Enabling Compliance Confidence for a High-Growth India Indonesia Explosives JV

Client Profile:

A publicly listed Indian explosives manufacturing company operating in a strategic
joint venture with an Indonesian government entity, holding a monopoly in
industrial explosives across key sectors.

Challenges:

Rapid growth in Indonesia created compliance overload
Inability to manage multi-jurisdictional statutory obligations due to language and operational barriers
Complex reporting needs related to tax, licensing, and safety audits
Risk of non-compliance in a heavily regulated sector, with potential reputational and financial impact

Our Solution:

JCSS Indonesia was initially engaged to perform a Compliance Wellness Assessment—a health check across tax, payroll, regulatory, and statutory filings.

We implemented:

A comprehensive compliance calendar system aligned to Indonesian regulations and Ministry of Industry expectations
Quarterly internal audit programs covering factory operations, licensing, and finance functions
Localization of tax and statutory reporting (in Bahasa) with dual-language summaries for the Indian board
Full outsourcing of payroll compliance, PPh 21, VAT filings, LKPM, and sectoral returns, with built-in review controls
Direct representation with Indonesian authorities on behalf of the joint venture

Results Delivered:

Client now enjoys 100% on-time compliance reporting
Internal teams are freed up to focus entirely on production, safety, and growth strategy
Avoided potential penalties through early detection of gaps via internal audits
Strengthened trust with Indonesian government partners due to clean regulatory track record
JCSS Indonesia became the single-point partner for all compliance and audit services in the country
