One of the duties and authorities of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) is to draw up regional regulations. To carry out this task, DPRD members will usually conduct comparative study activities to other regions. As a consequence, state finances are used to finance these activities. This research took place in the city of Cirebon, West Java. This research focuses on the effectiveness of comparative study activities carried out by the DPRD with the performance achievement target. Also, this research will answer whether comparative study activities have regulations that can limit the corrupt behaviour of DPRD members. This research uses descriptive research method. This study concludes that the implementation of work visits and comparative studies conducted by the Cirebon City DPRD in 2017 and 2018 in the framework of preparing the Cirebon City Regional Regulation is following the regulations. The regulation is based on the Standing Orders of Cirebon City DPRD members. However, the implementation of this comparative study has not been effective in supporting the improvement of the performance of DPRD thus it has the potential to cause acts of corruption.
