Ulsan Office of Education Publishes Activity Report of Integrity Citizen Auditors

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has published the "Integrity Citizen Auditor Activity Report," which contains the results and reflections on the activities of 2022, marking the 5th year since the introduction of the Integrity Citizen Auditor System.

Last year, the Integrity Citizen Auditors participated in a total of 87 internal audits across 60 institutions, including 53 comprehensive audits, 3 financial audits, 22 performance audits, and 9 issue-specific audits. Based on their audit activity cases, they directly participated in everything from planning the publication to structuring and editing, ultimately completing the report.

This activity report includes contents such as requests to revitalize the meal monitoring team, which was suspended due to COVID-19, review of design services for asbestos ceiling replacement construction, verification of power harassment issues, inspection of cultural and arts classes for special education students, and demands for improvements to the solar power system status board.

The report also includes the results of performance audits conducted by an audit team composed of five Integrity Citizen Auditors and audit officials. The Integrity Citizen Auditors who participated in the audit team analyzed the operational direction of the Ulsan Mathematics Culture Center, its connectivity with the local community, facility accessibility, and space utilization status, and proposed improvement measures.

‘2022 Clean Citizen Auditor Activity Report’

The Ulsan Office of Education recommended that each institution implement the contents of the performance audit and internal audit activity report of the Integrity Citizen Auditors.

The Integrity Citizen Auditors consist of 15 citizens with expertise and extensive experience in education administration, including lawyers, labor attorneys, and architects. They directly participate in audits conducted by the Ulsan Office of Education, provide audit opinions, and perform tasks such as proposing improvements and corrections to unreasonable systems and practices.

The Office of Education plans to strengthen the system by increasing the number of Integrity Citizen Auditors to 30 by 2025.

Auditor Kim Kyung-hee said, "Integrity Citizen Auditors play an important role in enhancing the integrity of Ulsan education by participating in various audits," and added, "We will share the excellent activity cases of the Integrity Citizen Auditors with schools and institutions to use this as an opportunity to further improve and develop the system."
