Unqualified Opinion (WTP) is the audit opinion that will be issued if the financial statements are considered to provide information that is free from material misstatement. This opinion became the dream of all local governments and even become a major performance indicator for the Inspectorate area. Nevertheless, the acquisition of the WTP opinion is still found to be contradictory to the welfare conditions of the people. This study qualitatively seeks to examine the need for an examination of financial governance that also includes indicators of people’s welfare. The hermeneutic method is used to analyze the welfare audit discourse that needs to be carried out by BPK so that each rupiah of local government expenditure is beneficial for the improvement of people’s welfare as well as in harmony with the WTP opinion obtained. The results of the research indicate that BPK needs to include welfare audit in the process of local government financial audit from planning, implementation, to reporting activities that concretely support the achievement of public welfare. Thus, the philosophical management of state/ regional finances is used openly, responsibly, and as much as possible for the welfare of the people can be realized. From the internal side of local government, it is necessary to strengthen the internal control system, as well as strict supervision from the Inspectorate.

Abstrak
Opini Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian (WTP) adalah opini audit yang akan diterbitkan jika laporan keuangan pemerintah dianggap memberikan informasi yang bebas dari salah saji material. Opini ini menjadi idaman seluruh Pemerintah Daerah bahkan menjadi indikator kinerja utama bagi Inspektorat daerahnya. Namun demikian, perolehan opini WTP tersebut masih ditemukan berkontradiksi dengan kondisi kesejahteraan rakyat. Penelitian ini secara kualitatif berupaya mendalami perlunya pemeriksaan tata kelola keuangan yang juga mengikutsertakan indikator kesejahteraan rakyat.Metode hermeneutik digunakan untuk menganalisis wacana audit kesejahteraan yang perlu dilaksanakan oleh BPK agar setiap rupiah belanja pemerintah daerah bermanfaat bagi peningkatan kesejahteraan rakyat serta selaras dengan opini WTP yang diperoleh. Hasil penelitian menunjukan pemaknaan bahwa BPK perlu memasukkan audit kesejahteraan dalam proses pemeriksaan keuangan pemerintah daerah mulai dari kegiatan perencanaan, pelaksanaan, hingga pada pelaporan yang secara konkrit mendukung pencapaian kesejahteraan masyarakat. Dengan demikian, filosofis pengelolaan keuangan negara/ daerah dipergunakan secara terbuka, bertanggung jawab, dan sebesar-besarnya untuk kemakmuran rakyat dapat diwujudkan. Dari sisi internal pemerintah daerah, diperlukan penguatan atas sistem pengendalian internal, serta pengawasan yang ketat dari Inspektorat.
