The administrative affairs audit is a core legislative activity through which the council, as the representative body of the residents, monitors and checks the administration of the executive branch. Through this audit, the council points out and demands corrections for administrative shortcomings, collects necessary data and information, and reflects these findings in future budget reviews and policy decisions.

Last year, the provincial council conducted the administrative affairs audit on 88 institutions, resulting in 633 requests and recommendations for correction. This year, the audit will also review the implementation and handling of those correction requests.

Park Seongman, Chairperson of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council, stated, "The administrative affairs audit is an important process through which the council, as a representative body, checks the executive branch and ensures that the will of the residents is reflected in administration." He added, "We will spare no effort to provide all necessary support so that the council members can be thoroughly prepared and conduct a rational and effective audit."
