GBSA Appoints Six Integrity Citizen Auditors on June 12 in Law, Labor, and Accounting Fields

The Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency has appointed six Integrity Citizen Auditors.

On June 12, the agency announced that it held the '6th Integrity Citizen Auditor Appointment Ceremony' in the Vision Room at its headquarters in Gwanggyo Techno Valley, Suwon, and newly appointed six external experts in the fields of law, labor, and accounting.

Since 2020, the agency has implemented the Integrity Citizen Auditor system to prevent corruption and promote transparent management across its major operations and projects.

This year, the number of auditors has been expanded from five to six, reflecting a commitment to further strengthen transparency and accountability as a public institution in Gyeonggi-do.

The newly appointed auditors are attorneys Hwang Saebyeol, Oh Jihyun, and Moon Youngki; labor attorneys Han Sunhee and Lee Donghyun; and accountant and university professor Song Bomi.

For the next year, these auditors will be responsible for recommending improvements to systems vulnerable to corruption in the agency’s major projects, participating in internal audits, identifying unreasonable practices, and suggesting operational improvements.

The auditor system also supports internal staff by enhancing the agency’s self-regulation capabilities through collaboration with external experts, and by providing concrete and practical advice in specialized areas such as law, labor, and accounting.

Kim Hyungon, President of the agency, stated, "The Integrity Citizen Auditor system has played a significant role in objectively reviewing the agency’s systems and overall operations," adding, "We will continue to make every effort to become a trustworthy and transparent institution for the residents of Gyeonggi-do."

In addition to the auditor activities, the agency operates various integrity policies. On June 9, it held the '2025 GBSA Employee Integrity Campaign,' during which all employees, including President Kim Hyungon, participated in an electronic integrity pledge, thereby also practicing paperless administration.

The agency has also achieved ISO37001 (Anti-Bribery Management System) international certification and has been selected as a top-tier institution for integrity in the Gyeonggi-do integrity assessment for five consecutive years, demonstrating tangible results in ethical and transparent management.
