In response to growing societal demands for integrity in the execution of subsidies, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province will conduct an intensive "Subsidy Management, Accounting, and Contract Work Practical Training" on June 23 for working-level staff of the Provincial Sports Council, the Disabled Sports Council, and affiliated and member organizations. The aim is to comprehensively strengthen transparency and accountability in subsidy programs for sports organizations by preemptively preventing accounting errors and conflicts of interest.

This training is designed to prevent improper spending, which commonly occurs in sports administration, and to enhance the practical understanding of subsidy and contract regulations among staff, thereby laying the foundation for sound fiscal management. The curriculum is characterized by a preventive approach, focusing on proactively controlling corruption risk factors during budget execution.

This practical training reflects a strong commitment to governance reform by the administration, aiming to proactively address, at the administrative level, persistent issues in sports subsidy execution such as favoritism in accounting practices and budget leakage risks due to lack of expertise.

Particularly at a time when the soundness of public finances is emerging as a key indicator in municipal evaluations, the province has expanded the scope of training to include not only the Sports Council but also working-level staff from all affiliated and member organizations. This approach is expected to eliminate any blind spots in management and, furthermore, serve as an institutional safety net to elevate the integrity of sports welfare programs funded by residents’ taxes to a premium level.

The main training modules will be strictly based on real-life practical cases and will include guidelines for managing subsidy projects, key checkpoints illustrated through case studies, and instructions on accounting and contract work. These will provide practical guidance to those responsible for day-to-day operations.

Ryu Ilsun, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Education at Jeju Province, emphasized, "Transparent management of subsidy programs and the establishment of sound accounting order are the most important factors in enhancing the integrity and reliability of sports organizations," adding, "We will continue to implement on-site training and tailored consulting to realize a fair and trustworthy sports administration for the residents."
