Acting Head of SKK Migas Johanes Widjonarko said in a press statement here on Sunday that his office received unqualified opinions for its November 14 - December 31, 2012 financial report as well as for its December 31, 2013 financial report.
The BPK has previously granted unqualified opinion ratings to its financial reports for the periods from 2008 to 2013.
"This is an achievement that deserves to be pride of SKK Migas financial reports have received the BPKs unqualified opinion ratings for six consecutive times," J Widjonarko said.
