North Jeolla Provincial Office of Education Implements Revision of Public School Accounting Rules

The Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education has implemented partial revisions to the 'Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Public School Accounting Rules' in order to reduce the administrative burden on school staff and increase autonomy at school sites.

On the 8th, the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education announced that the focus of these revisions was on addressing legal inconsistencies and streamlining school accounting execution procedures.

The revisions clearly specify the deadline for closing school accounting transactions in accordance with the Early Childhood Education Act and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as the end of the accounting year, with exceptions allowing income and expenditure processing until March 20 of the following year.

Furthermore, in alignment with the amendment to the Local Finance Act Enforcement Decree, the item 'facility expenses' was removed from the budget-specific restricted items, enhancing flexibility in school budget management.

In particular, provisions were made to electronically store and manage accounting documents created using electronic data processing devices. As a result, cash journals, collection books, expenditure books, and other accounting ledgers that schools used to print and store monthly can now be stored in electronic file format after approval through the K-Edu Finance System.

Some school accounting execution procedures were also streamlined. A new 'advance payment' item was introduced to allow bulk payment of taxes and fees to receive discounts, and operating expenses for student councils and parent-teacher associations were added to the list of recipients of 'subsidies.'

Lee Sang-gon, the head of the Budget Department at the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education, stated, "Through these rule revisions, unnecessary administrative tasks at school sites will be reduced, and autonomy in budget execution will be expanded," adding, "We will continue to improve systems to allow schools to focus on educational activities."
