The aid-corruption paradox in development: An examination of provinces in Indonesia

The relationship between aid and corruption remains ambiguous. On the one hand, aid may benefit a country if the aid management system runs efficiently and transparently. On the other hand, aid tends to create new problems, namely corruption, especially in developing countries. This research examines the aid-corruption paradox in Indonesian provinces from a spatial perspective. The data was obtained from the Indonesian Ministry of Finance, the National Development Planning Agency of Indonesia, the Corruption Eradication Commission of Indonesia, and the Electronic Procurement Service, referring to 34 Indonesian provinces between 2011 and 2019. The research applies the spatial panel method and uses Haversine distance to construct the weighted matrix. The spatial error model (SEM) is the best for Model 1 (Grants) and Model 2 (Loans) and the best corruption model in Model 3 (Gratification). The spatial autoregressive model (SAR) is the best approach for Model 4 (Public Complaints) and Model 5 (Corruption). The findings show that there is no spatial dependence between provinces in Indonesia in terms of grants or loans. However, corruption in Indonesia is widespread.

The role of e-procurement in promoting government transparency: Lessons from Surabaya

Background: This study examines accountability and transparency in the public procurement process, focusing on Surabaya, the first city to implement e-procurement reform. E-procurement leverages the latest information technology to improve procurement efficiency and transparency. Methods: A descriptive qualitative approach was used, using purposive sampling to gather in-depth insights from critical informants who thoroughly understood the research focus. Data were collected from various entities, including the Surabaya City Electronic Procurement Service (LPSE), the City Procurement Unit (ULP), and related public works and private auction companies. Findings: The implementation of e-procurement in Surabaya has succeeded in building an accountable and transparent system. This system has improved the procurement committee’s ability to justify and report the entire procurement process vertically to higher authorities and horizontally to the public. Despite this progress, some suppliers still engage in fraudulent practices, highlighting the need for continued vigilance and commitment. Conclusions: Although e-procurement has significantly improved accountability and transparency in the procurement process in Surabaya, the committee and suppliers need to uphold strong ethical standards to prevent fraud. The e-procurement system alone is not enough. This system must be supported by solid law enforcement and a commitment to integrity to fully realize its potential in creating a fair procurement environment. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study comprehensively evaluates e-procurement implementation in Surabaya, revealing improvements in accountability and transparency and remaining challenges. The findings offer an applicable model for other cities in Indonesia and developing countries to optimize public e-procurement systems.

SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN UNTUK MENENTUKAN PEMENANG LELANG TENDER PROYEK MENGGUNAKAN METODE PERBANDINGAN EKSPONENTIAL PADA KANTOR DINAS PEKERJAAN UMUM TIMOR TENGAH UTARA

Tenders or auctions in the construction industry are often held, either public or open or closed depending on the owner and the project to be carried out. Tenders or auctions are needed because in the implementation of a project, both government projects and private projects, the owner expects the best bid for the project. A tender committee is an organization established and endorsed which is responsible for the successful auction of a tender. The tender or auction in the north middle Timor regency is held every year after the local government proposes the project procurement in the budget session with the DPR. Project procurement is proposed at the hearing in the form of the location and amount of the project budget, during the budget session. The amount of budget proposed by the government can be reduced and the project procurement can be canceled unilaterally by the DPR, after the budget session is over and the project procurement has been approved, the project will be posted on the LPSE (Electronic Procurement Service) website of north middle Timor regency. In determining the tender winner, at the final determination stage, is still done manually so there are a lot of cheats and frequent human errors, therefore an application is needed to assist and facilitate decision-making in determining the winner of the project tender. This research produces a decision support system application to determine the winner of the project tender that can assist the committee in determining decision-making using the Exponential Comparison Method. The result of the system implementation is that the system can assist and facilitate decision-making in determining the project tender winner. The decision support system for determining the winner of this project tender can assist the committee in determining decision-making using the Exponential Comparison Method. Measuring the accuracy of determining the project tender winner between the Public Works Agency ranking with the Exponential Comparison Method (MPE) algorithm ranking, obtained an accuracy rate of 100%, so that the Exponential Comparison Method algorithm is feasible to be implemented in making a decision support system for determining project tender winners at the office North Middle Timor Regency Public Works.
 

Klasifikasi Nama Paket Pengadaan Menggunakan Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Pada Data Pengadaan

Every year the government always holds procurement of goods and services (tenders) which are informed through the Electronic Procurement Service (LPSE) or the General Procurement Plan Information System (SIRUP). The process of selecting the type of procurement is still manual, namely by selecting the package category so that it is possible for mistakes to occur such as the type of service procurement into the category of goods procurement type or vice versa. Therefore, this research proposes to use the Natural Language Processing (NLP) method that can classify these packages based on existing categories. The method used is Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) by comparing existing classification methods such as naïve bayes, logistic regression, decision tree, XG Boost, Gradient Boost, Random Forest and Support Vector Machine. The results obtained by the LSTM method have a higher accuracy than other methods, with an accuracy of 90.25%. With a parameter configuration of 100 units in the LSTM layer, epoch 10, batch size 64 and validation step 5

Implementation of Robotic Process Automation in Public Sector Goods and Services e-Procurement Audit

Indonesia has adopted e-Procurement through an electronic procurement system (SPSE) implemented by the Electronic Procurement Service to improve transparency and efficiency in the procurement of goods and services (LPSE). Although the data/information presented in the LPSE is easily accessible, using the data in the LPSE for supervisory or audit functions is still not optimal, despite the fact that procurement of goods and services is the area with the highest corruption cases in Indonesia. The large amount of data in LPSE makes the audit process difficult because there is too much data to consider, especially if the audit process is still manual. As a result, auditors must use information technology to aid audit activities, also known as Computer Assisted Audit Techniques (TABK). In the field of public procurement auditing, the methodology for extracting large amounts of information is also unknown. Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which is thought to have great potential to facilitate audit work, is one of the information technologies that can help with the process of extracting large amounts of data. The author attempts to investigate how the implementation of RPA in the audit of the procurement of goods and services in the public sector that were analyzed descriptively in this study. The study's findings show that process automation can be done well and produce data that can be used in audits.

Studi Semi-Systematic Review terhadap Persepsi Penggunaan, Persepsi Kemanfaatan dan Kepercayaan Sebagai Prediktor Kepuasan Penyediaan Barang/Jasa LPSE di Indonesia

The implementation of electronic procurement of goods and services (e-procurement) in Indonesia has proven to reduce costs and increase time efficiency.
