JAKARTA - The Ministry of Culture has strengthened its internal supervision system by launching two technology-based applications, SAMAN and BIMAN. This step marks a shift in supervision from an administrative pattern to a modern approach based on data, risk analysis, and early detection of fraud.
The launch was carried out by Minister of Culture Fadli Zon at the Ministry of Culture Building, Jakarta, Wednesday (31/12). The two applications are SAMAN (Anti-Fraud Management System) and BIMAN (Audit Management Information Base) developed by the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Culture.
Fadli Zon emphasized that as a new ministry, strengthening integrity, transparency, and accountability must be built from the beginning. According to him, corruption prevention can no longer rely on the old way.
"Prevention must start upstream, by utilizing digital adaptation so that programs are targeted, efficient, and impactful," said Fadli Zon. He said this initiative was in line with President Prabowo Subianto's instructions on preventing and eradicating corruption.
Fadli Zon also appreciated the performance of the Inspector General's Office which built the two applications in less than a year. "SAMAN and BIMAN are designed so that the entire process of planning, implementation, to accountability for programs runs transparently, measurably, and can be audited," he said.
Inspector General of the Ministry of Culture, Fryda Lucyana, emphasized that corruption is a tremendous crime that has systemic impacts. Therefore, supervision must be technology-based and risk-based.
"Our anti-fraud application was developed in four months since September 2025. This is focused on direct detection of fraud methods and encouraging the active participation of all employees," he said.
According to Fryda, this innovation builds an inclusive oversight ecosystem, while strengthening the function of the Inspector General as a guardian of governance. He assessed that technology is the key to ensuring that oversight is no longer perceived as a burden, but rather a strategic solution.
This activity was attended by Deputy Minister of Culture Giring Ganesha, Special Staff to the President for Creative Economy Yovie Widianto, Chairman of Commission X of the Indonesian House of Representatives Hetifah Sjaifudian, and Deputy Chairman of the KPK Fitroh Rohcahyanto.
The launch of SAMAN and BIMAN confirms the role of the Inspector General of the Ministry of Culture as an agent of change. The accompanying anti-corruption socialization is aimed at ensuring that the application is optimally utilized and that the culture of integrity is rooted in all work units.
