at the Public Service Agency of the Central General Hospital (BLU RSUP) does not pay attention to the availability of the budget in the DIPA Petikan (commitment list for the implementation of the BLU (General Service Agency) budget per work unit) in 2022.

Finally, the deletion of spending paid in advance related to the procurement of the second phase of the COVID-19 vaccine received in 2021 is not supported by accounting policies and adequate source documents.

"I hope that the results of the examination can be followed up no later than 60 days after the LHP (report of the examination results) is received," he said.

Despite finding various problems, Pius said, the BPK provided an Unqualified Opinion (WTP) on the 2022 Ministry of Health's LK.
