disclaimer by BPK is due to inadequate competence of human resources. Meanwhile, the
high level of corruption is because the existing form of corruption eradication still relies
on repressive measures rather than prevention (preventive) which focuses on
improving/strengthening the internal control system. One of the government's
commitments in realizing a clean and free state administration from KKN is to build an
effective government internal control system in accordance with the mandate of Article
58 paragraphs (1) and (2) of Law Number 1 of 2004 concerning the State Treasury,
namely the issuance of Government Regulation Number 60 of 2008 (PP 60/2008)
concerning the Government's Internal Control System.
One of the Government Agencies who are also obliged to organize SPIP in their
work environment is the Gorontalo Regency government (Aneta & Podungge, 2021).
Therefore, the main focus in this research is how to create effective and efficient activities
in accordance with one of the objectives of SPIP, namely the creation of effective and
efficient activities at the command office. Gorontalo district in terms of elements of the
Control Environment. Internal Control System is very necessary in running the wheels of
government (Dewi & Hoesada, 2020). This system can work if all elements involved in
government have the knowledge, ability and willingness to run it simultaneously and
sustainably. In order for the administration of government to run well, the Government's
Internal Control System should be implemented simultaneously and sustainably, starting
from planning, implementation, supervision, until accountability runs in an orderly,
controlled and effective and efficient manner (Latupeirissa & Suryawan, 2021).
The statutory mandate of the Government Internal Control System serves as a
guideline for the implementation and benchmarks for testing the effectiveness of the
implementation of SPIP, namely Government Regulation Number 60 of 2008 concerning
the Government's Internal Control System (Aneta & Podungge, 2021). As stated in the
Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 60 of 2008 concerning the
Government Internal Control System it states that the Regency/Municipal Inspectorate is
a Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus who is directly responsible to the
Regent/Mayor (Indah & Erina, 2019). It is hoped that the integral process of actions and
activities can actually be carried out continuously by the leadership and employees in
order to provide adequate confidence in the achievement of government goals through
effective and efficient activities. all employees to achieve common goals. The Gorontalo
Regency Government strives to be able to run the Internal Control System as well as
possible in order to achieve common goals (Zahara, 2018).
Based on information from the Gorontalo Post daily on Wednesday, March 6,
2019, the regent's statement, Prof. Dr. Nelson Pomalingo, was to improve the quality of
presentation through performance reports. In this case, the statement of the regent of
Gorontalo Regency that the hard work carried out by the region actually needs to be in
conjunction with the presentation of accurate and quality performance report documents
(Nuna, Ahmad, Tumuhulawa, Junus, & Moonti, 2021). This balance is seen as important
because in addition to being a measure of orderly governance, it is also sufficient for the
central government's assessment requirements for each region before determining
national policies (Bilbiie, Monacelli, & Perotti, 2021). For the Gorontalo Regency
government, this has so far been quite successful (Ibrahim, Tahir, & Wahyuni, 2021). The
Gorontalo Regency Government's public service survey got a B score, the presentation of
financial statements got a WTP score, the performance accountability report or LAKIP
also got a B and finally the evaluation of the regional government performance report or
LPPD got a B. The regent's statement in the future must increase again our target must be
to enter the top 10 or at least the top 20 nationally.
