Incheon City Sees Threefold Increase in Pre-Consulting Audits... Playing a Key Role in Supporting 'Active Administration'

Incheon City Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City is strengthening the operation of the 'Pre-Consulting Audit System' to encourage proactive administration.

The pre-consulting audit is a system that supports proactive administration by public officials. When related regulations or guidelines are unclear, making interpretation difficult and hindering active work performance, the city audit office reviews the legality of the work.

As of the second quarter of this year, there have been 49 cases, approximately three times more than the 18 cases last year.

A representative case involved resolving corporate difficulties by postponing contract termination for companies using the industrial complex (Seoun Industrial Complex).

Considering that the government is promoting various support measures to help companies overcome the COVID-19 crisis, specific measures were prepared based on similar precedents and related legal grounds to enable companies facing temporary cash flow shortages to continue their business without leaving the industrial complex.

The city has installed banners at six locations, including city hall and business offices, and actively promotes the pre-consulting audit through card news when notifying contract review opinions to further activate the pre-consulting audit.

Additionally, a 'Visiting Pre-Consulting Audit Counseling Desk' was operated at nine comprehensive audit institutions such as Incheon Environmental Corporation and four institutions not subject to comprehensive audits such as Incheon Facilities Corporation.

Starting this year, incentives such as providing integrity mileage and rewarding meritorious employees have been significantly expanded to increase participation from military districts, districts, public corporations, and corporations.

Kim Insu, Incheon City Auditor, stated, "We will make greater efforts to activate the operation of the pre-consulting audit to create a competent public service and support employees who feel burdened by audits."
