and Budgeting

Introduction
Planning and budgeting are two things that are interrelated and require synergy to
realize effective and efficient planning and budgeting (Sodikin, 2020). Efforts to improve
the quality of planning and budgeting in Indonesia began with the launch of the reform
of state financial management (Suryadi, 2023). This reform was marked by the enactment
of Law Number 17 of 2003 concerning State Finance, Law Number 1 of 2004 concerning
the State Treasury and Law Number 15 of 2004 concerning the Audit of State Financial
Management and Responsibility. Meanwhile, related to planning, was marked by the
enactment of Law Number 25 of 2004 concerning the National Development Planning
System (Zunaidi & Santoso, 2021).
By the mandate of Law Number 17 of 2003 concerning State Finance, the
preparation of planning and budgeting by Ministries/Institutions are guided by 3 (three)
budgeting systems, namely (1) Unified Budgeting Approach, (2) Performance-Based
Budgeting Approach and (3) Medium Term Expenditure Framework Approach (Rahim,
2022). The Integrated Budgeting Approach is carried out by integrating the entire
planning and budgeting process within the Ministries/Institutions to produce RKA-K/L
documents with budget classifications according to organization, function and type of
expenditure (economy). The performance-based budgeting approach is a budgeting
system that pays attention to the relationship between funding and performance and pays
attention to efficiency in achieving this performance (Anggriawan, 2023). Meanwhile,
the KPJM Approach is a policy-based budget preparation that causes budget implications
for more than 1 (one) year (Purnomo, 2021).
The implementation of the Law package in the field of State Finance does not
automatically result in effective and efficient state financial management (Madjid, 2020).
To improve Performance-Based Budgeting, especially regarding the measurement and
evaluation of budget performance, the Government issued Government Regulation (PP)
Number 90 of 2010 concerning the Preparation of Work Plans and Budgets of
Ministries/Institutions (RKA-K/L) (Pratama, 2017). Ministries/Institutions and Local
Governments (Pemda) are introduced to the reward and punishment system and the
application of fee standards. In addition, to answer the challenge of disintegration in
program and budget planning, the government passed Government Regulation Number
17 of 2017 concerning Planning and Budgeting Synchronization which regulates the role
of institutions and responsibilities for the preparation of national development plans and
budgets as well as the control of the achievement of development goals (Sihaloho, Ariza,
& Munandar, 2024).
However, as the planning and budgeting process in Indonesia has been running
for approximately 8 (eight) years, Budget Reform is considered to still not show the
effectiveness of planning and budgeting through the results of evaluations conducted by
the Ministry of Finance and the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas). The
results of the evaluation include 4 (four) things, namely (Ministry of Finance, 2020):
1. Central and regional spending programs are not synchronized so their performance
achievements have not met the target;
