Summary: | This Country Financial Accountability
Assessment (CFAA) report, supports the Government of
Indonesia's efforts to reform the process of managing
public resources, increase transparency in handling
financial affairs, and combat corruption. The report
assesses that the control environment in Indonesia is weak,
despite a political leadership committed to improvement,
and, recommends enacting a modern Budget Law, establish
parliamentary public accounts, and audit committee, initiate
reforms to develop a professional civil service, and,
improve procurement laws, and practices in accordance with
the Country Procurement Assessment. In addition, Budget
execution, and monitoring remain weak, proposing to
accelerate transition to a unified budget, improve policy
review, by strengthening political inputs into budget
preparation, and develop integrated revenue estimates within
a macro framework. It emphasizes that the fragmentation in
the accounting, and reporting of financial information does
not produce reliable, and reconcilable sets of accounts,
thus a rational financial management should be established,
by creating the position of Accountant General within the
Ministry of Finance, establishing financial controllership
to handle financial planning, budgeting, and working capital
management, and, improving treasury management. Finally, it
is recommended that the current audit law be revised, by
incorporating a public accounts committee, an independent
auditor general, and, define their boundaries of responsibility. |
