Diponegoro University’s Faculty of Law Holds Integrity Zone Socialization Towards a Corruption-Free Area

The Faculty of Law at Diponegoro University held a socialization event on the development of an Integrity Zone as part of the Faculty Working Meeting on Thursday, February 5, 2026. This event demonstrated its commitment to achieving clean, transparent, and accountable governance toward Corruption-Free Area (WBK) status. The academic community and educational staff attended the event within the Diponegoro University Faculty of Law.

The Vice Dean for Human Resources, Dr. Kadek Cahya Susila Wibawa, S.H., M.H., delivered the socialization. In his presentation, he emphasized the importance of understanding and commitment from all faculty members to the values ​​of integrity in the implementation of institutional governance.

He emphasized that the development of an Integrity Zone is not only about fulfilling administrative requirements but also about changing the mindset and work culture to be based on honesty, professionalism, accountability, and quality public service. This effort is a strategic step towards achieving the Corruption-Free Area (WBK) designation within the Diponegoro University (Undip) Faculty of Law.

One of the topics discussed was the management of conflicts of interest in accordance with Ministerial Regulation Number 17 of 2024 concerning Conflict of Interest Management. A conflict of interest is a situation in which a government official has a personal interest that can affect the neutrality and quality of decisions or actions taken. Therefore, managing conflicts of interest is a crucial step to prevent abuse of authority and strengthen internal oversight systems.

Furthermore, material was presented on gratuities and the importance of refusing or reporting any gifts that could create a conflict of interest. Gratuities can take the form of money, gifts, parcels, facilities, entertainment, or certain promises related to the office. The latest KPK regulations have adjusted the limit on gratuities that are still considered reasonable and not required to be reported. For wedding, traditional, or religious gifts, the reasonable limit has been increased to a maximum of IDR 1.5 million per giver. Meanwhile, gifts between colleagues in non-cash form are limited to a maximum of IDR 500,000 per giver, with a cumulative total of no more than IDR 1.5 million per year. The provisions regarding gifts from colleagues for farewells, retirements, or birthdays have been removed. With these adjusted limits, employees are expected to remain cautious about any gift-giving related to their positions and to understand their obligation to report gratuities in accordance with applicable regulations.

Other material relates to the Government Internal Control System (SPIP). SPIP is a control mechanism implemented to ensure that financial management and task execution are effective, efficient, and in compliance with laws and regulations. SPIP elements include the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and internal control monitoring.

Through this outreach activity, the Faculty of Law, Diponegoro University (Undip), hopes that all faculty members will deepen their understanding, awareness, and commitment to building a culture of integrity. This step is a crucial part of the process of developing an Integrity Zone within the Faculty of Law, Diponegoro University.
