The Financial Supervisory Service announced on July 14 that it will expand financial training programs for military finance officers in order to promote financial education within the armed forces.
To achieve this, the agency will broaden the pool of trainees from only finance officers to include other finance-related personnel such as military civilian employees, and will increase the frequency of the training sessions from once a year to twice a year.
From today until July 17, the first half of the "National Defense Finance Personnel Financial Training" program will be conducted for 55 finance-related personnel from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Ministry of National Defense-affiliated units.
The training program covers topics such as understanding finance, financial support systems for low-income individuals, debt adjustment systems, teaching methods, and recently popular subjects within the military such as financial planning and virtual asset education.
Among those who complete the training, applicants will be eligible to undergo a certification review for financial education instructors. Those who pass will receive a certificate as a military financial education instructor, issued under the name of the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service.
A Financial Supervisory Service official stated, "Due to recent changes in the service environment for military personnel, such as wage increases and the use of mobile phones, there has been a rise in demand for education on asset management and the prevention of financial fraud." The official emphasized, "Finance personnel who complete the training will be able to provide financial education to service members who otherwise have limited access, thereby helping to improve their understanding of financial matters."
