II. IMPLEMENTATION OF GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ON BANKS
In order to improve Bank performance, protect Stakeholder interests, and increase compliance with applicable laws and regulations and ethical values generally applicable in the banking industry, Banks are required to conduct business activities guided by the principles of Good Corporate Governance as regulated in POJK Corporate Governance for Commercial Banks. The implementation of Corporate Governance in the banking industry must always be based on 5 (five) basic principles of Good Corporate Governance in Banks as follows:
a. Transparency (transparency), namely openness in the decision-making process and openness in the disclosure and provision of relevant information that is easily accessible by Stakeholders. b. Accountability (accountability), namely clarity of function and the execution of responsibility.
c. Responsibility (responsibility), namely the alignment of management with applicable laws and regulations, ethical values, standards, principles, and practices.
d. Independence (independency), namely a state managed independently and professionally, free from conflicts of interest and influence or pressure from any party that is not in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, ethical values, standards, principles, and practices. e. Fairness (fairness), namely equality, balance, and justice in fulfilling the rights of Stakeholders arising from agreements, applicable laws and regulations, and ethical values, standards, principles, and practices.
Banks may apply other principles related to Good Corporate Governance in Banks, adjusted to the development of the banking industry and the Bank's needs in managing corporate governance at the Bank based on generally recognized standards and the Bank's values. Other principles that may be applied by Banks include, for example, the sustainability principle and the ethical behavior principle.
Banks must follow industry dynamics to encourage the implementation of Good Corporate Governance in Banks, including by ensuring that policies and guidelines for implementing corporate governance at the Bank are in line with the development of applicable laws and regulations and are based on generally applicable standards, ethical values, principles, and practices.
For BUS and BUK that have UUS, the implementation of Good Corporate Governance, including the implementation of Sharia corporate governance as regulated in POJK Sharia Corporate Governance for Sharia Commercial Banks and UUS and Circular Letters of the Financial Services Authority regarding the implementation of Sharia corporate governance for Sharia commercial banks and Sharia business units.
In order to ensure the implementation of 5 (five) basic principles of Good Corporate Governance as referred to in item 1, Banks must conduct periodic self-assessments that at least cover 16 (sixteen) assessment factors for the implementation of corporate governance, namely:
a. the execution of duties, responsibilities, and authority of the Board of Directors; b. the execution of duties, responsibilities, and authority of the Board of Commissioners;
c. the completeness and execution of committee duties;
d. the handling of conflicts of interest; https://jdih.ojk.go.id/
e. the application of the compliance function; f. the application of the internal audit function; g. the application of the external audit function; h. the application of risk management, including the internal control system;
i. the provision of remuneration;
j. the provision of funds to related parties and the provision of large funds; k. the integrity of reporting and information technology systems;
l. the Bank's strategic plan;
m. shareholder aspects; n. the application of fraud prevention strategies, including anti-bribery; o. the application of sustainable finance, including the application of social and environmental responsibility; and p. the application of corporate governance in KUB.
For BUS and BUK that have UUS, in addition to the 16 (sixteen) assessment factors for the implementation of corporate governance as referred to in item 5, 1 (one) additional assessment factor for the implementation of corporate governance is added, namely the execution of duties, responsibilities, and authority of the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS).
In conducting self-assessments, Banks need to pay attention to other information related to the implementation of the Bank's corporate governance outside the assessment factors for the implementation of corporate governance as referred to in items 5 and 6, such as problems arising as a result of remuneration policies at a Bank or internal disputes of the Bank that disrupt operations and/or the continuity of the Bank's business. As an example regarding remuneration, the determination of bonuses based on achieving targets at the end of the year with the determination of very high (ambitious) targets resulting in unhealthy practices by Bank management or employees in achieving those targets.
Assessments of the implementation of corporate governance are based on 5 (five) basic principles and at least cover the assessment factors for the implementation of corporate governance as referred to in items 5 and 6, grouped into 3 (three) aspects of corporate governance (governance), namely governance structure, governance process, and governance outcome, in accordance with the Financial Services Authority regulations regarding the assessment of the health level of Banks and UUS.
Banks apply the principle of Good Corporate Governance in every business activity at all levels or tiers of the organization, including shareholders, Board of Directors, Board of Commissioners, and DPS, down to operational-level employees. The business activities mentioned consist of Bank business activities, for example, in accordance with Financial Services Authority Regulations regarding the provision of commercial bank products, and other activities conducted by Banks, including the procurement of goods and/or services, employee recruitment processes, and/or the distribution of social and environmental responsibility funds.
In conducting business activities as referred to in item 9, Banks must have, evaluate, and update internal procedures regarding the implementation of Good Corporate Governance on each assessment factor for the implementation of corporate governance in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
https://jdih.ojk.go.id/
In the implementation of corporate governance, the existence of Independent Commissioners and Independent Parties is required to avoid conflicts of interest (conflict of interest) in the execution of duties at all levels or tiers of the Bank's organization, check and balance, and to protect Stakeholder interests, particularly fund owners and non-controlling shareholders. To support independence in the execution of these duties, regulations regarding the waiting period (cooling off) for parties who will become Independent Parties are necessary in accordance with Article 69 of POJK Corporate Governance for Commercial Banks.
Banks periodically conduct comprehensive self-assessments (self-assessment) regarding the adequacy of corporate governance implementation so that Banks can immediately determine an action plan, including corrective actions required in case there are still weaknesses in the implementation of corporate governance as an effort to improve and increase the quality of corporate governance implementation.
Banks submit reports on corporate governance implementation and publish them on the Bank's website, as an effort to apply the transparency principle as referred to in item II.1 letter a.
III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Banks determine in Bank regulations regarding the term of office of the Bank's Board of Directors, along with the organizational structure, division of duties of the Board of Directors, and the mechanism for replacement directors. Bank regulations consist of the articles of association, director charter, work guidelines, and other regulations recognized by the Bank.
Banks may also determine other conditions in fulfilling Board of Directors members, for example, when Board of Directors members whose term has expired have not been replaced by the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS), the concerned party may still execute the same authority until a replacement is determined by the GMS. The aforementioned other conditions are stated in the Bank's articles of association.
For branch offices of Banks located outside the country (KCBLN), the term of office of the Bank's Board of Directors may be fulfilled in the internal regulations of the KCBLN Headquarters regarding the appointment of KCBLN Directors, letters of decision or appointment from the KCBLN Headquarters and/or other documents that can be equated with appointment documents, which contain the term of office of the Directors.
The determination of the number and division of Board of Directors members is formulated by considering the Bank's business activities and the complexity of business activities, adjusted to the Bank's strategy and development plan.
Banks determine replacement directors (acting members of the Board of Directors or acting members) for each division of the Board of Directors by considering the functions and interests of each director as per applicable laws and regulations. The determination of replacement directors considers aspects of conflicts of interest that may occur in the decision-making process within their authority and the internal control system that divides risk management responsibility into three lines of defense (three line of defence).
https://jdih.ojk.go.id/
Replacement directors must be fulfilled from internal Bank parties, which can come from directors who are currently serving. In certain conditions as regulated in the Law regarding Limited Liability Companies, the Board of Commissioners may serve as replacement directors. The execution of duties by replacement directors carried out by the Board of Commissioners is guided by the implementation of Good Corporate Governance, including declarations of conflicts of interest made by the Board of Commissioners, while still paying attention to the authority of applicable laws and regulations.
Banks are not permitted to appoint replacement directors from parties outside the Bank and/or parties who have authority below the Board of Directors.
Banks may use replacement directors for a duty period of at most 6 (six) months and can be extended for a certain period based on an analysis of the Bank's needs, which has been approved by the Financial Services Authority by submitting a request letter containing, among other things:
a. reasons for extending the term of office of the replacement director; b. plans or estimated time required by the Bank to fill the director position; and
c. information on replacement director candidates (if already existing and in process in the committee that oversees the nomination function of the Bank).
The submission of requests regarding the extension of replacement directors is submitted by the Bank to the Financial Services Authority at most 1 (one) month before the end of the term of office of the concerned replacement director.
The letter is addressed to the Banking Supervision Department or the local Financial Services Authority Office according to the territory where the Bank's headquarters or KCBLN is located.
In the event that the Board of Directors consists of only 1 (one) director, the duties and responsibilities of the director overseeing the compliance function are executed by the head of the Bank's compliance work unit for at most 6 (six) months.
The President Director or Chief Executive Director must come from a party independent from the controlling shareholders of the Bank. The independence of the President Director or Chief Executive Director can be fulfilled if the concerned party does not have financial relations, management relations, ownership relations, and/or family relations with the controlling shareholders of the Bank.
a. What is meant by controlling shareholders are legal entities, individuals, and/or business groups in accordance with Financial Services Authority Regulations regarding the assessment of competence and propriety for key parties of financial service institutions. Included in the definition of controlling shareholders of Banks are shareholders of the Bank up to the ultimate controlling shareholders (PSPT/ultimate shareholders) determined by the Financial Services Authority based on the results of the assessment of competence and propriety (PKK) and/or based on Financial Services Authority administrative records in the case of determination before the relevant Financial Services Authority Regulation regarding PKK is issued. b. What is meant by having financial relations is in the event that a person receives income, financial assistance, and/or loans from the controlling shareholders of the Bank.
c. What is meant by having management relations is in the event that a person holds a position as a member of the Board of Directors, member of the Board of Commissioners, or Executive Officer at another company controlled by the controlling shareholders of the Bank, which ownership can be done directly or indirectly.
d. What is meant by having ownership relations is in the event that a person becomes:
a shareholder in the company of the controlling shareholders of the Bank; and/or
a shareholder of the Bank together with the controlling shareholders of the Bank.
Bank share ownership resulting from management shares option programs (MSOP) and/or employee share ownership programs (ESOP) which is not more than 5% (five percent) of the Bank's paid-up capital is not included in the aforementioned ownership relations. Share ownership of the Chief Executive Director or directors overseeing the compliance function resulting from management shares option programs (MSOP) and/or employee share ownership programs (ESOP) is not calculated in the assessment of the concerned party's independence as long as:
share ownership is a policy of the controlling shareholders and/or ultimate controlling shareholders of the Bank and is not an initiative of the Chief Executive Director or directors overseeing the compliance function;
share ownership is not for trading; and
the concerned party submits a statement letter that they always act independently while serving as Directors or even if they have shares of controlling shareholders and/or ultimate controlling shareholders of the Bank.
What is meant by share ownership not for trading is shares obtained from management shares option programs (MSOP) and/or employee share ownership programs (ESOP) that are not traded with the aim of obtaining repeated profits from the difference between sales and purchase prices (not for trading purposes). e. What is meant by having family relations is having family relations up to the second degree, both vertical and horizontal relations, including in-laws, sons/daughters-in-law, and siblings, so that what is meant by family includes:
biological/step/adopted parents;
biological/step/adopted siblings together with husbands or wives;
biological/step/adopted children;
biological/step/adopted grandparents;
biological/step/adopted grandchildren;
biological/step/adopted siblings of parents together with husbands or wives;

husbands or wives of biological/step/adopted children; and/or
grandparents of husbands or wives;
husbands or wives of biological/step/adopted grandchildren; and/or
biological/step/adopted siblings of husbands or wives together with husbands or wives.
In the event that the controlling shareholders of the Bank are legal entities, family relations between the President Director or Chief Executive Director and the controlling shareholders of the Bank are viewed from the family relations between a person and the controlling shareholders of the legal entity that is the controlling shareholders of the Bank.
To obtain approval from the Financial Services Authority in accordance with the Financial Services Authority regulations regarding the assessment of competence and propriety, the Chief Executive Director must, among other things, submit a letter of independence with an example format as shown in Appendix I, which is an integral part of this Circular Letter of the Financial Services Authority. The use of the aforementioned example format in its implementation can be adjusted to supervision needs. To ensure this independence, the Financial Services Authority may request other documents needed, for example, a statement letter from the PSP.
The dismissal or replacement of Board of Directors members before the term of office expires prioritizes the main interests of the Bank. Dismissal includes temporary dismissal.
Temporary dismissal of Board of Directors members is followed by restrictions on the authority of the temporarily dismissed Board of Directors in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The main interests of the Bank are viewed, among other things, from the continuity of business activities and business in line with the Bank's strategic plan. The temporary dismissal of the Bank's Board of Directors is executed in accordance with the authority of the Board of Commissioners as regulated in the Law regarding Limited Liability Companies.
The dismissal or replacement of the Chief Executive Director and/or directors overseeing the compliance function before the term of office expires, including temporary dismissal, must obtain approval from the Financial Services Authority before being decided in the GMS.
In the event that the dismissal or replacement of the Chief Executive Director and/or directors overseeing the compliance function before the term of office expires is due to undergoing the consequences of the final results of the re-assessment of key parties with a "fail" rating, the aforementioned is equated with the approval of dismissal or replacement from the Financial Services Authority.
For KCBLN, Banks can coordinate with the KCBLN Headquarters in the event that there are plans to replace the KCBLN Chief Executive Director and/or directors overseeing the compliance function by the KCBLN Headquarters before the term of office expires. Such replacement plans are submitted to the Financial Services Authority to obtain prior approval.
In the event of dismissal or replacement of the Chief Executive Director and/or directors overseeing the compliance function before the term of office expires, Banks submit requests to the Financial Services Authority at most 1 (one) month before the planned implementation of the GMS containing the agenda of the aforementioned dismissal or replacement.
Requests as referred to in item 12 can be submitted via letters or meetings accompanied by the submission of information and/or documents supporting the dismissal or replacement of the concerned party, including reasons or considerations for the dismissal or replacement along with supporting documents. Banks may also include profiles of replacement candidates deemed to meet the requirements for competence and propriety assessment.
Supporting documents include:
a. legal problems faced or the health condition of the concerned party that affects the Bank's financial condition; b. performance assessment results conducted by the Board of Commissioners that the concerned party is deemed not to support the development of the Bank's business activities and/or does not execute duties and responsibilities optimally;
c. negligence or fraud committed by the concerned party causing the Bank to suffer losses and/or disrupting the continuity of the Bank's business; and/or
d. failure to follow up on supervision results, findings, or audit results conducted by the Board of Commissioners, internal audit work units (SKAI), DPS, Financial Services Authority, or other parties.
In the event that requests are submitted via letters, the submission is addressed to the Banking Supervision Department or the local Financial Services Authority Office according to the territory where the Bank's headquarters or branch offices of Banks located outside the country are located.
Documents containing reasons for the dismissal or replacement of the Chief Executive Director and/or directors overseeing the compliance function as referred to in item 13 are formulated by the committee that oversees the nomination function and approved by the majority of the Bank's Board of Commissioners.
The Financial Services Authority conducts research on the feasibility of plans for the dismissal or replacement of the Chief Executive Director and/or directors overseeing the compliance function based on requests submitted by Banks and supervision data owned and other information, including supervision results both onsite or offsite.
In the event that the Financial Services Authority deems the plan feasible, the Financial Services Authority submits an approval letter to the Bank to approve the plan for dismissal or replacement, and the Bank can include the agenda for the dismissal or replacement of the Chief Executive Director and/or directors overseeing the compliance function in the GMS agenda accompanied by supervision recommendations (if any).
In the event that the Financial Services Authority deems the plan unfeasible, the Financial Services Authority submits a letter to the Bank stating that the plan for the dismissal or replacement of the Chief Executive Director and/or directors overseeing the compliance function is not approved, and the Bank is prohibited from scheduling
https://jdih.ojk.go.id/
termination or replacement of the relevant party in the agenda of the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS), accompanied by a supervisory recommendation (if any).
In the event that the Financial Services Authority (OJK) does not approve the plan to terminate or replace the President Director and/or Director overseeing compliance functions, but the Bank has already held a GMS for the termination or replacement of the relevant party before receiving the approval letter from the OJK, the Bank must hold a GMS again to cancel the termination or replacement of the President Director and/or Director overseeing compliance functions.
The resignation of the Board of Directors resulting in the number of Board members becoming less than 3 (three) is considered valid if it has been determined by the GMS, the appointment of new Board members has been carried out, and it has received approval from the Financial Services Authority in accordance with the Financial Services Authority Regulation regarding the assessment of competence and propriety for key parties of financial service institutions.
For Foreign Bank Branches (KCBLN), the provisions in paragraph 19 may be applied if it has been determined by the KCBLN Headquarters (or the relevant party in the organization of Headquarters/KCBLN) and the KCBLN has appointed new Board members.
The provisions referred to in paragraphs 19 and 20 are intended to prevent a shortage of Board positions (minimum 3 people) that could disrupt the Bank's operational activities.
In the event that the Bank's management structure still does not meet all applicable provisions regarding management, the Bank may fulfill the requirements gradually based on approval from the Financial Services Authority by submitting an action plan.
Example: The GMS on May 31, 2025, decided to terminate Mr. X as a Director of PT Bank Y, effective in June 2025, which is before Mr. X's term of office ends (Mr. X's term as Director of PT Bank Y is until June 2026).
Based on this, the Financial Services Authority has the authority to evaluate the GMS decision terminating Mr. X to assess whether the termination meets Article 10 paragraph (2) of the OJK Regulation on General Bank Corporate Governance. In the event that the Financial Services Authority assesses that the termination is not appropriate, the Financial Services Authority issues an educational letter to the Bank and/or orders the Bank to hold a GMS to cancel the termination of Mr. X.
a. among the Board at least 1 (one) time every month; b. between the Board and the Board of Commissioners at least 1 (one) time in 4 (four) months; and
c. between the Board and the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) at least 1 (one) time in 4 (four) months, for Islamic Commercial Banks (BUS) and Islamic Rural Banks (BUK) that have Sharia Business Units (UUS).

d. carrying out tasks as a substitute director; and/or e. holding positions in non-profit organizations or institutions, provided that it does not cause the relevant party to neglect the implementation of duties and responsibilities as a Board member.
The Board of Directors discloses to employees the Bank's strategic policies in the field of personnel. The strategic policies in the field of personnel include, among others, policies regarding recruitment systems, promotion systems, remuneration systems, and the Bank's plan to conduct efficiency through employee reduction. Disclosure regarding these policies must be carried out through channels known or easily accessible by employees.
The Board of Directors is prohibited from granting general power of attorney to other parties that results in the transfer of the Board's duties and functions as regulated in the OJK Regulation on General Bank Corporate Governance. Granting general power of attorney is the granting of power to 1 (one) or more employees or other persons that results in the transfer of the Board's duties, authority, and responsibilities entirely, i.e., without limitations on scope and time.
All Board decisions are taken in accordance with guidelines and working rules, which are binding and become the responsibility of all Board members. In the event of a difference of opinion (dissenting opinion), it must be clearly stated in the minutes of the Board of Directors meeting along with the reasons for the difference of opinion. Regarding this matter, copies of the Board of Directors meeting minutes signed by all attending Board members must be distributed to all Board members directly or electronically.

Foreign Bank Branches (KCBLN) designate parties to carry out supervisory functions performed by officials at regional offices, headquarters, or as needed, to carry out functions similar to the Board of Commissioners in supervising or supervising KCBLN activities in Indonesia.
Given that these officials are, among others, employees of regional or headquarters offices, the provisions regarding the term of office of Board of Commissioners members do not apply to the designated parties.
The supervisory function for KCBLN is entrusted to the policy of the KCBLN Headquarters, while still considering that the implementation of the supervisory function can be carried out effectively even if not domiciled in Indonesia.

c. An action plan and the implementation of the action plan, including completion timeframes and obstacles or hindrances to completion (if any).
The Bank shall submit the governance implementation report as referred to in item 2 to the Financial Services Authority as part of the annual financial publication report and financial performance information, with the submission procedure in accordance with the Financial Services Authority Regulations regarding bank reporting through the Financial Services Authority reporting system.
The Bank shall publish the governance implementation report containing information as referred to in item 2 letters a and b as part of the annual financial publication report and financial performance information in accordance with the Financial Services Authority Regulations regarding transparency and publication of bank reports.
The Financial Services Authority requests the Bank to revise the governance implementation report if, based on the evaluation conducted by the Financial Services Authority, the report does not match the Bank's actual condition. The revision of the governance implementation report shall be submitted completely to the Financial Services Authority and published on the Bank's website.
The Bank shall conduct a self-assessment of the implementation of Good Corporate Governance periodically in accordance with the Bank's health level assessment period.
If necessary, the Bank shall conduct a review of the self-assessment of governance implementation in accordance with the Financial Services Authority Regulations regarding the assessment of the health level of commercial banks.
The self-assessment of the implementation of Good Corporate Governance shall be conducted using the self-assessment worksheet for governance implementation as shown in Appendix III, which is an integral part of this Financial Services Authority Circular.
For Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS), the assessment of the health level of BUS for the good corporate governance factor as regulated in the Financial Services Authority Regulations regarding the assessment of the health level of Sharia commercial banks and Sharia business units shall refer to the self-assessment worksheet for governance implementation as shown in Appendix III, which is an integral part of this Financial Services Authority Circular.
In conducting the self-assessment as referred to in item 2 letter b, the Bank must first understand the purpose of the governance implementation assessment, which covers 3 (three) governance aspects, namely governance structure, governance process, and governance outcome, as well as criteria or indicators for each assessment factor.
The self-assessment of governance implementation shall be conducted by formulating an analysis of the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation of Good Corporate Governance principles, which is documented in the self-assessment worksheet for governance implementation, with the following steps:
a. collecting relevant data and information to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation of Good Corporate Governance principles, such as management data, ownership data, business group structure, Board of Directors meeting minutes, Board of Commissioners meeting minutes, DPS meeting minutes, committee meeting minutes and reports, including annual reports, special reports from directors overseeing compliance functions, reports related to the duties of the Internal Audit Supervisory Committee (SKAI), public accountant reports especially regarding comments on the reliability of the Bank's internal control system, reports on the results of the self-assessment of the Bank's health level or RBBR, RBB reports, and RBB realization reports, Board of Commissioners reports, DPS supervision result reports, and other reports related to the implementation of Good Corporate Governance principles. b. assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation of Good Corporate Governance principles comprehensively and structurally across the three governance aspects, namely governance structure, governance process, and governance outcome, while considering the principle of significance or materiality.
c. concluding positive factors and negative factors for each governance aspect.
In concluding the positive and negative factors of the three governance aspects, the following matters shall be considered, among others:
a. The assessment must focus on the substance of governance implementation and not merely on the fulfillment of formal procedural (normative) requirements.
In assessing governance implementation, it is also necessary to consider, among others, whether governance policies and procedures have been implemented well.
Thus, in conducting the assessment of governance implementation, the Bank should not only answer questions with "yes" or "no," but must disclose the substance of the Bank's answers.
Example: when assessing the fulfillment of the completeness of organs in the Bank's organizational structure, it is also necessary to evaluate whether those organs have functioned as they should. b. The assessment of governance structure, governance process, and governance outcome is an integrated, comprehensive, and structured assessment series, so that the conclusion of the governance outcome reflects the extent to which the governance process and adequate support from the governance structure have been applied, which needs to be tested and proven further. Example: there is a problem in the governance structure, such as the absence of a director overseeing the compliance function. The absence of a director overseeing the compliance function results in a weakness in the governance process in implementing the Bank's compliance function, namely the absence of preventive actions against policies and/or Board of Directors decisions in the credit or financing field that deviate from Financial Services Authority regulations. Furthermore, the weakness in the governance process impacts the governance outcome in the form of violations of the maximum credit granting limit (BMPK) or maximum fund disbursement limit (BMPD).
c. The assessment of governance outcome includes not only qualitative aspects but also quantitative aspects, including:
Based on the self-assessment worksheet for governance implementation, the Bank shall make a general conclusion of the self-assessment results of governance implementation and determine the Governance Factor Ranking by referring to the Governance Factor Ranking Matrix as shown in Appendix II, which is an integral part of this Financial Services Authority Circular.
In conducting the assessment of governance implementation, the Bank must consider the assessment of the quality of risk management implementation in the context of assessing the Bank's risk profile, given that the governance factor generally has a correlation with the quality of risk management implementation. Generally, the implementation of Good Corporate Governance will ensure good risk management as reflected in the assessment of the quality of risk management implementation.
Subsequently, the Bank shall prepare the self-assessment report on governance implementation as shown in Appendix IV, which is an integral part of this Financial Services Authority Circular, which shall include at least:
a. governance factor ranking and ranking definitions; and b. ...
b. analysis of governance factors, which consists of:
The self-assessment report on the implementation of governance is signed by the Bank's Board of Directors.
The Bank submits the self-assessment report on the implementation of the Bank's governance, both individually and on a consolidated basis, to the Financial Services Authority as set forth in Appendix IV, accompanied by the self-assessment working papers on the implementation of governance as set forth in Appendix III, simultaneously with the submission of the self-assessment results of the Bank's health level.
The Bank submits the self-assessment report on the implementation of governance with a scope in accordance with this Financial Services Authority Circular for the first time for the December 2025 position.
The Financial Services Authority conducts an assessment or evaluation of the self-assessment results of governance implementation submitted by the Bank. In the event there is a material difference between the Bank's self-assessment results of governance implementation, namely resulting in a different governance factor rank compared to the assessment or evaluation results conducted by the Financial Services Authority, the Bank must revise the self-assessment results of governance implementation.
In the event the governance factor rank results by the Financial Services Authority are classified as worse, namely rank 3, rank 4, or rank 5, the Financial Services Authority may request the Bank to submit an action plan containing comprehensive and systematic improvement steps and the implementation timeline of the action plan.
If necessary, the Financial Services Authority may request the Bank to adjust the action plan that has been submitted by the Bank.
The action plan referred to in numbers 12 is submitted in accordance with the submission procedures in accordance with the Financial Services Authority Regulation regarding the assessment of the health level for Banks and Sharia Business Units. The Bank may submit the action plan earlier, simultaneously with the submission of the self-assessment report on the implementation of governance individually. The implementation report of the governance action plan, along with the completion time and obstacles or hindrances to the completion of the action plan (if any), is submitted to the Financial Services Authority by referring to the submission procedures for the implementation report of the action plan in accordance with the Financial Services Authority Regulation regarding the assessment of the health level for Banks and Sharia Business Units. https://jdih.ojk.go.id/
Documents related to the self-assessment of governance implementation, such as the self-assessment working papers on governance implementation and the self-assessment report on governance implementation, must be properly documented.
In the event there is a difference in the governance factor rank from the Bank's self-assessment of governance implementation in the governance implementation report with the results of the governance implementation assessment by the Financial Services Authority, the Bank must revise the governance implementation report related to the Bank's self-assessment results of governance implementation. The revision of the governance implementation report:
a. is immediately submitted in full to the Financial Services Authority and published on the Bank's website; and b. is immediately published in the Bank's public financial report in the nearest period, at least covering the governance factor rank accompanied by an explanation of the rank definition.

Branch Offices of Banks Located Abroad (KCBLN) implement Good Governance at all levels or stages of the organization.
The implementation of the functions of the Board of Commissioners and the formation of committees are adjusted to the organizational structure applicable at the KCBLN and its headquarters.
In the event the organization of the KCBLN and its headquarters does not have the function of the Board of Commissioners and committees, or has the function of the Board of Commissioners and committees but does not yet comply with the provisions in accordance with the POJK on General Bank Governance, the Financial Services Authority is authorized to request adjustments to the organizational structure of the KCBLN to ensure the implementation of Good Governance in accordance with the POJK on General Bank Governance provisions.
XXII. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF GOVERNANCE FACTOR ASSESSMENT
The Bank conducts a self-assessment of the Bank's health level using a risk-based approach or RBBR, both individually and on a consolidated basis, conducted at least every semester for the end of June and end of December positions in accordance with the Financial Services Authority Regulation regarding the assessment of the health level for Banks and Sharia Business Units.
One of the factors in the assessment of the Bank's health level is the governance factor, including Sharia Governance for Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS) and Sharia Business Units (UUS). In this regard, the Bank conducts a self-assessment of the implementation of governance in accordance with the assessment period of the Bank's health level.
The assessment of governance factors is an assessment of the quality of the Bank's management in the implementation of the principles of Good Governance, taking into account the significance or materiality of a problem to the implementation of governance in the Bank on a bank-wide basis, in accordance with the scale, characteristics, and complexity of the Bank's business. In order to ensure the implementation of the 5 (five) basic principles of Good Governance as referred to in item II.1., the Bank conducts periodic self-assessments at least on the governance factor assessment factors as referred to in item II.5. and item II.6. and other information related to the Bank's governance implementation, as referred to in item II.7. Such self-assessment is conducted comprehensively and structurally integrated into 3 (three) aspects of governance, namely governance structure, governance process, and governance outcome, as a continuous process.
The assessment of governance structure aims to assess the adequacy of the Bank's governance structure and infrastructure so that the process of implementing the principles of Good Governance produces outcomes in accordance with the expectations of the Bank's Stakeholders.
Included in the Bank's governance structure and infrastructure are, among others, composition, criteria, planning documents, organizational structure, Bank policies and procedures, management information systems, and the main duties and functions of each organizational structure, or fulfillment of other requirements.
The assessment of governance process aims to assess the effectiveness of the process of implementing the principles of Good Governance supported by the adequacy of the Bank's governance structure and infrastructure so as to produce outcomes in accordance with the expectations of the Bank's Stakeholders.
The assessment of governance outcome aims to assess the quality of outcomes that meet the expectations of the Bank's Stakeholders, which are the results of the process of implementing the principles of Good Governance and supported by the adequacy of the Bank's governance structure and infrastructure.
Included in the outcome covers qualitative aspects and quantitative aspects, among others:
a. adequacy of report transparency; b. compliance with statutory regulations;
c. consumer protection;
d. objectivity in conducting assessment or audit; e. Bank performance such as profitability, efficiency, and capitalization; and/or f. increase or decrease in compliance with regulations, compliance with Sharia Principles for BUS and BUKs that have UUS, and resolution of problems faced by the Bank, such as fraud, BMPK or BMPD, and violations of regulations related to bank reports to the Financial Services Authority.
The results of the assessment of the three aspects of governance (governance) which at least cover the governance factor assessment factors as referred to in item II.5. and item II.6. and other information related to the Bank's governance implementation as referred to in item II.7., are conducted based on a comprehensive and structured analysis framework established in the governance factor rank. The assessment of the three aspects of governance (governance) is a unity so that in the event one aspect is assessed as inadequate, weaknesses in one aspect can affect the governance factor rank.
For Banks that conduct control over subsidiaries, in conducting the assessment of governance implementation and establishing the governance factor rank on a consolidated basis, must pay attention to the following:
a. The establishment of subsidiaries to be consolidated refers to the provisions regarding the implementation of consolidated risk management for Banks that conduct control over subsidiaries. b. The governance factor assessment factors of the Bank individually can be used by the Bank when assessing governance on a consolidated basis. The governance factor assessment factors of the subsidiary used for the assessment of governance implementation on a consolidated basis are established by taking into account the scale, characteristics, and complexity of the subsidiary's business and supported by adequate data and information.
c. The establishment of the governance factor rank of the Bank on a consolidated basis is conducted by taking into account:
