This training was led by Professor Kim Inseong from the Department of Public Administration at Jeju National University, who provided a lecture focused on practical aspects of administrative audits, methods for analyzing audit materials, and effective questioning techniques.

The training particularly emphasized identifying the core content of audit materials, highlighting issues based on that analysis, introducing questioning methods to arrive at policy alternatives, and sharing major audit cases to enhance practical response capabilities.

Kim Jongsik, Chairperson of the Seongju County Council, stated, "Administrative audits are a crucial legislative activity for reviewing overall county administration and examining the appropriateness of policies and the efficiency of budget execution from the residents' perspective. Through this training, we aim to further strengthen our members' expertise and policy analysis capabilities, thereby conducting substantial and trustworthy administrative audits that earn the confidence of our residents."

The Seongju County Council will hold the 301st first regular session for 21 days, from September 1 to 21. At this session, items including the administrative audit and the settlement bill for the 2025 fiscal year will be reviewed and resolved.

Attention is focused on whether the administrative audit will go beyond simple criticisms to present directions for improving county administration and propose practical policy alternatives.
