This paper analyzes the dynamics of the Indonesian House of Representatives' (DPR RI) oversight function over the management of the State Budget (APBN) within a framework of checks and balances. As a legislative pillar, the DPR has a constitutional mandate to ensure the state budget is managed transparently and accountably. However, in practice, this oversight is often influenced by political constellations, government coalition relations in parliament, and technical limitations. This paper reviews the oversight mechanisms, existing obstacles, and the urgency of strengthening the oversight function to achieve democratic state financial governance. Keywords: Check and Balances, Indonesian House Representatives, Supervisory Function
