Cooperation between BPK and the Kaltara Police is very important to oversee regional development and create a climate free from corruption.

Deputy Chief of Police of North Kalimantan, Brigadier General Golkar Pangarso Rahardjo Winarsadi, emphasized that joint supervision of development projects ensures the use of transparent and accountable funds.

"With this joint supervision, development funds can be used according to the plan without irregularities," said Brigadier General Pol. Golkar Pangarso Rahardjo in his statement, Friday, July 2.

BPK and Polda Kaltara conduct regular and investigative audits, while the Kaltara Police handle law enforcement aspects if corruption indications are found.

"This collaboration ensures that audit findings can be followed up quickly and precisely by law enforcement officials," he added.

BPK shared the results of the audit with the Kaltara Police to facilitate the investigation and prosecution process. The Kaltara Police provided information regarding the results of the investigation and legal action to BPK for reporting and improvement of the surveillance system.

The formation of an integrated team consisting of a BPK auditor and investigators from the Kaltara Police was also carried out to handle major and complex cases involving development funds.

BPK provides training to Kaltara Police personnel on audit techniques, fraudulent detection, and financial analysis. On the other hand, the Kaltara Police provided training to BPK auditors on relevant law enforcement aspects.

"With this training, we hope to increase the capacity of both parties in supervising and taking action against corruption," said Golkar Pangarso.
