After Passing an Independent Evaluation, YBM BRILiaN Wins the 5-Star TOP GRC Awards 2026
JAKARTA – The Baitul Maal BRILiaN Foundation (YBM BRILiaN) won the TOP GRC Awards 2026 #5 Star (Excellence). At the same event, the Chairman of the YBM BRILiaN Board of Trustees, M. Dadang Permana KF, was also awarded the individual honor of “The Most Committed GRC Leader 2026.” This achievement is all the more meaningful because the award was earned after YBM BRILiaN underwent a series of administrative selection processes and independent judging by academics, leaders, and practitioners in the field of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) in Indonesia. This process not only assessed the existence of GRC documents or policies but also evaluated the extent to which governance, risk management, and compliance were truly established as a system and implemented in the organization’s activities.
Passing the Independent
Selection and Judging Process The TOP GRC Awards 2026 is one of the national recognition events that evaluates the implementation of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) across various companies and institutions in Indonesia. In this process, YBM BRILiaN first went through an administrative screening stage, which served as the initial step to ensure the organization’s completeness and readiness to undergo the GRC assessment. The next stage involved a judging process and in-depth substantive review by a panel of judges comprising academics, prominent figures, and practitioners with expertise and experience in the fields of governance, risk management, compliance, and sustainability.
Thus, the 5-Star (Excellence) rating earned by YBM BRILiaN is not merely the result of meeting administrative requirements, but rather recognition of the quality of the organization’s systems, infrastructure, implementation, and commitment to consistently practicing good corporate governance. The evaluation process covers various aspects, including the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Enterprise Risk Management, Compliance Management, internal controls, the role of technology, and the organization’s readiness to support sustainability.
Evaluated Not Only on “What Is in Place,” but “How It Is Implemented”
One of the key values of the 2026 TOP GRC Awards judging process is how organizations are evaluated based on the quality of their GRC implementation, not merely the existence of policies and tools. YBM BRILiaN presented how GRC principles are translated into the organization’s governance architecture, including the implementation of the Three Lines of Defense, the management of various risk categories, Key Risk Indicators (KRI), risk escalation mechanisms, compliance strengthening, and the role of internal audit as part of the organization’s control system.
This approach demonstrates that GRC at YBM BRILiaN is intended to be an integral part of the organization’s decision-making and management processes, rather than functioning as a separate administrative function detached from business activities and programs. In the context of an institution managing ZIS and DSKL funds, this implementation holds greater strategic significance. GRC serves as a tool to ensure that the community’s trust is managed transparently, accountably, prudently, and in compliance with regulations, while delivering sustainable impact to beneficiaries.
Recognition of Maturity in GRC Implementation & Leadership by Example
The TOP GRC Awards 2026 #5 Star (Excellence) designation represents YBM BRILiaN’s journey toward building an increasingly integrated governance framework. This award is not viewed as an end goal, but rather as external validation and a benchmark for YBM BRILiaN to continue improving the quality of its governance, risk management, and compliance. For YBM BRILiaN, excellent governance is not merely about earning titles or awards, but about how every organizational policy and decision can safeguard the trust placed in the organization, anticipate risks, ensure compliance, and ultimately generate greater benefits for beneficiaries and all stakeholders.
“The Most Committed GRC Leader” embodies exemplary leadership from the top. This commitment is also reflected in the individual award received by M. Dadang Permana KF as “The Most Committed GRC Leader 2026.” This award reinforces the message that the successful implementation of GRC does not depend solely on organizational systems and tools, but also requires a “tone from the top” and leadership by example in making governance, risk management, and compliance an integral part of the organizational culture. Leadership commitment is essential to ensure that GRC does not stop at policies, procedures, or documents, but truly becomes the way the organization thinks, makes decisions, manages risks, and is accountable for every mandate entrusted to it.
For YBM BRILiaN, the journey toward excellent governance will continue, with GRC serving as the foundation for upholding our mandate, strengthening the trust of donors, protecting beneficiaries, improving the quality of decision-making, and ensuring the sustainability of the organization’s social impact.
