Unqualified opinion is one of the requirements that the Bogor district administration must fulfill to receive regional incentive funds from the state budget.
Bandung, W Java (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has accused suspended Bogor district head Ade Yasin of bribing State Audit Board (BPK) auditors to obtain an unqualified opinion for the district's financial report for the 2021 budget year.



KPK prosecutor Budiman Abdul Karib said here on Wednesday that a bribe of Rp1.9 billion was given to four BPK auditors, who were also named suspects in the case.



The money was given in stages between October 2021 and 2022 in amounts ranging from Rp10 million to Rp100 million, in accordance with the BPK employees' request, he informed.

Yasin and her subordinates, including an official from the local finance and asset management board (BPKAD) and the secretary of the public works and public housing (PURR) office, collected the money from several regional apparatus working units under the purview of the Bogor district administration, he said.



"They (the units) are the public works and public housing office, the health office, the education office, the regional development planning office, Ciawi regional general hospital, Cibinong regional general hospital, and contractors implementing projects within the Bogor district administration," he added.

The KPK prosecutor said Yasin had wanted the district to obtain an unqualified opinion for its financial report for the 2021 budget year, just like it did the previous year. According to BPK auditors, the 2021 financial report was very bad and had the potential to receive a disclaimer opinion.



"Unqualified opinion is one of the requirements that the Bogor district administration must fulfill to receive regional incentive funds from the state budget," he explained.
