Gyeonggi Province Conducts Comprehensive Audit of Gwangju and Gwacheon to Eliminate Illegal and Improper Administrative Conduct

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 14th that it will conduct a comprehensive audit of Gwangju City and Gwacheon City for nine days from the 18th to the 28th.

The audit is an institutional management comprehensive audit conducted on overall municipal and county operations in accordance with the '2019 Audit Plan,' and will include comprehensive inspections into ▲budget waste related to various policies ▲passive administration ▲complacent work processing practices ▲illegal and improper administrative conduct, and other matters.
In particular, the province plans to conduct focused inspections on various civil complaints and permit processing procedures directly related to residents' daily lives in areas such as social welfare, transportation, and urban development and construction. Should unreasonable regulations be discovered, the province plans to recommend institutional improvements to the government.

In addition, during the audit period, the province will operate an 'open audit system' and receive reports on acts that inconvenience or burden residents, civil servant misconduct, illegal and improper conduct, and other matters. Reports can be made by visiting the audit office at the city hall directly or through telephone, fax, email, and other means.

Choi In-soo, Auditor of the Province, said, "Through this audit, we plan to conduct focused inspections on illegal and improper passive administrative conduct of complacent, inert civil servants and cases of budget waste from reckless project implementation," and added, "Based on audit results, we will hold civil servants strictly accountable for intentional or gross negligent work processing."

Meanwhile, to prevent practices such as municipal and county civil servants and residents failing to actively address residents' grievances in consideration of the audit, the province operates a 'preliminary consultation audit system' that resolves questions from municipal and county civil servants and residents through advance inquiries.
