Since 2022, the "Visiting Construction Site Integrity Inspector" program has been led by Pocheon City's audit department. This system involves direct visits to construction sites to inspect for corrupt practices among public officials involved in construction projects and to listen to difficulties faced on-site. It aims to prevent corruption at construction sites and enhance transparency.

During this inspection, the city closely checked whether the "Construction Equipment Rental Payment Guarantee" had been secured to prevent overdue payments for construction machinery and equipment. In addition, officials emphasized to those involved in the projects the importance of site management in preparation for heavy summer rains and urged them to undertake construction work safely.

The Pocheon City audit officer stated, "We will continue to conduct on-site inspection activities to realize clean and transparent construction administration," adding, "By operating effective integrity systems, we will build a city administration that earns the trust of our citizens."
