Denpasar – The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at Udayana University underwent the Final Evaluation stage (Interview) for the Development of the Integrity Zone (ZI) towards a Corruption-Free Area (WBK) on Monday (August 25, 2025). The final evaluation was conducted online between the Faculty of Economics and Business and the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (Kemenpan RB).

The Dean and also Chair of the Integrity Zone Development at FEB Udayana University, Prof. Agoes Ganesha Rahyuda, S.E., MT., Ph.D., explained that the ZI development at FEB has been ongoing for five years.

It began in 2020, when FEB served as a pilot project for ZI development at Udayana University. Then in 2021, the ZI Development was launched at FEB Denpasar Campus. That year, an evaluation of the ZI development towards WBK was carried out by the Inspectorate General Team (TPI) of the Directorate General of Higher Education (Itjen Dikti).

A year later, in 2022, FEB was again proposed as a ZI work unit. In 2023, FEB received an internal award for ZI WBK/WBBM within the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology environment. Furthermore, in 2024, FEB earned the Silver Winner Award for the Integrity Zone in the State University with Public Service Agency (PTN BLU) category from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. Until 2025, FEB was once again proposed for ZI development towards WBK and is now entering the final evaluation stage (interview) by Kemenpan RB.

Prof. Agoes conveyed that the ZI development is implemented to create clean, transparent, accountable, inclusive, and efficient governance based on digitalization. Moreover, the ZI aims to realize optimal public services, increase public trust and academic reputation, support national and international accreditation, and respond to the demands of national bureaucratic reform.

Through cooperation and collaboration of the team throughout this long journey to realize the ZI, FEB has achieved various performance milestones, such as 10 study programs accredited as excellent/A and 2 study programs internationally accredited. FEB has also become a member of the international accreditation institution AACSB, which is a significant achievement for the institution. In addition, FEB’s partnerships have expanded considerably over the past three years.

This ZI development has provided various impacts for FEB. One of them is the Corruption Perception Index (IPAK) and Public Satisfaction Perception Index (IPKP) values, which have continued to improve over the past three years. FEB Udayana University has also become a benchmark and reference for several major universities in Java Island.
