The FY 2012 Final Accounts Analysis by Ministry, Volume I is published to support an efficient review of the FY 2012 final accounts by the House Steering Committee, Legislation and Judiciary Committee, National Policy Committee, and Strategy and Finance Committee of the National Assembly. The final accounts of the relevant ministries were analyzed in detail, and the results are reported in this publication.
For the ministries and agencies overseen by the House Steering Committee, we raised issue with how the National Human Rights Commission operates its Human Rights Office and concluded that private contracts signed by the Office of the Minister for Special Affairs are inappropriate.
For the ministries and agencies overseen by the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, we pointed out that the Ministry of Justice’s Legal House Call initiative is similar or duplicate in nature with other existing programs to improve legal services and that some policy research services were inappropriately commissioned. The budget of the Children Legislative Officer Experience Program of the Ministry of Government Legislation was used for purposes other than those originally stated. The Audit and Inspection Training Institute violated the State Property Act by giving its cafeteria permission to use government-owned property for free. We also raised issue with the way the Constitutional Court of Korea disbursed event service fees in relation to participation in an international conference and how the Supreme Court manages security deposits as part of non-budgetary accounts.
For the ministries and agencies overseen by the National Policy Committee, we raised issue with the practice of research societies and research institutes under the Prime Minister’s Office leaving contributions unused or carried forward in large amounts. The performance indicators for the Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission’s initiative to promote people’s rights and interests should be improved. The Ministry of Patriots & Veterans Affairs must improve the way it recoups excessive veteran benefit payouts. The Fair Trade Commission needs to reform its surcharge reduction program, the Financial Services Commission must collect surcharge receivables, and the Deposit Insurance Fund Bond Repayment Fund has delayed the sale of its assets.
For the ministries and agencies overseen by the Strategy and Finance Committee, it was found that the Ministry of Strategy and Finance concluded a consulting contract in excess of its budget, renewed an online lottery system development contract in violation of the National Finance Act, which prohibits carrying forward a budget more than one time due to an accident, and executed money for a feasibility study of an international development project without legal basis. The National Tax Service needs to improve the management of outstanding non-tax receivables, losses due to nonpayment, and national taxes in arrears. The Korea Customs Service must minimize the warehouse rent for its initiative to promote logistics and facilitate trade, the Public Procurement Service lacked consistency in accounting for its supplies as non-operating income, and Statistics Korea must manage its survey gift inventory.
