FY 2013 Final Accounts Analysis by Ministry: Volume I was published to effectively support the House Steering Committee, the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, the National Policy Committee, and the Strategy and Finance Committee of the National Assembly with their review of the FY 2013 final accounts of ministries and agencies under their jurisdiction. Its main contents are as follows:
For the ministries and agencies overseen by the House Steering Committee, issues were raised including the low usage of foreign books at the National Assembly Library, and the poor implementation of annual maintenance and improvement programs for the Presidential Secretariat and the Office of National Security.
For the Ministry of Justice, overseen by the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, the analysis identified issues concerning the means of payment for the Legal Ethics and Professional Conduct Council, and the poor implementation of annual training in professional investigation. Other issues included the poor enforcement of limits on foreign travel expenses of the Asia Legal Conference by the Ministry of Government Legislation; payment of excessive compensations for the members of the Administrative Appeals Commission by the Board of Audit and Inspection of Korea; inadequate implementation of foreign training of Constitution research officers of the Constitutional Court; and misappropriation of contributions from deposit money by the Supreme Court.
For ministries, overseen by the National Policy Committee, issues were found including the inappropriate management of contributions for informatization projects by the National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences under the Prime Minister's Office, and inadequate performance indicators concerning protection and reward for whistleblowers against corruption by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Committee.
Other issues discovered included the payment of excessive commissions on the consigned management of golf courses by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs; misappropriation of subsidies for office building relocation by the Fair Trade Commission; and concentrated and duplicate investment in KDB Financial Group and Industrial Bank of Korea (capital investment fund) by the Financial Services Commission.
It was also pointed out that the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, overseen by the Strategy and Finance Committee, needed to consider economic circumstances in expediting its budget execution, actively participate in the budget-saving incentive system, and minimize its year-end excess cash.
Furthermore, the analysis revealed the following problems: the occurrence of carryovers due to the next-generation comprehensive tax system overhaul project and the project delays in the case of the National Tax Service; insufficient implementation of separate ordering system for softwares for the fourth-generation UNI-PASS in the case of the Korea Customs Service; inappropriate use of the contract price less the standard price for the informatization project in the case of the Public Procurement Service; and inappropriate usage of basic expenses of the Statistics Policy Bureau by the Statistics Korea in its support for the Korea Statistics Promotion Institute.
