In the context of efforts to support the effectiveness and efficiency of state spending. UPN Veteran Jakarta held a Socialization of Input Cost Standards for 2021 which was carried out virtually with Fuad Achmad Bagraff, Head of the Field Cost Standards Section and Andryan Puji Prapbono, Presenter of Standard Cost Materials II Junior, a team from the Directorate General of Budget, Ministry of Finance.

"The socialization which was attended by all academics in the UPNVJ environment is expected to be able to provide direction and unify perceptions regarding the 2021 Input Fee Standards, especially during the current pandemic conditions, many significant adjustments and changes have been made," said UPNVJ Chancellor Erna Hernawati in her remarks at the Socialization of Input Fee Standards Year 2021, on Friday (15/01/21).

Standard Input Costs for the 2021 Fiscal Year are cost units in the form of unit prices, tariffs, and indexes that are determined to produce output component costs in the preparation of work plans and budgets of state ministries/agencies for the 2021 Fiscal Year. In the SBM 2021 there are 3 (three) policies, namely efficiency policies , new normal policies, and improvement of norms.

The 2021 SBM is regulated in the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Finance Regulation 119/2020 concerning Standard Input Costs for the 2021 Fiscal Year which regulates how SBM is linked to the budgeting structure. All Ministries/Institutions are required to use SBM in preparing RKA-KL. The conformity and correctness of the use of SBM is fully the responsibility of the PA/KPA, and APIP is required to carry out supervision and report to the minister/head of the institution with a copy to the Minister of Finance periodically. Meanwhile, supervision over the use of SBM is carried out by the functional supervisory apparatus of the respective Ministries/Institutions.

This two-way socialization provides an opportunity for all UPNVJ academics to ask questions directly to unify perceptions and understand everything that has not been understood from the three new policies that have been set by the Minister of Finance.
