Seongnam City to Undergo Gyeonggi-do Comprehensive Audit... October 24 to November 29

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will conduct a comprehensive audit of Seongnam City.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 23rd that it will carry out a comprehensive audit of Seongnam City from the 24th of this month through on-site investigations until November 29.

To protect the autonomy of cities and counties, Gyeonggi Province will focus its audit on delegated tasks stipulated by laws or funded by the national or provincial budget, and will only audit autonomous tasks if there is suspicion of illegality based on reports or media coverage.

Reports will be accepted through the newly revamped Audit Committee website and directly on-site. Reporters will be handled anonymously to ensure no disadvantages.

The subjects of reports include ▲ various inconveniences experienced by residents and illegal or improper acts by public officials ▲ corrupt acts by public officials ▲ fraudulent public finance claims and illegal operations. However, matters involving investigations or trials, private rights or privacy concerns, or those already audited or under audit by other agencies are excluded.

Additionally, materials received through various channels such as civil complaints and public interest reports will be actively utilized in the audit.

Gyeonggi Province plans to reduce penalties or show leniency to public officials who voluntarily report their own faults during the audit period. Minor mistakes made by public officials in the sincere performance of their duties for the public interest will also be boldly exempted from punishment.

Lee Seon-beom, Head of Audit Division 1 of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We will actively reflect residents' reports and opinions from resident auditors to protect residents' rights and interests, and by enhancing the credibility of audit dispositions and satisfaction of audited institutions, we will increase acceptance of audits so that residents can feel the effects of the audit."
