Expansion of Online Public Institution Corruption and Public Interest Reporting

Expansion and Revamp of 'Cheongnyeom Portal'
"Online Applications Available for Public Institutions Beyond Anti-Corruption Commission"

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chae-seok] From now on, it will be possible to submit online corruption and public interest reports to public institutions other than the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC) all at once.

On the 4th, the ACRC announced that the 'Integrity Portal' site has been expanded and reorganized.

The ACRC promoted the second phase of the National Integrity Information System construction project as part of the e-government support project. Through this, the Integrity Portal was expanded and reorganized to allow online corruption and public interest reporting to public institutions.

Going forward, reporters will be able to easily submit reports without distinguishing between the ACRC and public institutions. When applying for protection and compensation, they will be able to automatically input their public institution report information by querying it from the ACRC.

Previously, on the Integrity Portal, corruption and public interest reports and applications for reporter protection and compensation could only be submitted to the ACRC. To report corruption or public interest issues to public institutions, individuals had to visit each institution's website. Some institutions that did not provide online reporting services required submitting reports via visits or mail.

Also, when applying for protection and compensation to the ACRC regarding cases reported to public institutions, reporters had to manually enter their report information one by one.

The ACRC added 164 institutions (as of the 3rd), including central administrative agencies, local governments, and public service-related organizations, as reporting institutions on the Integrity Portal. They announced plans to integrate the reporting windows of about 300 public institutions by the first half of the year.

Han Sam-seok, Director of the Review and Protection Bureau at the ACRC, said, "We will actively strive to integrate online reporting windows of more public institutions so that reporters can more easily and conveniently submit corruption and public interest reports and apply for protection and compensation in one place."
