Abstract

This research is intended to analyze the strategic role of the Ponorogo Regency DPRD Secretariat in preventing and minimizing criminal acts of misuse of local government program/activity budgets. Furthermore, this research aims to explore the role and function of the DPRD Secretariat as a partner of the KPK as the Management Unit (UPL). UPL is a task force that partners with the KPK in managing LHKPN at the agency level. The involvement of UPL in LHKPN reporting at DPRD Ponorogo is expected to minimize obstacles during the reporting process and can encourage LHKPN compliance. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis techniques, and considers three indicators, namely facilitator, catalyst, and regulator as the unit of analysis. The data collection was carried out using observation, interview and documentation techniques. The collected data is analyzed by reducing data, triangulating, verifying, and drawing conclusions which are then presented by providing recommendations.The research findings show that; 1) The facilitator role that has been carried out by the DPRD Secretariat has met the needs of infrastructure and answered the quality of LHKPN reporting by mediating the KPK with DPRD members and assisting LHKPN reporting; 2) DPRD Secretariat has proven to be a catalyst that is able to monitor LHKPN, circulate notification letters, conduct correspondence administration, and coordinate; 3) As a regulator, DPRD has not carried out harmonization of KPK regulations related to LHKPN at the agency level. The recommendations in this study are that the DPRD Secretariat is expected to become a facilitator of DPRD in increasing the capacity of DPRD members' human resources through support for socialization/training/technical guidance activities, in preparing LHKPN operational standards and formulating agency-level regulations in accordance with KPK guidelines.
