"The BPKP promotes efforts to digitize the handling of corruption, one of which is by using big data analysis," BPKP Head Muhammad Yusuf Ateh stated here on Friday.
Ateh said corruption does not only potentially occur in the government environment, but its indications also reach a wider scope, such as the business sector.
"Through big data analysis, the BPKP has succeeded in uncovering interesting facts about business governance engaged in strategic industries," he remarked.
According to Ateh, through processing big data, the BPKP was able to uncover a series of facts about various alleged problems that will be used as identification material and find indications of the flow of funds.
He said the indication in the flow of funds is to track assets and recover from state and corporate financial losses due to corruption.
"The BPKP digital forensics laboratory supports APH (law enforcement officers) investigators to detect and handle corruption," he remarked.
In preventing and eradicating corruption, the BPKP has formed the "Anti-Corruption Learning Society."
The BPKP also implements the Fraud Control Plan (FCP) as a system in an organization designed to prevent, counteract, and early detect the possibility of corruption.
Moreover, there is the IEPK, or the corruption control effectiveness index, to measure the progress of all efforts to prevent and handle corruption risks in an organization.
Vice President Ma'ruf Amin emphasized that commemorating World Anti-Corruption Day every December 9 is a reminder that corruption is the enemy of all nations.
"Similar to COVID-19, corruption is a global calamity. All countries state that corruption is the root of many problems," he noted on Friday.
To combat corruption, high-value resources must be managed properly and used for the benefit of the people, he stated.
