“FY 2015 Budget Bill Analysis by Ministry” Volume 1 was published to help the National Assembly effectively review the budget bills for 2015 of the House Steering Committee, the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, the National Policy Committee, and the Strategy and Finance Committee. The key findings of the budget bill analysis are reported as follows.
First, regarding the ministries and agencies overseen by the House Steering Committee, the report analyzes the National Assembly’s support of the Parliamentarians’ Society, issues arising from implementation of facility management and improvement programs of the Presidential Secretariat and the Office of National Security and the National Human Rights Commission’s programs to protect human rights in the areas where they are most likely to be violated.
In regard to the ministries and agencies overseen by the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, the report points to a lack of differentiation in the Ministry of Justice’s programs to improve the Business Environment Index and also points out that its program to enforce regulations on civil security and public safety overlaps with other programs. The report analyzes the Ministry of Government Legislation’s plan to improve the legislative system, the Board of Audit and Inspection’s program on its expense for audit activities, the Constitutional Court’s program to support proceedings of its trials, and the Supreme Court’s programs to support proceedings of its criminal trials and court-oriented trials.
As for the ministries and agencies overseen by the National Policy Committee, it is pointed out that the programs of the Government Policy Coordination and the Prime Minister’s Secretariat’s new task force team, which was established to eradicate corruption, overlap with other programs. Issues are raised in certain research projects proposed by the National Research Council for Economic, Humanities and Social Studies and its government-funded research institutes. In addition, the report assesses the Anti- Corruption and Civil Rights Commission’s program to protect and compensate whistle-blowers, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs’ program to operate and promote the Independence Hall of Korea, the Fair Trade Commission’s program to provide technological support for developing countries, and the Financial Services Commission’s plan to protect consumers of financial products.
Finally, in the case of the ministries and agencies overseen by the Strategy and Finance Committee, the report examines the Ministry of Strategy and Finance’s programs to build a comprehensive system to centrally manage government subsidies, reward government agencies that contribute to fiscal reform, build a global cluster to promote the innovation and knowledge-driven economy, and share Korea’s economic development experience abroad. For the National Tax Service, the program to relocate its National Tax Service Museum is analyzed. Other programs studied in this report include the Korea Customs Services project to assess evasion of customs duties, the Public Procurement Service’s plan to develop its policies and improve procurement procedures, and Statistics Korea’s population and housing census.
