The Indonesia Financial Services Authority used a public lecture at the State Polytechnic of Finance STAN to underline that stronger governance and integrity are essential to maintaining financial system stability as the financial services sector undergoes rapid digital transformation. In remarks by OJK Audit Board Chair Sophia Wattimena, the message was that the sector needs governance arrangements that support a resilient and transparent industry and sustain public trust as risks become more varied and complex. The speech framed digitalisation as both an opportunity and a source of higher risk complexity across technology, human resources, business processes and increasingly interconnected digital ecosystems. Sophia highlighted fraud and cyberattacks as among the main integrity challenges in the digital era, arguing that modern governance can no longer be reactive and should instead build resilience to prevent, detect, respond to and recover quickly from threats. She also said effective governance helps protect stakeholders, including customers, investors and consumers, while reinforcing accountability, transparency and compliance. The lecture formed part of OJK's ongoing Governance Roadshow, which is being held across Indonesia to raise understanding of good governance and integrity values, particularly among younger people.
