Audit Sosial Dalam Pencegahan Korupsi PBJ pada Sektor Kontruksi di Indonesia

Abstract

Corruption in the procurement of goods and services (PBJ) in the Indonesian construction sector is the second largest corruption case after bribery in Indonesia. This corruption is carried out by involving the government and private contractors, thus damaging the quality of infrastructure and misusing public funds. Many studies have discussed corruption in PBJ, none have specifically highlighted the relationship between contractor compliance, the role of the community, and the effectiveness of social audits. This study uses a socio-legal method with a political economy of law approach to determine contractor compliance and the role of the community in preventing corruption in PBJ in the Indonesian construction sector, as well as the effectiveness of social audits in preventing corruption in the construction sector. The results show that contractor compliance with procurement regulations reduces the potential for corruption in construction projects. Community participation in public monitoring is important to detect violations. Social audits are effective in increasing transparency and accountability, but require government support and access to information. Collaboration between the community and the government is crucial to improving the accountability of construction projects and building public trust. This collaboration allows the community to be involved in the oversight process and ensure that projects are implemented in accordance with applicable regulations. With community involvement, potential violations can be detected early, so that preventive measures can be taken before the problem develops into corruption

Abstract

Corruption in the Piggyback (PGB) in the Indonesian construction sector involves the government and private contractors, which damages the quality of infrastructure and misuses public funds. As of September 2024, the KPK recorded 1,639 corruption cases, with 394 occurring in the PBJ sector, making it the second-largest corruption sector after bribery. Satria Unggul W.P Satria Unggul W.P (2023) stated that PGB is prone to corruption because it is related to the state budget, while Cesar Rengganis (2021) highlighted its negative impact on infrastructure. Social audits are considered effective in increasing transparency and accountability, as expressed by Satria Unggul W.P. (2023). Marten Bunga (2019) and Steven Ferico (2020) emphasize the importance of public awareness of corruption. This study found that although many studies discuss corruption in PGB, none have specifically highlighted the relationship between contractor compliance, community roles, and the effectiveness of social audits. This study formulated two main problems: 1) how is contractor compliance and the role of the community in preventing PGB corruption in the Indonesian construction sector? 2) how effective is social audit in preventing corruption in the construction sector? The socio-legal method and the political economy of law approach help us understand PGB corruption and the factors that influence the effectiveness of social audits in preventing it. The results of the study show that contractors' compliance with the regulations on the procurement of goods and services (PBJ) reduces the potential for corruption in construction projects. Public participation in public monitoring is important to detect violations. Social audits are effective in increasing transparency and accountability, but they require government support and access to information. Collaboration between the community and the government is essential to increase the accountability of construction projects and build public trust. This collaboration allows the community to be involved in the monitoring process and ensure that the project is implemented in accordance with applicable regulations. With community involvement, potential violations can be detected early, so preventive measures can be taken before the problem develops into corruption.
