Gyeonggi-do to Operate 'Pre-Consulting Audit Counseling Desk' for 28 Public Institutions for the First Time This Year

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will operate the ‘On-site Consultation Desk for Pre-Consulting Audits’ starting from the 16th of this month.

The On-site Consultation Desk for Pre-Consulting Audits was first initiated by Gyeonggi Province in 2017 to encourage proactive administration among city and county officials and to provide convenience for civil petitioners.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 3rd that starting from the 16th, it will operate the consultation desk by visiting 31 cities and counties and 28 provincial public institutions, beginning with Bucheon City, Gwangju City, and the Gyeonggi Content Agency, until the 23rd of next month. This is the first time the consultation desk will be operated by visiting provincial public institutions.

Through the on-site consultation desk, not only city and county officials and public institution employees but also civil petitioners who have applied for permits will be able to consult on their issues together with the responsible officials. Depending on the consultation content, minor issues will have solutions proposed on-site, while matters requiring in-depth review will be addressed by submitting a pre-consulting audit request, followed by legal advice and consultations with central government departments to seek solutions.

Civil petitioners wishing to use the visiting consultation desk can fill out the consultation application form related to permit applications, which is posted on the Gyeonggi Province Pre-Consulting Audit website or the respective city or county websites, and submit it to the audit department of the city or county.

Lee Hee-wan, the Chief Auditor of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "The regulations regarding pre-consulting audits have been elevated from rules to ordinances, strengthening the pre-consulting audit system. Through pre-consulting audits, frontline officials will be supported to carry out their duties proactively without concerns about disadvantages, enabling active administration."
