Jungbu Power Generation, First Public Institution to Establish Audit Work Quarantine Guidelines

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea Midland Power announced on the 2nd that it plans to establish and utilize a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) prevention measure specifically for internal audit tasks, becoming the first public institution to do so.

This comes as the government recently implemented strengthened quarantine measures, including the 'Social Distancing Level 2.5' in the Seoul metropolitan area.

The main contents of the 'Internal Audit Prevention Measures' established in July include the enactment of detailed rules for 'social distancing in daily life' related to audit tasks, designation of quarantine management officers and regulations on their duties, and guidance on cooperation from auditees.

Han Donghwan, Standing Audit Commissioner of Korea Midland Power, stated, "We should aim for a non-face-to-face audit method using smart devices and electronic documents," but added, "In areas such as safety where on-site investigation and diagnosis are necessary, audit activities focused on the field should be maximized so that the public can feel the detection of passive administration and management of attendance."

He said, "We have prepared prevention measures to ensure uninterrupted audit activities while complying with social distancing quarantine guidelines."
