How to handle a report

After receiving a report and verifying its details, the ACRC, if necessary, refers the case to the Board of Audit & Inspection, investigative agencies, or supervisory institution of reported public organization and informs the reporter of the investigation result notified.

In case the report directly contributed to recovering or increasing the revenue of a public institution or reducing its expenses, the reporter may be paid rewards up to 3 billion won.

The ACRC provide protective measures such as guarantee of employment, physical protection, confidentiality for reporters, cooperators, etc. in order for them to report the violation without fear.

Handing Procedure

The ACRC may file a direct accusation with the prosecution against "high-ranking" public officials with suspected corrupt conduct.

The ACRC may request reinvestigation when the initial investigation is deemed inadequate.

If an accusation against high-ranking officials is dismissed, the ACRC may file an application for adjudication with the High Court.
