Administrative law cannot be separated from the use of state finance; therefore, it is possible for state administrators and the government to take actions that may violate legal norms and cause deviation in the use of state finances. In Indonesia, if the state and government officials violate administrative legal norms and cause state financial losses, they will be categorized as committing criminal acts of corruption. The occurrence of corruption is not only contrary to the criminal law norms, but it is also possible that it is contrary to the administrative law norms. This article discussed the legal issue on the parameters of criminal acts of corruption under the Administrative Law from Indonesian law perspective. This is a normative legal research which employs statute and conceptual approaches. It is noted that there are connections between the administrative law regime and the corruption criminal law regime in: (a) the use of the term “abuse of authority”; (b) the scoop of the concept of “abuse of authority”; (c) the address addressed by a norm or norm subject (normadressat) in “abuse of authority”; and (d) the use of authority for purposes other than the initial purposes.
