Establishment of Accounting System for Incheon Daycare Centers... Efficient and Systematic Management of Childcare Finances

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] An accounting management system will be introduced to daycare centers in the Incheon area.

On the 9th, Incheon City signed a business agreement with KB Kookmin Bank and the Incheon City Daycare Center Association for the "Establishment and Operation of a Daycare Center Accounting System," and plans to start operation from the 20th.

According to the agreement, these organizations will cooperate in operating the daycare center accounting system, user training, supporting daycare center accounting tasks, linking with the national subsidy system, and using a dedicated clean check card for daycare centers.

The accounting system is based on the accounting manual from the Ministry of Health and Welfare's childcare project guide and is automatically linked with the integrated childcare information system. This system allows basic income and expenditure-related financial transactions of daycare centers to be conducted via PC and mobile, and also enables management of children, staff, and supplies.

Among cities and provinces nationwide, this is the fourth establishment of a daycare center accounting system following Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Daegu.

Daycare center operators can use the accounting system to handle smart accounting tasks, and in the future, "paperless accounting processing" will be possible. Additionally, they can receive various benefits such as reduced costs for outsourced accounting services and refunds of accumulated funds related to card and bankbook usage.

Incheon City decided to introduce the daycare center accounting management system as a measure to enhance the public nature of childcare finances in the policy research project "Incheon City Daycare Center Financial Analysis Study" conducted in September last year, and has been preparing the project through a public contest process. Several meetings were held with the Daycare Center Association to gather opinions.

Choi Jang-hyuk, Deputy Mayor of Incheon City, stated, "With the introduction of the accounting system, we will establish a childcare support system based on trust and cooperation to improve the quality of childcare."
