This study aims to analyze the function of preventing corruption crimes carried out by the Assistant Inspector (Irban) for Investigation at the Jombang Regency Inspectorate. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with Inspectorate officials, document reviews, and observations of the supervision mechanisms applied in the field of investigation. The analysis was carried out using the theory of government supervision and the concept of good governance to evaluate the effectiveness of the corruption prevention function carried out by the Irban Investigation Division. The results of the study show that the Irban Investigation Division at the Jombang Regency Inspectorate has an important role in detecting potential corruption through investigative audits and monitoring of the implementation of local government. The prevention function is carried out through a series of activities, such as compliance audits, special checks on suspected irregularities, and recommendations for improving financial and administrative governance. In addition, coordination with law enforcement officials is also part of strategic efforts to identify and follow up on indications of corruption. However, this study also found several obstacles in the implementation of investigative supervision, such as limited human resources, lack of technological support in the supervision system, and resistance from supervised parties. These obstacles hinder the optimization of corruption prevention functions that should be able to run more effectively. Therefore, a strategy is needed to increase the capacity of supervisory apparatus, strengthen regulations, and optimize the use of information technology in the supervisory system. Thus, this study emphasizes that the function of preventing corruption through the supervision of the Inspectorate for Investigation at the Jombang Regency Inspectorate has been running, but it still needs to be strengthened in several aspects to be more effective. The implications of this study are expected to provide recommendations for local governments in improving supervisory mechanisms to create more accountable and transparent governance
