The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission Provides 'Integrity Consulting' to 26 Public Institutions with Low Integrity Scores

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission announced on the 29th that it will provide customized improvement plans through "Integrity Consulting" to 26 public institutions that received a "poor" rating of grades 4 to 5 in last year's public institution integrity survey.

The Commission selects 10 excellent institutions in the integrity evaluation as "mentor institutions" and pairs them with the target group for consulting, conducting the consulting in a "group mentoring" method where the excellent institutions transfer know-how to the underperforming institutions.

Previously, 65 institutions applied for consulting, but the Commission selected 26 institutions as consulting targets considering the institutions' willingness to promote improvements.

The Commission conducts a comprehensive diagnosis of corruption vulnerabilities such as the target institutions' work procedures, organizational culture and practices, and the effectiveness of internal corruption control devices, then prepares customized integrity improvement measures for each institution.

This year, the plan is to focus consulting on recruitment corruption and collusive contract corruption involving stakeholders, with relevant field personnel, civic groups, and external experts participating in diagnosing problems and preparing improvement plans.
