Achieving Compliance: Navigating KPPK Reporting for Corporate Foreign Debt

BASED ON THE ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE RELATED TO CORPORATE FOREIGN DEBT

A report on the Implementation of Prudential Principles (KPPK) based on the Attestation Procedure must be submitted no later than June 30, 2022. This deadline applies to entities using a financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2021. This deadline is following the Bank’s Circular Letter Indonesia No.17/3/DSta dated March 6, 2015, concerning Reporting on Activities of Prudential Principles in the Management of External Debt of Non-Bank Corporations. KPPK reporting obligations apply to non-bank PMA corporations and domestic entities.

The reported KPPK report must go through an Attestation Procedure which includes information and/or information that is the result of an assessment by an independent public accountant and has been corrected based on the Attestation Procedure. Bank Indonesia stipulates the Attestation Procedure referred to under the Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) attached to the regulation, which is carried out by an independent public accountant against the Quarter IV KPPK Report previously submitted (March 31, 2022).

Evolution of KPPK Reporting Obligations

KPPK reporting obligations began with the issuance of Bank Indonesia Regulation (PBI) No.16/21/PBI/2014 concerning the Application of Prudential Principles in the Management of External Debt of Non-Bank Corporations. Subsequently, on December 30, 2014, the implementing provisions in the form of BI Circular Letter (SE) No.16/24/DKEM concerning the Application of Prudential Principles in the Management of External Debt of Non-Bank Corporations were stipulated. Finally, the SE was changed to SE-BI No.18/6/DKEM dated April 22, 2016. The purpose of this regulation is to encourage non-bank corporations to exercise prudence in managing exchange rate risk, liquidity risk and excessive debt risk (overleverage) on External Debt (ULN).

Bank Indonesia’s Verification Process

Bank Indonesia may conduct check on the veracity of reports and/or corrections to reports submitted by the Reporting Entity. In conducting such research, Bank Indonesia may request explanations, evidence, notes, and/or supporting documents, with or without involving the relevant agencies. Bank Indonesia may also conduct a direct examination of the Entity’s management or request an explanation from the public accounting firm for the KPPK Report that has gone through the Attestation Procedure, and/or appoint another party to conduct research for Bank Indonesia.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Management of the Entity must provide evidence of books, records, documents, and explanations needed in the context of checking the truth of the report no later than 15 (fifteen) days from the date of issuance of the request letter. If the Entity does not provide evidence of books, records, documents and explanations within that period, then the report submitted is declared incorrect.
