BPKP considers that in order to support implementation of BPKP’s mandates in the PP 60/2008, it has to improve the capacity of its human resources. Thus, BPKP has added activities, which include domestic and overseas training in several related audit topics, benchmarking several related professional auditor areas, international courses related to the capacity development of internal auditors, domestic technical training, comparative study in several related audit topics, domestic professional certification, and domestic training on IT development. In addition, BPKP will also procure IT equipments to equip its personnel in implementing the mandates. All the activities added to the original plan are relevant and in line with ADB expectations, as they are supporting the implementation of the new regulation and improving the capacity of the entity. The outcomes and expected outcomes of these added activities are further described in Chapter 3. 2.1.3 Designing a Professional Degree Education and Non-degree Education Program for Internal Auditors MONE-IG The main activities of MONE-IG are related to the preparation of a degree education program in public accounting and auditing. The activities consist of reviewing the current education program for public sector auditing and accounting, developing new curricula for public sector auditing and accounting, implementing the new educational module through selected local universities, selecting candidates from IG and BAWASDA staff to participate in the scholarship supported program and evaluating the performance of the scholarship program. ~ 13 ~ State Audit Reform Sector Development Project (STAR-SDP) Investment Loan ADB LOAN NO. 2127 - IN0 (SF) – Assessment Report – December 31, 2010 To ensure the successful implementation of the scholarship program, MONE-IG planned to hire an individual consultant for Quality Assurance to be in charge of conducting the survey in regard to the MONE-IG scholarship activities. However, MONE-IG was not able to find a consultant after two tenders, as the budget allocated to the assignment was too low and hence this activity has been carried out internally. There has been no impact on the relevance, as the review of the scholarship program has been conducted internally. In order to implement the scholarship program and to be more efficient, the local lecturers have been trained in Public Accounting and State Finance Audit, as lecturers in local universities lack skills in these fields. To improve the skills of internal auditors and reach international standards, international shortcourses in IIA Australia and Netherlands have been scheduled. As the coordination between local government and local universities must be improved, as well as the contribution of local universities, MONE-IG has organized a workshop on coordination for updating the status of the scholarship program. These added activities are relevant to the objectives of STAR-SDP, as they support to develop skills and ensure a sound implementation of the scholarship program. The outcomes and expected outcomes of these added activities are further described in Chapter 3. BPPK According to the original plan, BPPK was only expected to review the current education/certification programs for government-sector accounting and auditing and subsequently develop the curriculum for a non-degree education program and the training modules for the program implementation. However, after completing development of the curriculum and modules, the Executing Agency and BPPK decided to extend the role of BPPK with implementation of short-course training to BAWASDA employees using the curriculum and modules previously developed. This additional activity is in line with the project expectation because it supports the capacity development of BAWASDA and utilizes the output of previous activity. Moreover, BPPK has solid experience in preparing and conducting training. The outcome of this added activity is further described in Chapter 3. ~ 14 ~
