JAKARTA - The Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) said there were two pension funds (dappen) for state-owned enterprises (BUMN) indicated to be fraud or corruption. This finding, based on the results of an audit conducted by BPKP.

Head of BPKP Muhammad Yusuf Ateh explained that the audits for four BUMN dapens were audited, namely PT Inhutani (Persero), PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) or AP I, PT Perkebunan Nusantara (Persero) or PTPN, and PT Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia (RNI) or ID Food.

"Of these four samplings, we also took 10 percent of the investment transaction sampling of at least Rp1.125 trillion. We found that some of these transactions were carried out without paying attention to the principles of good governance," Ateh said at a press conference at the AGO Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, October 3.

Ateh said, the audit results also showed that the state loss figures from the four BUMN dapen reached Rp300 billion and still had the potential to swell.

Even so, Ateh was still reluctant to reveal further two of the state-owned companies that indicated corruption from the four audited.

"Even of these four, two pension funds have indications of fraud," he said.

Furthermore, Ateh said, the audit that BPKP conducted was a follow-up to SOE Minister Erick Thohir's request.

This audit is also part of the cleaning program at state-owned companies.

During the examination, said Ateh, BPKP assessed that based on accountability, governance, and indications of risky areas, and provided recommendations for improvement to SOEs that were not indicated to be fraud.

"We have conveyed the results of this audit on September 18, and we have actually given recommendations for improvements because not all of them have indications of fraud. Hopefully, some of this dapen can still be improved so that it can be better," he said.
