Summary
About me
I was born and raised in Aceh Tenggara, a regency in the southeast of Aceh. I attended MIN 1 Kutacane, a state Islamic primary school. At twelve, I left home and moved to North Sumatra to attend junior high school at SMP Al-Azhar Medan. I then went on to SMA Plus Al-Azhar Medan for senior high school, where I joined an accelerated program and finished in two years.
In September 2019 I started a three-year accounting diploma at Politeknik Keuangan Negara STAN, the Polytechnic of State Finance. I graduated in October 2022 and was posted to Inspektorat Aceh as an auditor, where I have worked since February 2023. That role makes me part of the Aceh Provincial Government’s internal audit function, known in Indonesia as the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP). Alongside my job, I am also working toward a bachelor’s degree in accounting at Universitas Terbuka.
Until now, people have only known my story from what I told them in person. Over time, what we hear fades, and that is simply how human memory works. Even so, I wanted a permanent address on the internet that doesn't depend on social media or anyone else's platform, somewhere anyone who has known me, or simply met me once, can come back to whenever they want to recall who I am. So in September 2026, I created this page. Going forward, I plan to write here about what I learn and the work I do, bit by bit, so you can follow where I go next.
This site takes its name from my own, Faizul Abrori, shortened to Fairi. In my free time I like to play games, and that is where I use the name. You are welcome to call me Fairi, or Faizul, Faiz, Zul, Abrori, Abror, Rori, or Ori, whichever feels most natural to you.
Focus
What I do
-
Reviews of financial statements and fiscal transfers
Reviewing regional government financial statements to provide limited assurance on how they are presented, testing how the Special Autonomy Fund and the Special Allocation Fund are spent and what outputs they deliver, and examining planning documents before the budget is executed.
-
Compliance and special-purpose audits
Testing whether regional government agencies comply with regulations in their work and spending, and examining how regional assets and regional revenue are managed.
-
Tools I build myself
It started with cleaning up actual spending data for audit sampling and grew into small applications that some of my colleagues are now piloting at the office.
History
Experience
My experience is grouped into six parts, from work to education. For assignments and training, only a selection is listed.
Work
Selected assignments
Since 2023 I have been involved in more than eighty assignments, and I have picked the twelve types that best represent my work. In every one of them I was a team member who worked with the data and prepared the working papers, not a decision-maker or team leader. The data and reports belong to the office, not to me, so what I can share is how the work is done.
Certification
Selected training
Organizations
Education
Work
Tools I have built
I built both on my own initiative to help with my work. They are in Indonesian and are not for sale.
-
PKPT
Oversight Planning and Monitoring
Drafting the annual oversight plan, recording the assignment letters, and tracking each assignment until its report number is issued.
-
RTP
Control Action Plan
Recording risk assessments and planned controls, then following them through until the controls are shown to work.
Writing
What I have written
These are method notes I publish myself, each with a DOI, so that anyone can cite, check, and challenge them. They are about how the work is done, not about audit findings. Most are in Indonesian for now. The English translations published so far are listed below, and all the Indonesian originals can be read in full on the Writing page.

Where I am heading
Improvements that feel like help to the people doing the work, not like more work.
It all started with a small frustration. Too often I saw simple questions that were expensive to answer. People wait days for a number that already exists, because the answer is scattered across different places and everyone who needs it has to ask someone else first. I do not call that waste, and no one is to blame. That is precisely where I see room to improve. If an answer is yours, you should be able to look it up yourself, whenever you need it.
I think we can all agree that people do not change overnight. Change that lasts grows from small steps taken every day. Change that is forced falls apart before it can become a habit worth keeping and passing on, and things slide back to where they were. So I started with small tools that leave the existing system as it is. They simply digitize the way the work is already done, rather than adding a separate new system that creates more work for others. They speed up routine paperwork without stripping away the substance of the job, meaning why the job exists and how the whole process fits together. People stay involved, and people make the decisions. That is the guardrail I build in.
To anyone who wants to improve things where they are, I have just one piece of advice. Do not try to smash through the wall. Systems that are already running almost always exist for a reason, and an outside system we are sure is better may not work in our setting. Fix the foundations first, one piece at a time, with small steps you can take today. And what matters most is not the step but the example. Improvement only spreads when people see it done and understand what it is for.
I used to think I needed a certain rank before I could fix anything. I was wrong. Every role has gaps that you can only see from that particular seat, and whoever sits there knows best where they are. Start with the small annoyance that seems trivial but keeps coming back. Today the fix may only make your own work lighter. Tomorrow it makes the work lighter for everyone who sits in that seat.
Next, I am looking for a different perspective. From the inside, you always miss something, and I do not want to have only one way of seeing. Wherever the path leads, I will hold it to the same standards of resilience, independence, and integrity.
I welcome invitations to do research and co-write academic papers on government, management, and public sector finance. I also enjoy sharing what I have learned at university forums or training programs, trading experiences with fellow government auditors, talking with students about their research, and answering emails from readers.
There are also things I will not do. I do not act as a go-between or pass complaints on to any agency, and I do not take on anything that touches my oversight work, including requests to supervise or advise an agency. Requests for research data or for circulating questionnaires at Inspektorat Aceh do not go through me either. Please send them through the office’s official channels. This page is a personal initiative and a personal channel. It does not speak for the institution I work for, and my independence as an auditor is not up for negotiation.
Contact
For research or writing invitations, requests to share my experience, or simply to say hello, email is the best way to reach me. I answer my messages myself.
