1) Introduction

 Value for money auditing is a recent expansion in the scope of auditing. In the public sector, State Auditors were traditionally concerned with regularity of expenditure and compliance with laws, rules and regulations. They also reported to Parliament on the deficiencies in revenue collections and any wastage of public funds.

In the early 1970s, the role of state auditors began to change dramatically. Changes began in USA, Canada and in several European countries. The elected representatives of the people started demanding information on the efficacy and the effectiveness of public expenditure. They expressed dissatisfaction with the traditional role of audit which focussed merely on regularity and compliance aspects. They wanted to know value for money being achieved from the expenditure of public funds. They expected greater accountability from public officials in the management of public funds. The state auditors tried to respond to this challenge and started value for money auditing. The value for money auditing is also referred to as performance auditing, comprehensive auditing, management auditing, efficiency auditing, etc.

 2) Definition of Value for Money Auditing

 There is no universally accepted definition of value for money audit. The Canadian Comprehensive Auditing Foundation defines VFM auditing as

“A comprehensive audit is an examination that provides an objective and constructive assessment of the extent to which:

 • Financial, human and physical resources are managed with due regard to economy, efficiency and effectiveness; and

 • Accountability relationships are served.”

 The United States General Accounting Office Auditing Standard defines VFM as, “performance audits include economy and efficiency and program audits.

 (a) Economy and efficiency audits include determining;

 i. whether the entity is acquiring, protecting and using its resources (such as personnel, property and space) economically and efficiently,

 ii. the causes of inefficiencies or uneconomical practices, and

 iii. Whether the entity has complied with laws and regulations concerning matters of economy and efficiency.

 (b) Program audits include determining;

 i. The extent to which the desired results or benefits established by the legislature or other authorizing body are being achieved,

 ii. The effectiveness of the organization, programs, activities or function, and

 iii. Whether the entity has complied with laws and regulations applicable to the program.”

 The definition used by the Auditor General of Pakistan is “an independent appraisal of an audit entity to determine the extent to which resources were managed with due regard to economy, efficiency and effectiveness and in conformity with applicable regulations, rules and procedures.

While there are some differences in the definition of VFM auditing, it is clear from the above definitions that the core of value for money auditing is the framework of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

 2.1 Economy

 Economy may be defined as “minimizing the cost of resources used for an activity having regard to the appropriate quality”.

Economy relates to all types of resources such as physical, financial, human and information. The question of economy is relevant to the acquisition of resources. Auditors try to determine whether the resources have been acquired in the right amount, at the right place, and the right time, of right kind and at the right cost. This by itself is not very easy. It presumes that there are standards available to judge whether considerations of economy were kept in view in acquiring resources. One example of a standard for economy is to accept the lowest open bid for buying an asset. But it is not so simple. It is common knowledge that this is not a fool-proof method. Bid-rigging is a practice known in almost all countries. The bidders join hands to suppress genuine competition and thus fool the system of open bidding. Therefore, the crude standard of accepting the lowest bid may not be sufficient. In this situation when we seek economy in relation to quantity, quality, place, time and cost, more comprehensive standards are required to assess weather economy was observed in acquiring the resources.

 2.2 Efficiency

 Efficiency refers to the relationship of inputs and outputs. It is relevant to the use of resources. Examples of efficiency are: teacher-pupil ratio in a school and machine-hours to output ratio in a factory. An increase in output without a corresponding increase in input or getting the same output as before with a reduced input indicates an increase in efficiency.

Efficiency is usually a matter internal to the organization. Efficiency does not directly affect the activities of organization’s environment, external to it. For example, in the case of a hospital, efficiency measures may measure the utilization of hospital beds, operation theatres or use of drugs, etc. However, such measures may not directly affect the quality of care or the state of disease or health in the community which the hospital is serving.

Measuring efficiency presumes the existence of acceptable standards/criteria. It is often necessary for auditors to develop such standards/criteria if they do not exist. Therefore, auditors often have to work with the auditee management and other specialists to identify or develop efficiency standard/criteria. Even where standards/criteria exist auditors need to satisfy them that these standards/criteria continue to be relevant. Sometimes efficiency standards/criteria become outdated in changed circumstances but remain in use. For example, the standard of efficiency in an accounts office for processing payment claims may have been devised when computers were not in use. With the advent of computers, the time needed to process a payment claim may have undergone a change. The auditors need to remain vigilant to such changes before accepting the existing standards.

It is relatively easier to measure efficiency in cases where the inputs and outputs are of a repetitive or mechanical nature. We can devise standards for measuring efficiency in such situations. As compared to this, it is quite difficult to measure efficiency where the inputs and outputs are non-repetitive. For example, it is easier to determine the efficiency of a power house in producing electricity as compared to measuring the efficiency of a doctor who is examining patients, each of whom may be unique.

2.3 Effectiveness

Effectiveness has been defined as an ends oriented concept that measures the degree to which predetermined goals and objectives for a particular activity or program are achieved (the attainment of the right results from the usage of resources and organizational operations).

Of all the meanings attached to the word effectiveness, probably the most common is related to the achievement of goals. Different authors, with different value systems have their own conceptions of effectiveness, but what brings them near one another is goal accomplishment or performance in meeting objectives. This is how legislative auditors have generally viewed effectiveness for their own work. Although, making goal accomplishment central to effectiveness gives it a clear focus, the problems and implications remain very substantial. The literature on effectiveness contains many studies that raise issues surrounding this particular perspective. Among the observations on this aspect are the following:-

Goals are often ill-defined, complex, changing, and contradictory;

 • It is often unclear at what level or with respect to what units the attainment of goals should be measured;

 • More than one technology or strategy produces the same outcome;

 • Goal-based perspectives usually take into consideration the preferences of managers, not all constituencies; and

 • Goal-based definitions have failed to clarify distinctions between organizational effectiveness, managerial effectiveness and manager and subordinate behaviour and attitudes.

 The assessment of effectiveness is by far the most important contributor of an accountability regime and at the same time the most elusive. One reason may be that there is no single, high level, generally agreed- upon definition of effectiveness.

In daily conversation, being effective describes the capacity or the ability to achieve results. Often, it goes beyond this capacity and being effective means having reached one’s goals, to be successful. The word may also be used to emphasize the impact of one’s efforts or actions. Frequently, it merely describes that capability is actually in use, or that a law or a rule is in force.

In practice, when discussing organizations, the word effectiveness is typically modified by one of three terms: Program, operational and organizational.

 • Program effectiveness relates to the continuing relevance of a program, the attainment of its intended objectives, its impact, and its cost-effectiveness;

 • Operational effectiveness relates to the achievement of output targets, to the delivery systems for the goods and services produced and the cost-effectiveness of these systems;

 • Organizational effectiveness relates to the overall capability of the organization and the interactions among strategic planning, management structures and processes and human and financial resources all in relation to the mission and goals of the organization and the external environment.

 Some writers have refined the notion of effectiveness by making explicit the consideration of cost effectiveness, which is the attainment of the objectives at the least cost, at a lesser cost, or at least at a reasonable cost in relation to the value of the outcome. Some have also included intended and unintended results or outcome of a program as factors in the measurement of effectiveness. Others still, particularly program evaluators have included the assessment of the continued need for the program in their conception of effectiveness. They ask the question: are the reasons that gave rise to the program in the first place still valid today?

How effectiveness is viewed will depend on who is looking for it. Different views may be taken by the electorate, specific constituencies, customers, governing bodies, managers and so on. Each view has validity in its own context.

 2.3.1 Public Sector Reform

The public sector reform is moving towards results that matters to the citizens. In many countries progress have been made in moving in this direction.

In the case of managing for results and particular outcomes, a public officer’s control and supervision vary considerably in different situations. In some cases, a public officer may have significant control over outcomes. In other cases several officers may be given responsibility and authority for the management of resources to influence the achievement of intended outcomes.

The programs and projects managed by the Government are intended to provide certain outcomes.

 • Employment creation

• Healthier public

• Better standard of living

• Poverty alleviation

 Effective program/projects are those that make a difference in meeting these objectives. We can ascertain with some difficulties whether or not the above outcomes are occurring. But, it is more difficult to determine to what extent the specific program/project in question has made to the outcome.

How much of the success or failure can be attributed to the program/project. What has been the contribution made by the program/project? Despite measurement difficulty, attribution is a problem that cannot be ignored when trying to assess Government programs/projects. There are many other factors at play in addition to the impact of particular programs.

There are other Government actions or programs, social trends and economic factors can have impact on the outcomes. The Government and the public would like to know contribution to outcomes from a particular program. Without solving the measurement problem, it is difficult to demonstrate that a particular program is making a difference.

3) Selection of Projects/ Topics for VFM Audit

Governments spend money on several program and projects. It is important that the money is spent to achieve the desired objectives with emphasis on 3 E’s. (economy, efficiency and effectiveness). Public Officers are responsible for ensuring, programs and projects are managed in a proper manner. Auditors are responsible for providing independent assistance to Parliament whether value for money has been received. Auditors, due to limitations on resources cannot afford to audit all programs and projects. Therefore, selection of individual projects for audit is a key judgement that an auditor must make. The auditors should focus on those audits with maximum value added in terms of improved accountability, economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

It is useful to rank VFM Projects/Topics subjectively against the following selection factors.

 • Overall estimated audit impact

 • Financial materiality

 • Risk to good management

 • Significance of program to the activities of the entity

 • Previous audit coverage

 • Auditability

 The factors to be considered for selection of a VFM audit alone will not enable us to select a project. Source from which we can obtain information and data on different projects /topics with respect to the various factors are given below.

 • Budget speech of the Finance Minister

 • Accounts and Reports of Government Ministries and Departments

 • Media Reports

 • Earlier evaluation reports

 • Agreements with Donor Agencies

 • Reports of Parliamentary Committees

 4) Audit Objective and Scope

 The first step in planning of VFM audit is to define carefully the audit objectives. The statement of audit objectives should articulate what the audit is to accomplish.

The objective of VFM audit may be to express an opinion on economy, efficiency and effectiveness of management.

The auditor may set an objective of only reporting exceptions.

Audit objectives are generally expressed in terms of what questions the auditor is expected to answer.

Example – Results achieved

Report on exceptions

Focus on systems and procedures

Focus on results

 5) Audit Criteria

 Audit criteria are reasonable and attainable standards of performance against which economy, efficiency and effectiveness of activities can be assessed.

If audit criteria are not set, there will be no basis for comparison and consequently no basis for arriving audit findings, conclusions and recommendations.

In financial auditing, the auditors usually apply generally accepted auditing practices which evolve through practice and academic work.

VFM auditing attempts to evaluate vast varieties of activities and functions and therefore, there are no generally accepted criteria. VFM auditors, therefore, operate in more difficult terrain than the financial auditors.

 5.1 Types of audit criteria

 i.General criteria

 ii.Specific criteria

 General criteria

General criteria are broad statement of acceptable and reasonable performance. For example the procedures in an organization may be cumbersome to be effective. In this case generally accepted management practices can be adopted as audit criteria.

Specific criteria

Specific criteria are more closely related to an entity’s objectives, programs, systems and controls.

In highly specialized technical areas, auditors may require the assistance of technical experts. For technical projects this competence can be achieved through a team of auditors consisting of auditors and technical experts from different discipline.

In VFM auditing auditors access the performance of a Program/Project against pre-determined expectations of performance or criteria. In order to be acceptable criteria must have certain characteristics as reliability, objectivity, usefulness, understandability, comparability, appropriate and acceptable.

6) Audit Evidence

Audit evidence can be defined as information collected and used to support audit findings.

INTOSAI Auditing Standards and ASOSAI Performance Auditing Guidelines state that evidence should be:-

“Competent, relevant and sufficient to support the auditor’s judgement and the conclusions regarding the organization’s program, activity or function under audit”.

Competent Conforms to facts

Evidence from personal observation

Documentary evidence

Original documents

Relevance Relationship to the audit objectives

Sufficient Adequacy of evidence

The quality of evidence

The level of materiality

Audit evidences usually fall into four types.

 -Physical Evidence

-Testimonial Evidence

-Documentary Evidence

-Analytical Evidence.

There are two kinds of tax inspection techniques that are widely used by various countries, namely Net worth method and expenditure method.

NET WORTH METHOD

This method is an indirect method. The formula of this method uses the entire income tax payers as a means of proof. The formula of this method can be described as follows.
Suppose that net worth in the first year is X, then the net worth in the year X is the entire assets minus debts. The same is done for the second year. Further net worth the first year compared to the second year. This comparison will result in an increase in net worth, which should be equal to the taxable income for the second year. See examples of the following calculation:

First Year

Assets                                                  1. 000
Liabilities                                                200
Net worth                                               800

Second year

Assets                                                            3000
liabilities                                                         250
net worth                                                      2750
net worth first year                                     800
net worth increase in                                1950
plus nondeductible ekspenses             1000
minus nontaxable income                        400
Taxable income corrected                     2550
Taxable income reduced corrected   1250
Taxable unreported income in             1300

EXPENDITURE METHOD

as well as net worth method, expenditure method is also used to determine taxable income not reported. See examples of the following calculation:

Expenditure                                                       10.000
Total Nontaxable income                                    750
Adjusted Gross Income                                    9.250
Minus standard deduction                                  750
Minus exemptions                                                  500
Corrected taxable income                              8.000
Reported taxable income                                 3.000
Unreported taxable income                            5.000

Expenditure method is usually used for tax cases:
1. Taxpayers did not make the accounting
2. Taxpayers making bookkeeping but not perfect
3. Hide taxpayer accounts.
4. Taxpayers have no visible assets

when formalin banned as a food preservative because it is bad for health, it is necessary to find a breakthrough to get a replacement. The choice is liquid smoke. Liquid smoke obtained from burning coconut shell. These commodities are able to preserve fish, tofu, noodles, meatballs, chicken pieces and other food because it contains compounds acetate, butyrate and valerat well as anti-bacterial. This product is also useful as raw materials of traditional medicine, fertilizers, pesticides. In Indonesia, the production of liquid smoke as a business unit of coconut charcoal burning efforts. One thing that needs to be developed, to support the preservative-free foods that endanger humans.

The meeting of the parties or the COP 15 in Copenhagen, denmark, discussing the future of climate change. As a country with the second largest forest after Brazil, Indonesia should be able to benefit from this meeting.
International attention on Indonesia’s forests is very good. From 126.8 million hectares of forest, 23.3 million hectares are protected forests, 21.6 million ha of production forests is limited, and 14 million ha are production forest conversion.
During the last one five years, the government seeks to boost the development of the forest. Private investors and forest communities are encouraged to grow timber, such as: teak, sengon, mahogany, aloes. attractive mahogany wood processing industry.
Plantation development is absolutely a requirement, because a lot of negative campaign of pressure against Indonesia forestry products. Many of Indonesia products, ranging from plywood, pulp, paper, still face the international market pressures.
These pressures could destroy the forest industry in the country. Wood panel association Data Indonesia (APKINDO), the national plywood industry in 2009 lived 20 percent. The issue of illegal logging, illegal timber, and the high economic costs, making Indonesia the product competitiveness in the global market destroyed.

MARKET CHALLENGES
Although Indonesia forestry industry began using natural raw materials and plant forests in a balanced way, many other countries provide tariff barriers for products not accused of using indonesia.Indonesia cheaper raw materials because the use of timber land clearing results in the process of land preparation. Tougher enforcement along with the Lacey Act by act provides USA.Lacey severe sanctions against prakktek destruction. They are proven to be violating the law arrested and processed in the USA.

for that, the government was expected to draw on economic policy with the forest policy.lobying with other countries needs to be done.
until now, the new prince charles of English who take an active role to build Indonesia forests through forest restoration projects in jambi expectations. Prince charles drafting a formula to calculate the value of natural forests in jambi for later sold in the form of prince charles bond.company or emissions-producing countries in category of Annex I, like Japan and the USA are expected to buy securities as they contribute in reducing emissions production. Proceeds from sale of securities is then used to restore natural forests with natural vegetation so that the return becomes sustainable.
Prince charles promote efforts to support the restoration of the International world of natural forests in Jambi and South Sumatra are clear evidence of international alignments. they realized, the future of the world now in Indonesia.

University of Mataram (Unram) Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), immediately patented manufacturing technology Eaglewood Lombok pig findings Unram one of the researchers, the late Dr. Parman, former Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture.

“We’re not giving anything to the Malaysia cooperation is only normal. There’s nothing to worry about,” he said.

“Eaglewood/gaharu has great potential and is very easy-to-market. The price of a kilogram of the crop began to USD 5 million Eaglewood-Rp30 million, depending on its quality. It’s just a long harvest period of nine years,” he said.

One of the main problems in agricultural development is the weakness of capital support. The government have tried to overcome this problem by launching some credit programs for the agricultural sector. Many credit programs, those use fixed interest base, showed less satisfied result. In any cases even generate new problems such as the the greater farmer’s debt and also nonperformance credit. Based on that phenomena it is required the alternative financing schemes. Sharia scheme, can be choosen as the alternative financing model for supporting agricultural development. Different to the conventional credit, the sharia scheme is free of interest, profit loss sharing equity principle, and profit sharing will be executed in the end of transaction. This paper aim at introducing the sharia financing model and its prospect to be implemented in agricultural sectors. The result of study indicate that sharia scheme is prospective to strengthen the capital of agricultural sector. To support implementation of sharia finance in agricultural sector, the crucial factors are political will of policy maker and also intensive socialization related to sharia principle finance to public authority and society.

Cultivation of aloes consists of several stages of activity:
Species Selection

Aquilaria malaccensis, A. microcarpa and A. crassna is producing pig species of aloes with the smell of a very unpopular Middle Eastern societies, which have the highest prices.
Planting locations.
Eaglewood/gaharu be planted starting from the lowlands to the mountains with an altitude of 750 m above sea level.
Planting Pattern
Monoculture or mixed systems (intercropping or agroforestry)
Planting Distance
Spacing of 3 x 3 m (1000 trees / ha.), But can also be 2.5 x 3 m to 2.5 x 5 m. If aloe plants are planted on land that was overgrown with other plants, then the minimum distance of aloe plants 3 m from the plant.
Planting hole
Planting hole size is 40 x 40 x 40 cm. Holes had been dug up at least 1 week left, so that the air hole outside beraerasi. Then enter basic fertilizer, decayed sawdust mixture and compost in the ratio 3: 1 to reach the ¾ size of the hole. Then after a few weeks gaharu trees, ready for planting.
Planting
Planting seeds of aloes should be done at the beginning of the rainy season in the morning until 11:00 hours, and can proceed to the 4-hour evening.
Maintenance
Fertilization can be done at 3 months, but may also every 6 months to compost as much as 3 kg through under the canopy. The use of chemical fertilizers such as NPK and compound can also be added every 3 months with a low dose (5 g / plant) after 1-year-old plant, then the dose is increased according to the size of the plant stem. Aloe plant pests to note is the white louse which lives under the leaf surface, when the humid environmental conditions. Prevention is done by trimming and pruning shade trees to get sunlight followed by spraying of pesticides such as Tiodane, Decis, Reagent., Etc. Cleaning up weeds can be done once in 3 months or when deemed necessary.
Tree trimming done at age 3 to 5 years, by cutting the bottom branches and leaves 4 to 10 branches above. Crop tops trimmed and maintained enough about 5 m, making it easier for job gaharu inoculation.

Eaglewoodor gaharu is a pig that contains mastic resin. Pig produced by species of aloes tropical forest trees in Indonesia. Eaglewood/gaharu is a valuable commodity of high economic elite who used for industrial materials, medicines, perfumes, cosmetics, and incense or incense
for religious rituals. Aloe pig secondary metabolites which are formed as a response plant defense against harmful physical or infectious microorganisms. Various types of fungi reported symptoms associated with the formation of gaharu pig in the world. Some of these genera found in Indonesia, such as Acremonium, Botryodiplodia, Diplodia, Fusarium, Libertella, Papularia, Pythium, Rhinocladiella, Rhizoctonia, Scytalidium, Thielarilopsis and Trichoderma.
Some of gaharu/eaglewood producing plant species spread across parts of Indonesia such as Aquilaria malaccenciss and A. beccariana (Sumatra, Kalimantan), A. Microcarpa and A. Hirta (Sumatra), A. Andate (Papua), A. cumingiana (Kalimantan, Maluku), A Filarial and A. Secundana (Maluku), Ghrinops verstegii (Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, Sumba, North Sulawesi and West Papua), G. Mollucana (Island Buru and Halmahera), G. Decipiens (Central Sulawesi), G. Salicifolia (Utakwa and Public), G. Podocarpus

Macrophyllus (Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi, Papua), Aetoxylon sympelatum (West Kalimantan), Wikstroemia androsaemofolia (Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua), W. Polyntha (Borneo) wikstroemia tenuiramis (Sumatra, Kalimantan), and Excoccaria agalocba (Borneo,Java).
High demand and the increased circulation of aloes in the international market has pushed more intensive harvesting of gaharu tree, and aloe cultivation techniques have not fully mastered community, the potential data location / aloe plant development area is not yet available, and production facilities inokolum seeds and materials are also not enough available. Further impact plant population gaharu producing a fall. Gaharu-producing trees, special types of Aquilaria and Gyrinops, enter
in Appendix II of CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna) that limit the export of aloes taken from natural forests in a certain amount.
Policies and strategies undertaken for the preservation of gaharu-producing plants in Indonesia is by promoting aloe plants in various regions, resource development human, institutional development, financing, partnerships, and increase market competitiveness.
BIOTROP SEAMEO (The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization Regional Center for Tropical Biology) in Bogor is an institution that continually seeks to develop through a collection of aloes research and training and a series of seminars and workshops.
Some aspects are still in the research phase of the database arrangement of planting aloes in Indonesia, plus a selection of plants with conventional techniques and culture in vitro, selection superior species of fungi (some species of Acremonium sp) associated with the plant producing
aloes, testing the potential for producing aloe plants in vitro through the culture and in the field, and the multiplication of Acremonium sp. In addition, the study also was conducted plant diversity producing aloes and Acremonium sp in Indonesia with analysis fenotifik Random Aplicated
Polymorphic DNA. -
