It is not surprising that in the implementation of construction service work, things arise that deviate from the initial planning, resulting in claims by the Provider of Goods/Services to the User of Goods/Services. According to Law No. 2 of 2017 concerning Construction Services in Article 1, it explains that Construction Services are construction consultancy services and/or construction work. Construction Consultancy is a service for all or part of activities that include assessment, planning, design, supervision, and management of the implementation of construction of a building. Construction Work Claim Audit by BPKP (Financial and Development Supervisory Agenc. on Construction Contracts in BUMN is all or part of activities that include construction, operation, maintenance, demolition, and reconstruction of a building. So literally construction services include an activity from the beginning to the end of a construction project. The construction services industry has risk factors with a higher level of uncertainty compared to other (Roger Flanagan, 1. Construction projects are generally considered a sector that is full of risks, due to the large construction value and the many parties involved. These risks include risks to time . ork delay. , costs . hanges in work so that the construction value increase. , and work performance . ethods and use of materials that do not comply with specifications due to several The involvement of many parties is also one of the risks of this sector. Good coordination and cooperation are needed between various parties so that the planning and implementation of construction projects can run as they should. These things are quite different from the characteristics of the construction industry from other manufacturing industries. These characteristics of the construction industry are what make it unique and challenging for the parties involved in it. Understanding the characteristics of construction projects is the first step in making construction projects a success. (Seng Hansen, 2. This is a trigger for disputes. The greater the value and duration of a project, the higher the probability of a dispute occurring. (Yan, 2. One of the main problems in the implementation of construction in Indonesia is the existence of construction contract disputes that occur between the User of Goods/Services and the Provider of Goods/Services. Along with the increasing implementation of construction, the number of existing construction contract disputes is also increasing. Claims are often interpreted as demands or lawsuits, so that most construction activity implementers in Indonesia often consider it "taboo". On the one hand. Service Users are very "allergic" to the word On the other hand. Service Providers generally feel reluctant to file claims because they are afraid of being considered as a fussy Service Provider or demanding all sorts of things. The word "claim" or "claim" in English comes from the Latin word "clamare" or "clamo" which means to shout(Yasin. Construction claims are a common part of the construction project environment, and handling them requires a thorough understanding of contract provisions, project documentation, and dispute resolution Claim prevention through good risk management can be the key to minimizing the potential (Dr. Sami'an, 2. Some of the reasons for claims include the following:(Abdurrasyid, 2. Inaccurate design information . elayed design informatio. Inadequate design information Inadequate site investigation Slow client response Poor Communication Unrealistic time targets Inadequate contract administration Uncontrollable external events Incomplete tender information Unclear risk allocation Lateness Ae non payment To prepare a claim, of course, the User of Goods/Services and the Provider of Goods/Services must prepare everything properly and correctly, especially regarding the data and circumstances underlying a claim, so that the claim can be handled properly and correctly and does not cause any loss to the parties, both for those who submit and those who receive the claim. However, the claim cannot always be resolved or fulfilled. If the claim is not fulfilled or resolved, it means that a dispute has occurred between the contracting parties. This is what is meant by a construction dispute, namely a dispute that occurs in the construction industry. This dispute must be resolved through the legal route chosen by the parties in the contract, either through Alternative Dispute Resolution (Consultation. Negotiation. Mediation. Conciliation. Expert Assessmen. Arbitration, or through the Court. (Construction Contract Dispute Resolution Analysis, 2. Each non-litigation and litigation dispute resolution has different characteristics. Each method also has advantages and disadvantages. This can be adjusted by the parties by choosing the most effective dispute resolution institution in resolving disputes and is beneficial to the parties. International Journal of Law Policy and Governance Vol. 4 No. In construction service work owned by BUMN (State-Owned Enterprise. , several construction claims of the Goods/Service Provider that have been previously reviewed by the Goods/Service User, are continued for the claim audit process by BPKP (Financial and Development Supervisory Agenc. to obtain the final results of the settlement of construction claims that occur, especially for claims related to additional costs that are quite large in value. Of course, this requires a mutual agreement between the Goods/Service User and the Goods/Service Provider regarding the claim audit process to BPKP. This claim audit application to BPKP is made to ensure the amount of the claim submitted by the Goods/Service Provider, where BPKP is seen as a competent and experienced body for claim audits. Problems will arise if: The Goods/Service Provider does not agree to the claim audit process to BPKP because it is not stated in the construction contract or the Goods/Service Provider does not agree with the results of the claim audit conducted by BPKP. Based on the explanation above, the objective to be achieved in this study is to find out whether the application for a claim audit to BPKP can and needs to be carried out on construction contracts owned by BUMN. Or whether the application for a claim audit to BPKP is a faster way to resolve construction contract claims, compared to other dispute resolutions such as: Alternative Dispute Resolution (Consultation. Negotiation. Mediation. Conciliation. Expert Assessmen. Arbitration, or through the Court. LITERATURE REVIEW BPKP (Financial and Development Supervisory Agenc.

METHOD The research method used in this journal is by means of a literature study. Literature study means a data collection technique by reviewing books, literature, notes, and various reports related to the problem to be solved. (Nazir, 2. It is a series of activities related to the procedures for collecting library Literature studies are conducted by reviewing existing literature, such as books, journals, articles, theses, dissertations, and other publications, to understand concepts, theories, and previous findings related to the research problem being discussed. Literature studies are generally used in qualitative research. In this case, literature studies are used to obtain data based on conceptual facts and theoretical facts, not based on the researcher's perception. (Dr. Amir Hamzah, 2. The process International Journal of Law Policy and Governance Vol. 4 No. involves collecting data from various sources, such as laws and regulations and literature relevant to construction services and construction contract law. With this approach, the research aims to identify existing problems, find solutions to these problems, and produce conclusions as the final result of the The types of data used as a basis to support research results are: Primary legal materials, namely primary legal materials consisting of: Burgerlijke Wetboek Vor Indonesie (Civil Cod. Law No. 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution. Law No. 2 of 2017 concerning Construction Services. Secondary legal materials used in this research are the results of scientific works and research results that are related to the research object. Tertiary legal materials, namely materials that provide information about primary legal materials and secondary legal materials, such as existing case studies. RESULT AND DISCUSSION In accordance with the previous explanation regarding BPKP, it can be seen that there is a function in the BPKP section that is tasked with auditing claims, namely the Investigation Division. This Investigation Division conducts audits of claims by agencies/business entities/other agencies, including claims audit requests made by BUMN (State-Owned Enterprise. This request can be addressed to the BPKP Head Office or the BPKP Representative Office in each Province in accordance with the location of the construction work where the claim is located. As an example of a case in the Claim Audit by the BPKP Representative of East Java Province for the Compensation of Operational and Overhead Costs of the Grati Block i PLTGU whose project is owned by PT PLN (Perser. And also an example of a case based on the Claim Audit Report by the BPKP Representative of East Java Province Number: PE. 03 / LHP-652 / PW13 / 5/2022 dated September 30, 2022 along with the attachment of the Minutes of Discussion of the Results of the Claim Audit for the Extension Work of the 150x80 M Container Pier at the Teluk Lamong Terminal on September 12, 2022 which was attended by the Person in Charge of the Activity, namely Regional Head 3 of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Perser. and Chairman of the Board of Management of PT Krakatau Engineering-PT Amarta Karya (Perser. KSO at the BPKP Representative of East Java Province, there was a correction to the claim value which was originally IDR. 13,459,000,000. 00 becomes Rp. 10,173,283,454. 69 and in conclusion the parties agree with the results. (Moch. Faisal Dwi Alfian, 2. In accordance with Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution Article 6 Paragraph 3 above, one alternative dispute resolution can be resolved through the assistance of one or more expert opinions or through a mediator. BPKP as an institution where one of its fields is the Investigation Sector has the task of conducting claim audits, is very competent and has a lot of experience in conducting claim audits, can be seen as an expert institution that can help resolve disputes by conducting and submitting claim audit results. The results of this BPKP claim audit are used by the parties, both Users of Goods/Services or Providers of Goods/Services to resolve their disputes. The claim audit process to BPKP requires a mutual agreement between the User of Goods/Services and the Provider of Goods/Services. This agreement needs to be stated in the Contract Amendment, because the Contract does not include the claim audit process to BPKP, so that any results of the claim audit by BPKP can bind both the User of Goods/Services and the Provider of Goods/Services. As the basis for binding a contract based on legal theory: Will Theory A contract has binding force because of the will of the parties who want the contract to be binding. The parties themselves are the ones who essentially express their will to bind themselves. The Bargain Theory The binding of a contract is based on the agreement of the parties. The agreement made by the parties includes what has been agreed upon by the parties. Claim Audit by BPKP (Financial and Development Supervisory Agenc. on Construction Contracts in BUMN . Equivalence Theory (Equivalent Theor. A contract is said to be binding if it gives rise to equal rights and obligations between the parties. Injurious-reliance Theory A contract is considered binding on the parties if the parties have agreed to all risks of loss that may arise in the future. And also the agreement to carry out the claim audit process to BPKP also does not conflict with the Principles of Contract Law: The principle of national legal sovereignty The existence of national law cannot be challenged. Every object, legal subject, legal act or event, including trade transactions stated in a contract, which occurs in the territory of a country, is absolutely subject to the national law. The principle of freedom of contract Giving the parties the freedom to determine with whom they will enter into a contract, determine the form of the contract, determine the contents of the contract and determine the manner and time of terminating the contract. This principle is the essential basis for the parties to be able to make a This principle allows the parties to design the contents of a contract that did not exist And this principle allows the parties to develop, innovate or create new forms of contracts that they want or agree to. However, there are limitations in contracting, namely: must not deviate from national law . acta privata jury publico derogare non possun. , must not violate public order and morality, must not violate the public interest. The principle of pacta sun servanda According to Black's Law Dictionary is: "Agreement must be kept, the rule that agreements and stipulations, those contained in treaties, must be observed". And according to Article 1338 of the Civil Code, "All agreements made legally apply as laws for those who make them. The principle of good faith The principle of good faith creates trust between the two parties in a business relationship, so that the creation of contracts, implementation of contracts and resolution of disputes can be realized. The principle of reciprocity That the parties to the contract must exercise their respective rights and obligations reciprocally. there is a right from one party, there is an obligation from the other party . ise vers. Based on the discussion above, conducting a claim audit process to BPKP can be done by agreement of the parties as long as it does not conflict with legal theory and legal principles. In the event that the results of the claim audit by BPKP differ from the results of the review by the User of Goods/Services or the Provider of Goods/Services, the parties must still agree to it as the claim audit by BPKP has been agreed upon and stated in the agreement. Auditing is a systematic process of objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence regarding assertions about economic activities and events, with the aim of determining the degree of correspondence between those assertions and established criteria, and communicating the results to interested (Mulyadi, 1. Another definition states that audit is the process of collecting and evaluating evidence about measurable information about an economic entity carried out by a competent and independent person to be able to determine and report the conformity of the information in question with the established Audit should be carried out by an independent and competent person. (Alvin A. Arens, 1. So the results of the claim audit by BPKP are very dependent on the available evidence which can be shown and explained by the Goods/Service Provider who makes a claim to the Goods/Service User regarding the conformity of the information on the claim that has been made. In addition, the integrity and competence of public sector auditors have a positive and significant effect on the quality of the audit results produced. This shows that the higher the integrity and competence possessed by public sector auditors when carrying out their professional audit assignments will encourage an increase in the quality of the audit results produced. (Badjuri, 2. The influence of auditor independence, professionalism and competence on the performance of BPKP auditors can be detailed as follows: International Journal of Law Policy and Governance Vol. 4 No. Auditor independence has a positive and significant influence on performance. This shows that the higher the level of independence of an auditor towards his/her organization, the better the audit performance he/she will perform. Auditor professionalism has a positive and significant effect on performance. This shows that the better and more effective the auditor's professionalism, the better the auditor's performance, so that indirectly it will also improve the overall performance of the organization. Auditor competence has a positive and significant effect on performance. This shows that the higher the level of auditor competence, the better the auditor's performance, so that indirectly the performance of the BPKP representative of Central Java province also increases. (Istiariani, 2. Regarding the claim audit process time by BPKP, this can be seen from the example of the Claim Audit case by BPKP Representative of East Java Province for Operational and Overhead Cost Compensation for PLTGU Grati Block i, whose project is owned by PT PLN (Perser. as follows: Oe Claim audit request was made on September 9, 2019 Oe Claim audit assignment letter dated October 16, 2019 Oe Minutes of discussion of claim audit results on April 3, 2020 Oe Claim Audit Result Report on April 13, 2020 The claim audit process above can be an illustration of the length of time of the claim audit process. course this cannot be a reference for the length of time of the claim audit process, because the claim audit process is influenced by several things, namely: the level of complexity of the existing claim, the amount of evidence, the speed of response from the parties, the number of members of the audit team and the number of claim audits being worked on by BPKP. However, the length of time can be a consideration whether this claim audit to BPKP needs to be carried out or not, or the settlement of this dispute is resolved in other ways such as: Alternative Dispute Resolution (Consultation. Negotiation. Mediation. Conciliation. Expert Assessmen. Arbitration, or through the Court. CONCLUSION The claim audit process by BPKP on construction contracts in BUMN can be carried out as long as it is agreed by the parties, namely the User of Goods/Services and the Provider of Goods/Services. The claim audit process by BPKP on construction contracts in BUMN is carried out to ensure the value of the claim from the Goods/Services Provider to the Goods/Services User, especially for claims related to additional costs that are quite large in value. The claim audit process by BPKP on construction contracts in BUMN can be seen as one way of resolving disputes through Expert Assessment as explained in Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution Article 6. The results of the claims audit by BPKP are influenced by the independence, professionalism and competence of the auditor. The length of time for the claim audit process is influenced by several factors, namely: the level of complexity of the existing claim, the amount of evidence, the speed of response from the parties, the number of members of the audit team and the number of claim audits being worked on by BPKP.
