Implementing good organizational governance (Good Governance) requires the support of superior and professional human resources in the field of audits (auditors) that can prevent, detect, and carry out investigative audits of irregularities. Therefore, the Government’s Internal Oversight Apparatus (APIP) plays an important role in implementing Good Governance and eradicating Corruption, Collusion, and Nepotism (KKN) because it has oversight tasks and functions within the scope of its authority.
All Parties are fully responsible for fraud control as it is the joint work of management, APIP, External Auditors, and Law Enforcement Officials (APH). Effective fraud control requires a joint commitment to understanding the role of each party, whether APIP, External Auditor, or Law Enforcement Officials. In guarding state/regional financial accountability during an emergency, collaboration, and synergy in roles among APIP-BPK-APH must be carried out from the start, not waiting for problems/violations to arise, and oriented towards preventing leakage of state/regional money.
An investigative audit is an audit that is full of legal aspects; therefore, the methods and techniques for searching for evidence used in carrying out an investigative audit must be in harmony with legal aspects, especially the legal aspects of criminal acts and/or state losses as well as aspects of criminal procedural law.
