The FY 2012 Final Accounts Analysis by Ministry, Volume III is published to support an efficient review of the FY 2012 final accounts by the National Defense Committee and the Security & Public Administration Committee of the National Assembly. The final accounts of the relevant ministries were analyzed in detail, and the results are reported in this publication. 

For the ministries and agencies overseen by the National Defense Committee, the Ministry of National Defense needs to review the taxing of its personnel working on overseas missions and submit the Special Measures Agreement subject to ratification prior to review of the budget bill. We also pointed out that the Ministry improperly executed and managed the personnel expenses of non-commissioned officers and used provisions expenses for purposes other than those listed. In the case of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, it was found that the budget set for the Golden Eagle-A program had not been executed as planned, the long-range anti-submarine torpedo program recorded poor performance, and the program to develop an anti-aircraft satellite warning system was poorly planned. The Military Manpower Administration did not have a specific plan for coverage of travel expenses of conscription candidates and needs to improve the way local military manpower administrations run the special judicial police. 

Of the ministries and agencies overseen by the Security & Public Administration Committee, the Ministry of Security and Public Administration failed to fully execute the budget set for the Saemaeul New Community Movement as planned, and its regional community job creation program recorded poor performance. Also, it was found that the Government Employees Pension Service’s investment of reserve funds had a poor return and its pension program poorly planned. The program to support electronic information was also inadequately executed and managed. As for the National Police Agency, the budget set for improving the wide-area transportation management system was not fully executed, too large an amount of the budget to improve transport safety had been carried over as a result of poor planning, and the budget to prevent traffic accidents was inadequately executed and managed. In the case of the National Emergency Management Agency, current transfer receipts were not properly collected, a problem that seems to recur every year, while the program to develop safety technology for disaster relief performed poorly and performance indicators need to be improved. The National Election Commission overestimated the cost of managing presidential and general elections and inadequately executed and managed its budget.
