Amid ongoing global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia continues to withstand current challenges and adversity.
Its huge domestic market, youthful population and vast natural resources offer attractive opportunities to investors, both domestic and foreign.
Over decades of its development journey, Indonesia has relied to a great extent on foreign investment, with Japan among the top investors.
Investors demand credibility, integrity and transparency in a country’s financial ecosystem. At the core of this ecosystem is the country’s capital market.
For many years, EY Indonesia has been playing a significant role in promoting trust and confidence in the country’s capital market through its audit and other assurance services that lend credibility to corporate financial reporting of domestic and multinational institutions, including Japanese companies.
Demonstrating its leadership in this sector, EY Indonesia audits 129 of the 226 public companies (57%) audited by the Big Four organizations.
Peter Surja, Country Managing Partner of EY in Indonesia says:
“We believe that high-quality audit builds confidence in the capital market, which in turn drives investment and fuels economic growth, creating long-term value for all stakeholders.”

“Committed to continuous improvement in this artificial intelligence (AI) era, EY Indonesia is transforming its audit methodology through ‘The Future of Audit. Now’ initiative. This modern audit approach embedding agentic AI in its audit tools and workflows will further strengthen audit quality, streamline processes, provide additional insights, drive confidence and improve audit experience for EY clients and people.”
As a professional services organization providing multidisciplinary services in the fields of Assurance, Tax, Strategy and Transactions, as well as Consulting, EY Indonesia sees AI as one of the most transformative forces shaping the future of business.
AI is a strategic priority across the global EY organization – not only in how the organization serves clients, but also in how the organization works, innovates and creates value.
AI has become a hot topic for business not only globally, but also in Indonesia. Recently, Indonesia and Japan, through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA, the Japanese government’s international development agency), signed a Technical Cooperation Project on AI talent development aimed at strengthening digital skills, supporting national development priorities and more.
Recognizing the huge presence of Japanese businesses operating in the country, EY Indonesia is supported by its Japanese Business Services (JBS) team composed of experienced Japanese professionals who work closely with local professionals.
JBS provides practical advice, insights and services to more than 260 Japanese groups of companies to address their local business requirements and global objectives.
As Indonesia, an emerging economy, pursues its national development agenda, EY Indonesia remains committed to improving trust and confidence in the capital market and supporting clients in their enterprise transformation journey. Through the responsible, secure and scalable deployment of advanced AI across its multidisciplinary service, EY Indonesia aims to create long-term value and drive positive change.
