PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - The West Java Provincial Government has successfully achieved an Unqualified Opinion (WTP) from the Indonesian Audit Board (BPK) for the Regional Government Financial Report (LKPD) for the 2025 Fiscal Year. This achievement is the 15th consecutive WTP.

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi stated that the WTP (Unqualified Opinion) award was the result of the West Java Provincial Government's collective and effective performance in implementing its development plan. This was stated at the West Java Provincial DPRD Plenary Meeting, which was scheduled to submit the Audit Report (LHP) from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) on the West Java Provincial LKPD for the 2025 Fiscal Year, in the Plenary Meeting Room of the West Java DPRD on Wednesday (June 3, 2026).

He emphasized that achieving a WTP opinion should be a motivation to improve the quality of development and public services, not just fulfilling the financial administration aspect.

"Hopefully, this WTP (Unqualified Opinion) award reflects the West Java Provincial Government's effective performance in development. And hopefully, we're not only satisfied with the WTP, but also with public satisfaction and the quality of development experienced by the community," said KDM, the governor's nickname.

KDM also expressed his gratitude to the West Java Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) for carrying out its supervisory function, as well as all West Java Provincial Government officials involved in regional financial management.

"I would like to express my gratitude to all levels of the West Java Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), the Republic of Indonesia Audit Board (BPK RI), and the West Java Audit Board (BPK Jabar) who have consistently conducted evaluations, criticisms, and suggestions for improving services in West Java Province. I also extend my gratitude to all West Java Provincial employees, from the heads of Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) to those who prepare the SPJ," he said.

Governor's expectations

KDM hopes that the Indonesian Audit Board (BPK RI) will not only examine samples but will also examine all financial reports of OPDs in West Java so that the audit results are more optimal and comprehensive.

He also responded to the Audit Board of Indonesia's (BPK) report on regional spending management. He stated that the West Java Provincial Government is highly optimistic about promoting development, but regional fiscal capacity is also influenced by the realization of transfers from the central government.

"If capacity is based on regional revenue, it's actually relatively achievable. What's not achieved is the transfer funds from the central government, particularly the Revenue Sharing Fund," he said.

KDM hopes that the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) can facilitate reconciliation between the West Java Provincial Government and the Ministry of Finance regarding the obligation to pay National Economic Recovery (PEN) funds and revenue-sharing funds, which have not yet been fully received by the region.

"The West Java Provincial Government is obligated to repay the National Economic Recovery (PEN) funds to the central government. However, the central government is also obligated to repay the unpaid Revenue Sharing Funds (DBH) to local governments. Hopefully, reconciliation can be carried out so that our debts become our receivables, and the regional budget (APBD) records can be properly closed," he said.

He also highlighted the delay in disbursement of transfer funds, which he said was impacting regional fiscal management. KDM hopes the transfer funds, established by the Minister of Finance's decree, can be distributed consistently until the end of the fiscal year.

"If the Minister of Finance's decree already had that amount, we hoped it would be consistent until December. What happened in 2025 was that the funds were disbursed just before the contractor was due, resulting in a delay," he said.

Meanwhile, regarding education costs and School Operational Assistance (BOS) funds, KDM acknowledged that administrative weaknesses persist due to a shortage of administrative staff in many schools. This is an important issue that needs to be evaluated immediately.

Indonesian Audit Board (BPK RI) member Bobby Adhityo Rizaldi fully supports the steps taken by the DPRD and the West Java Provincial Government to oversee and complete a number of recommendations from the BPK.

"I want to emphasize that effective and efficient use of the regional budget is crucial because every rupiah allocated reflects public works and the people's expectations," he said.
