Abstract

This article aims to explore the impact of reform implementation on the level of corruption in Indonesia through the application of good governance principles, particularly transparency and accountability. Therefore, documentary research was utilized for exploration. Data were obtained from International Transparency, a credible organization that assesses a country's corruption perception index. Additionally, to understand the implementation of transparency and accountability principles in Indonesia, I employed a literature review of previous studies. The analysis indicates that the bureaucratic reform agenda in Indonesia does not influence the reduction of corruption levels in the country. The actual impact may be more complex or unexpected. This can be seen from the consistent increase in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) both before and after the bureaucratic reform agenda. The lack of influence is attributed to the weak implementation of good governance principles, such as transparency and accountability.
