Gyeonggi-do, Siheung and Gimpo Cities 'Comprehensive Audit'

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will conduct a comprehensive audit targeting Siheung City and Gimpo City. The audit for Siheung City will take place from the 19th of this month to the 3rd of next month, and for Gimpo City from the 19th to the 29th of this month.

This audit is a comprehensive institutional operation audit conducted on all administrative tasks in accordance with the '2020 Audit Plan.'

The main audit contents include ▲ illegal or improper administrative acts ▲ wasteful spending related to various city policies ▲ passive administration ▲ and negligent work handling practices.

The province will particularly focus on intensive inspections in areas directly related to residents' lives such as social welfare, transportation, urban architecture, environment, as well as various civil complaints and the process of handling permits and approvals.

However, amid the COVID-19 crisis, audits will be conducted in a way that does not disrupt response and on-site support for health centers and departments responsible for disaster basic income payments.

The province will also operate a 'public audit system' during the audit period.

The public audit system is a system that receives reports from residents regarding acts that cause inconvenience or burden to residents, public official corruption, illegal and improper acts, and so on.

Reports can be made by visiting the audit office in the city hall directly or via phone, fax, or email.

Cases involving investigations or trials, matters that may infringe on private rights or privacy, and matters that have been or are being audited by other institutions are excluded.

The province operates a 'pre-consulting audit system' that resolves questions from public officials and residents through prior inquiries to prevent behaviors such as failing to actively address residents' difficulties due to awareness of the audit.

Along with this, the province operates an 'active administration exemption system' that lowers the disciplinary level for public officials who make mistakes while actively performing their duties, and a 'special audit system' for public officials who engage in passive administration such as negligence, indifference, or dereliction of duty.
