  This research analyzes the results from the administration’s corrective measures requested by the National Assembly based on latter part of Para. 1 of Art. 84 of the National Assembly Law when it passed a resolution on FY 2006 Settlement of Accounts and Allowances Appropriations. This research is aiming at supporting the deliberation on Budget Bill and the audit of settlement of accounts by analyzing administration’s corrective measures.

As a result of audit of settlement of accounts, the National Assembly adopted 760 required corrective measures, 61 incidental opinions and passed 4 requests for audit. In this research, these requests above are classified by committees and 57 cases are addressed which are insufficiently executed or repetitively pointed out. Especially 46 cases including BTL(Build-Transfer-Lease) have not yet been corrected although the National Assembly has repetitively requested to correct them for past three years.

NABO suggested four points to be considered in correction. First, the word, “policy-improvement” should be included besides “illegal and unfair” in the condition of request. Second, efficiency, performance-oriented, transparency and soundness of fiscal policy should be focused. Third, overall controlling power of the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts should be strengthened, so that several other ministries and offices including Ministry of Strategy and Finance could be added to the list of objects for Corrective Measure requirement. Fourth, cases pointed out repetitively should be managed to link Inspection or Deliberation on Budget.
