The Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) issued\u00a0Anti-Fraud Strategy Regulations for Commercial Banks as stipulated in OJK Regulation Number 39 \/ POJK.03 \/ 2019. This\u00a0regulation\u00a0states,\u00a0that the\u00a0OJK requires banks to develop and implement anti-fraud strategies effectively.<\/p>\n
“The strategy should fulfill at least\u00a0four\u00a0of the\u00a0pillars stipulated in the\u00a0OJK guidelines, these are prevention, detection, investigation, reporting, and sanctions, and monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up,” OJK wrote in article 3 paragraph 1.<\/p>\n
In the Regulatory Explanation section, the OJK contains the objectives and steps that need to be executed\u00a0by banks when\u00a0implementing these pillars.<\/p>\n
The pillar of prevention includes measures to reduce the potential risks of fraud that include anti-fraud awareness, identification of vulnerabilities, and policies regarding employees.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the pillar of detection, which involves steps to identify and find fraud in the bank’s business activities, includes whistleblowing policies and mechanisms, surprise examinations\u00a0and supervision systems, as well as other necessary steps.<\/p>\n
In short, the steps described in the two pillars, primarily the whistleblowing mechanism, are also included in the ISO 37001 standard for anti-bribery management. If banks have applied these standards in their policies, then this means that banks would have automatically applied some of the anti-fraud regulations set by the OJK.<\/p>\n
