ENHANCING BPK RI’S AUDIT DESIGN FOR PEOPLE’S WELFARE: A PRACTICAL APPROACH

The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan of BPK RI necessitates audits to be conducted to advance people’s welfare at the greatest extent possible as a reflection of growing maturity of BPK RI as an accountability organization. This would require BPK RI to be able to examine and evaluate whether government’s development programs under RPJMN have achieved the desired outcomes or impact of increasing people’s welfare. This paper aimed to find a practical approach to enhance BPK RI’s audit design in order to be able to contribute to the optimization of people’s welfare as required under the new vision of Renstra 2016- 2020. The authors use their experience on the recent formulation of ‘BPK RI’s Audit Policy 2016- 2020’ (Kebijakan Pemeriksaan 2016-2020), in which the authors are actively involved. The authors also use reviews of existing audit design and study on relevant theoretical and academic literatures that provide the overarching study framework. The study concluded that BPK audits should be designed toward national development programs in RPJMN 2015-2019 which correlate directly with or possessing great leverage in the achievement of welfare indicators.KEYWORDSWelfare, Audit Design, Planning, RPJMNABSTRAKRenstra BPK 2016-2020 mensyaratkan pemeriksaan-pemeriksaan BPK dilaksanakan sedemikian rupa sehingga dapat mendorong terwujudnya pembangunan untuk sebesar-besar kemakmuran rakyat sebagai refleksi dari peningkatan kematangan BPK.
