Pemeriksa

Pemeriksa is a noun in Indonesian that refers to a person who examines, inspects, or investigates. The term is derived from the verb memeriksa and is used in both formal and informal contexts to designate someone who performs inspection, verification, or examination.

In government and public administration, pemeriksa denotes officials tasked with auditing, inspecting, or verifying compliance with rules and standards. Common compound forms include pemeriksa pajak (tax inspector), pemeriksa bea cukai (customs inspector), and pemeriksa kelengkapan dokumen (document verifier). In the private sector, roles such as pemeriksa mutu (quality inspector) or pemeriksa keselamatan (safety inspector) are used to designate individuals responsible for quality control or safety checks. In legal or judicial settings, the term can appear for examiners who examine evidence or witnesses, though more specific titles are often preferred.

Duties typically associated with pemeriksa include inspecting processes, goods, or records for conformity with laws, standards, or contractual requirements; collecting evidence; documenting findings; and recommending corrective actions or enforcement steps. The exact powers and responsibilities of a pemeriksa vary by agency, sector, and jurisdiction, as well as by the specific field of inspection.

Related terms include memeriksa (to examine), pemeriksaan (the examination or inspection), and inspektur (inspector). The word pemeriksa is commonly used in official or formal contexts and as part of job titles, while everyday speech may favor more general terms such as inspector or auditor depending on the context.
