Investigating accountability of state subsidies for political parties

16 Mei 2024
Regulations stipulate that a political party must prepare financial reports to facilitate sound financial management and accountability of the state subsidies it receives. However, its accountability remains problematic, raising a question: How do the related policies deal with the accountability of state subsidies for political parties? This study aims to evaluate issues related to accountability in the policies governing the management of state subsidies for political parties. This study is normative legal research. Within a meta-analysis framework, critical analysis of the relevant policies in the form of laws and regulations and other reliable sources of information is carried out. The study finds that the policies provide rules to ensure eligible political parties ' right to obtain state subsidies and employ audit and administrative sanctions to enhance state subsidy accountability. Nevertheless, the policies still overlook important issues related to vertical accountability of political parties and government, horizontal accountability of government, internal control mechanisms, supervision requirements, and formal and material responsibilities by relevant in-charge parties. Moreover, the running audit practices do not provide much value for improvement. This study provides policy-makers with a new perspective on relevant studies so that the government will consider the comprehensive management of state subsidies for political parties by relevant in-charge parties before elevating the value of the subsidies.

Bencana dapat memicu risiko terjadinya bencana yang lain. Kondisi tersebut mengakibatkan setiap tahunnya masyarakat menderita akibat bencana. Pemerintah mutlak memerlukan dana dalam jumlah besar untuk menanggulangi bencana dan memulihkan wilayah pascabencana. Permasalahannya ialah banyaknya kejadian yang ditetapkan sebagai bencana akan berdampak pada pendanaan dan distribusi sumber daya. Selain itu, permasalahan kelembagaan Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD) dan pengelolaan bantuan bencana yang tidak profesional dapat berpengaruh pula pada akuntabilitas dan transparansi penyelenggaraan penanggulangan bencana dan pengelolaan bantuan bencana. Kajian ini dilakukan melalui studi literatur tentang kebijakan-kebijakan yang terkait dengan penanggulangan bencana. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa status bencana perlu ditetapkan berdasarkan definisi dan parameter yang jelas sebagaimana diamanatkan oleh Undang -Undang (UU) No. 24 Tahun 2007. Sebagai tambahan, peningkatan fungsi dan wewenang BPBD dan pengadopsian standar atau praktik terbaik pengelolaan bantuan bencana juga perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan akuntabilitas dan transparansi penyelenggaraan penanggulangan bencana.

Sustainability Fraud: Greenwashing

01 Maret 2023
For years, consumers' requests for green products and limited oversight have together contributed to the rise of greenwashing. Although some believe that is just corporate cheap talk about environmental performance, in the long term, greenwashing may hamper the achievement of SDGs and thus push goverments as well as SAIs to respond accordingly. This study tries to elaborate on the issue of greenwashing, the policy framework around this issue, and how it affects the audit assignment using a study literature review.
