The Finance Department was finally able to announce the finding of unreported bank accounts of the Supreme Audit Agency's (BPK)or unclassified version in the 2006 Central Government's Financial Statement (LKPP). The number of the unclassifed accounts is 2,396 with Rp2.7 trillion value. The total of unauthorized accounts that have been found since 2004 is 5,591 and are worth Rp20 trillion.

According to the Director General of the Treasury of the Finance Department, Herry Purnomo, the department still needs to ask clarification from 35 ministries or state institutions where the accounts were found. “The team was only given six months to bring order to the unreported accounts,” said Herry at his office, Friday (15/6).

The accounts found in 2006 LKPP comprised demand deposit of 2,141 accounts in general banks that are worth Rp2.5 trillion in the form of time-deposits and 260 accounts worth Rp144,316,88 billion. “Those accounts will be classified as state revenues,” he said.

In addition to arranging the unreported accounts in 2006 LKPP, the team will also ask for clarification of the previous unauthorized accounts totaling 3,195 at 35 ministries or state institutions that are worth Rp17.6 trillion. “Whether there is duplication or they have their own divisions,” he said.

In order to arrange the accounts, Herry said the Finance Minister has issued two Finance Minister Regulations. First, No. 57/PMK.05/2007 dated June 13, 2007 on the Management of the Bank Accounts of the State Ministries/Institutions/Offices/Working Units. The second, No. 58/PMK.05/2007 dated June 13 on the Arrangements of Government Bank Accounts for State Ministries/Institutions. “And she issued a Finance Minister Instruction for the Finance Department to regulate the unreported accounts within three month time,” he said.
