This casebook includes specific reportable examples related to corruption under the 'Act on the Prevention of Corruption and the Establishment and Management of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission,' such as public officials pursuing private interests, embezzlement of public institution budgets, violations of the public officials' code of conduct, including ▲unjust orders exercising official authority ▲private use of business promotion expenses and official vehicles ▲embezzlement of public institution budgets ▲false claims and improper receipt of personnel expenses ▲false claims for subsidies.

The province will distribute the casebook to 31 cities and counties and affiliated organizations, and post it on the 'Gyeonggi-do Public Interest Reporting Hotline website' and 'Gyeonggi-do e-book.'

During December, the province will also hold a quiz event through the official Gyeonggi-do Facebook page.
