Uiwang City Selected as Excellent Organization in Gyeonggi Province's 'Internal Audit Activity Evaluation' for Two Consecutive Years

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Uiwang City announced on the 1st that it was selected as an excellent organization for two consecutive years in the Gyeonggi Province-led '2026 City and County Internal Audit Activity Evaluation,' following last year's selection.

The evaluation, conducted on 31 cities and counties in Gyeonggi Province, was undertaken to promote substantive internal audits and activation of proactive administration. It was implemented based on a total of 6 categories and 31 indicators, including △preventive auditing △activation of proactive administration △substantive improvements in internal audit activities △improvement efforts in internal audit activities.

The city won an 'Encouragement Award' in the evaluation category for municipalities with populations under 300,000 (14 cities and counties), demonstrating solid audit capabilities. In particular, experience-based integrity initiatives with direct participation from the organization's leadership and customized business consulting for private outsourced agencies were recognized as innovative best practices in the province and received high evaluations.

In this evaluation, the city was assessed for establishing a 'consulting-centered audit system' that moves away from purely detection-focused audits to provide solutions for preventively addressing repeatedly cited issues in private outsourced agencies, thereby raising administrative efficiency to the next level.

Additionally, the city's positive efforts in preventive audit activities, including the realization of transparent citizen-centered audit administration through the Citizen Honorary Auditor system and proactively identifying and improving irrational systems, positively influenced this award.

Mayor Kim Sung-je stated, "The selection as an excellent organization for two consecutive years is the result of all public officials actively working toward corruption prevention and the establishment of a prevention-centered audit system," and added, "Going forward, we will further substantiate preventive audit activities and expand a transparent and integrity-based public service culture that earns citizens' trust."
