Otherwise, if the deviation is above Rp 50 million can be immediately processed by law. “Sesuai Standar operasional Prosedur (SOP) if irregularities are found Rp 50 million or less, we just tell them to return it. The most important thing is to synchronize the system in the regional government with the system in the village so that they can work together,” he said.

Many village heads have also been able to overcome problems in the field related to village funds,” ujar Plt Kepala Dinas Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dan Desa, It was Kustolani.
Zen explained, related to budget units, usually the village receives Rp 80 up to Rp 100 million, but the reality is that the village only gets Rp 60 up to Rp 70. This is based on budget assumptions set by the district.
