Strong governance, cyber resilience and institutional trust are essential to Indonesia’s long-term economic expansion, according to two new reports launched by CPA Australia and its Indonesian partners.
The publications were developed alongside Indonesia’s financial regulator, Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), the United In Diversity (UID) Foundation, and the Institute of Indonesia Chartered Accountants, known as Ikatan Akuntan Indonesia (IAI).

Together, the reports draw on views from Indonesia’s regulatory, business and professional sectors about the key challenges and opportunities influencing the country’s business and digital finance landscape.
The first document, Cybersecurity and Governance for Digital Finance Assets and Transactions, was produced jointly by CPA Australia, OJK and the UID Foundation.
It reviews focus areas for enhancing governance structures and cyber defence within Indonesia’s digital assets space.
Its findings reflect input from a cross-sector focus group comprising delegates from government, financial institutions, technology companies and the professional sector.
This publication indicates that sound governance structures, clear regulatory parameters and cyber robustness are vital to maintaining a protected, reliable digital assets environment.
Participants stressed the necessity of strengthening operational accountability, emergency preparedness, and cooperation among regulatory bodies, market participants, educational institutions and industry groups as digital finance offerings develop.
The second report, Building Resilient Businesses Through Finance Leadership, was prepared through Indonesia-Australia Executive Business & Finance Dialogue 2026, organised by CPA Australia and IAI.
It evaluates methods for enterprises to cultivate resilience, executive capability and market confidence amid geopolitical uncertainty, technological change and workforce demands.
The document indicates that resilience serves increasingly as a commercial differentiator as businesses navigate geopolitical friction, shifting trade patterns and technological transformation.
The participants also highlighted the rising value of organisational agility, risk mitigation, staff competencies and the ethical integration of AI.
They also noted that credibility, transparency and dependable institutions represent prerequisites for attracting capital and supporting long-term economic expansion.
CPA Australia CEO Chris Freeland said: “Businesses are navigating significant technological and economic transformation.
“As new opportunities emerge, it is important that businesses, regulators and professional communities work together to maintain trust, resilience and strong governance that support sustainable growth.
“Through our collaborations with OJK, UID Foundation and IAI, CPA Australia is contributing practical insights and facilitating meaningful conversations on issues that matter to business, government and the accounting profession.”
Publication of the findings took place alongside the extension of CPA Australia’s pathway agreement with IAI.
