dpd.go.id Bekasi, June 15, 2026 – Committee IV of the House of Regional Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPD RI) conducted an official working visit to the Bekasi Mayor’s Office as part of its constitutional oversight mandate on the implementation of laws governing state financial management, particularly the follow-up actions on the Second Semester Audit Summary Report (IHPS II) 2025 issued by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK RI).

The delegation was led by West Java Senator Jihan Fahira, serving as Coordinator of the Working Visit Team, accompanied by Committee IV Chair Ahmad Nawardi, Vice Chairs, and other Committee members. The oversight forum brought together DPD RI representatives and officials of the Bekasi City Government, represented by the Assistant for General Administration, Dinar Faizal Badar, Acting Inspector of Bekasi City Dr. Amran, and other municipal officials.

During the visit, Committee IV highlighted that, at the national level, the number of Compliance Audit Reports with Specific Objectives (DTT) recorded in IHPS II 2025 increased sharply by more than 100 percent compared to previous years, reaching a total of 441 audit reports. According to the Committee, this trend signals an increasing risk of regulatory circumvention and weaknesses in compliance mechanisms at the regional government level. In the case of Bekasi City, Committee IV acknowledged the local government's achievement in maintaining an Unqualified Opinion (Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian/WTP) on its 2024 Regional Government Financial Statements (LKPD). The accomplishment reflects the city's continued commitment to sound financial reporting standards.

Nevertheless, based on a quantitative review of audit follow-up performance from 2020 to 2024, Committee IV noted that of the 141 recommendations issued by BPK RI for Bekasi City, 32 recommendations remain categorized as “Not Yet in Accordance with Recommendations,” while 3 recommendations have not been followed up at all, with the majority originating from the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years.

“The internal enforcement mechanism carried out by the Bekasi City Inspectorate, as the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP), must be strengthened and made more effective. Committee IV urges the Mayor of Bekasi and relevant agencies to take concrete corrective actions, accelerate the recovery of outstanding overpayments from physical infrastructure projects to the regional treasury, and complete the legal certification of public facility and social facility land assets to safeguard regional government assets,” said Committee IV Chair Ahmad Nawardi.

Through this working visit, Committee IV reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening regional fiscal accountability and ensuring that budget absorption is not merely a matter of administrative compliance. The Committee emphasized the importance of transparent, efficient, and accountable financial governance that prevents systemic waste and ultimately delivers high-quality and equitable public services for all citizens.
