JAKARTA - Chairman of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) Isma Yatun said that village fund managers, especially village heads (kades), play a central role in achieving the goal of distributing village funds by complying with applicable regulations.

"(Apart from that), it is also necessary to pay attention to the principles of managing village funds, namely being transparent, accountable, participatory, orderly, and budget discipline," said Isma as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, October 16.

He stated that the village fund program was an extension of the central government in carrying out the goals and ideals of the nation, as well as strengthening the village position as the spearhead of development, improving welfare, and empowering the community.

The goal of distributing village funds is a form of the state's commitment to protecting and empowering villages to become strong, advanced, independent, and democratic in order to lead to a just, prosperous, and prosperous society.

According to Isma, the large amount of village funds from receiving village funds and other sources of funds requires risk mitigation of the management of the funds, so that they are transparent and accountable.

"Therefore, I remind village fund managers to always maintain integrity in carrying out their mandate," he said.

On this occasion, the Chairman of the BPK appreciated the institutional cooperation between BPK and the DPR, especially Commission XI, in organizing joint socialization activities.

"This is an effort to increase understanding related to the management of village funds and uphold transparency and accountability of state and regional finances to realize state goals," said Isma.
