  • The Bangka Tengah Inspectorate in Indonesia has launched a counseling service for regional government organizations (OPDs).
  • The initiative aims to improve compliance in carrying out activities and managing regional finances.
  • The Inspectorate also monitors risk management digitally and extends its oversight to village governments.

The Inspectorate of Bangka Tengah Regency, in Indonesia's Bangka Belitung Islands Province, has introduced a new counseling service for its regional government organizations (OPDs). This initiative is designed to enhance compliance in both the execution of activities and the management of regional finances.

We are not only supervising through audits and reviews, but also through counseling.

— Pangihutan SihombingHead of the Bangka Tengah Inspectorate explaining the new counseling service for regional government organizations.

Pangihutan Sihombing, the Head of the Bangka Tengah Inspectorate, stated that OPDs can collaborate with the Inspectorate for counseling sessions. "We are not only supervising through audits and reviews, but also through counseling," he said. Sihombing views counseling as an effective and easily implemented form of assistance, suitable for discussing ongoing or planned activities within OPDs. He stressed the Inspectorate's commitment to contributing positively and ensuring that regional activities adhere to laws and regulations.

The Inspectorate also employs digital monitoring of risk management for each OPD through a dedicated application. This system allows for the mapping of potential risks based on their severity, identifying activities as high, medium, or low risk. This digital oversight helps in proactively addressing potential issues before they escalate.

We remain committed to making a good contribution and ensuring the region can carry out activities within compliance and statutory regulations.

— Pangihutan SihombingHead of the Bangka Tengah Inspectorate emphasizing the commitment to regulatory adherence.

Beyond OPDs, the Inspectorate's oversight and assistance extend to village governments. Currently, they are conducting sample checks in five villages within the Pangkalanbaru sub-district. These checks are part of the broader effort to support and guide local governments in their activities and financial management, ensuring adherence to regulations and preventing potential errors.

We also continue to monitor the risk management of each OPD digitally through an application so that it can be seen which activities are high risk, medium, and low risk.
