Selected as an Excellent Internal Audit Organization by Receiving the Highest Grade A in the Board of Audit and Inspection Review... Gangseo-gu is the Only District among Seoul's Autonomous Districts

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Noh Hyun-song) was selected as an excellent internal audit organization in the '2020 Internal Audit Activity Evaluation' conducted by the Board of Audit and Inspection and received a commendation from the Chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection.

Among the district-level local governments nationwide, only two institutions, Gangseo-gu and Saha-gu in Busan, were selected as excellent internal audit organizations in this internal audit activity evaluation, with Gangseo-gu being the only one in Seoul.

The internal audit activity evaluation is a system in which the Board of Audit and Inspection annually evaluates the audit activities of internal audit organizations in public institutions based on the Public Audit Act.

This year, 637 institutions including central administrative agencies, local governments, and public enterprises were evaluated in four areas: audit infrastructure, audit activities, audit performance, and follow-up management, and were graded A, B, C, or D.

As a result, Gangseo-gu received the highest grade, A, by earning excellent scores across all audit areas, including systematic and substantial audit plan establishment, compliance with audit procedures, appropriateness of audit result handling, and achievements in identifying improvement requirements and best practices, thus being selected as an excellent internal audit organization.

In particular, the district was highly evaluated for strengthening routine audits to prevent wasteful budget execution in advance and for thorough follow-up management of internal and external audit results over the past three years.

Mayor Noh Hyun-song said, "This achievement is the result of all employees' efforts to operate the district government with integrity and fairness," and added, "We will continue to do our best to create a transparent and corruption-free clean Gangseo-gu through transparent audit activities."
