The Head of General and Financial Bureau, Kemristekdikti, Moch. Wiwin Darwina, who was presented as a reviewer said that the readiness of UPNVY as a state university with the status of PK-BLU must be prepared, one of which is by absorbing the use of high budget.

State Universities are fully permitted to implement PK-BLU, then the financial management can be done more flexibly, by prioritizing productivity, efficiency and effectiveness.

The pattern of the financial management of the BLU is intended so that State Universities as government agencies can improve their services to customers, in this case they are students, the community, and stake holders.

All PNBP funds obtained from the students, community, empowerment of facilities, and other sources can be managed directly without having to deposit in advance to KPPN. The relationship to KPPN is in the form of receipt and expenditure reports.

The implementation of financial management of Public Service Agencies of a Higher Education requires a high commitment from the budget managers, because this pattern is based on the pattern of budgets developed by the Universities themselves in accordance with the flexibility given to the BLU financial management rules. In addition to commitments, the principle of accountability and transparency is certainly needed in managing the budget. (wwj / PR)
