State Inspector’s report… “At this point, it may be pointed out that the former government is only exposing the faults.”
Choi Jae-hae, chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection, said on the 11th, “I am well aware that there are many concerns regarding the recent audit operation of the Board of Audit and Inspection.”
Chairman Choi said in a report on the state audit of the National Assembly’s Legislative and Judiciary Committee on the morning of the same day, and said, “There may be criticisms that at this point, only the faults of the past government are revealed due to the nature of audits that check the past, but the Board of Audit and Inspection consistently maintains political neutrality. I would like to say that I have been working hard to keep it and give thanks fairly.”
This seems to be a rebuttal to the opposition’s offensive that the political neutrality and independence of the Board of Audit and Inspection were undermined in relation to the attempted written investigation of former President Moon Jae-in and the controversy over text messages between Yoo Byung-ho, Secretary General of the Board of Audit and Inspection, and Lee Kwan-seop, chief of state affairs planning in the presidential office.
Director Choi asked, “In the future, the Board of Audit and Inspection intends to conduct strict audits on the government’s business performance without any consideration in accordance with laws and principles, so please pay a lot of attention.”
President Choi also said, “In order to faithfully fulfill the duties of auditing and inspection of duties granted by the Constitution, the Board of Audit and Inspection has set as the operating principle of the Board of Audit and Inspection, which prepares for the future from the perspective of the people. We have been working hard on ‘auditing like an auditor,’ focusing our capabilities on
“To support the performance of key audit tasks, we are renovating the overall audit operation, including organizational restructuring and improving the internal evaluation system,” he added.
