This training was organized in response to the emphasis on transparency and accountability in subsidy management, aiming to resolve confusion and difficulties encountered by practitioners during their work processes and to prevent fraudulent subsidy claims in advance. The session was led by Kim Jaegon, CEO of the Government Accounting Research Institute, who possesses both specialized knowledge and hands-on experience in the field.

The program was designed to strengthen the competency of local subsidy officers in the execution and management of local subsidies. It covered practical, work-oriented topics such as: the basis and standards for subsidies, important considerations when organizing and determining the disbursement of subsidies, execution and settlement of subsidies, and key audit points. This structure allowed participants to immediately apply what they learned to their daily responsibilities, thereby enhancing their understanding.

In particular, the training received a positive response as it addressed frequently encountered challenges and questions from staff by transforming them into data and providing case-based solutions to prevent recurring errors.

Jeong Sungil, Director of the Department of Autonomous Administration, stated, “Because subsidy-related regulations are complex and demanding, frontline practitioners have likely felt a heavy workload. I hope this training will enhance the professionalism of public officials in practical roles and serve as an opportunity to reduce trial and error in the field, thereby fostering a more transparent and trustworthy administration.”
