Chairman of the Supreme Audit Agency, Agung Firman Sampurna inaugurated the BPK Corporate University (BPK CorpU), at the PKN Badiklat Learning Studio on Thursday (08/04). The inauguration is marked by handing or placing hands on the tablet which is carried out by the Chairman of the BPK. In addition to handing, the Head of BPK also symbolically opened the Giant Book as the beginning of BPK CorpU’s journey, accompanied by the Secretary General of BPK, Bahtiar Arif and the Head of the PKN Badiklat, Ida Sundari.
The ability of organizations such as BPK to constantly update knowledge is one way to be able to survive in a constantly changing environment. This concept encourages the formation of a learning organization movement, namely an organization that can develop its ability to constantly adapt and change. The learning center owned by BPK is now considered to have shortcomings such as the lack of harmony between what is learned in the training and what is needed by the organization, training programs often do not have a real impact on organizational performance, and low participant participation due to learning methods that are not flexible and accessible.
Therefore, Badiklat PKN needs to transform into BPK CorpU as an innovation to increase the capacity of state financial audits. “Innovation is needed so that efforts to increase competence in order to meet the needs of the organization on the one hand do not reduce the capacity of the organization in carrying out its role on the other hand,” said the Chairman of the BPK. In his speech, he also revealed that BPK has formulated BPK CorpU’s vision, namely “To become a world-class Corporate University through education and development of competent and professional state financial examiners”.
BPK CorpU can be understood as a learning system that has a learning focus where the curriculum, syllabus, and teaching materials are prepared based on performance problems faced by individuals and organizations in supporting organizational goals. The development of learning material content is made that is attractive, flexible, and easily accessible so that it can facilitate the concept of learning from anywhere and anytime.
The formation of the BPK CorpU is also inseparable from the implementation of cooperation with BPK’s strategic partners, namely Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP), Public Accounting Firms (KAP) , ministry/institutional/local government training institutions, SAIs of other countries, professional institutions, and universities. In the future, the products produced by BPK CorpU will not only be utilized by BPK internal parties but also by BPK external parties. In this regard, BPK plans that in 2023 BPK CorpU will become an excellent world-class corporate university and become a member of the Global Council of Corporate Universities (GCCU).
The inauguration ceremony of BPK CorpU which was attended by more than 700 participants was followed by a talkshow entitled “Acceleration of Organizational Performance Improvement by Applying the Principles of Corporate University”. The speakers in this talk show were Deputy Chairperson of the BPK-Agus Joko Pramono, Chairman of the Global Council of Corporate Universities (GCCU)-Annick Renaud-Coulon, Deputy for Policy Development for LAN Competence-Muhammad Taufiq, Head of BPPK-Andin Hadiyanto, and Senior General Manager Telkom CorpU- Jemy Vestius Confido with Helmy Yahya as moderator. This talkshow is a means of sharing knowledge about Corporate University.
The inauguration of BPK CorpU in addition to providing awareness and understanding to all BPK leaders and implementers regarding the transformation of Badiklat PKN into CorpU governance, is also to provide socialization and understanding of BPK CorpU, as well as provide a concrete picture and its benefits for BPK stakeholders both internally and externally. The existence of BPK CorpU is expected to be a center of knowledge in realizing quality and useful state financial governance to achieve state goals. In addition, it can also be a medium for BPK to improve the quality of state financial audits and expand accountability for all.
