Government Strategy in Empowering and Utilizing Regional Assets of the Riau Islands Province

This research is entitled ''Government Strategy in the Empowerment and Utilization of Regional Assets of the Riau Archipelago Province''. The purpose of this research is to find out what strategies are used by the government in empowering and utilizing regional assets in the Riau Archipelago Province. This is important for research, bearing in mind that the Republic of Indonesia Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK-RI) Representative for the Riau Islands Province always provides notes and recommendations regarding the not yet optimal utilization of regional assets in the Riau Archipelago Province. On the other hand, the existence of assets as regional wealth has not made a satisfactory contribution to the revenue of regional cash, especially in the Regional Original Revenue (PAD) budget post, whereas if these regional assets are managed optimally it is believed that they will contribute to PAD in significant amounts. The theory used in this study uses Robert H. Hayes & Steven C. Wheelwright (2008) who have classified 5 (five) main characteristics of the strategy, namely: Time, Impact. Concentration of Efforts; Decision Patterns and Pervasive Patterns The method used is qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the research show that the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of the Riau Archipelago Province has developed various strategies in managing regional assets by optimizing regional asset management in an integrated manner through data collection, recording and regulation of asset utilization. The real action taken as a policy direction is to optimize a series of integrated regional asset management processes starting from the asset planning process, asset utilization management, and regional asset administration. Meanwhile, the remaining problems are the lack of accuracy of asset data for each Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) as well as efforts to secure regional assets
