  • Gorontalo Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) ensures its financial management complies with the latest regulations.
  • The agency actively participated in a socialization of a new Finance Ministry regulation (PMK No. 41/2026).
  • This initiative aims to strengthen financial governance, ensuring transparency and accountability in budget planning and execution.

The Gorontalo Provincial Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) has affirmed that its financial management and reporting processes adhere strictly to the latest regulations. Arya Mega Natalady Sumbayak, the acting head of the Bawaslu Gorontalo Secretariat, stated this in Gorontalo on Saturday.

Sumbayak explained that the agency has been diligently participating in socialization sessions for the Ministry of Finance Regulation (PMK) No. 41 of 2026, conducted by the national Bawaslu via Zoom. This proactive step ensures that their financial management aligns with current regulatory standards. The socialization is deemed crucial for implementing PMK No. 41 of 2026, which amends PMK No. 62 of 2023, covering budget planning, execution, accounting, and financial reporting.

This updated regulation serves as the primary guideline for work units to manage finances in an orderly, accountable, and compliant manner. Bawaslu Gorontalo's participation in the socialization is part of a broader effort to enhance understanding of changes in state budget and finance management regulations. It also aims to standardize comprehension across all Bawaslu work units regarding the newest provisions, which must be applied from the planning to the reporting stages.

"Understanding every change in financial regulations is vital for ensuring that budget execution and financial administration proceed according to stipulations," Arya stated. Bawaslu RI encourages all work units to grasp and adapt their financial management to PMK No. 41 of 2026. Arya confirmed that Bawaslu Gorontalo is making necessary adjustments across budget planning, execution, accounting, and financial reporting as part of strengthening institutional governance. The agency is committed to implementing all directives from the socialization, ensuring orderly and compliant budget management and financial administration. These strategic steps are expected to foster transparent, effective, efficient, and accountable financial management, crucial for supporting Bawaslu's operational tasks and institutional functions in the region.
