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 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.
