Public Procurement Service Conducts Audit on 20 Trillion KRW Scale 'Government Agency Supplies'

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Public Procurement Service will conduct an audit to determine whether the management of goods in national institutions is being carried out appropriately.

On the 28th, the Public Procurement Service announced that it will conduct an audit on the management of goods worth 20 trillion won at 57 central government offices and other institutions.

This year, considering the COVID-19 situation, the audit will be conducted mainly online, with on-site audits conducted concurrently at 10 institutions.

The online audit method utilizes data from the goods management system to inspect the acquisition and utilization of goods, budget waste, and aims to enhance the systematic management and consistency of national goods.

In particular, this audit focuses on inducing national budget savings by discovering and sharing exemplary cases in goods management.

Lee Jae-seon, Director of the Public Supplies Bureau at the Public Procurement Service, said, “Through the audit, we plan to examine whether government goods are being properly managed at each institution,” adding, “Above all, this audit will not simply point out errors but will focus on discovering and sharing best practices so that each institution can use the national budget efficiently.”
