Gyeonggi Province to Conduct Comprehensive Audit of Hwaseong City from 13th to 24th

Gyeonggi Province will conduct its first comprehensive municipal audit of Hwaseong City from the 13th to 24th this year.

The audit will focus on the feasibility and appropriateness of the Jeonggok Marine Industrial Complex construction project, Hwahong District reclaimed land development, inducement of the National Natural History Museum, automotive theme park development, and other projects. It will also examine the appropriateness of complex cultural facility development and promotion of regional cultural festivals, as well as conduct intensive inspections of recycling facility management and private sewage treatment plant operational management.

Prior to the comprehensive audit of Hwaseong City, the Province plans to hold a meeting with public officials and executives of the civil service labor union's Hwaseong branch to explain the audit direction and gather suggestions.

The audit will be conducted as prevention-focused audit activities to encourage proactive administration in order to foster a working public service culture, to eliminate the image of enforcement and punishment-oriented, high-handed and authoritarian audits, and to spread an administrative culture of autonomy and responsibility.

Additionally, during the audit period, a "public audit system" will be operated to receive reports on various irregular practices and improper conduct related to permits and licenses occurring in everyday life, as well as all livelihood-related matters that cause inconvenience to residents.

Public audit reports can be submitted to the Gyeonggi Province Audit Office (Tel. 080-900-0188), fax (031-8008-2058), Internet (www.gg.go.kr), email (sonks74@gg.go.kr), and the Hwaseong City Comprehensive Audit Office (Tel. 031-369-6473, fax 031-369-6475).

The Province will strictly protect the identity of reporters to ensure they do not face any disadvantage.
