Yangcheon-gu to Cut 260,000 Sheets of Paper... Paperless Expenditure Administration to Begin Next Month

Full Transition of Expenditure Tasks to Electronic Approval System

Yangcheon District Office building.

Yangcheon-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced on the 31st that it will implement a "paperless expenditure administration" system electronically processing expenditure tasks starting August 1.

With the full-scale implementation of the "paperless expenditure administration," paper documents will no longer be printed. Instead, expenditures will be processed electronically through the local finance system (e-Hojo), an expenditure management computer system. The previous method of submitting and storing documents after stamping by the person in charge will be replaced by electronic files, eliminating the need for separate submissions.

The district expects to save approximately 260,000 sheets of paper annually through the paperless expenditure administration. Last year, the total number of expenditure transactions processed by the district office and health center was 26,069. The average paper usage per transaction for processing and document storage was 10 sheets, resulting in about 260,690 sheets of printed copy paper annually. Considering printer toner usage and storage space for supporting documents, the reduction in administrative costs is expected to be even greater.

Mayor Lee Gi-jae stated, "By eliminating paper printouts throughout the expenditure process, we expect to improve staff work efficiency and contribute to achieving carbon neutrality."
