YOGYAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Agus Joko Pramono hopes that the e-Audit feature in the newly launched version 6 or V.6 e-Catalog program can make people think many times about corruption in the process of procuring goods and services.

The launch of the latest version of the e-Catalog was carried out in a series of commemorations of World Anti-Corruption Day (Harkodia) 2025 at the Yogyakarta Mayor's office, Monday, December 8. The new features in it, such as e-Audit, are expected to detect irregularities.

How much you carry out surveillance it can still be corruption. But with this feature, it will be easier, more quickly known. Because this feature already knows, oh, it turns out that there is a red flag, oh, there is a red flag b, the position is like that," Agus told reporters, Monday, December 8.

In addition, efforts to circumvent the procurement of goods and services can also be prevented.

"People will think 3-4 times to try to escape corruption, especially in the procurement of goods and services," he said.

"Because this feature provides reflection, oh, there have been signs, anomalies carried out in certain goods and services procurement transactions," he continued.

Similarly, the Head of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) Muhammad Yusuf Ateh said that e-Audit minimized gaps to carry out fraudulent practices. This is actually also a warning to people who want to try anything," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Government Goods/Services Procurement Policy Institute (LKPP) Sarah Sadiqa said that this e-Audit could be a weapon for the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP). "Isn't it true (procurement of goods and services, red)? Is there a negotiation? If there is a nego, it will be recorded systemally," he said.

"So this really anticipates conditions that are misappropriation and misappropriation that may have occurred in e-catalogs".

The e-Catalog V.6 feature features the main feature. The details are as follows: 1. Dashboard catalog transactions integrated with the INAPROC account;2. Anomalous early detection and suspicious transaction patterns;3. Digital evidence-based audit process without waiting for manual reports;4. Price analysis, providers, and products in one data ecosystem; as well as 5. The function of the early warning system to accelerate surveillance follow-up.

As previously reported, the Coordinator of the National Corruption Prevention Strategy (Stranas PK) Aminudin emphasized that the procurement of digital-based goods and services did not then close the gap for corruption. Efforts to manipulate are still happening so that this condition is considered a battlefield.

"We have to be honest that the procurement of goods and services is still a battlefield. The battlefield is in the context of eradicating corruption," said Aminudin, who also serves as acting (Plt) Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring at the Yogyakarta City Hall office, Monday, December 8.

Aminudin said digitalization made the mode of corruption continue to develop and adapt. "Especially in the procurement of goods and services. We must not lose, we must not be wrong, and must not lose quickly with those who try to take advantage of the existing system commission and regulations situation," he said.

They are now hiding behind the advanced digital system, manipulating allocations and playing prices outside. So the data we analyzed and we found, even though our system has been digitized, it turns out that they are using advanced. We can't lose to them," continued Aminudin.
