Preparing for the 2026 Internal Quality Audit (AMI), the FISIPOL UGM Quality Assurance Unit Holds a Workshop

Yogyakarta, August 14, 2026—The Quality Assurance Unit of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIPOL) organized an awareness workshop regarding the 2026 Internal Quality Audit (AMI) for study programs. This event guides each department within the faculty in preparing for study program feasibility evaluations and reflects a systematic effort to ensure sustainable, high-quality educational service standards.

The primary objective of the AMI is to monitor and evaluate the quality of education within each study program. Ario Wicaksono, S.I.P., M.Si., Ph.D., an auditor from the Department of Management and Public Policy, explained the importance of this annual evaluation as a tool for accreditation readiness.

“The AMI focuses on monitoring study program quality. It takes place annually, and the data used is the same as that required for LAMSPAK accreditation. The hope is that by monitoring quality every year, programs will be better prepared when accreditation takes place,” Ario explained during his presentation.

The 2026 AMI implementation introduces a revised scheme; while previous audit processes involved auditors from across the university’s faculties, this year’s system utilizes a cross-departmental audit approach internal to FISIPOL. This policy ensures the maintenance of institutional governance objectivity and accountability, as auditors are prohibited from auditing their own departments.

The workshop was attended by Heads or Secretaries of Study Programs, study program administrators, and the AMI preparation team. To ensure each study program is ready to adapt to this system, the workshop featured a series of technical sessions. These included an introduction to the Study Program Self-Evaluation System (EDPS), a presentation on the EDPS matrix, an overview of the Study Program Performance Report (LKPS) documentation, and a concluding discussion session between participants and the AMI preparation team. The EDPS matrix and LKPS documents are the two key files that every department must prepare prior to the commencement of the audit process. The committee has also established the official timeline for the 2026 Internal Quality Audit (AMI). The process for departments to complete the Study Program Performance Report (LKPS) and the Bachelor’s Program Self-Evaluation Report (S1-EDPS) is open from August 18 to September 13, 2026. The cross-audit phase will take place between September 14 and October 16, 2026. All findings and evaluation results will subsequently be discussed during the Management Review Meeting scheduled for October 26–30, 2026. Field audits will be scheduled to take place concurrently, with a dedicated day for each department to review the evaluations of its Bachelor’s (S1), Master’s (S2), and Doctoral (S3) programs.

Ten auditors have confirmed their participation in this evaluation process: Prof. Dr. Siti Mutiah Setiawati, M.A. (HI); Dra. Siti Daulah Khoiriati, M.A. (HI); Evi Lina Sutrisno, S.Psi., M.A., Ph.D. (DPP); Dr. Silverius Djuni Prihatin, M.Si. (DPSDK); Ario Wicaksono, S.I.P., M.Si., Ph.D. (DMKP); Tapiheru Joash Elisha Stephen, S.I.P., M.A., Ph.D. (DPP); Nurhadi, S.Sos., M.Si., Ph.D. (DPSK); Desintha Dwi Asriani, S.Sos., M.A., Ph.D. (DSLG); Dr. Wisnu Martha Adiputra, S.I.P., M.Si.
