JAKARTA - The Indonesian Air Force (AU) is open to audits or inspections of planning, procurement, and utilization of defense and security equipment (Alpalhankam) carried out by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).

"This is in an effort to increase transparency and accountability within the Indonesian Air Force," said Deputy Inspectorate General of the Indonesian Air Force Marsma TNI Basuki Rochmat in a press release received in Jakarta, Thursday, July 25, which was confiscated by Antara.

In the inaugural meeting with BPK in the Itjenau meeting room, Headquarters on Wednesday, July 24, Basuki explained that this examination was important to ensure that the Indonesian Air Force used the budget to be right on target.

Not only that, the inspection also aims to ensure the specifications of the equipment to be purchased or borrowed in accordance with the budget planning that has been made.

Thus, his party will easily detect the potential for misappropriation of the internal procurement of goods in the Indonesian Air Force.

He hopes that the BPK can act independently in conducting inspections so that the results are not covered up.

To note, the ranks of the BPK who attended the meeting included Deputy Responsible 2 BPK RI Kristianto Ary Nugroho, Deputy Responsible 3 Cosma Andri Grans Katri Anggita and other BPK RI teams.
