Korea National Oil Corporation Holds 2nd Integrity Citizen Auditor Meeting

On the 28th, the 2nd Integrity Citizen Auditor Meeting is underway at the Korea National Oil Corporation headquarters in Ulsan.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Duyul] Korea National Oil Corporation held a meeting of the Integrity Citizen Auditors on the 28th at its Ulsan headquarters to share the achievements of its integrity and anti-corruption initiatives and to discuss the direction for next year.

The Integrity Citizen Auditor system is a program in which citizens or experts appointed by public institutions participate in identifying and improving corruption-prone areas. When necessary, they can request revisions to internal regulations, demand internal audits, and even directly participate in audits.

Korea National Oil Corporation introduced the Integrity Citizen Auditor system in 2011 and currently operates it with three experts appointed by field.

At the meeting held that day, the corporation shared with the Integrity Citizen Auditors the achievements in institutional improvements and efforts to spread a culture of integrity in major areas in 2022.

The Integrity Citizen Auditors positively evaluated the implementation of rank-specific meetings requested during the first meeting and the systems implemented to enhance transparency in personnel affairs.

However, they urged continuous collection of opinions during the promotion of integrity and anti-corruption efforts, noting that the public's demand for integrity in the public sector is steadily increasing and that there are various voices for improving the integrity of internal members. They also emphasized the need to strengthen efforts to identify and improve corruption-prone areas.

Choi Hyung-joo, Standing Auditor of Korea National Oil Corporation, said, “Korea National Oil Corporation will strive to establish itself as an integrity public enterprise by accelerating the identification and improvement of corruption-prone areas with the attitude of 'Jumagapyeon' (spurring a galloping horse).”
