On September 2, 2023, PT Petrokimia Gresik participated in the Workshop on Strengthening Culture and Anti-Fraud Commitment organized by Pupuk Indonesia Group, along with the signing of the Anti-Fraud Policy and Commitment. The event was attended by the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and the President Director of Pupuk Indonesia Group, taking place at the Pusri Building, Kemanggisan, Jakarta.
According to The Institute of Internal Auditors, fraud encompasses various irregularities and illegal acts characterized by intentional deception. It can be committed for the benefit or detriment of the organization by individuals both inside and outside the organization.
Based on Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) data from 2004 to 2022, BUMD/BUMN ranks fourth in the number of corruption cases (Tipikor), with a total of 109 cases. Consequently, PT Petrokimia Gresik, as a subsidiary of PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero), is obligated to actively participate in preventing corruption through the Anti-Fraud Policy and Commitment, in accordance with Supreme Court Regulation Number 13 of 2016. This regulation states that "corporations can be held criminally responsible if they fail to prevent, mitigate larger impacts, and ensure compliance with applicable laws to avoid criminal acts."
ICW data shows an increasing trend in corruption cases in BUMNs from 2016 to 2021, with 119 cases and a total loss of IDR 47.9 trillion. Factors contributing to this trend include overlapping positions in BUMN's senior management, insufficient commitment of BUMN leaders to anti-corruption functions, individuals within BUMN seeking personal gain in projects/assignments, and a lack of accountability and transparency in BUMN's financial management.
The Anti-Fraud Program comprises three components: prevention, detection, and response. Prevention involves implementing the Anti-Fraud Policy, Behavior and Discipline Standards, Employee and Stakeholder Care, and Fraud Risk Assessment. Detection utilizes the Reporting and Whistleblower Protection System, and response involves Audit Investigations and Disclosure. These are encapsulated in the "Prinisp 4 No’s," which prohibits bribery, kickbacks, inappropriate gifts, and luxurious hospitality.
Corruption in BUMN can also be prevented through BPKP recommendations, such as the Fraud Control Plan (FCP). FCP is an overall anti-fraud control strategy summarized in a document and approved by the Entity Owner of Fraud Risks. The function of FCP is to strengthen internal controls, integrate work results between divisions for fraud prevention, demonstrate top management's commitment to anti-fraud efforts, assist management in risk-based decision-making, and prepare the framework for implementing ABMS (ISO 37001) as mandated by Presidential Instruction 10 of 2016.
Through this commitment, Petrokimia Gresik will take preventive measures against corruption through the 10 Anti-Corruption Principles for SOEs, as outlined by Transparency International. These principles include operating with high ethical and integrity standards, ensuring governance best practices, accountability through transparency, implementing human resource policies supporting anti-corruption programs, designing comprehensive anti-corruption plans, implementing detailed policies to combat major corruption risks, managing relationships with third parties to ensure equivalent anti-corruption standards, embedding anti-corruption programs through communication and training, providing secure and accessible whistleblowing advice and channels, and continually monitoring, assessing, and improving the implementation of anti-corruption programs.
Through the signing of the Anti-Fraud Policy and Commitment, PT Petrokimia Gresik actively contributes to the prevention of corruption. Additionally, it is expected that the workshop will provide broader benefits to PT Petrokimia Gresik in enhancing efforts to be free from corruption for the Petrokimia Gresik team. Eradicate Corruption! Save the Nation!
