JAKARTA - The Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) was asked to answer the findings of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) regarding the Financial Statements of the Ministry of Social Affairs for the 2021 budget year in the next 60 days.

Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Tri Rismaharini said the findings would be answered by using four parameters to match the integrated social welfare data (DTKS).

The four parameters are the population identification number (NIK), bank account number, universal ID, and channel data.

"Because it is not possible to use NIK alone, we will look for it with the data," said Social Minister Risma in Jakarta, Thursday, July 28.

The findings by the BPK, according to the Minister of Social Affairs, Risma, are an accumulative incident from the years before she took office.

However, Social Minister Risma said the real findings from the 2021 FY Financial Statements were on COVID-19 social assistance (bansos) worth IDR 5.9 trillion in 2020.

As for the findings, it seems as if the beneficiaries list has no recipients.

"At that time, 2020 was not equivalent to NIK. It is not yet matched, so we are looking for it with four parameters,” said Social Minister Risma.

After she served as Minister of Social Affairs, then a policy was made to make corrections using DTKS in October 2020, which was followed up with the ratification of the Decree (SK) of the Minister of Social Affairs in April 2021.

The BPK gave the title Unqualified (WTP) for the Examination Result Report (LHP) on the Financial Report of the Ministry of Social Affairs for the 2021 fiscal year. Although the BPK stated that there were irregularities in the 2021 budget funds.

Based on the Antara report, BPK Chairman Achsanul Qosasi said, there were findings that the Ministry of Social Affairs had followed up on regarding the inaccuracy of targeting recipients of the social assistance disbursed worth IDR 120 trillion, so that data corrections have been carried out.
