JAKARTA, Jan 14, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) of Indonesia said it has to involve public accountants in auditing the financial reports of nine ministries and other government agencies and 26 regional administrations this year.

Based on the Law No. 15/2004, BPK is allowed to involve public accountants, but they work on behalf of BPK.

The nines ministries and government agencies are the National Resilience Council (Wantanas), the Office of the Coordinating Minister for Economy, the Business Competition Supervision Commission (KPPU), the National Standardization Body (BSN), and the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), the Financial Transaction Analysis and Reporting Center (PPATK), the State Administration Institution (LAN), the Ministry for Woman Empowerment and Protection of Children(KPP & PA), and the Nuclear Energy Supervision Agency (Bapeten).

The 26 regional administrations include Aceh, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, South Sumatra, Bengkulu, Lampung, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, East Java , West Nusa Tenggara, East Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, West Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, and Southeast Sulawesi.
