Practical Cost Accounting and Integrity Training

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) conducted practical cost calculation and integrity training on the 12th for about 50 employees in charge of construction, service, and goods procurement to enhance job expertise and integrity.

This training was conducted through a realistic lecture by Ahn Hyung-wook, the audit officer in charge of contract review, and is expected to contribute to improving work capabilities and practical skills through hands-on practice in preparing cost calculation sheets using IT and case-based education, as well as to budget savings and establishing financial soundness.

In addition, Dongdaemun-gu continuously conducts integrity education for employees, including the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act, Public Finance Recovery Act, and changes in the 2020 Code of Conduct for Public Officials, as part of ongoing efforts to improve integrity.

As a result of these efforts, the district showed significant improvement in integrity by rising two grades in the external integrity evaluation to grade 2 in the 2019 Integrity Evaluation by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission compared to the previous year.

Hwang Jin-yeon, the audit officer who supervised the training, stated, “We expect that job training for employees responsible for tasks where financial leakage and corruption elements may occur, such as construction, service, and goods procurement, will help them develop expertise and handle their duties with integrity, greatly contributing to improving integrity.” He added, “We hope that they will continue to comply with laws and regulations and serve stakeholders and civil petitioners with a more friendly and sincere attitude.”

Along with this training, the district is carrying out various activities to strengthen integrity awareness and spread an integrity culture, such as operating an integrity club, solving integrity quizzes, publishing integrity newsletters, broadcasting integrity programs, and holding integrity content contests.
