[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] The Korea Communications Agency (KCA) announced on the 6th that it will conduct a full-scale survey to check the management and execution status of the information and communication broadcasting projects worth 1.6 trillion won.


This survey will be conducted over two months from the 7th to October 30th, targeting 22 organizations carrying out a total of 178 projects under the '2020 Information and Communication Broadcasting Projects.'


To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the principle is to conduct joint online inspections with professional accounting firms using the Project Management System (PMS), and if necessary, switch to face-to-face investigations.


However, 30 supplementary budget projects in the digital new deal fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, as well as 4 projects subject to concentrated subsidy inspections, will be conducted through on-site face-to-face investigations while adhering to COVID-19 quarantine principles.


Jung Hangun, President of KCA, said, "The purpose of this survey is not only to ensure transparent execution of large-scale project funds but also to listen to and improve the difficulties faced by executing organizations." He added, "We will actively support the digital new deal projects to achieve tangible results."



Meanwhile, as the dedicated agency for information and communication broadcasting projects under the Ministry of Science and ICT, KCA is continuously making efforts to improve the PMS functions and manage projects centered on the needs of users.
