ANALYSIS OF THE MECHANISM OF CREATING ASSIGNMENT LETTER (ST) AND PAYMENT OF OFFICIAL TRAVEL EXPENSES AT THE STATE ASSETS AND AUCTION SERVICE OFFICE (KPKNL) MALANG

Abstract

This study analyzes the mechanism of making and paying official travel expenses at the Kantor Pelayanan Kekayaan Negara dan Lelang (KPKNL) Malang (KPKNL) Malang, in accordance with applicable regulatory provisions. This study outlines the administrative process, starting from the submission of a Letter of Task (ST) to the disbursement of official travel expenses through a digitized system, such as the Official Travel Application (ALADIN). The main objective of this mechanism is to ensure compliance, cost control, and efficiency in the management of the official travel budget. Although a digitalized system has been implemented, several obstacles, such as sudden submissions and limited human resources, are still found. This report also reviews various documents and applications that support the efficiency and accountability of official travel procedures. The methods used to deal with these problems include policymaking, adding human resources, and prioritizing ST submissions based on travel dates. The results showed that the application of these methods helped KPKNL employees overcome obstacles in making STs and paying official travel expenses.
