Author: Jessica Du, Editor and Vice President, International Journal of Government Auditing
The Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan RI, or BPK), Indonesia’s Supreme Audit Institution (SAI), will host the XXVI International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) Congress (INCOSAI) in 2028 in Bali, Indonesia.
Dr. Isma Yatun, Chair of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia, shared that SAI Indonesia is committed to presenting a significant and unforgettable Congress, an experience that embodies the spirit of collaboration and knowledge sharing within the global audit community.
BPK envisions the XXVI INCOSAI as a transformative platform for knowledge exchange and collective learning. The Congress in Bali will bring together the global audit community to discuss emerging developments, strengthen collaboration, and advance INTOSAI’s commitment to promoting public accountability and delivering value for citizens worldwide.
Dr. Isma Yatun shared with INTOSAI members that the values of determination, togetherness, and wisdom, integral to the Indonesian national identity, will influence every aspect of the XXVI INCOSAI in Bali. She emphasized that Indonesia’s readiness to serve as INTOSAI Chair in 2028 and host the Congress extends beyond infrastructure and logistics, highlighting that it is built upon BPK’s institutional experience, technical competence, and longstanding engagement within the INTOSAI community since joining in 1968.
The Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia was established in 1947, shortly after Indonesia’s independence, to safeguard state finances and strengthen public accountability. Its mandate is rooted in the 1945 Constitution, which affirms BPK as an independent institution responsible for auditing the management and accountability of state finances. Over time, BPK’s independence and authority were further reinforced with Constitutional amendments and laws, expanding its role in auditing central and local governments, state-owned enterprises, and other entities managing public funds. Today, the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia serves as Indonesia’s supreme audit institution, contributing to transparency, good governance, and anti-corruption efforts nationwide.
