1. Kasus Bank Syariah Mandiri
Kasus kredit fiktif yang melibatkan 3 pegawai Bank Syariah Mandiri (Kepala
Cabang BSM Bogor M. Agustinus Masrie, Kepala Cabang Pembantu BSM Bogor
Chaerulli Hermawan, Accounting Officer BSM cabang pembantu Bogor John
Lopulisa) dan 1 orang debitur (Iyan Permana). Catatan untuk jabatan tersangka
John Lopulisa mungkin lebih tepat jika disebut account afficer bukan accounting
officer. Total kredit yang dicairkan adalah sebesar Rp102 Milyar dengan kerugian
mencapai Rp52 Milyar (beberapa media menyebutkan Rp59 Milyar). Modusnya
adalah melakukan pencairan kredit fiktif dengan menggunakan nama 197 debitur di
mana 113 debitur adalah fiktif. Pencairan kredit tersebut telah dimulai sejak tahun
2011. Lebih menarik lagi ketika membuka corporate website BSM dan menemukan
press release yang menyatakan bahwa laporan keuangan BSM memperoleh Annual
Report Award kategori perusahaan swasta (private), keuangan (finance) dan
tertutup (non-listed) selama 4 tahun berturut-turut dari 2009-2012. Penghargaan
bergengsi itu merupakan kerja samaOtoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), Bank Indonesia
(BI), Kementerian Keuangan, Direktorat Jendral Pajak, Indonesia Stock Exchange,
Ikatan Akuntan Indonesia (IAI) dan Komite Nasional Kebijakan Governance
(KNKG). Berita dapat dilihat di link ini
(http://www.syariahmandiri.co.id/2013/10/bsm-kembali-raih-annual-report-
award/).penulis juga telah mendownload laporan keuangan BSM tahun 2012,
laporan auditor independen menyatakan laporan keuangan mendapat opini wajar
tanpa pengecualian (WTP). Ini tentu menunjukkan kepada kita bahwa opini yang
bagus dari auditor independen tidak serta merta bebas fraud/kecurangan.

The continuous stream of company collapses, highly publicized corporate scandals
and the resulting Sarbanes-Oxley Act have dramatically changed the landscape of
corporate America. A sound internal control environment and effective corporate
governance process, which were once deemed to be best practices have now become
mandated into laws and are a necessity to restore investors' confidence. However, many
organizations are struggling with the most effective manner to set and to start the
process that will meet regulatory and investors' expectations.
Enter the Internal Auditor. Internal audit has often been underutilized as a
significant resource for sound corporate governance advice and invoking positive
change in an organization's control environment. A value-added internal audit function
offers a centralized and objective source of comprehensive information to management
regarding whether an organization's control environment and governance process is
operating effectively. This article suggests that internal audit can play an important role
in facilitating the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley provided that four key steps are
taken.
The Four Step Approach
The following four key steps should be considered to ensure that internal audit plays an
effective role.
Internal audit often walks a tightrope between balancing its objectivity and providing
value-added advisory guidance to management. Due to uncertainty and lack of solid
internal controls savvy, management might be inclined to delegate certain internal
control responsibilities to internal audit inappropriately.
Sarbanes-Oxley has further reiterated the importance of ensuring that senior
management does not shy away from their responsibility for establishing and operating
an effective internal control environment. Internal audit can review, document and
recommend changes in the control environment as well as evaluate whether the changes
made were effective. However, management remains accountable for performing and
ensuring the effectiveness of control activities and deciding when it is essential for the
control environment to be enhanced.
Under the COSO model, the role of internal audit falls in the "monitoring"
dimension. That is, internal audit is a monitoring control and it is inappropriate for
internal audit to act at any time to "become" the control. Thus, it is imperative that
internal audit continues to guard its objectivity by drawing a clear line between auditing
control processes and conducting and implementing them as a primary facet of the
control environment. If internal audit does not tread
carefully in this area, the accountability objective, as intended by Sarbanes-Oxley,
will be defeated. Internal audit should ensure that its scope of work and communication
and reporting mechanisms are clarified with management and other relevant parties and
approved by the Audit Committee. The internal audit charter can be a useful vehicle for
documenting internal audit's responsibilities as it relates to Sarbanes-Oxley.
Under Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404, the external auditor must attest to management's
assertions regarding the effectiveness of internal controls surrounding financial
reporting. Internal audit can add value by participating in management's meetings with
the external auditor to assist in identifying and meeting the internal control
documentation and testing expectations. In this area particularly, internal audit should
clarify and document their role thoroughly.
Internal audit's role also will be most effective when there is widespread
organizational support. Senior management and the Audit Committee must elevate
internal audit to a high level of importance and promote organizational awareness
accordingly. This can be facilitated by including internal audit in all key management
committees, requiring and enforcing timely management responses and action plans for
all significant internal audit findings and creating a reporting hierarchy and culture
whereby internal audit can present potential contentious issues without hesitation.
Internal audit typically has encountered challenges in developing and retaining solid
auditing capabilities, industry knowledge, information technology skill sets, and other
related expertise. Management buy-in on increasing head count has also proven
difficult.
With Sarbanes-Oxley, internal audit will require even more resources, including
those specifically attuned to financial reporting disclosures. Fortunately, this time
internal audit is likely to encounter strong commitment by management in ensuring
appropriate resources are allocated to evaluating the internal controls process. Thus,
internal audit will need to determine the additional effort required by Sarbanes-Oxley
responsibility and agree on these resource needs with management and the Audit
Committee. However, coverage of the non-financial reporting related reviews should
not be sacrificed. Furthermore, internal audit should consider accessing specialized skill
sets in Sarbanes-Oxley externally. Although most organizations are just beginning to get
a handle on Sarbanes-Oxley, others might be more ahead of the curve and can offer
tremendous insight.
DISSEMINATE INTERNAL CONTROLS KNOWLEDGE.
Internal audit's mission has always involved identifying risks and ensuring
that related controls exist and are operating effectively. Thus, senior management
can significantly leverage internal audit's knowledge and documentation of an
organization's risks, control weaknesses and outstanding recommendations for
improvement. Furthermore, internal audit can educate management about the
COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission)
framework, which is the most accepted framework for internal control and has
been incorporated into
U.S. auditing standards. Internal audit can provide internal controls and COSO training
to management and serve as a subject matter expert for the organization.
