General Background: Corruption remains a persistent systemic problem in Indonesia, prompting preventive strategies centered on transparency and accountability of public officials. Specific Background: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) administers the State Officials’ Wealth Report (LHKPN) as a preventive instrument; however, its implementation is weakened by low compliance, data inaccuracy, and the absence of stringent sanctions. Knowledge Gap: Although Indonesia has ratified the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), the Illicit Enrichment mechanism mandated therein has not been substantively integrated into the national legal framework to reinforce LHKPN. Aims: This study examines the prospects of incorporating the Illicit Enrichment concept into Indonesian regulations to strengthen LHKPN as an effective tool for corruption prevention. Results: The findings indicate that adopting Illicit Enrichment could enhance substantive verification of LHKPN, ensure accountability of asset disclosures, and provide a legal basis for follow-up actions against unexplained wealth. Novelty: This study offers a focused legal analysis linking Illicit Enrichment directly to the strengthening of LHKPN as a preventive mechanism rather than solely as a punitive tool. Implications: Regulating Illicit Enrichment in Indonesia would bolster the preventive mandate of the KPK, improve asset transparency, and contribute to more effective corruption deterrence through enhanced legal certainty and enforcement.
Highlights:
LHKPN remains a central preventive instrument but is weakened by low compliance and weak sanctions.
Illicit Enrichment offers a legal mechanism to address unexplained wealth and strengthen accountability.
Integrating Illicit Enrichment can enhance the KPK’s preventive and supervisory effectiveness.
