One of the main elements in corruption is the loss of state finances. It results in confusion impacting law enforcement officials' performance in eradicating corruption. In Indonesia, the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) is an institution authorized to assess state financial losses. In practice, the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) is another institution with similar power. This study analyzed which institutions have the more appropriate power in determining state financial losses in corruption. Using legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches, this study showed that the BPK is an institution granted the constitutional power to examine state finances' management and responsibility, asserting its more legitimate institution to handle the power to assess the financial losses. Consequently, the BPK is the only state institution that can determine state financial losses. At the same time, the BPKP is only authorized to assess or audit the calculation of state financial losses as an indication of irregularities detrimental to state finances. This study concluded that only the BPK can assess and determine state financial losses used in examining the alleged corruption before the court. KEYWORDS: Institutional Powers, Financial Audit Institution, Corruption.

<p><em>The In Absentia trial is regulated in Article 38 number 1 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended to Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Corruption. The handling of corruption cases sometimes has obstacles in the disclosure of cases, bearing in mind that not a few cases are not revealed and the perpetrators cannot be brought before the court. The purpose of this research is to find out the judiciary in absentia as an effort to recover state assets in corruption. The type of research used is normative legal research. The results showed that theoretically the trial in absentia gave birth to two different views, allowing for the achievement of the legal substance and prohibiting for reasons of violating human rights. However, in the case of the implementation of the trial in absentia, it can be done so as not to violate the defendant's human rights, if the formal requirements have been met. The eradication of corruption does not only talk about the handling or examination of the defendant in front of the trial, but the state through law enforcement tools to save or restore state financial losses through mechanisms both criminal and civil.</em></p>

The absence of provisions regulating the substitution of criminal fines in the KUP Law, raises legal uncertainty for law enforcement officials, especially prosecutors in executing court decisions. Considering the recovery of state financial losses that can be resolved by the consistency of court decisions, so the provisions in the KUP Law must meet the legal principles in criminal fines in criminal taxation acts. By not clearly stipulated the substitution of criminal fines in the KUP Law raises legal uncertainty. While substituting criminal fines in the KUP Law is only in the form of imprisonment. In practice, there are several forms of court rulings, there are substituting criminal fines with imprisonment, substituting criminal fines with confiscation of assets then auctioned to pay underpayment taxes, substituting criminal fines with confiscation of assets then auctioned to pay underpayment taxes if the convicted person does not have property that is adequate then replaced with imprisonment. The formulation of the legal issues in this study are: (1) the philosophy of substituting criminal fines in criminal acts in the taxation field, (2) Characteristics of substitution of criminal fines in criminal acts in the taxation field.

Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan bertujuan untuk mengetahui peranan justice collaborator dalam pengungkapan suatu kasus tindak pidana; untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaturan perlindungan hukum terhadap justice collaborator. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif, dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan beberapa contoh kasus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa  kehadiran seorang justice collaborator dalam mengungkap tindak pidana korupsi sangat membantu dalam proses persidangan atau penjatuhan hukuman kepada terdakwa, sehingga secara tidak langsung memudahkan para aparat penegak hukum. Perlindungan yang diterapkan pada Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 2014 dan SEMA No. 04 Tahun 2011 belum memberikan kesan positif dalam hal pemberian perlindungan fisik dan hukum, penanganan secara khusus, dan penghargaan kepada justice collaborator. Namun dalam hal perlindungan hukum yang diberikan kepada justice collaborator dianggap belum signifikan terhadap pemberian reward dan punishment.This research was conducted with the aim of: 1) To determine the role of justice collaborators in disclosing a criminal case; 2) To find out how to regulate legal protection against justice collaborator. This type of research is normative legal research, with a legal approach and several case examples. The results of this research show that: 1) the presence of a very justice collaborator in uncovering criminal acts of corruption is very helpful in the trial process or sentencing of the accused, thus indirectly facilitating law enforcement officials. 2) protection applied to Law Number 31 of 2014 and SEMA No. 04 of 2011 has not given a positive impression in terms of providing physical and legal protection, special handling, and appreciation to justice collaborator.

State financial loss is one of the elements of the criminal act of corruption in Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 of Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crime. The formulation of the element of detrimental to state finances in the two articles at the level of evidence still raises various obstacles because it is an obscure norm and is multi-interpretative in nature. The results of the research show that proving that the element of detrimental to state finances in the criminal act of corruption is still understood as a formal crime so that the proof is sufficient by fulfilling the act and there is no need for consequences, whether potential loss of state finances or actual loss, the perpetrator can be convicted. After the Constitutional Court through its decision Number 25/PUU-XIV/2016 stated that the word "can" in Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 is unconstitutional and has fundamentally changed the qualification of corruption to become a material crime, but in its application there are different views of law enforcement officials in proving that the element is detrimental to state finances, giving rise to legal uncertainty. In the upcoming reform of the criminal law of corruption, a more appropriate model of proof is to use the concept of state financial loss in the sense of material crime. Through this concept, a new act can be seen as fulfilling the elements of a corruption crime on the condition that there must be an effect that the state loss is real and occurs (actual loss). The concept of proving state financial losses in a material sense ensures fair legal certainty. Keywords  : Reconstruction, Evidence, State Financial Losses, Corruption Crime.

Based on Article 169 paragraph (1) of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, it is stipulated that drivers and / or public goods transportation companies must comply with provisions regarding loading procedures, carrying capacity, vehicle dimensions, and road class. This research aims to explain law enforcement against violations of goods transportation vehicles in Pekanbaru City based on Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. The method used in this research is socio-legal research. The results showed that law enforcement against violations of goods transportation vehicles in Pekanbaru City hasn’t been optimal. Barriers from the side of law enforcement officials are the lack of cross-sectoral coordination between the Pekanbaru City Transportation Service and Pekanbaru Police Traffic, most of the freight vehicles passing through Pekanbaru City from night to early morning, and the lightness of criminal sanctions as regulated in Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. Efforts that can be made by the Pekanbaru City Transportation Service are to collaborate with the Pekanbaru Traffic Police, increase supervision of goods transportation vehicles, and propose that Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation be revised.
