Gapyeong County Receives Highest 'Grade A' in Board of Audit and Inspection's '2024 Self-Audit Activity Evaluation'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Gapyeong County announced on the 30th that it received the highest grade 'Grade A' in the Board of Audit and Inspection's '2024 Self-Audit Activity Evaluation.'

This is a record-high achievement, ranking 2nd among 82 counties nationwide to which Gapyeong County belongs.

The Board of Audit and Inspection comprehensively evaluates audit activities of central administrative agencies, local governments, and public institutions in accordance with the 'Public Audit Act,' and grants grades from A to D based on the performance of self-audit activities.

The county is interpreted to have received this favorable evaluation by strengthening the expertise of its self-audit body, the Audit Division, and providing active institutional support, making efforts to foster an ethical public service culture, conducting audit guidance training targeting some 400 public officials with less than five years of service, and consistently promoting preventive audits such as 'nudge audits' that support proactive administration.

County Governor Seo Tae-won said, "I will continuously promote preventive audits that create a working environment and minimize audit risks," and added, "Through this, I will build Gapyeong County that residents trust."
