Abstract

This article considers the failure of the Indonesian government to eradicate corruption by reflecting on reports from media, anti-corruption agencies, scholarly work and government institutions. Despite significant attention focusing on reducing public sector corruption, there has been a marked increase in reports of corruption. The article illustrates the rise of a new form of public sector corruption through the manipulation of audit opinions. This study contributes to the international debate around the ineffectiveness of large-scale auditing reforms in the public sector.
