GOVERNANCE RISK PADA PROGRAM SEHATI: ANALISIS KECURANGAN DATA BAHAN BAKU DAN STRATEGI DETEKSI ANOMALI DALAM SISTEM BPJPH

Abstract

This study aims to analyze governance risks in the Free Halal Certification Program (SEHATI), specifically related to fraudulent practices involving raw material data manipulation in the self-declaration scheme, and to examine anomaly detection strategies within the monitoring system implemented by the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH). The SEHATI program, designed to expand access to halal certification for micro and small businesses, has the potential for moral hazard due to the self-declaration mechanism, which relies on the honesty of business actors. Method: The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with halal product process (PPH) facilitators and business actors, as well as analysis of documents and regulations related to the SIHALAL application-based submission system. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically using a governance risk and fraud risk assessment framework. Results and Discussion: The research results indicate that governance risk gaps emerge at the raw material verification stage, supporting document validation, and limited data integration between systems. Raw material data manipulation practices are carried out to meet free certification quotas or expedite the approval process. The BPJPH system, through SIHALAL, has an administrative control mechanism, but anomaly detection remains reactive and sampling-based. Mitigation strategies identified include strengthening risk-based verification, cross-ministerial/institutional database integration, enhancing digital audits, and strengthening the role of PPH facilitators as the first line of defense against fraud. Conclusion: This research confirms that the SEHATI program has strategic benefits in expanding halal certification, but requires strengthened digital governance and a more proactive anomaly detection system to minimize the risk of data fraud. Strengthening technology-based governance and actor integrity are key to the sustainability of the national halal certification program.
