Horas! My accounting background has been leading me to be an auditor for these seven years both in private and public sectors. Currently, I serve as an auditor at the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia. Initially, I was assigned to the North Sumatera Regional Office from 2015 to 2018. I then was transferred to East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) which is one of the underdeveloped regions in Indonesia as stipulated at Presidential Decree Number 131 Year 2015 concerning Determination of Underdeveloped Regions in 2015 to 2019. Based on the decree, 18 out of 21 regencies in NTT was determined as underdeveloped ones. I spontaneously wish to be more involved in terms of NTT’s development through my role as a state auditor.
On the one hand, my practical knowledge has shaped me to be more experienced in conducting audits over governments’ accountability in utilising state finance. Within these past three years, I had the chance to engage in all types of auditing, namely audit over financial statements, performance audits, and special purpose audits. They turned out rising my awareness about possible mismanage in connection with accounting practices at sub-national governments level, such as illegal evidence prepared by the treasurer to disburse the regional budget of Serdang Bedagai, one of the regencies in North Sumatera. Through these years, I truly assessed that 2019 is the best time for me to sharpen my saw, as Stephen Covey wrote. The offered courses, particularly Advanced International Financial Reporting and Governing Decision-Making Through Data Visualisations, are expected to enrich my accounting and auditing understanding which absolutely goes beyond the national level, even worldwide. I envision these courses support me conducting my planned thesis about village funds, which is one of the hot issues in Indonesia due to its allocation reaching Rp70 trillion in 2019 state budget or around Rp1 billion per village. In Government Regulation Number 43 Year 2014, mandatory reporting and accountability procedures are undertaken by village officials are expected to safeguard the state budget against possible misuses of spending. However, according to Indonesia Corruption Watch concerning the village fund year 2015 until 2018 (1st semester), there are 181 corruption cases resulting in state losses amounted to Rp40.6 billion. This condition triggers me to learn about the accounting practices on an international scale which will be covered by Advanced International Financial Reporting at the University of Edinburgh; one of the most reputable universities around the world majoring in Accounting.
On the other hand, there was admittedly the main obstacle hindering me joining class of 2019, namely fund. At first, I had no donors to fund my school, but I am thankfully granted LPDP Scholarship as announced by Indonesia Government which is fully supporting me in education and non-education costs. I hope that I could obtain the unconditional access to savour education at the University of Edinburgh as soon as possible in order to ensure my scholarship’s status. I am so courageous to submit my application so I hopefully will benefit the class of 2019 with my (Indonesia) knowledge.
In conclusion, this perseverance muscle has been training me to keep going harder and smarter which significantly enables me giving more contributions to the country by enhancing my capacity, both as a person and as a state auditor. Hence, I sincerely wish that I am granted unconditional access.
