Pohang City Council seeks public tips ahead of annual administrative audit

The Pohang City Council in North Gyeongsang Province announced Friday that it will accept public tips for 14 days through Oct. 14, ahead of its 2026 administrative audit to be conducted during the 334th First Regular Session, which is set to open on Oct. 12.

Submissions may cover a broad range of municipal affairs, including unlawful or improper conduct, cases of budget waste, and suggestions for policy or system improvements.

However, tips will not be accepted if they infringe on personal privacy, involve matters under trial or investigation, risk personal attacks or false accusations, or are submitted anonymously.

Residents can submit tips through multiple channels during the submission period, including the Pohang City Council website, in-person visits, phone calls and fax.

Council Speaker Kim Cheol-su urged residents to come forward. "If there is anything Pohang citizens find unreasonable about the city's overall administration, or anything they believe needs improvement, I hope they will not hesitate to actively submit a tip," he said.
