Gyeonggi Province is recruiting 100 citizen auditors.
On June 11, Gyeonggi Provincial Government announced that it will publicly recruit the "4th Citizen Auditors" until 6:00 p.m. on June 24, in order to ensure a fairer and more transparent audit administration. The total number of recruits is 100, and the positions are divided among 12 fields, including human resources and labor, information technology, urban civil engineering, women’s welfare, agriculture, forestry and animal affairs, and industrial safety.
Gyeonggi Provincial Government plans to select citizen auditors by considering region, gender, and age in order to reflect diverse resident opinions in a balanced manner.
In particular, this recruitment will expand the number of auditors in the information and communications sector to address new audit demands arising from the digital transformation of society and to focus on data-based audits. To reduce the gap in expertise between regions due to competition rates, the selection areas will be divided into two regions (southern and northern) for recruitment purposes.
Citizen auditors participate in Gyeonggi Province’s audit and investigation activities. Their roles include: making suggestions for improvement and requesting corrections regarding unreasonable systems and practices; inspecting the implementation status of corrective measures; monitoring and evaluating areas vulnerable to corruption; and participating in the process of establishing integrity policies.
Eligibility requirements include residing or working in the Seoul metropolitan area, holding relevant professional qualifications and practical experience, currently holding or having held a position as an assistant professor or higher at a university or research institute, having experience as a public official at level 5 or above in the national or local government, being recommended by a non-profit private organization, or possessing other expertise and experience necessary for audit work.
The final citizen auditors selected will be appointed in July 2025, and their term will last for two years (from July 2025 to July 2027).
Those wishing to participate can download the relevant forms from the Gyeonggi Provincial Government website (www.gg.go.kr), complete them, and submit them along with the required documents by email (fruit7373@gg.go.kr) by 6:00 p.m. on June 24. Further details can be found on the Gyeonggi Provincial Government website.
An Sangseop, Chairperson of the Gyeonggi Provincial Audit Committee, said, "By appointing citizen auditors with expertise and experience, we will expand public participation and realize a fair and transparent audit administration through the eyes and hands of the residents."
