Indonesia's Transportation Ministry Pledges to Implement All Audit Recommendations, Retains Unqualified Opinion for 13th Year

The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) is committed to strengthening its financial governance and accountability by fully implementing all recommendations from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi emphasized that these recommendations must translate into clear improvement steps to prevent recurring issues and bolster public trust.

This commitment is underscored by Kemenhub's achievement of an unqualified opinion (Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian - WTP) from the BPK for its 2025 fiscal year financial report. This marks the 13th consecutive year the ministry has received this highest audit opinion, demonstrating its sustained dedication to transparency and accountability in managing state finances. Minister Sumadi lauded the hard work of Kemenhub's staff in maintaining the quality of financial management and reporting.

"The WTP opinion shows that the financial report has been presented fairly in accordance with government standards," Sumadi stated, adding that this achievement brings a greater responsibility to uphold public trust. He stressed the importance of discipline in all stages of financial management, from planning and budget execution to recording and reporting.

Kemenhub is focusing its improvement efforts on several key areas. These include reinforcing internal oversight systems, enhancing the management of state non-tax revenues (PNBP), optimizing expenditure and contract management, updating asset and inventory management, and strengthening human resource capacity. As of the first semester of 2026, Kemenhub has already followed up on 88.23 percent of the BPK's recommendations and is working to complete the remaining ones with clear responsibilities, deadlines, and expected outcomes.
