Balikpapan, December 3, 2025 — The Institut Teknologi Kalimantan (ITK) held a State-Owned Asset (BMN) Write-Off Workshop as part of its efforts to enhance asset management capacity within the university. The event took place in the Auditorium of Building A, starting at 08:30 until completion. It was attended by the Vice Rector for Planning, Finance, and General Affairs, along with other ITK leaders and workshop participants from various units across ITK. The workshop also featured two speakers from the Balikpapan State Asset and Auction Service Office (KPKNL Balikpapan), namely Angga Adi Kusuma and M. Fajarudin.

The workshop commenced with opening remarks from the Vice Rector for Planning, Finance, and General Affairs, Ir. Khakim Ghozali, M.MT. In his address, he emphasized ITK’s commitment to continuously strengthening state asset governance that is transparent, accountable, and compliant with regulatory provisions.

The speakers delivered comprehensive material on the principles, processes, and technical provisions of BMN write-off, including the subjects and objects of write-off, reasons for write-off such as severe damage, misalignment with organizational needs, and force majeure conditions. Participants also received explanations regarding the relationship between BMN write-off and other stages in the asset management cycle, as well as the decision-making workflow for write-offs at both the User and Manager levels.

In addition to the write-off topics, the workshop also covered material on BMN transfer mechanisms, including sales, exchange, grants, and government capital participation. These explanations provided participants with an extensive overview of various asset optimization mechanisms applicable to government institutions, including state universities like ITK.

After the material presentation, the event continued with an interactive discussion session moderated by Dini Septiantoro. Participants actively raised questions regarding real cases occurring in their respective units, such as severely damaged assets, missing items, and handling laboratory equipment that is no longer functional.

The speakers provided technical clarifications and addressed several procedural challenges commonly encountered in the field. This session served as a valuable opportunity for participants to gain practical insights and align their understanding regarding the implementation of BMN write-off.

The workshop is expected to support ITK in improving the quality of BMN governance, from planning and administration to asset data updating. At the end of the event, participants expressed their appreciation for the speakers’ presence and the chance to enhance their understanding of proper, accurate, and integrity-based state asset management.
