[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] On the morning of the 12th, President Moon Jae-in presented the appointment letter to Choi Jae-hae, the new Chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection, at the Blue House.


Choi, a graduate of the 28th Administrative Examination, is an audit expert who has held key positions such as Audit Commissioner and Director of the Planning and Management Office within the Board of Audit and Inspection. This is the first time since its establishment in 1963 that an internal official has become the Chairman.



The Board of Audit and Inspection welcomed a new head five months after former Chairman Choi Jae-hyung resigned on June 28 due to his presidential election candidacy. The National Assembly held a plenary session on the 11th and passed the confirmation bill for the Chairman with 223 votes in favor, 23 against, and 6 abstentions.
