Citizen Audit Request
There are two systems that allow citizens to request audits from the audit committee: administrative audit requests and resident audit requests.
Request for Administrative Audit (Local Autonomy Act Article 75)
This applies to all municipal work.
A petition requires signatures from at least one-fiftieth of the number of eligible voters.
Request for Resident Audit (Local Government Act Article 242)
This is a system that requests audits of illegal or improper financial accounting actions by the city's executive bodies and employees, and seeks necessary measures to prevent, correct, and compensate for such actions.
The following financial accounting actions are subject to this.
- Public Expenditure
- Acquisition, management, and disposal of property (land, buildings, goods, etc.)
- Conclusion and performance of contracts (construction contracts, purchases, etc.)
- Liabilities and Other Obligations (such as Borrowing)
- Failure to impose and collect public funds (such as failure to collect Municipal Tax)
- Neglecting the management of property (such as failing to claim damages)
Note: Items 1 to 4 above are also applicable when each act is reasonably expected to occur with a certain degree of certainty.
If more than one year has passed since the date of these acts, claims cannot be made unless there is a valid reason.
If you are a citizen, you can make a claim even as an individual.
