This is undertaken through examination of the quality of information in the reports of the Indonesian State Audit Institution (BPK) with comparison between preceding and following audit reform. This study evaluates the factors influencing to the effectiveness of such audit information.

This study revealed that the executive’s history had historically neglected the roles and functions of BPK. Auditors lacked independence as f.
the executive influenced the administration and finances of BPK. Auditors The
also had lack of opportunity to increase their professionalism. Since there
was little incentive for auditors not to accept audit fees from auditees, the
objectivity and integrity of auditors was reduced significantly.
Since the third amendment of 1945 Constitution in 2001, the Indonesian ing
government had reformed laws and regulations related to public sector
auditing for strengthening BPK. In situation where the Indonesian public
administration needs immediate reform, BPK keeps trying to improve its aud
professionalism and independence to provide qualified audit reports. BPK (19
